Looking for the best light grey kitchen ideas? We’ve compiled a list of the best options for your next kitchen remodel.
The Light Grey Kitchen Design
Light grey is a lovely, neutral color—if you allow the words lovely and neutral in the same sentence. The right shade of grey can provide a calming space, especially in the kitchen, which usually has a lot going on, function-wise and decor-wise.
Grey is a timeless classic color, but sometimes, that can also translate to lifeless. You can easily counter the drabness by using a variety of accents, textures, and finishes. That’s where your design flair can come in handy.
Bring in accents to contrast with the grey, usually on a featured wall, the island, or the fabric on your curtains. Use organic elements like wood, metals, and tiles to create texture.
Consider the kind of finish you would use on your light fixtures and hardware to add sparkle to your kitchen.
Light Grey Kitchen Design Ideas For Your Next Home Remodel
If you love the soothing seduction of light grey, we have several examples of kitchens in various shades of grey, from the palest whisper of feather gray to the raw charms of concrete gray.
1. Pretty in Pink
Pink Walls and Light Grey Cabinets
The shades of pink in this grey kitchen only enhance the light grey by making it more approachable. The pop of pink brightens the space while retaining the soothing effect of the grey walls.
2. Add some Bling
This palest pale grey kitchen still wows, thanks to the gorgeous additions of jewel-like lamp fixtures, glossy chrome finishes on the island and bar stools, and all the sparkling glass fronts. Altogether, it has a stunning effect.
3. Set The Tone
We start off with a straightforward pale grey on the cabinets, with sleek lines and simple hardware. There are no jarring reds or blues to distract the eye. If anything, there’s even more light grey – on the walls, in the wash of the hardwood floor, and the veins of the marble countertop, creating a soft, welcoming effect overall.
4. Glam it Up
A basic gray kitchen that’s anything but boring. Even in the small space, the glam factor has been amped up considerably using bright finishes like chrome and steel, lots of greenery, and plenty of light. Using several shades of grey works well in this space.
5. Bring in Texture
This is a perfect example of taking a light grey kitchen and piling on textures to make it interesting and appealing without losing its sophistication. The pale gray bamboo wall has layers of added texture, as do the almost white-gray backsplash tiles, the larger veined tiles in the flooring, and the darker floor-length curtains. All of these make it a study in light grey.
6. Make it Sparkle
Tone-on-tone combinations would make it monotonous, right? But somehow, this kitchen transcends the tone by adding sparkle. From the clear glass pendant lights to the large expanses of glossy grey marble to the stainless steel appliances, everything flows really well, except with an added sparkle and shine.
