Explore these accent colours for your kitchen if you're trying to spice things up a touch in the culinary space.
A kitchen decorated in shades of grey is hard to surpass. This neutral colour is often a top pick for kitchen cabinet paint because of how well it complements other colours and how bright it makes the room feel.
What we love most about grey kitchen cabinets at Matthew James Kitchens is that they serve as a blank canvas that can be amped up up to reflect the individuality of the homeowner.
It could appear at first that the kitchen’s overall aesthetic is determined simply by the colour of its cabinets. These are, of course, crucial features, but the piece’s accent hues are what really tie the whole thing together.
An accent colour is what.... exactly?
A kitchen that is finished up with colourful accents. Your accent colours will have an effect on the room’s aesthetic whether you employ a small amount or a substantial one.
Both competing and complimentary accent colours work well for a kitchen space. Hardware, appliances, accessories, and more in the kitchen can benefit from these hues.
It is important to remember that the main function of your accent colour in your kitchen will be to draw attention to the dominant colour. When designing a kitchen, a wonderful accent colour may provide personality and depth.
Which accent colours go well with a grey kitchen?
The versatility of neutral colours allows for endless colour combinations. Here are a few of our favourite complementary hues to use in a kitchen.
Pink
Pink is a cheerful and fun colour that works well in a variety of ways in the home’s culinary space. It can be mellowed and brought into harmony with subdued wood tones, mixed with blues or greys for an industrial look, or paired with contrasting, colourful colours for a lively, dynamic design.
wooden elements that instantly warm a space
Wood is one of our clients’ favourite colour accents for grey kitchens. Wood-effect finishes are a stunning addition to a cool-colored kitchen, adding a sense of natural warmth and vitality.
The use of wood in kitchens is nothing new; in fact, it is typically utilised to make the most elegant kitchens. Wood, and not just painted wooden cabinets, is becoming increasingly popular as a design element in today’s kitchens.
Oak breakfast bars and design details in oak, ash, maple, and walnut are just a few examples of the many types of wood that are showing up in today’s kitchens.

Bold blues
Blue kitchens can range from light cobalt to dark navy, making them suitable for a wide variety of decorating schemes.
Contrast a traditional navy kitchen with wood and copper accents with a robin egg blue kitchen with brilliant white walls and gold hardware for a completely different vibe. Even though it isn’t a neutral colour, it’s easy to make it work with your existing aesthetic.
Metallic Features
Although they are relatively new, metallic coatings have quickly become a popular choice for kitchens.
Metallic touches are a way to add a dazzling, sophisticated touch to your grey kitchen.
Adding even a few metallic details to your kitchen will make a big difference. If you’re choosing a handleless kitchen, metallic handlerails will allow you to tastefully add metallic details into your design without going all out.
