5 Ways To Add Grey To Your Kitchen Design

Adding color to your modern kitchen requires meticulous planning and execution. The previous blog covered the concept of the color wheel and some general color palette guidelines. Now, the focus is on adding a specific color to your custom kitchen design. Here is a kitchen manufacturer’s guide to tastefully add grey to your kitchen’s design scheme.

How To Add Grey To The Kitchen?

 

Can’t Go Wrong With A Classic Contrast

 

Go for a grey-and-white scheme and create a timeless appeal for your kitchen. Opt for dark grey for the base and wall cabinets and stick to ivory shades for the rest of the space in general. Be sure to add details with luxe marble countertops, and brass or bronze drawer pulls and handles to add more visual character. 

 

When In Doubt, Opt For A Two Tone Kitchen 

 

Not sure what type of grey is right for your modern kitchen? Pick two adjacent shades of grey from the color wheel, one lighter and the other bolder. Use the lighter shade for the majority of the cabinetry and add the darker shade to only one-third of the kitchen. This will create a nice balance and make sure no shade is too overpowering.

 

Black Accents For A Subtle Appeal

 

Although black is a bold color, when used properly, it creates a very tasteful and subtle contrast. Opt for a predominantly light grey kitchen and punctuate with black accents in the form of an ornate faucet, window frames, cabinet hardware, or even lighting fixtures. 

 

Show Off Your Creativity With Patterns

 

Let your personality shine through by adding some patterns to your grey color scheme. Go for terrazzo backsplash and flooring to really bring out some interesting textures in your kitchen design. Go for white, black, and grey patterns to visually tie the terrazzo tiles with the grey hues of the kitchen.

 

Use Timber Or Wood To Add Warmth

 

If bold shades or grey are not for you, then go for a lighter, more soothing shade for the entire space. Match the walls and cabinets with the same hue to create an illusion of space, especially if you have a compact kitchen. To add some visual contrast, go for warm accents such as timber chairs or stools, wooden cutting boards, and cutlery on display, or go all out and add wooden beams to the ceiling.
