Hello, Lili here, so excited to get an extra hour of sunlight! With the temperature rising and sunshine filling our rooms longer at home and Spring cleaning around the corner, there couldn't be a more perfect time to start redecorating your home with those cool whites and grey's!.... Super chic and totally modern, this moody shade is the tone shade of the moment and my personal favourite colour combination!
Check out our latest staging video below using this colour combination and see how it has the power to enliven any space.
And here are some decorating tips using Grey hues
Think of a room in grey scale (meaning black, white, and everything in between) as you would think of a monochromatic outfit, say, a grey dress. With no further information, you might picture a corporate uniform: dull, austere, and gloomy. But pair that dress with a shimmery, sequined charcoal cardigan, a faded black leather jacket, and a handful of thick silver chains and you have something else entirely, something that takes minutes to decode, rather than seconds. The results can also be more tasteful and sophisticated than a similar outfit in louder colours. If you draw from too many hues in your wardrobe, you may attain Boho fabulousness—or you may find yourself costumed for the circus.
The same truth applies to a room. Grey scale is markedly more flexible than colours: You can pile grey on or pare it back, and it will continue to meet the mood.
Vary the shades
For a simple option, using five variations of a shade on an equal number of throw pillows.
The main neutral
Use grey as your main neutral, but add spark by pairing it with colours: Grey plays well with everything from cobalt blue to aqua, flax to taupe, lemon ice to sunflower yellow. Most people choose brown or beige as their predominant neutral, since wood plays a significant role in interior design, but grey is an inspired and exciting alternative, particularly if the rest of your colour palette tends toward cool—or if you’re inclined to paint your wood white or ebonize it.
Happy decorating and enjoy the sun when you can!
