Create your perfect grey kitchen

Use patterned tiles

To add some visual interest and texture to your kitchen design, consider using patterned tiles in combination with light grey kitchen units.

Tiles with geometric patterns, intricate designs, or bold motifs can create a focal point in your kitchen and add personality to your space.

Why not try patterned tiles for your splashback, flooring, or even for an accent wall? Patterned tiles and light grey together create a unique and eye-catching colour combination that can make a statement in your kitchen.

Team light grey with yellow

For a cheerful and sunny look, consider pairing light grey kitchen units with vibrant yellow accents. Yellow adds a pop of colour and energy to a light grey kitchen, creating a dynamic and inviting design.

You can use yellow in various ways, such as yellow splashback tiles, yellow bar stools, or yellow accessories like dishware or pendant lights.

Yellow and light grey together create a playful and modern colour combination that is trendy yet timeless.

What colour goes with dove grey kitchen units?

Dove grey is a classic and sophisticated colour choice that can create a sleek and modern look in your kitchen. But what colour goes with our Dove Grey kitchen units to create a harmonious and stylish space?

Dove grey and white

One of the most popular and timeless colour choices to pair with dove grey kitchen units is crisp white. White creates a clean and fresh contrast against the softness of the grey, and it can make your kitchen feel bright and open.

You could consider using white as the primary colour for your walls, splashback, and worktops, or incorporate white through accessories such as white dishware, white bar stools, or white pendant lights.

The combination of dove grey and crisp white can create a sophisticated and timeless look that will never go out of style.

Dove grey and pastels

Another great option to complement dove grey kitchen units is to incorporate soft pastel colours. Soft pastels such as pale pink, mint green, or light blue can add a delicate and charming touch to your kitchen.

You can use these colours for your walls, splashback, or even in your kitchen accessories and décor. Soft pastels can create a sense of warmth and cosiness in your kitchen, making it a welcoming space for family and friends.
