Why choose a dark grey kitchen worktop?

Dark grey is a contemporary colour that comes with the reassurance that it will still hold its value in years to come. It’s extremely popular because it appeals to our love of neutrals whilst imparting drama and colour that’s wonderfully luxurious.

If you like black and other dark hues but find them too strong or adore neutral shades but desperately want to inject some colour and personality – dark grey is ideal. It adds warmth, glamour and style without being over the top. If you love colour you can add just about any shade to a space with a dark grey kitchen countertop.

On the other hand, if you prefer minimal, neutral colour schemes – dark grey is the perfect building block from which to layer on more light colours or tones of grey, metallics or natural materials.

Dark grey has a wonderful quality of giving you the flexibility to develop and play with the space in any way you choose with the security of knowing that the finished room will always look tasteful, refined and never overdone.

This is why dark grey is such a popular colour for kitchen worktops – it’s just the right mix of elegance with a slight edge. It’s a unique combination that’s ideal for personalising kitchen decor because a kitchen is a prime space where family and friends come to relax so it needs to be warm with a degree of understated style.
