Grey is the neutral with more to say than white. Light greys feel airy, mid greys feel grounded and dark greys feel dramatic.
Grey cabinets
A grey for every kind of room
Grey cabinets suit a wide range of homes. A light grey is a gentle alternative to white. A mid grey is forgiving and works with almost any worktop. A dark grey gives a modern kitchen presence.
Greys can lean warm, towards stone and taupe, or cool, towards blue and steel. We help you test a few against your floor, walls and daylight before you choose.

Good to know
Things worth checking before you decide.
Greys change with the light
A grey can look blue, brown or green depending on daylight. Test samples in your own room.

Questions
Grey cabinets: common questions.
Something not covered here? Ask the studio and we will help.
What colour worktop goes with grey cabinets?
White or pale stone gives contrast, a grey-veined stone gives a tonal look and timber adds warmth. We can lay samples side by side.
Are grey kitchens still popular?
Yes, especially when warmed with wood, brass or texture. We design to suit your home rather than follow a trend.
Should I choose light or dark grey?
Light greys suit smaller or darker rooms. Darker greys suit larger, bright rooms. Test samples in your own light first.
Can I have grey cabinets in a wardrobe or utility room?
Yes. We make grey cabinetry for wardrobes, utility rooms and media walls as well as kitchens.
