These Kitchen Unit Doors Will Change How You Feel About The Colour Grey

Grey is a neutral tone that has become associated with rental properties and uninspiring interiors, but whether you’re adamant that you’re going to avoid grey entirely or you’re simply indifferent to it, we’re here today with a few reasons why we think you should give grey another chance. 

We understand why grey may not be seen as the most inspiring colour. In fact, when it’s not used well, it can make a room feel cold, flat and dreary. However, when it’s used correctly, grey can help to create a sense of peace and serenity, making it an ideal choice for a calming kitchen space.

Why Grey Kitchen Unit Doors Are the Perfect Choice for Your Home 

Grey can bring a sense of timelessness to your kitchen 

If you want to design a kitchen that feels truly timeless and will be something you’re certain to love long into the future, choosing grey kitchen unit doors can offer a very grounding base, which you can accessorise in countless different ways.

Many grey tones contain too much brown or blue, which can very easily make a room feel unwelcoming and cold. This is something we’ve worked hard to avoid, and our full range of kitchen doors come in a range of grey hues that will enhance your home. 

Pro Tip: Our classic Bella Shaker kitchen unit doors are available in several grey tones, including dove grey, mood grey, and dust grey.

Use grey to calm an otherwise colourful kitchen

If you love colourful interiors, incorporating flashes of grey can be a simple and effective way to ensure that your kitchen doesn’t feel visually overwhelming. Even small amounts of grey can give a sense of calm, which can actually enable other colours in your space to truly shine. 

Choosing grey base cabinets can give your kitchen a strong foundation and allow you to play with more colourful wall cabinets or introduce a bold kitchen island to really showcase your personal style.

Mix grey with green and wooden accents for a grounding atmosphere 

Kitchens often lead out onto outside spaces, and you can enhance this connection with nature by incorporating green tones and wooden accents, both of which pair beautifully with grey. 

Light grey kitchen unit doors are gentle and quietly grounding, which is a feeling you can amplify with the addition of a wooden kitchen island and open wooden shelving styled with flashes of green from house plants, cookbooks and ceramics.

Grey kitchen unit doors with a gloss finish feel fresh and modern

Grey isn’t just a colour that shines in kitchens with a traditional look and feel, as it can also be the star of the show in a more contemporary space. Slab style kitchen unit doors are perfectly suited to modern spaces, with the sleek silhouette of our Jayline Handleless doors proving to be consistently popular.

Pro Tip: If you’re looking for contemporary cabinet doors that will bring depth to your kitchen, our Zurfiz doors in metallic anthracite could be your perfect match.

Grey interacts with light in interesting and unexpected ways 

The appearance of many colours can be altered by the way in which they interact with natural light. However, grey is arguably one of the hues that can change the most depending on whether it’s in full sun or shade.

If you’re fortunate enough to have a kitchen that receives a lot of bright sunlight throughout the day, you may find that many grey tones read similarly to a pale blue, which can feel very refreshing and complement Scandinavian style decor.

Pro Tip: You can also incorporate grey tones in a kitchen space that doesn’t experience an abundance of natural light, however we recommend choosing a shade with green undertones which will ensure your space feels cosy, warm and inviting.
