Check out this industrial-style kitchen-diner
The owners knocked down walls between two rooms and a hallway to create this stylish open-plan kitchen-diner. Sleek grey units, bare brick walls, whitewashed floorboards and vintage accessories give the kitchen-diner a modern, industrial-style vibe. The pale colour scheme and metallic surfaces reflect the limited natural light, making the room feel bright and airy.

Pale grey kitchen-diner with island unit storage
Rather than conventionally wrapping the units around the walls and having high as well as base units, the owners have chosen to use several freestanding pieces of furniture to create more of an open-plan space. An electric fire was ripped out to reveal the original fireplace beneath and Venetian blinds have replaced the curtains that once overshadowed the window, allowing light to stream in.

Industrial-style kitchen with Shaker cupboards
Exposing the brickwork, painting the walls white and whitewashing the floorboards created a background for adding lots of industrial elements, such as the metal shelving unit and railway-style clock. The pale grey units are Shaker style with black pull handles, to add to the industrial look. Black-framed newspaper cuttings create a focal point and tie in with the monochrome scheme in the rest of the room.

Kitchen-diner with industrial metal shelving unit
The green metal shelving unit came from a garage and had previously been used to store tools. It epitomises the kitchen's industrial look and fits perfectly into the brick alcove, while the open shelves showcase the owner's crockery and glassware. Choosing kitchen accessories in neutral tones allows feature pieces like these shelves to really stand out.

Monochrome kitchen-diner with island unit breakfast bar
The island comprises three units with a composite worksurface on top, giving storage space on one side and seating on the other. A row of metal worker-style stools adds to the industrial look and, combined with the wooden flooring, helps to create a more textured feel in the room. The stark monochrome colour scheme is softened by clever paintwork on the staircase.

Modern kitchen with restaurant-style tap and Smeg fridge
Reminiscent of a tap in a working restaurant kitchen, this rinser spray tap is stylish and functional, as well as adding an industrial edge to the scheme. The sleek Smeg fridge blends effortlessly with the industrial design and the monochrome colour palette. The bare brickwork behind the fridge really helps to show it off.

Contemporary kitchen-diner with industrial-style dining table and chalkboard wall
A statement wall covered in blackboard paint adds a touch of fun to the dining area. In keeping with the industrial theme in the rest of the room, the dining table is a discarded cable reel. Adding designer dining chairs keeps the look fresh and contemporary.

The kitchen-diner before the makeover…
This dark and gloomy room was opened up to create space for the new open-plan kitchen-diner. The carpet was ripped out in favour of sleek, wooden floors while the drab brown tones have given way to a meticulous monochrome scheme coupled with exposed brickwork and metallic surfaces which add interest and texture.
