1. Light or Dark

The perfect tone for your gray kitchen cabinets depends on your personal preference. It also has a bit to do with your kitchen’s characteristics. If your space is small or has limited natural light, avoid dark gray cabinets, because it could make it feel even smaller and darker. While light shades reflect light back into the room and make it brighter, deep colors absorb it. So, go for light gray cabinets in small spaces, and use dark gray shades to ground a larger room. Nelson Cabinetry offers you a collection of perfectly toned gray Shaker kitchen cabinets that will fit into your new kitchen whether it’s a smaller or larger space.

2. Warm Colors

If you want to avoid having a kitchen with cool tones, spice up your gray cabinets with warm colors and materials. Most people avoid using this tone because they want their kitchen to feel warm and seem welcoming. Wood and bold accent colors like yellow are great for balancing out cool tones.  Mix and match, and take time to play around with different colors and materials. Create your own perfect gray-based kitchen. One thing is for sure—you can almost never go wrong when it comes to designing what matches your preferences the most.

3. A mix of rustic and modern

If you are still concerned that a gray kitchen might look a little bit dull, a farmhouse style is a perfect way to steer clear of the mundane. Gray cabinets work very well with farmhouse style. You can add features such as rustic wood floating shelves. A farmhouse sink cabinet and classic white tile also add some farmhouse vibes. What is good about the farmhouse style is that you can do all the cabinets gray, with all the farmhouse touches complemented perfectly by a beautiful gray.
