Not sure about two tone cabinetry? Instead of painting upper and lower cabinets different colors, introduce a new color by painting the kitchen island grey instead! This modern white kitchen features a textured gray wood design on the island, with a matching painted pantry door and grey solid surface countertops to round out the grey and white kitchen color scheme.

Or, reverse the grey and white kitchen color scheme with grey wall cabinets and a white island. The white subway tile and countertops really make the light grey cabinetry and large metal pulls shine!

You can also paint just one section of cabinetry a different color, like this painted sink cabinet in the home we featured here. The grey cabinetry accents the modern farmhouse style of the white sink cabinet (with furniture-style feet!) which ties together the white subway tile backsplash and open kitchen shelving.

Another grey and white kitchen with subway tile — but this stacked herringbone pattern with tile to the ceiling makes it an accent wall instead of just a backsplash!

Okay, so this is black cabinetry on the island, but the it’s close to being a very dark grey 😉 and with the soapstone counters, grey stone backsplash and white cabinets opposite, this kitchen is a great example of how to create interest in a neutral kitchen with contrast and textures.

One way to make a big impact when painting cabinets is to also extend the cabinetry to the ceiling, like in the charcoal grey kitchen remodel featured here.

The unique ring pulls on these deep gray cabinets are stunning! The white countertops and light wall color help lighten up the space, too. To keep a dark gray kitchen from feeling heavy or dark, use a section of open shelving to visually break up the space. Of course, a large window like this to let in lots of natural light doesn’t hurt either. 😉
