The Beauty of Gray Kitchens

Our new favorite neutral for kitchen design? Gray. There are dozens of reasons we love gray kitchens. Grey feels both of-the-moment and timeless all at once. It makes a perfect backdrop for literally any hardware. It's a neutral, but feels bold. And because there are way more than 50 shades of gray, including the perfect one for your home.

But, you don't need to take our word for it. We'll let these gorgeous gray kitchens in all shades and styles do the talking.

A cool, medium shade of gray is perfect for spaces that skew slightly industrial, like the one below.

 For a more subtle effect, try a pale cloud gray. Here, it almost seems to flow into the white subway tile backsplash via the gray-veined marble countertops.
