Richelieu Introduces Elegant Grey Finishes for Modern Kitchen Interiors

New Dark Grey and Anthracite options add timeless sophistication to storage systems and accessories

(Montreal, Canada, August 29, 2025) Richelieu introduces an array of kitchen storage systems and accessories available in an elegant palette of grey finishes. A warm and calming Dark Grey finish elevates popular elements such as the AXIAL drawer box system, while a sleek Anthracite finish adds style to products like LIRO pull-out systems, OPTIMIZ-R drawer boxes, and the retractable iMove system, which brings items stored in upper cabinets down to eye-level. While white interiors have long been a mainstay in European-made kitchen cabinetry, grey is quickly becoming a signature neutral that offers a clean-feeling aesthetic and timeless appeal. With grey interiors, the inside of kitchen cabinets can now look just as good as the outside.

More than a design trend, Richelieu’s elegant grey finishes are a timeless choice that elevates cabinet interiors. With gray hues available for everything from sliding pantries and pull-out shelves to interior accessories such as utensil dividers and anti-slip deco mats to stylish decorative hardware, Richelieu’s grey finishes allow designers, architects, and homeowners to personalize kitchen interiors without compromising functionality.

Pull-out pantry systems, such as the LIRO collection, which features optional wood inserts, add warmth while effortlessly enhancing functionality. Corner storage organizers, including LIRO’s Magic Corner I with pull-out door and Magic Corner II for hinged doors, the ultra-sleek Lemans II pivoting tray system, and the uniquely shaped and highly efficient Trigon II 600 System make the most out of often-hard-to-reach corners. In warm grey tones, all of the elements create a look that’s clean and modern, infusing both style and substance into the kitchen.

And speaking of clean, Richelieu’s practical-yet-stylish trash organizers, the Euro-Cargo II and the SE Cargo (both available in Dark Grey) offer discreet waste management with premium features like over-travel slides, integrated metal lids to reduce odors, and soft-closing mechanisms for ease of use.

Drawer organization also gets a sophisticated upgrade. The OPTIMIZ-R (in Anthracite) and AXIAL (in Dark Grey) metal drawer box system provide streamlined storage with clean, symmetrical lines. For added grip and style, anti-slip Deco Mat in Anthracite lines drawers with textured protection. Meanwhile, Separado multipurpose divider trays in Dark Grey help neatly organize cutlery, utensils, spices, and more.

With no detail overlooked, Richelieu’s specialized interior fittings, like the LIDO soft-opening arm and the iMove lift-down system, merge elegant design with smart engineering. LIDO pistons are available in an elegant titanium finish and iMove comes in Anthracite to ensure a seamless dark grey color throughout.

Completing the look, Modern Metal Pulls in grey tone complement the cabinetry’s exterior while tying into the interior finishes, delivering a cohesive and contemporary kitchen design.

With these new grey-toned innovations, Richelieu continues to blend form, function, and style – offering kitchen interiors that are as thoughtfully designed as they are beautiful.
