Greenwich Super Matt Graphite Main 2_RT1

1. Soften with super matt

Opting for a super-matt finish tones down reflections and glare to keep the focus on bold colours, such as graphite. The soft texture also has a luxurious feel which, when paired with darker hues and warm metallic accents, is an easy way to create a refined design.

2. Add shine to dark designs

When there is little room to work with, choose glossy grey cupboards. They are pale enough to brighten up an area, and will reflect light for a more open feel. Add drama with matt-black, metal trims, which will create horizontal lines that draw the eye.

3. Work in woodgrain

Grained patterns are timeless, and offer a tactile choice for those who like texture. Give this look a modern edge by opting for grain-effect cupboards in a light-grey shade. The pale tone will highlight the wood-like finish for a premium look.

4. Shake up a classic

Go for a contemporary twist on timeless shaker style by picking a slate-grey shade for your cupboards. The blue-grey tone accentuates the framed door, whilst adding depth to a room. It can also draw a room in, making it a great large grey kitchen idea for those who have space to play with.

5. Build in texture

Concrete finishes are on-trend, and are a welcome feature for those who want to add visual interest to a design. Our concrete-effect cupboards replicate this pattern in a simple, slab door and can be used as an urban accent in a neutral theme, or for an engineered look in an all-grey scheme.

7. Make a feature of metalwork

A core colour in engineered work spaces, grey cupboards are a natural choice for schemes inspired by factories and warehouses. Pale-grey doors will let other design features, like bespoke metalwork, take centre stage. The glossy finish will also soften industrialised textures for a less intense look.

8. Find the middle ground

With a wide border, bevelled edge, and smooth finish, our grey Chelford cupboards offer the best of both classic and contemporary styles. Pair this design with premium materials, like solid timber and natural stone, for a heritage-inspired interior.

9. Upgrade to grey timber

Timber introduces a premium look to any space, so use our Tewkesbury cupboards – which have a solid ash frame – for a high-end design. Try choosing a lighter shade of dove-grey, which will create a spacious feel and pairs well with wood tones.

10. Introduce dark drama

Dip into the trend for dark designs by choosing charcoal-grey cupboards. Great for making a statement, this shade works well with simple slab styles, like our Greenwich Super Matt cupboards, to provide an uninterrupted swathe of colour.
