If you’re worn out with the traditional white kitchen cabinet look, light grey is the new color trend on the kitchen cabinet scene.

For your typical modern kitchen style, white is the go-to look. But if you’re trying to stay ahead of the trend, light grey adds more of a modern flare to the average kitchen.

What makes light grey kitchen cabinets special?

Well, it may be the elegant and sleek look it presents in the home, or its ability to make a smaller kitchen layout seem larger than it truly is. Either way light grey kitchen cabinets are on our wish list and should be on yours as well! Here are 10 reasons we love light grey kitchen cabinets:

Its versatility allows for a cohesive, flowy modern kitchen look.

2. Easy Maintenance

Traditional white cabinets are loved for their classic clean and modern look. However, they’re also known for their high maintenance. It can be difficult to keep white kitchen cabinets clean, especially for kids. Light grey kitchen cabinets are family friendly and kitchen friendly. You won’t have to worry about repainting or staining them every few years like you would with other colors. It’s so much easier to clean grey cabinets and stains are harder to notice.
