Why Painting Your Kitchen Gray May Be A Huge Mistake
By MELISSA MAYNARD
Gray has been trendy this year as a paint color in general, and we've seen our fair share of gray kitchens. According to Gintaras Steponkus, the Marketing Manager at Solid Guides, you may want to avoid darker shades of gray and stick with light gray if you have a tiny or windowless kitchen.
He told Best Life that darker shades of gray could "stimulate depression, loss, or inhospitality," but that’s not to say that it can't work. Kitchn talked to several interior designers to get advice for a happier kitchen and how a gray and white combination could work in the right space.
"It's important to keep in mind how much natural light your space gets before deciding on paint colors,” Elizabeth Lawson of Elizabeth Lawson Design explained. She added, “White and a rich, dark gray are my favorite colors to use in a kitchen.”
