For many years gray colour has been popular for kitchen cabinet designs, but this doesn’t mean you can just pick any colour with ‘gray’ in its name. To choose the right colour combinations takes planning and specifically thought. For gray kitchen cabinet designs, you would like to consider the design style you’re envisioning for your new kitchen before committing to ‘your gray’.
Colour Options of Gray Kitchen Cabinet Designs
Much like white paint colours, no two gray paint colours are alike. Cabinet colours live on a colour spectrum that ranges from warm to neutral to dark colour options; most cabinetry paint colours even go as far as to align themselves as a “contemporary” design.
The gray colour will absolutely pair with anything else, making it the perfect shade to add to your kitchen style that needs a touch of cool. We know that classical white kitchen cabinets will always be in style, but we can assure you that gray kitchen cabinets are trending and can easily pair with a variety of shades and tones. Here is a list of details for your gray kitchen cabinets that can be paired with:
- Metallic cabinet hardware
- Marble countertops
- Creative backsplash
- Classic subway tile
- Wood finishes ranging from dark to light
Dove Gray – Dove gray is on the light end of the gray spectrum and It resembles a foggy morning sky. This gray is combined and has a reflection of both light and dark colours making it a transitional shade.
For an unexpected contrast, we suggest you paint your cabinets with dove gray and then pair with a backsplash tile. It looks also elegant with marble or wooden countertops.
Blue Gray – Blue-gray looks pretty elegant especially when it’s paired with metallic accents in tones of gold or nickel. In addition, we suggest you pair with a complex floor tile, either dark or light colours, or with a classic hardwood floor.
Green Gray – If you like the colours in neutral shade green-gray is the right choice for you. It is a nuanced compromise and brings in the tones of nature. It can be paired with tones like white, tan, dove gray or brown.
Warm Gray Kitchen Cabinet Designs
When you think about warm grays, you have to think for yellow or brown undertones while cool grays have hushed hues of blue. Distressed gray includes grain or veining of different gray hues that create a rustic appearance. The latest colour trend is a very warm gray that can look almost beige, called “greige” which is a combination of ‘gray beige’.
Comforting Neutral Gray Cabinets
A special neutral gray is a black and white mix, but we aren’t really seeing a true neutral gray as a common choice these days. What we do see are infinite shades of grays that run the gamut of warm to cool and everything in between.
Luxurious Dark Gray Cabinetry Designs
When renovating a kitchen with dark gray kitchen cabinets, you would like to have a warming space up for some balance. That said, consider light charcoals for the wall colour or appliances which will instill a stately, traditional vibe.
For many years, the dark grays colours have been used in different kitchen styles. To that end, a darker gray will provide timeless kitchen design, so you won’t have to go through another update for many years.
Gray colour options incorporate subtle hints of blue. Our experts say this shade exudes a cultured, regal effect.
Gray Kitchen Cabinet Designs – Contemporary Style
If you prefer a lighter cabinet colour but aren’t looking for a sterile white kitchen, light gray is your ideal choice. Think for steel-coloured—a slight offshoot from white. Light gray colour provides you with a contemporary style and pairs well with a flat panel door style.
Contemporary or modern styling leans toward the cool side of the colour palette, imparting a chic, modern motif.
