These four gray Silestone colors will definitely catch your eye

In recent years, the trend for white and black kitchens has become increasingly popular, but at Cosentino, we believe that there is great beauty in the a wide range of gray shades between black and white.  Gray shades such as stone, cement, or pearl are ideal when looking to create modern, minimalist and calm space in which urban and Nordic styles merge.

That is why Silestone is launching the new Urban Crush collection, which draws its inspiration from the different textures around the city. Materials such as concrete, limestone, bronze and ash form the basis of four new colours in different shades of grey that are sure to revolutionise homes as well as commercial and hospitality spaces.

This collection has been designed for lovers of urban spaces with hints of industrial style. Silestone allows you to enjoy your interior spaces, playing creatively with the tones of Urban Crush and pair them with bright colors, textures and eclectic touches.

Break out of black and white with these four shades of gray

Silestone comes in four new gray shades, with different textures inspired by city life.

• The gray tone of Concrete Pulse is perfect for eclectic interiors, adding a vibrant contrasting effect. This natural gray shade looks great in both light and shadow. It is the best backdrop to complement with eye-catching accessories and highlight details.
  For a memorable design, use eclectic combinations of textured glass and voluminous fabrics.

• The textured beige tones of Lime Delight provide a versatile background for any interior design, from calm and pure spaces to more daring designs. Its warm, bright tones evoke the glow of the famous Marbella limestone. A bold mix of vibrant colors and textures in a completely urban style. Interiors are enhanced with bold details in bright colors and textures for a truly urban style.

• Brass Relish, a coppery brown with a unique grain pattern, it blends perfectly with the colors and design features of modern vintage style. This sleek, sophisticated color embodies fine-grained sandstone. Brass Relish stands as the perfect base color for copper, dark wood or dark colored wallpapers. You can also go for bolder combinations in intense colors such as orange, green and blue.

• The nearly black and veined tones of Cinder Craze bring style, character and life to any industrial-style interior. A modern take on black sandstone. It is a combination of dark grain with white seashell veins. This color fits perfectly with natural materials and textures while creating a nice contrast with bright colors such as orange and blue. It also goes well with light-filled spaces rich in plants and decorated with different kinds of fabrics.

Textures inspiring the Urban Crush collection

The new Urban Crush colors feature textures reminiscent of concrete, limestone, bronze and ash. In the same way that we are inspired when we stroll through the city, the underground tracks and the streets bursting with life and color, we want to transfer this to our interiors with Silestone Urban Crush.

Seemingly understated, the pastel shades of the collection offer an industrial canvas, the perfect and natural match for pure and eclectic spaces. On closer inspection, however, the colors burst with an intensity that brings the spaces to life.

How to use the new gray shades of the Urban Crush collection

The great versatility of these hues can be used on any surface and interior cladding, in homes, hotels, restaurants, and shops. All these, coupled with Silestone’s technical features, makes it the highest performance design surface on the market.

For a cozy atmosphere, choose one of the warmer tones from the collection, Lime Delight or Brass Relish, and combine it with wood and fabrics in shades of terracotta and green.

Alternatively, if you are looking for a more sober look in cooler tones, we recommend using the colors Concrete Pulse and Cinder Craze, paired with glass, shiny metal and bright colors to create a contemporary, urban style to your space.
