Gray & White kitchen advice
I'm looking for ideas to soften our gray and white kitchen a bit. Changing the floors to darker wood is not an option, but what elements can I bring in? Possibly wood stools or change lighting, etc? Or, what can I do different?

White Kitchen with grey or white quartz?
Comments (4)I've been looking at quarts countertops and really like the swirl patterns that Caeserstone has. London Fog is really pretty. My cabinets are a light wood color, so I think it might be too light for mine (I'm thinking of Dreamy Marfil). I went down to the Caeserstone distribution center today and saw a large slab of both. The London Fog is stunning and would look great with white cabinets....See MoreWhite or Gray Kitchen Cabinets?
Comments (11)Your kitchen is STUNNING! As was said above, gray is a hot trend right now...do you follow trends? I always tell people "if you're keeping your home and you want purple cabinets, get purple cabinets" a color is a commitment, and if you plan to sell in the next couple of years, the next buyer may not like. Grays a also tricky. Some pull blue, some brown, some taupe, some yellow, some green. It may be tough to match in the future so be careful if you go gray....See MoreWhite or gray kitchen cabinets
Comments (23)with the pics u posted, its hard to see the exact color of the floor, one pic it looks like it has gray in it and another it looks like it has pink undertones. with that said, i would go with a taupe/warm gray color. i think that would look great with the granite. you can do the bottom the warm gray color and a warm white on top if u want.... i would definitely paint the walls . that color would depend on what u paint u cabs... i don't think that green looks good with the granite. if u paint any more cabs with sample paint, try painting a door on the bottom near the floor to get a good idea how it will look with the floor. you can always pull a color out of the granite for your cabs, they can use your sample to color match it at the paint store......See MoreGrey kitchen or grey and white?
Comments (8)I don't like the different colored upper/lower look in many kitchen, but I do think two toned would look good in your kitchen if you did the tall cabinets and fridge in white (or very light grey), the island and lowers in a darker grey or maybe blue/grey. Alternatively, I think varying just the island would work well too. Of course, you can always due everything the same too, in which case I'd look at a blue/grey or light grey. I did my kitchen with a very light grey perimeter (it was initially intended to be SW repose grey but turned out a bit lighter when color matched to the conversion varnish) and a stained grey island and tall cabinet/appliance wall. Happy with how it turned out.

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoDo you have a wood floor in adjacent area that is warm toned? As @chispa notes, a warmer paint color might help. But it looks like you have this grey on walls throughout?
Just looking at these pics, I would say, yes -some wood on barstools.
Maybe a runner or two.

I hope you love those wood and white stools. I think they are going to look fantastic in your space! :)

Maybe different light fixtures with a basket shade. Maybe those shelves could be bigger.gold always warms a space.
