Rough textures and distressed finishes are surging in popularity right now, with many of us shrugging off the polished look in favour of something a little more rough and urban. This hip industrial style celebrates the bare bones of a building: rather than hiding its framework under plaster and paint, it brings it out on show.
So instead of kitting out your kitchen afresh, why not pare it back to its raw ingredients, then add vintage chairs in beaten-up metal, retro lighting and reclaimed wooden furniture to give it a twist of grungy cool.
