Light Grey Kitchen Cabinets

Grey Shaker Kitchen Cabinets

The light grey kitchen cabinets are a go-to when it comes to modern design. The grey tones in this shaker-style kitchen go well with the white walls and dark granite countertops. The hardwood floor brings the whole design together nicely.

Classic Lunar Grey Kitchen Cabinets

3/21

The color of these kitchen cabinets is lunar grey, and it works so well with brass hardware. The overall classic look of the design is achieved with light quartz countertops and backsplashes. Even though the dominant color theme is off-white in this design, the natural wood floor makes an outstanding contrasting element that brings the place together.

The brass hardware (that includes the kitchen faucet) makes a luxurious accent. As such, to maintain the look, it needs special care. Because brass is prone to corrosion from hard water, the idea is to use the best water softeners and prevent mineral build-up on the faucet and sink in the first place.
