35 Gray and White Kitchen Ideas for an Attainably Luxurious Look

White and gray are both timeless colors for kitchens, so why not mix them? Choose one color or two for cabinetry or accent with a bold countertop, backsplash, hood, or lighting.

Gray is a highly versatile color that can work in any home. A kitchen with light, cool gray walls will work great in a sleek, modern home, while warmer, dark gray walls can create a cozy and inviting feel. White, on the other hand, is another neutral that isn't going out of style anytime soon. It's crisp and timeless and, like gray, has the ability to both enliven and calm.

When choosing paint colors, accessories, and more in a gray and white kitchen, there are plenty of ways to make it work for you and your personal taste. Check out these 35 kitchen ideas to see how.
