Interior Design: Working with Grey

Gray can create a soothing backdrop in your space or be used as a bold accent piece with your furniture. Gray is a neutral that can be used in a variety of colors, from calming dove grey to moody charcoals and everything between.
Gray can be paired with many colors, so you need to choose a color scheme that will bring out the best of your home. The color of your gray will determine which colors you use.

A Calming Gray Color Palette
You can create a calm atmosphere with warm gold tones if you have soft gray walls, a medium gray sofa, or a loveseat. You can add color to your space with wallpapered accent walls, patterned rugs, throw blankets, and pillows.

To make a bold statement in style, you can choose a beautiful saddle brown recliner. You will notice a hint of orange undertones. Rust brown is richer and redder.

The Drama of Charcoal Gray
The charcoal gray color adds a moody, interesting look that can be complemented by bright and bold pops of color. A dark charcoal background makes it stand out with striking shades of pink or eye-catching brass shades.

You will be surprised at how saturated colors can contrast with dark gray, which creates an unexpected feeling of balance in your decor. You can start with a gray headboard and gray walls in your bedroom, and then add colorful accents to give your space a decorator feel.

A Mix of Neutrals
A room with neutral tones is a relaxing place to unwind after a long day. Gray works well with neutrals such as beige, brown and black. You can add texture and a touch of greenery to your neutral palette by adding new accents such as patterned rugs, layers of texture, and patterned rugs.

Crisp Gray, and White
To give your home a refreshing feel, you can use cool shades of gray and bright colors. Even on the hottest days, a room that is lined with linen fabrics and has a well-placed alignment of grey, black and white will look super chic and inviting. Your bedroom can be given a crisp yet warm feel with a softly upholstered straight lined grey and black headboard for your mattress. For a subtle touch of color, you can use faux or fresh plants in a simple vase.
