How versatile is grey? “Very,” says Laura Downie, owner and principal designer at Studio 1 Interiors. “Grey can create a really diverse range of looks, from cool and calm to dark and dramatic, depending on the hue and shade you choose,” she says. “It can work in every room in your home and is guaranteed to add wow factor. A light grey can be the perfect neutral starting point for a range of interior styles – even for the most avid supporter of white walls. I think we’ll continue to see a lot more grey in Australian homes.

7. Zone the spaceIn an open-plan scheme, it’s a good idea to use colour to zone separate areas. By using a dark shade on your cabinets, you can make your kitchen appear grounded in its spot.Here, the dark units contrast with the white walls around them, helpfully marking out the kitchen from the rest of the room. ....

At number 2, the runner-up is…Grey remains a hugely popular colour for kitchens and this 1920s/30s three-storey townhouse cookspace goes dark and intimate with its chosen shade, which is mixed with beautiful milk oak for warmth. Perhaps the star feature in this generous kitchen (though there are so many!) is the quality of light. “The design draws influence from the architecture of the property,” says Marcello Cuconato, creative director of Extreme Design. “It celebrates key features, such as the glass ceiling and the bifold doors that open onto the patio.” Sleek touches include the integrated handles, picked out in oak, and the contrast between the grey-white marble worktops in the kitchen and the white-grey one inside the enviable larder. So often, it’s the small design details that make a space sing. For the family who live here, the 2.4m-long breakfast bar and stools mean parents and kids can comfortably hang out together in the heart of their home.

At number 3…This classic, solid-wood family kitchen, painted in fashionable indigo blue, was designed by Jamie Blake of Blakes London as part of a new extension on a Victorian semi.Among the (many) standout features are the beautiful black-framed doors leading out to the garden and, in fact, these influenced the ‘classic industrial’ style of the kitchen. A family of five live in the house, so the kitchen needed to be a hard-working space. In particular, the large island packs in a number of different functions. There are two sinks (one prep, one main) and two dishwashers. It also has two integrated bins, a wine cooler and pan drawers. A row of factory-style metal pendants suspended above adds to the industrial feel of the space and provides plenty of task lighting.
