Light Gray Cabinets

A key to remember about designing kitchens is that contrast is key. Choosing a light-colored cabinet allows you to showcase dark floors or accentuated backsplash to tie the room together. Check out our Castle Gray Shaker and our Lancaster Stone Shaker to see some examples of what a light gray kitchen can do for you.

Lancaster Stone

Beige? Think again! Often called greige; Lancaster Stone is a unique gray that can be used in a kitchen with a big personality. This color will fit perfectly into a southwestern kitchen that makes use of tile walls or countertops.

Castle Grey Shaker

Almost cream, certainly gray. A relaxing, subtle color choice that can be easily matched with almost any combination of flooring, walls, and appliances. Here we see that they chose dark appliances and light backsplash and flooring. This kitchen feels balanced even though they have chosen mostly light colors.

Dark Gray Cabinets

Styling with dark gray cabinets is the opposite of light gray cabinet styling. To increase contrast, other colors present in the room should be lighter. Dark gray cabinets are great in rooms with a fair amount of natural light. Get inspired and have a look at our Cinder Shaker, Lancaster Dark Gray, Newcastle Charcoal, Lancaster Charcoal, and Gray Shaker cabinets.

Newcastle Charcoal

A rich, dark, recessed panel cabinet that is well suited for modern kitchens. They are so dark, that they are on the verge of being considered black cabinets. These cabinets look great in kitchens with lots of contrast and color.

Cinder Shaker

Texture elevates these cabinets to a new level. Unlike your average painted cabinet, the Cinder Shaker features uneven patterns that provide depth and character. The Cinder shaker is wonderfully accompanied by light-colored walls and countertops with minimal texture.

Grey Shaker

The grayest of grays, the classic. Demonstrated by the backsplash and the flooring, we see that the gray shakers contrast greatly with both light and dark tones. This is because it sits right in the middle of the gray color spectrum.
