If there is one colour that has managed to establish itself as a protagonist in interior design over the last few years, it is grey. In 2025, grey kitchens continue to set the trend for their ability to convey balance, sophistication and versatility, adapting to all kinds of styles and needs.
At Ascale, we explore this trend with our own proposal: high-performance porcelain and sintered materials, with grey finishes and shades that take any kitchen project to a new aesthetic and functional dimension.
Why is grey the star colour in kitchens?
Grey has become the new neutral par excellence. It is no longer seen as a cold or impersonal tone, but as an elegant base on which to build spaces with identity. And this is especially true in kitchens, where a balanced, clean and timeless atmosphere is increasingly sought after.
Moreover, its versatility allows:
- Combine it with natural materials such as wood or stone.
- Integrate it in styles ranging from Scandinavian minimalism to contemporary industrial.
- Use it as a backdrop or as the main element.
Ascale models ideal for grey kitchens
At Ascale, innovation in design goes hand in hand with technical excellence. Our materials offer both aesthetic and practical solutions for high-performance kitchens, without compromising on design.
The application of our materials is ideal for kitchen worktops, islands, backsplashes and walls.
Here are some of our most representative finishes in grey:
Cosmopolita Gray
The Cosmopolita Gray model is inspired by the texture of polished cement. This porcelain tile combines industrial aesthetics with a surface that is soft to the touch. Ideal for urban, modern spaces with character.
- Recommended combinations: Matt black furniture, metallic finishes, or light wood.
Armani Silver
The Armani Silver is a grey marble with fine and delicate veining, offering a timeless and elegant aesthetic. Its sophisticated finish is ideal for classic or modern style kitchens.
- Recommended combinations: Furniture in dark tones, details in gold or bronze and decorative elements in glass.
Where to use grey in the kitchen?
Grey has no limits when it comes to design. Here are some key spaces where you can apply this chromatic palette using Ascale materials:
- Worktops and central islands: large grey porcelain surfaces that resist cuts, heat and stains without losing their beauty.
- Vertical cladding or kitchen fronts: An elegant way to integrate grey into walls, columns or backsplashes.
- Backsplashes: Back panels that are not only functional, but also create visual continuity with the worktop.
Ideas for combining grey with style
One of the great advantages of working with grey tones is their versatility: they adapt to an infinite number of combinations without losing elegance. Grey can be subtle or the star of the show, depending on what you combine it with. These are some of the most effective formulas to achieve a kitchen with character and style, using Ascale materials that enhance this trend:
Boreal Sand Inspired by maple, it brings soft beige and cream tones which, when combined with greys such as Cosmopolitan Silver, create balanced and warm kitchens. Ideal for Scandinavian, organic or Japandi styles.
- With light wood: Creates a natural contrast that brings warmth and harmony.
Alpi White offers a white base with subtle grey veining, ideal for bringing light and contrast to kitchens with grey worktops or walls.
- With white or black marble: For a more luxurious and sophisticated aesthetic.
Grum Black, with its deep black background and white veining, elevates any grey kitchen to a more dramatic and elegant proposition.
- With warm lighting: It enhances the shades of grey and provides visual comfort, especially if LED lighting is used in areas such as islands or shelves.
In short, grey is much more than a passing fad: it is a safe bet for those who want a functional, elegant kitchen with its own style. At Ascale, we are committed to resistant, sophisticated and sustainable surfaces that adapt perfectly to this trend.
