Chicago Office Break Room:

Sometimes the most overlooked spaces tell the clearest stories. Key Interiors has a knack for turning a simple office break room into a purposeful, inviting pause in the workday. This remodel presents an open, clean, highly functional kitchen and break area that balances utility with refined simplicity.

A few details stand out: the bulletproof metal barstools and high-top tables read industrial and durable while keeping the space approachable for quick meals or coffee breaks. The exposed concrete pillar—neatly painted yet still bearing its construction battle scars—anchors the room, adding texture and authenticity that complements the modern finishes.

The mothers’ room preserves the exposed brick from the original structure, integrating a sink and usable counter area to make the space genuinely practical. An oversized chair, soft carpet, and thoughtfully placed wall art introduce warmth and comfort, turning a necessary room into one that feels considered and calm.

Photographically, these elements create strong visual contrast: hard metals and concrete against soft textiles and warm brick, wide open sight-lines tempered by intimate nooks. It’s a reminder that well-designed workplace amenities can be both functional and beautiful—spaces that invite people to linger, recharge, and return to work refreshed.  To see more of our work or to schedule a photoshoot please visit our website.
