White and grey kitchen designs can be anything from modern to traditional and fit into any home interior design. It is an easy color scheme to incorporate seamlessly into various kitchen parts, from the kitchen island to the cabinets.
One advantage of a grey kitchen versus a black-and-white kitchen is that grey goes much better with natural wood, and the white will complement the grey more than the black, which is a heavy contrast.
An all-white kitchen may be timeless, but blending white and grey will create a sophisticated and elegant look no matter the style.
Grey and White Kitchen Ideas For Your Inspiration
If you’re searching for inspiration, you have come to the right place! We’ve compiled several designs to showcase the different ways to incorporate grey into your home kitchen.
We found both modern and antique kitchens and a variety of room sizes. A grey-and-white kitchen can work for anyone, and we hope you find some great ideas here!
1. Shades of Grey-White
Grey is not usually a color found in traditional-style kitchens, but this design proves that it can work. In this style, the subway tile backsplash looks more like exposed and painted brick when set against the traditional grey cabinets. The marble countertops complement the gray-dominated room and perfectly reflect the soft hue of the pendant lights, which is essential without a direct source of natural light.
2. Super Subtle
It can be risky to choose a grey room and kitchen cabinets in a small space without a kitchen island. However, this room shows that it can still work. The key is not to go for a dark grey but instead favor a lighter shade that softens further in natural light.
There is great reflectiveness in the white tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances (but notice the dishwasher is disguised with the same paneling as the cabinets. And like any small kitchen, it’s best to keep as much as possible off the counter and store it away so you can utilize all the counter space.
3. Tiled Wall
This kitchen is crisp, clean, and bright. With ample storage below the white counters, there was no need to top cabinets, which is a perfect way to open up a kitchen. The natural light plays wonderfully with the natural light coming through the right wall window, creating an ombre effect on the light grey lower cabinets.
Where a backsplash isn’t needed, it can be tempting to leave a wall bare, but this design shows the advantages of tiling the back wall either way. Lastly, the gold faucet is an unlikely pairing with a white and grey kitchen, but it is a great pop of color and adds some dimension to the room.
4. Mixed Cabinet Colors
This unique and fun kitchen has white cabinets but a marble counter and backsplash. Modern kitchen designs are rigid and simple, but this is anything but. The pendant lights help draw the eye upward, emphasizing the high ceilings and large room size.
We love this design because it is modern but not boring. You wouldn’t initially think the marble pattern would complement the muted shades, but everything set against the white all comes together perfectly.
The grey drawers in the kitchen island add a nice contrast and help bring out the grey on the marble counter. The room is minimal, but the kitchen design elements make the whole room pop.
