Who said that Grey is a drab and miserable colour? This season the interior design world has been awash with gorgeous greys and muted pebble tones that create a chic and sophisticated alternative to traditional white and beige interior decors.
From sumptuous pewter paint tones to opulent fabrics and furnishings there are a multitude of ways to incorporate this latest stylish colour trend into your home interior.

Colour Palettes
Grey is a versatile and sophisticated colour choice that works equally well in neutral minimal homes and bright and vibrant interior spaces. You can partner several varying grey tones for a soft and calming interior ambiance or combine your chosen grey tone with a pop of colour such as lime, cerise or yellow for a bright and uplifting interior space.
Cushions
A scattering of grey cushions will create a snug and sumptuous space where you can kick back and relax. Plain and patterned cushions in a variety of tones and sizes make a great feature on a bed, sofa or occasional chair and are a great way of introducing colour to your interior space without the need to change your existing decor. Rich satins, textured fur and sumptuous chenille fabrics work wonderfully with a variety of grey hues to create a chic and tranquil setting within your home
Textiles and Rugs
Rich and sumptuous textiles and rugs are both a textural and aesthetically appealing addition to any interior. From soft dove grey to rich stone tones there are a vast range of hues to suit both modern and traditional interiors. Plain and printed throws and rugs create a visually attractive focal point in any room or you can opt for a faux fur or Mongolian style rug that will create a warm and cosy center piece in your living area. Curtains and upholstery also provide the perfect way to add complimentary and contrasting grey tones into your interior without overpowering your whole room.
Furniture
Grey painted furniture has increased in popularity over the past few years and have been a key colour palette in the Shabby chic interior design trend. Fabulous dining tables, traditional dressers and sideboards can be given a timeless and elegant face lift with a touch of pale grey or dusky pewter tones to create a unique and customised furniture collection.
For a more opulent and glamorous ambiance you can pair your grey interior with a palatial silver leaf furniture item such as our French silver leaf tallboy chest. Its fabulous metallic silver exterior and traditional design will perfectly compliment both light and dark grey colour palettes.
