Often used in bedroom design, the soft appeal of grey can cool many interiors. Yet one secret power remains - its subtle transformation of kitchens. Often left in the cold for warmer wooden tones, its ability to make a kitchen look fresh and contemporary works wonders for a range of home styles. Whether blending into white, creating the industrial or making smooth moves in charcoal, its range and depth of hue rival many traditional kitchen colours. Paired with brighter yellows and tonal blue gradients, it offers a clean palette without the drama of white or black. Look at our top forty picks for yourself.

Striking yet muted in mid-grey-panelling, a strip of LED-lighting sits pretty above contrasting white peonies.

A touch of difference to a white wall and light flooring, this grey hue keeps it fresh while storing books.

Want a kitchen with a café vibe? This steel-and-wood creation holds simple wooden shelving on matte walls and grey wooden floors.

Almost out of a picture book, this kitchen’s spiderweb chandelier, rounded ceiling, snaking extractor fan and windy bonzai add something of the spooky to mealtimes. A grey concrete floor and darker wood features keep the look far from kitsch.

Grey need not be boring. This wood-encased design injects blue into the mix, with same-colour walling extending the space.

Give the Italian kitchen a revamp with exposed brick walls, wood and cabinetry in grey. A set of five steel drop lights separate the dining area.

Prefer to be unique? Why not hang an art piece on grey matte walls amidst hanging potted plants, an L-shaped bench, and draping modern chandelier?

Textures reign king in this design marked by brushed concrete and wavering wood. An industrial tap hovers amidst a series of block grey and wood shapes.

40 Gray Kitchens That Are Anything But Dull

If our “graydar” is correct, gray is coming in hot this season—or rather, very achromatic. While all-white kitchens have been all the rage during our Covid-confined era, and colorful kitchens are now having a moment, the in-between is becoming the ultimate sign of sophistication. From a light barely-there hue to a moody charcoal shade—a gray palette in your cookery is tasteful, understated, and endlessly versatile. In short, it creates a space that is muted in all the right ways. Ready to go beyond black and white? Check out these gray kitchens that we’ve culled from the archives and we dare you not to go to the dark side.

Modern kitchens in gray (silver or metallic)

Some may find gray to be boring and uninteresting. However, recently gray kitchens (silver, metallic color can also be attributed to gray) are gaining popularity and compete with white as the base color.

Now designers like to combine the colors of the kitchen set not with white, but with gray. Gray goes well with many colors, for example: beige, white, red, orange, brown, green. How harmonious the composition will look as a whole will depend on whether the interior is diluted with some bright accents and how the surrounding colors of the walls, floor, and ceiling are chosen.

Gray has become a real favorite for modern kitchen interior designers. If you look into the situation, it turns out that the love for this elegant tone is due not only to fashion trends, but also to a number of other reasons.

So, gray color:
* Soothes, cools and relieves stress. It is ideal for decorating apartments where overly emotional people live, often nervous, who lack balance and stability.
* It is neutral and emphasizes the advantages of the widest palette of colors and the most diverse textures in the surrounding interior.
* Simply made for the kitchen due to its non-staining and practicality.
* Can be used for both large spaces and small kitchens.

What colors are multifaceted gray friends with?

Gray is far from being as dull and faceless as it might seem at first glance. Being a mixture of opposites, white and black, it is very distinctive and has a complex spectrum of cold and warm shades. Light gray and gray-blue, smoky and ash, mother-of-pearl and silver, chrome and slate, charcoal and anthracite are far from all the richness of the palette that this multifaceted color conceals.

Naturally, when designing a kitchen, it is important to choose the right shade of gray that will set the desired peaceful, not gloomy atmosphere. In this regard, when working on design and selecting furniture, you should avoid too dark and cold tones or use them in small doses.

Grey, as a basic color, can be actively combined with various colours.
The following combinations will be successful:
* Gray and white . A harmonious tandem that will look just perfect if the white color, which sometimes gives gray an excessive sharpness, is replaced with a milky, creamy or beige shade.
* Gray and beige . Warm shades of wood will soften some of the coldness of gray and bring a cozy note to the design of the kitchen.

* Gray and purple/lilac . This is undoubtedly one of the most popular duets - colorful, juicy and very effective.

* Gray and blue . In fact, a classic solution, the severity of which can be muted by choosing a light gray color and a delicate blue tint from the pastel palette.

* Gray and red/orange/pink . Such a combination, of course, is somewhat difficult to perceive, but if the bright palette is traced only in details, gray remains the dominant color, then the kitchen interior will be very catchy and unusual.

Gray looks especially impressive when pink or blue is added to its gray base. The colors ash rose and smoky dove have been very popular lately. In combination with these colors, a gray kitchen can be a stunning success.

Walls, floor and ceiling Any color that harmonizes with gray is suitable for decorating the walls, floor and ceiling of the kitchen.
Here are some options: pink, purple, blue, light green, warm yellow.
In a kitchen with a gray kitchen set, you can break the basic laws of room design and make the walls a bright color that contrasts with the floor and is much darker. The floor and ceiling in this case must be of the same color.
Worktop and backsplash
In most gray kitchens, it is not necessary to make the worktop and backsplash the same color and material. A kitchen decorated in this way will look boring. It is better that the countertop and backsplash differ in color from the main color of the kitchen. The color of the apron can repeat the color scheme of the walls. Thus, the apron is, as it were, a continuation of the wall or one of its parts.

Gray kitchen curtains
To decorate the room and give it a playful mood, you need to choose curtains that can best accomplish this task.
* They must not be white, beige or grey.
* In small quantities, patterns, ornaments, drawings may be present on the curtains.
* Night curtains will not spoil the interior of a gray kitchen.

The interior of a gray kitchen rarely turns out to be uninteresting and faded. So that the gray kitchen does not disappoint you, decorate the walls with bright decor, lay a bright tablecloth on the table, and hang beautiful curtains on the windows.
