Grey Kitchen Ideas
Grey kitchen ideas… Over the last few years we have seen the popularity of the use of grey within our homes growing.
Whether that be the use of grey paint, grey flooring, grey doors and windows and or course grey kitchens, grey is an extremely popular colour choice.
When considering kitchens, if you’re looking to create something sophisticated remember to mix your choice of materials across not only the cabinets, worktops and flooring but also the kitchen sink tap too.
The combination of different, tactile, materials adds interest to the room, bold or subtle, the choice is yours.
Simplistic grey cabinets deliver a thoroughly modern vibe whilst cool, satin white worktops perfectly accent the overall look and feel – if you’re feeling especially bold, why not consider a contrasting natural wood worktop or even a combination of worktops?

Embrace Industry
The industrial look is as popular as ever and what’s more, grey works perfectly if you are looking to achieve something special.
The reason for this is that the darker shades, such as Anthracite, are very similar in tone to the original architectural steel structures of old.
This contemporary look is further enhanced with the introduction of base materials such as brick, aged timbers and metal. Accessories with an “urban” feel are readily available with matching metal pendant lighting, island stools and or course Anthracite matt grey kitchen taps.
The combination of colour, textures and tones is sure to create a calming, yet industrial finish.

A Ray Of Sunshine
There is nothing better than waking up, pulling back your bedroom curtains and finding a bright, sunshiny day.
Brightly coloured glass splashbacks not only create an eye-catching effect but also bounce natural light around the room.
As you can see, yellow works particularly well, however colours such as aqua, lime and even orange can create an equally stunning effect. Couple any of these with a mirror-like polished chrome kitchen sink tap and you’re onto a winner.

Concrete & Crittal

Not sure about real concrete? No worries, there are lots of different vinyl and composite options available now that give an equally professional look.
Both black and dark grey “crittal style” door are also increasing in popularity with their minimalist frames and huge, light providing, glazing apertures being highly desired.
