There are those who accuse to the color gray of being a boring color and even a bit sad, but in its favor we will say that gray is also an elegant and very versatile color that, well applied in the decoration, results in neutral, calm and elegant environments.
These virtues are transferred to the kitchen if we choose a countertop, and if possible also a dashboard, in gray tones. And when we say gray, we don’t mean a flat, continuous gray. We refer to synthetic stones that imitate natural stones, which in this case refer to gray stones, with more or less veins or with a mixture of stones, as on the cover.
The trend is a bit like the taupe finish on kitchen cabinets. One way to do that the kitchen incorporates finishes similar to the colors of a living room or bedroom. Because, although white kitchens are still the most favorite, if it is about integrating an open or semi-open kitchen with the rest of the house, better bet on more neutral colors, such as gray.
The gray countertops are very well accompanied by wooden kitchen cabinets (the winning combination) but also, and thanks to its versatility, white, black, green furniture, etc., also go very well.
