If your kitchen is industrial or if you want to add an industrial touch to the space, an industrial kitchen island is exactly what you need. Sometimes even a modern or glam kitchen needs such a piece to chill the ambience, make less pathos and create a contrast.
Concrete Kitchen Islands
Concrete is a very industrial material, and a sculptural concrete kitchen island will make a stylish statement and bring a more modern vibe to the space. it can be rocked not only in an industrial space but also a modern, minimalist, rustic and many others – create a bold contrast choosing just one kitchen island that contrasts all the rest. Your kitchen island can be fully of concrete with sculptural shapes and lines or a wooden one with a concrete countertop that is very durable. Such kitchen islands usually don’t provide storage but you may have a breakfast space or even use the island as a dining table.

Metal And Wood Kitchen Islands
Metal and wood is a perfect combo for an industrial kitchen island; such a piece will bring a more vintage feel to the space, and if you need it – go for pipes and a wooden countertop, this is a win-win combo. Add casters to make the island portable and make some shelves for storage – and you’ll get a super functional piece to rock! Another idea is going for a more laconic look: blackened metal and wooden tops including the countertop. Include a breakfast space or a dining one into the island to add more functionality to the item. Going for a fully wooden kitchen island is also an option but I strongly recommend to use crates and stuff like that or artificially add age and inscriptions to the island to make it industrial. Enjoy!
