The main advantage of gray cabinets from a design point of view is flexibility. It’s hard to go wrong with a reliable neutral like gray. This opens up a range of styling opportunities in other elements of your kitchen.
Many more countertop options
Quartz, granite, and marble countertops are popular choices for contemporary kitchen areas due to their uniqueness, texture, and depth. Gray cabinets enhance all three options by not competing with the natural colors and textures of these stones.
Manufactured quartz countertops can be customized with pigments and glitter to make stunning kitchen centerpieces. Gray cabinets integrate the stunning, silver tones inherent in quartz.
Granite differs by slab, and some are very vibrant and highly textured which can be a challenge to match kitchen cabinets. Gray cabinets pair with even one of the more elaborate, vivid, and visually complex granite options.
Gray kitchen cabinets are perfect for kitchen areas with opulent marble countertops. The gray coordinates very well with the veins and texture of the marble without diminishing its importance.
High durability and resilience
Gray cabinets hold up well to the daily wear and tear of a busy kitchen. Here are some of its noticeable benefits in durability over other cabinet options:
The painted color is more consistent than natural wood, making it less of a hassle to repair scratches and discoloration.
A total makeover of gray kitchen cabinets just requires a fresh coat of paint.
Paint provides a slightly thicker layer of security for the underlying wood than stain.
Gray paint will not show defects as well as bright white or more attractive paint color.
A match for any other element
It can be difficult to match kitchen cabinets with special features like a gorgeous wood table or ultra-modern appliances. Gray cabinets won’t find any of the basics in your kitchen and are a simple go-to for everything.
