Grey kitchen ideas, perfect for any design

With bold colours on the rise and the white kitchen remaining a classic option, there is much to say about the in-between. Adding a wealth of depth and sophistication to your interior design.

From a hint to almost black, grey kitchen cabinets can offer a versatile colour palette for any design. We find many customers requesting a grey colour scheme want a ‘blank canvas’ to then build on throughout their complete kitchen design - though some go on to choose something completely different!

With so many shades available the tone you choose will determine the look and feel of your space. Warm-toned greys will feel completely different to blue-based options.

We asked our Atlantis team how they use different greys to create amazing designs that feel unique to you and your home.

A touch above white

In this kitchen design, Andrey has used light grey, gloss kitchen units to flood the space with light. The darker wood floor and the bold blue/grey walls provide the perfect contrast for this design.

Open shelving and half-width glass wall units add extra storage without feeling too enclosed.

Blue based shades

This kitchen has a fantastic view of Lake Windermere which Dan has used as inspiration when using the blue/grey scheme with the popular Sheraton In-line signature range painted in spitfire blue. Partnered with the warmer shades of the flooring and lighting it’s the perfect place to sit with a morning coffee.

Mix and match greys

Using a combination of pale and dark grey cabinets can add definition to a larger kitchen, but with a softer contrast than you would get from a black and white scheme.

Stef has used a Chippendale Moda, classic shaker style cabinet doors in graphite for the base units and tall storage and light grey wall cabinets. Combining the Diore Cortona Quartz worktop and the yellow tiles, this kitchen boasts a very bright feel with colours that really pop.

Matte grey or gloss?

Gloss kitchen cabinets can add a different look altogether. For this scheme, Ian used handleless Sheraton In-Line gloss cabinets in limestone and anthracite for the oven ‘bank’ to add contrast. The finish on your kitchen doors can make all the difference, especially in a smaller kitchen.
