Finally, I’m ready to start sharing pics and progress on our #ZonaAve project! If you have no clue what I’m talking about, check out my “Home” tab under my Instagram stories.
We’re currently renovating another home, and when I say renovating I mean completely gutted and re-done. Instead of flipping it, the intention is to turn it into a vacation rental.
For the kitchen, I knew I didn’t want to do all-white again. For whatever reason, I’m a little tired of it (even though my personal kitchen is white). And, although it’s classic I really wanted something fresh. Enter, beautiful grey and gold kitchen inspo.
UPDATE: CHECK OUT THE FULL KITCHEN REVEAL HERE
To be honest, I was really torn as to whether to go with grey or blue. I am LOVING some beautiful blue kitchens lately! But choosing the color of your kitchen cabinets isn’t just about what you love, it has to work with the house, too. Ultimately, I decided that there may not be enough natural light in the kitchen to go the blue route. While it’s beautiful, I wanted the space to feel open, and a darker color in a smaller space–without nice natural lighting–can make a space feel more enclosed.
So I hunted down plenty of grey and gold kitchen inspo! These are some of my ultimate favorites that I used as starting points for our kitchen renovation.
Here is a sneak peek of our kitchen progress:
I ultimately ended up doing a custom blend for our kitchen cabinets that’s sort of a grey-blue. It looks a little blue in some light and a little grey from other angles, which is exactly what I wanted!
I also went with these gold pulls, which are pretty standard but quite beautiful. And for the backsplash we did the long white subway tile laid out in a herringbone pattern.
One of the things that made me oh-so-happy is the plumbing fixtures. I know, perhaps a weird thing to be excited about but they’re so pretty!! I found this gorgeous chrome faucet and pot filler.
I’m so happy with how our grey and gold kitchen turned out and will be sharing soon! We don’t have final photos yet–the built-in banquette is still in the works–but you can see more and more of our progress on my Instagram!
What do you think of a grey and gold kitchen?

Beautiful kitchen, how long are the gold hardware on the cabinets
Hi. I love the color of the cabinets! You said it was 50% SW Uncertain grey and Benjamin Moore Stardew. I can only find Stardew as a Sherwin Williams color. Please confirm. Thanks!!
Hi! Yes, typo on my part thank you for pointing it out. I do recommend getting a few swatches and seeing it in your home first before comitting to any color.
Hi, beautiful…all of the design..beautiful!
Where us the L shaped bench around the table from?
Thanks, Adrianna
Hi Adrianna,
Thank you! We had this bench custom-made.
Gorgeous! What is your wall paint color? I’m having a difficult time deciding on the perfect coordinating wall color with gray cabinets, other than white.
It’s white.
Oh okay, they just didn’t look white against the white curtains and lower white wainscoting walls.
Thank you for your response.
Gotcha. if you mean that photo that kitchen isn’t mine, it’s one of the images that inspired my kitchen, it should be linked. My kitchen is the majority of photos toward the bottom featuring the white herringbone subway tile. Hope that helps!
I’m installing a similar herringbone pattern. What brand/color grout did you use? Looks great!
I don’t remember but if you aren’t sure have your installer do a few colors, let it dry and then choose.
I LOVE this kitchen and am using it for inspiration in my little kitchen in my townhouse. I have a soffit that, for budget reasons, I can’t get rid of. My kitchen is not an open layout and I am afraid if I do a grey kitchen, it will be too dark and make the room feel small. What do you think about two tone kitchens with a grey shaker on the bottom and white shaker on top? Also, did you paint the cabinets yourself?? That color is GORGEOUS and I wonder if I’m daring enough to buy brand new cabinets and risk destroying them with a bad DIY paint job.
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for the comment! I think two-tone kitchens are lovely. Lighter floors, natural light/bright lighting and white paint can also help your kitchen appear bigger. I did not paint these myself; these are brand new cabinets painted by a professional.
Hi did you just mix the two colours together? Im looking to build a home with 2 large panels of 13 ft glass windows/walls to allow tons of sun in. Debating whether to go a light grey or light blue
Yes
How did you mix the two different brand of paints for the cabinets? Did the store do it for you or did you do it?
The store will do it for you. Most hardware stores can match a paint color you want. So if they don’t carry that specific brand they can still use the equivalent color in another brand to get the color you want. Either way, I would recommend getting a few samples, painting it on samples pieces of wood and then deciding. Every kitchen is different; natural light, artificial light, etc. makes a huge difference so if you are getting inspiration online you should still test it in person first to ensure you love it!
Hi Mar,
I’m remodeling my kitchen and I noticed that in the nook area the floor is tile but it looks like I’m the kitchen it’s hardwood. Do you have a picture of how the two meet?
Thanks,
Antoinette
Hi Antoinette,
It is the same flooring throughout the first floor, it is the hardwood. Hope that helps!
I LOVE the floors!!! I just bought a house and would love these floors in it. Do you know what color I need to ask for in order to get these? I can always show them this photo for example!! The kitchen is BEAUTIFUL!!
Hi Alexandra! Thanks for the note. I don’t know the exact color, unfortunately. They are actually laminate, can you believe it?!! They are from Floor & Decor.
Where are the island square pendants from?
Ps love the cabinet color!
Thanks! They are from IKEA 🙂
What size tiles did you use for your backsplash? Looks amazing!
Hi, Meagan! They are thin, long Subway tiles laid out in a herringbone pattern. I believe we got them at Lowe’s. This is similar: https://bit.ly/34Oc1lh
Nice kitchen! What are your counters?
Thank you! They are quartz
Wow! I love this kitchen. You did an amazing job!
