Shades of Grey

A Grey inte­rior sounds drab and depress­ing to many peo­ple, yet if used in the right way, grey can be atmos­pheric, ele­gant & dra­matic. With so many shades mak­ing an appear­ance at the moment it’s now get­ting dif­fi­cult to choose a favourite.

Neu­trals like cream, black, beige and white tie in well with soft shades of grey.

 

A punch of bright colour adds inter­est. From neon pinks, to yel­lows, turquoise and red, the use of a fresh accent can illu­mi­nate any grey space.

 

Grey looks luxe next to metal­lic sur­faces such as sil­ver, gold and cop­per. To cre­ate a sense of opu­lence, add stain­less steel or nickel fin­ishes. Or go for a shim­mer­ing greys in the form of fab­rics with a lurex blend, wall paper, metal­lic paints.

 

Another great way to use grey is in the form of black and white pho­tographs, mono­chro­matic art­works or some of your favourite fam­ily por­traits printed in black and white, hung to cre­ate an inter­est­ing grey-scale fea­ture wall.  There are some beau­ti­ful pat­terned and tex­tured wall­pa­pers in a sub­tle shade of grey, which can be both warm and inviting.
