I can’t tell you how many times I hear “but the skies are so gray here, I can’t do gray walls.” So here’s the thing with gray it is as simple yet complex as any other color. It can take on warm and cool tones and makes a rich backdrop to many colors because of its contrasting nature.
Lighting is important when working with gray tones, accentuating the highs and lows creates a lot of depth and movement. Gray is a sophisticated palette the lighter cooler tones offer a clean, crisp feel while the darker evokes a sense of modern glamour. The warmer grays are earthier and have a cozier appeal.
Have fun with gray by adding a bold accent like a citrus yellow or lime green, think watery blues and greens paired with gray for a soothing, calm environment steeped from nature. Warm up your gray with exposed brick or distressed wood pieces the furniture doesn’t have to be metal, glass or white.
