Amazing Greys

In this blog, I’d like to show you that grey is an extremely versatile and amazing colour when it comes to creating a fantastic looking interior space. It compliments just about any colour it is paired with...and it really isn’t dull.

There is such a range of greys that there’s something for everyone, from pale and silvery to bold, battleship grey.

I’ve picked out some of my favourite examples of the use of grey, from traditional living spaces to contemporary apartments, and from beautiful bedrooms to slightly whacky rooms...

This pale silver/grey interior has an amazing capacity to ‘transform’ with the light and blend with the room accessories. It looks simply fantastic.




If you are brave enough to go dark and dramatic you can create a really beautiful effect. I love this interior. It just oozes sophistication.





The next example uses a strong grey to compliment white, black and turquoise. Combined with incredible textures (I’ve talked about textures in a previous blog) it makes the space feel so inviting and warm.


Why not try soothing grey wallpapers? An array of wallpaper retailers will be able to satisfy your grey taste buds. For example, Jocelyn Warner offers wallpapers that have some of the widest range of shades of grey I've seen, combined with beautiful, complex patterns.





You can use grey to add interest and create depth and excitement to any interior. Look at these cool interiors below to see what I mean.












I think these examples demonstrate that, used cleverly, greys can really define a room or living space. They don’t have to be bland and boring you just need to use them imaginatively.

Greys are great!
