Shades of grey in your décor

The entire place was painted in yellow and grey. At first when I was checking in at the reception, I thought to myself what a boring place, until when I was shown my room.The room was painted in yellow, silver, white and black, with little accessories that complemented the entire décor.Gray is a neutral colour. So, it is easy to match it with any other colour.Living roomA grey living room would look both formal and stylish. It’s a tricky colour but it can be very beautiful when combined with other colours. And because grey is not a very dynamic colour, you should use some focal points in your room. For example, a zebra rug would make a great addition to a grey living room design. As for the different colour combinations that include grey, purple is always a good choice. Red, blue, brown or yellow are also nice options to take into consideration. And since grey is nothing but black and white combined, you can also use it with the classical black and white and maybe with some subtle touches of red. Even though grey is a colour with character, it’s still considered neutral so a complementary tone is always welcome.Bathroom Depending on what you want to do with your bathroom, adding a standard bathroom vanity painted in grey makes it look timeless. Painted in grey and white, the bathroom can be dramatic, elegant and timeless. It will look calm and relaxed. Grey, being a combination of black and white, can be ideal to create a softer effect. Combine charcoal grey with the palest of silvery grey for a variation on the black and white theme.BedroomThe beauty of this neutral colour is that it holds a room together, hugging the space with sophistication, allowing colourful accessories to sit solidly rather than float away in a room of pale hues. In your bedroom you can experiment with more colours and see how it looks. Incorporate a number of accessories and you will never regret your results. This colour works well for both contemporary and classic living styles, appearing bold and exciting against gloss finishes and clean lines, or fabulously chic around vintage pieces.
