10 Reasons to Love Grey Home Decor


Grey is my new favorite colour for home decor!

The endless options of how to use this colour 
in terms of decorating style, to create a mood, 
as a backdrop or a focal point,
are what make it so appealing for design aficionados

Here's 10 reasons that I love it.


GREY IS NEUTRAL

This soft grey paneled wall is a backdrop to showcase a fantastic staircase 




GREY IS CLASSIC

Brass cabinet hardware adds warmth to these dark grey cabinets


GREY IS WARM

luxurious texture makes this bedroom so inviting...
shag rug, velvet ottoman, mohair bedding, grass cloth wall paper
all add to the feeling of warmth calling you in.

GREY IS COOL

 This modern space works for a warm climate, 
but it would be sad in the winter in Canada!
A green plant or wooden side table would warm it up a lot.

GREY IS ARTISTIC

Grey is the second most recommended wall colour
(only behind white) for clients with a vast art collection

'Le Soleil' by Vicente Garcia Jimenez:


GREY IS MASCULINE

An almost black shade makes this tall space also dark and handsome,
the perfect backdrop for caramel leather and quirky accessories

masculine chic:


GREY IS FEMININE

The opposite effect happens when a soft grey is used along with lovely trim and millwork, creating a pretty space that feels serene

GREY IS GLAMOROUS

If there was any doubt that grey can be glam, this spectacular dining room demonstrates that the right sheen and texture makes all the difference.

GREY IS RUSTIC 

Any other colour on the fireplace tile would not have blended so well and may have taken away from the real feature of the room, the massive beams above.

I could go on and on.....
but you get it.

If in doubt about how to get started with your design scheme,
get into a grey area and something wonderful is sure to happen!
