Grey Kitchens Are a Growing Trend!

White kitchens have long been a favourite in Australian homes, but a new trend is making waves—grey kitchens. This shift is highlighted by the 2022/2023 Australia Kitchen Trends Study from Houzz, which shows a steady rise in the popularity of grey for kitchen renovations. While white remains the go-to choice, an increasing number of homeowners are turning to grey for its stylish, modern look that adds depth and elegance to any kitchen space.

At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we’ve seen this trend firsthand as more customers seek out grey kitchen cabinets, benchtops, and accessories to elevate their homes. Grey kitchens offer a versatile, contemporary appeal, pairing well with various finishes and colour schemes.

If you’re considering a kitchen update, why not make it on-trend with a grey palette? Read on as we explore some of our top grey-themed products to help you create the kitchen of your dreams.

Grey Kitchen Benchtops

Houzz reports that 16% of homeowners who upgraded their benchtops last year chose grey benchtops. Benchtops occupy a lot of space in any kitchen. If you’re looking to build a monotone grey kitchen, a grey benchtop is a must.

At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we offer a huge range of stone and laminate benchtops for you to choose from. For a light grey benchtop, Quarzite and Silver Nube benchtops make for fantastic choices. If you’re looking for a grey benchtop without too many patterns, Cemento is a popular choice.

Grey Floor Tiles

While grey flooring is not the most popular colour choice for kitchens, 13% of renovators chose grey last year. To create a seamless, monotone grey kitchen, grey floor tiles, such as those we offer here at Ross’s Discount Home Centre, are a must-have.

For floor tiles that mimic the look of grey concrete, you’ll find nothing better than the Timeless Silver Matte 600x600mm porcelain tile. If you’re looking for a lighter shade of grey with a sophisticated design, the Paradigm Light Grey Matte Unrectified 300x300mm is a perfect choice. And, if you’re after a minimalist grey tile, consider the Chic Stone Grey 300x300mm ceramic tile, which mimics the look of graphite. Any of these grey tiles are perfect for use in your kitchen.

Grey Splashbacks

Splashbacks are a feature of any kitchen. So, given the current grey trend, it should come as no surprise that 12% of homeowners who renovated their kitchens last year chose grey splashbacks.

Here, at Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we offer a range of grey wall tiles ideal for splashbacks. To go bold, check out our Brickbold Gris feature tile, which comes in a design of varying greys. Alternatively, our Tundra Grey tile comes in a gorgeous marble design. For a calmer and more modern design, choose our Finger Mosaic Speckle Light Grey feature tile. These tiles are all ideal for creating grey kitchen splashbacks.

Grey Kitchen Cabinets

While 6% of kitchen renovators upgraded to grey cabinets last year, white still remains the colour of choice when it comes to cabinets. White cabinets actually do very well to complement a grey kitchen.

At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we do not stock any grey kitchen cabinets. However, those of you who are looking to break up your grey with some white, check out our range of preassembled cabinets. Our preassembled kitchen cabinets come in a white high gloss finish, and they will do well to blend in with grey kitchens.

Kitchen Appliances

Grey is not a colour that is usually associated with appliances. However, over time, stainless steel appliances have grown in popularity. Stainless steel appliances are perfect for use in a grey kitchen. In fact, Houzz reports that stainless steel is the colour of choice for kitchen appliances by far. 61% of renovators upgraded to stainless steel kitchen appliances last year.

For the best quality stainless steel kitchen appliances in Perth, look no further than us at Ross’s Discount Home Centre. Take a look at our 60cm Freestanding 4-Cycle Dishwasher and our 60cm Fan Forced Oven. These appliances all come in an elegant stainless-steel finish, and they are ideal for use in grey kitchens.

Conclusion

Is grey the new colour of choice for kitchens? Houzz’s recent kitchen trends study suggests it might be. While white remains popular, grey has secured its place as the second most favoured colour in kitchens across Australia. Many renovators are now opting for grey benchtops, cabinets, splashbacks, floors, and even appliances to achieve a sleek, modern look.
