1. Grey Tiles
Match your kitchen cabinets with different shades of gray for a uniformed look. Matching similar tile colors on your walls to cabinets will help seamlessly blend the space. This monochrome design technique is especially used to create the illusion of a larger space in smaller kitchens. Grey paint, alongside with a slightly lighter shade of grey tiles, can give a traditional look more charm. For modern settings, opt for chevron tiles to add depth or install encaustic tiles for a unique look.

2. Exposed Brick
Embrace exposed brick without actually exposing the structure walls. Charcoal grey and warm brown is the perfect shade to achieve the industrial-style look. This design trend is easy to apply to your home with raw material like natural wood, exposed brick, and metal furnishing. To get the look, pair your warm grey cabinets with 3x12 Lave Stone Subway Tiles. The tile has a realistic texture and feels like natural stone which you can find on actual structuring walls. To complete the industrial look, add in your favorite urban-style accessories. Install metal lighting fixtures above your kitchen island and pair it with metal bar stools.

3. Trendy Agate and Large Slab Tiles
If you love bringing in natural elements into your home, this style makes the perfect combo. To give the kitchen visual interest, opt for large format agate tiles as your kitchen backsplash. This dramatic design yet soft hue is a popular look for modern designs. Adding warm-toned wood accents to soft grey cabinetry will help blend the hues. Make sure you look for a high gloss finish to help reflect light around the space. This will also help complement stainless steel accessories as well.

4. Marble Tiles
Give the kitchen a designer-look with marble wall tile. Pair your marble tiles with any grey hues to create a stylish and sophisticated look. The trick to this look is choosing the same greys found in your marble tiles. You can mix darker greys with cool tone grey, to blend harmoniously. To prevent your kitchen from looking too heavy, balance the look with grey-white shelving or plan white kitchen countertop. Give your scheme a light and airy feel by covering the entire wall from top to bottom. This will give your space a high-end and classic feel.

5. Dramatic Green
Gray is the most flexible color in the design world. When paired with beautiful greens, you can create a deep rich look or an eclectic cozy look. Introduce wooden wall cabinets and kitchen shelvings in the space for a less moody and more warmer feel. To complement the look, add your favorite greenery like succulents and fresh herbs. For a chic and eclectic feel, look for “forest” green tiles, and light grey shaker cabinets. Combine concrete and oyster shell countertop for a distinctive look to your kitchen.
