You Should Go Gray

Gray. One of my favorite colors of the moment. I think it is one of the best neutrals and looks amazing with turquoise, yellow and hot pink.  I think it’s safe to say that Gray…is on the cutting edge of design.  It can be classic & tailored, traditionally buttoned up, or super chic!

One of Candace Olson’s stunning bathroom remodels. Gray walls with mirrors, chrome accents and rich dark woods are chic and  classic.

Worried that dark gray walls will make the room feel small? Bring in lighter design element like rugs, lighting and maybe white lacquered furniture to contrast the warm color.

This room is much more interesting with gray walls…I just can’t imagine a khaki wall with all of the vibrant colors. It’s perfect.  Image: Design Sponge

I would move in here..tomorrow! I LOVE this room. CHICNESS!

Classic and stately, the warm rusty orange headboard works perfectly with the warm walls and I love the mix of pattern.

This velvet sectional makes the room!

I love the red and black with the warm gray walls. This looks like a fancy french bed and breakfast!

This room takes on a fresh and relaxing feeling, the gray has a grounding affect on the room.

I’ll take two! And that wallcovering..it’s dazzling!  Image:  Kimvallee.com

If these images aren’t convincing you to go gray….maybe George will inspire you!!   Have a great day everyone!

    Abbe! I love your blog. I decided to “go gray” when we bought our house and at first everybody thought I was nuts… but it has proved to be a great decision. I have so much freedom to incorporate fabulously bright colors as well as classic black and white. I’m inspired… going fabric shopping!

    Hi,

    I love this post. I am “going gray” in our master bedroom. We are moving in to our new house in Decemeber. We have 4 huge windows with a lot of natural light. I want to paint the walls gray, but have no idea where to begin. Some grays look too blue, others too brown. In the photos you posted I love the shades of gray in photo #1, #2, & #5. Do you have any recommendations on a classic, simple gray paint color?

    Thanks a bunch!
