Here we share our gallery featuring corrugated metal in kitchens including island, backsplash, walls and ceiling designs.
Often found sitting on top of a roof, corrugated galvanized steel is not the most obvious material to incorporate into your kitchen. Due to its composition it can be noisy to move and soft enough to dent, not to mention its very raw metallic quality. Whilst this material certainly doesn’t scream ‘instant’ glamour, there’s definitely more to this metal than meets our judging eye.
This interior design style is all about creating a cohesive scheme that combines the classic with contemporary. Picture a rustic country kitchen sporting its characteristic warm wood tones, enveloping a striking kitchen island that boasts a show of corrugated galvanized steel across its base. It’s a huge statement, and given the unique character of this material, both in terms of metal type and texture, is something that other materials simply fail to achieve.
Corrugated Metal Kitchen Island
However, you do also need to bear in mind the practicalities of this choice. If you plan on arranging stools around the island for people to sit and chat, there’s a high chance that your guests could kick the metal, or dent it as they get on/off the stools. Don’t forget the resultant noise this would cause.
Kitchen with Corrugated Galvanized Steel Peninsula
This style could also be used for a kitchen peninsula. It can be used effectively to bring a rustic element in to a contemporary, traditional or modern style, as well as help create a farmhouse design.
Kitchen with Corrugated Galvanized Steel Ceiling
How about including the metal as part of your ceiling? This option allows you to keep a more traditional interior design within your kitchen living area, yet provides a unique, endearing contrast as soon as your guests look up! There’s a few different ideas you could experiment with. Your kitchen island doesn’t need to be the only place you incorporate this metal.
Think about scale, and how the material would sit within the rest of your room. Perhaps a couple of metal wash tubs with a panel of corrugated galvanized steel (a DIY project?) could be all that’s required to add a unique twist to your kitchen.
Corrugated Metal Kitchen Backsplash
Another use for corrugated metal in kitchens is using them as the backsplash. This type of backsplash can add a lot of character to a design and are inexpensive to buy and relatively easy as a DIY project to install.
