First, let us talk about the white recessed-panel cabinets. The thing that catches our eyes more here is not about the simple white color that this furniture has. We are more interested in the grey tile backsplash used to pair the base cabinets.

We think it will be something to connect the furniture and the slate appliances to look beautiful in the kitchen design. The reason why we say so is that the backsplash does have not only a white tone but also a grey color that looks very similar to the appliances' tone.

Talking about the grey appliances, we love the look not only because of the slate brown-grey tone but also the blue integrated lights, as shown in the refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher. It adds a sophisticated feel in cooking the area.
