Bold, dramatic and modern, all because of the blue grey cabinets and island in this stunning kitchen. The big splashes of white on the ceiling and the countertops bring in an effect of a pin striped suit. At the same time, the rough texture on the brick walls and the warm wood dining table offer an approachable contrast to this modern space.

This wall to wall grey kitchen provides plenty of storage with recessed cabinets that go all the way up to the ceiling on two walls, and more storage in the island.

This is an all-red kitchen, with the cabinets and the shelves and the island all painted a dark cranberry color, while the grey is the accent color, in the stone walls and weathered beams. It works because it’s a large space, paired with bold rustic elements.

We start off with a straightforward pale grey on the cabinets, with sleek lines and simple hardware. There’s no jarring reds or blues to distract the eye. If anything, there’s even more light grey – on the walls, in the wash of the hardwood floor, and in the veins of the marble countertop, creating a soft welcoming effect overall.

This is a perfect example of taking a light grey kitchen and piling on textures to make interesting, appealing, but still losing none of its sophistication.

All added up makes it a study in light grey.

Tone on tone on tone would make it monotonal right? But somehow this kitchen transcends the tone by adding sparkle.

This kitchen has so many strong accents that it cannot recede into the background as a grey kitchen.

There are many lines in this one space – the horizontal lines in the glass on the door, the lines of the open shelves, the narrow lines on the paneling, and the long lines in the flooring. And then there are the cantilevered lights that add more lines. However they’re all held together because of the shades of grays used here.

It’s not only the dark grey that adds drama to a space, so can a pale grey, when it’s used to its advantage. Here, the stunning accents take all the credit for amping up the glam factor. The filigreed bar stools, the candle like hanging lights and the silver art pieces come together to create drama.

The entire ceiling is painted black, including the supporting beams, and yet what you see is not the black but the grand chandelier taking center stage.

Even the exterior walls are painted black in this beautiful house in the country, but it only acts as a foil for the large plate glass windows looking out into nature.
