Farmhouse kitchens are a staple in southern homes, but even though they’re a classic, they’re not the only option. If you want to choose a kitchen style that’s trendy, but with a little more of a modern motif, gray and white style might be just what you’re looking for. They’re neutral and make a statement, as well as being a popular style that’s emerging all over kitchens across the state.

Though kitchen trends come and go as quickly as the year changes, several style magazines have claimed gray kitchens as a trendy style over the years. If you’re looking for a kitchen makeover that is going to keep up with the times for several years into the future, this style is probably a great idea for your home. Believe it or not, gray kitchens have been popular throughout recent history.

Gray is versatile, and that’s part of what makes it desirable. It’s a neutral shade and it opens up a world of different substyles that you can achieve underneath the broader gray and white umbrella. For example, cabinets on the lighter spectrum with brass accents suggest a more old-fashioned look. Medium to dark gray cabinets with deep bronze accents ring true with modern style.

White matches everything, so even if you decide that your cabinets need to go a shade or two lighter or darker in tone, you won’t have to worry about them clashing in any way with the countertops you’ve already got installed.

The gray and white kitchen scheme is almost a basic setting for easy changes and upgrades. A simple switching out of cabinet handles can bring about a brand-new style to your kitchen, without requiring a big investment to cover a coat of paint or stains for your surfaces. Part of what has kept gray so popular is how easily it develops into different style combinations.

If you’re not fully decided on the kitchen motif you want, gray and white allows for experimentation. If this style seems like something you’d want in your kitchen, give it a shot and mix it up with different accents.
