Given the positive response to my posts on loft and industrial spaces, I thought I’d try a hybrid of sorts for today’s cool kitchen. This wonderful room is actually in a converted pasta factory in Marseille, France. (Don’t you love the idea of living in a pasta factory?!) I first saw it last week at The Kitchn, but the whole house has been featured on other design blogs.
It’s no mystery why; this space is wonderful! The rich colours are subtly atmospheric, and all the galvanized steel makes for a refreshing change from stainless. I especially like the mesh cupboard fronts and the quirky details- like the lamp next to the stove and the ornate picture frames. I think taking items outside their normal context creates a sense of fun, and gives a room character.
Don’t forget to check out The Kitchn’s post on this room, and the whole house at Loft Life.
