Silver is the most common color of hardware used with gray kitchen cabinets, but many other metallic finishes also work well. Gold or brass drawer pulls are a bold choice if you have a warm gray, especially if paired with a matching faucet.
Grey cabinets are versatile and can be paired with various colors. Consider neutral wall color shades like warm white, beige, or greige for a classic look. For a bold contrast, the perfect choice is navy blue, deep green, or even a pop of vibrant color in your kitchen's decor.
The easiest fix is to bring in a pop of color. Dark green, dark teal, or a dark rich blue on the wainscoting and painting the ceiling trim to match one of the cabinet grey colors is what I'd probably do. That same dark color echoed in kitchen linens and mats to tie it together.
Incorporating Wood Elements
Wood is a natural choice when it comes to adding warmth to any space, and your kitchen is no exception. The natural grain and warm tones of wood can provide a beautiful contrast to the sleek, cool gray elements in your kitchen, adding depth and warmth.
It's so versatile, it goes with almost every color and type of wood, and in the kitchen, gray is easily combined with countertop types and the various finishes of appliances, from white to black to stainless steel.
What color hardware for gray kitchen cabinets? Gold, leather, black, brushed nickel, chrome, white—flexibility is gray's best friend.
Homeowners are opting for streamlined and integrated appliances that blend seamlessly with their kitchen cabinetry for a cohesive and polished look. Additionally, traditional finishes like plain stainless steel are being replaced by more stylish options such as black and matte black stainless steel.
The key to a great match lies in coordinating the tones. Warm gray shades go well with other warm-toned colors, like taupe, blush pink, butter yellow, and burnt orange. On the other hand, you can pair cool gray with other chill tones like navy blue, sage green, and cool whites.
Kitchens with gray cabinets are timeless because of their versatility, openness for styling, ease of pairing with other kitchen cabinet colors, and neutral effect.
Wood as a warm element in a grey kitchen
No matter how it is used, natural material creates a warm contrast to a neutral kitchen. Whether it's the flooring, shelves, or the kitchen countertop – wooden elements give your kitchen a cozy, homely ambience.
If you've got cabinets with a clean grey veneer, we suggest you pair them with light brown flooring for a simple and elegant look. Balboa, Nakan, or Sutton perfectly complement a neutral or slightly cool undertoned grey cabinet. Each of these colors will add a touch of class and sophistication to your space.
'The rule of thumb being match cool greys with other "chill" colours such as blue, pale greens and cool white. And match darker grey tones with warm tones such as burnt orange, mustard, and teal.
Light colors are more reflective than dark colors and they will make your kitchen appear bigger as well as more open and airy. Light blues, greens, or pale yellows are other great colors to make your space look larger than life.
Lucent Yellow is the perfect coordinating color to warm up Mindful Gray. Use it when you want a lighter softer feel in a room. For example this sunny color is ideal for a nursery, bedroom or even a dark or north facing kitchen.
Timeless and versatile gray kitchen cabinets are the go-to choice for many interior designers and homeowners. Available in many different tones, gray can read either warm or cold, making it easy to pair with a variety of backsplash designs, countertop materials, and appliance finishes.
Beige is emerging as the new go-to neutral, adding warm and inviting tones to interiors. In this article, we'll explore why beige is taking over and how to use it in your home. Beige is replacing gray as a popular interior color, offering warmth and versatility for various design styles.
For instance, pairing your gray cabinets with gray shades like light gray walls, crisp whites, light blue or soft neutrals can create an airy, open feel, while deeper hues like navy blue or charcoal gray walls can add depth and richness, complementing gray cabinets.
For a cohesive look, consider the undertones of your gray cabinets. If they have warm undertones, opt for countertops with warm hues like beige, cream, or gold. If your cabinets have cool undertones, choose countertops with cool hues such as white, gray, or black.
Cooler grays pair well with blues, purples, and teals, while warmer grays (think mushroom and putty) pair better with reds, oranges, and other warm shades. To keep things from looking flat, experiment with textures and tones—and don't be afraid to try multiple shades of gray.
Greige really is the best of both worlds. Whilst grey is the arguably the most popular neutral in interior design today, 'greige,' a combination of grey and beige, is being favoured more and more for its capacity to warm up an all-over grey design scheme.
STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES
Stainless steel continues to be a classic that never goes out of style. If you're adding color to your kitchen on the cabinets or walls, you may want to opt for this crisp, sleek and timeless finish on the appliances.
