Grey Marble Worktops

Which colours go best with a grey marble worktop?

A grey marble worktop ensures a touch of luxury and refinement in your kitchen. However, while it effortlessly improves the space, it also requires detailed consideration of complementary colours for the remaining kitchen elements.

Grey, a gentle and exquisite neutral colour, simplifies the incorporation of vibrant shades into your kitchen look effortlessly. From neutrals like the Simply Quartz Alaska Grey to pastels such as the Cloudy Concrete Polished, with a grey marble worktop you have lots of options about how you use colour. Let’s take an in-depth look at which colours go best with a grey marble worktop and how to use them in your kitchen to stunning effect.

Which type of grey marble worktop is best?

A grey quartz marble worktop far outshines a grey marble worktop in terms of both practicality and style for your kitchen and is perfect for the busy kitchen environment.  In fact, alongside granite worktops, quartz worktops are the best type of worktop you can choose for your kitchen. 

Opting for a marble effect quartz worktop ensures you don’t compromise on style while embracing practicality. The appearance of a quartz marble effect worktop mirrors that of a genuine marble worktop, maintaining the same elegant aesthetic.

Indeed, the spectacular veining and grey finish of a marble quartz worktop is preferred by most customers because when it comes to coloured countertops, quartz is superior. Unless you were a marble specialist you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the two.

Unlike a grey marble worktop, a grey quartz marble effect worktop won’t get damaged easily

Grey Quartz Worktops with Marble Effect 

Quartz worktops are extremely hard wearing and robust, offering high resistance against scratches, heat, and spills. In contrast, marble, being a natural stone, tends to absorb liquids and is susceptible to damage from impacts and scratches. Consequently, maintaining a marble worktop requires annual treatments to lessen potential harm resulting from daily cooking and cleaning activities.

As beautiful as it looks, a marble countertop won’t seem so attractive when you’re faced with a kitchen worktop that’s easily damaged by cleaning products, dropped crockery, hot pans, sharp knives and acidic or alkaline foods like lemon or vinegar.

For the best value kitchen worktop that will last, look for a grey quartz marble worktop that’s built for the kitchen environment. For clarification, a grey quartz marble worktop and a grey marble effect worktop are the same thing.

Which colours go best with a grey marble worktop?

Pastels: Pastels work particularly well when used to highlight certain features within the kitchen, such as cabinets, chairs or a wall. From light baby pinks to spearmint greens, sky blues, lemons and just-there lilacs, when paired with a grey worktop the look is stylish yet relaxed and playful.

Mid-brown woods, splashes of white plus copper, gold or silver fittings can all be used to finish this luxe, fresh, contemporary style. With lots of colour present, your grey marble kitchen worktop will be the anchor that pulls the whole look together.

Tonal grey: Layering on more tones of grey throughout the kitchen doesn’t have to be reserved for those who have larger rooms. A space with layers of grey will draw your eye inwards meaning it can help to make your kitchen feel bigger.

Using a darker grey on the bottom cabinets and a slightly lighter grey on the top ones looks particularly effective in tonal grey kitchens and helps to keep the look light.

To give the look a high-end finish, consider fronting appliances such as a fridge freezer with shiny metal-like stainless or a richly coloured wood. Woods and metals are key to this look and don’t be afraid to use pops of black, charcoal or white.

Mid brown woods, brass and copper will enhance the luxe feel of the space whilst lighter woods will soften the overall look. For a playful touch, you could even add a little pop of colour, such as yellow or turquoise via a furnishing like seating or the splashback.

If you don’t want to go all the way, pair the grey marble countertop with a tonal variation on the cupboards then use white on the walls.

Brights: For vibrant colour, you have a huge choice for what to put with grey. The closest colour match is found in yellow and blue. Bright yellows and blues look especially good against dark grey but really the choice is yours. If you want something different, bold pink or green are great options if you want to make a vivid statement.

White: Don’t underestimate how well white goes with grey and that’s the same whether you choose to use light or dark grey in your kitchen.

For this look, if you have the lower cabinets in a slightly darker grey to the grey marble countertop then layer on whites and even creams for the rest of the space, you’ll have a beautiful, clean, bright and relaxing space.

It takes the best of an-all grey and all-white kitchen to create a look that’s balanced, fresh and sophisticated. Again, warm woods and metals will complete the look. 

You can also think about using tiny pops of dark brown or black at intervals throughout the space for things like fittings and storage.
