From dove to slate and marble to matte velvet, grey shades and textures are an absolute treat in the home, whether your personal taste lends itself to old-world, vintage glamour or contemporary cool, sleek surfacing. We love a grey palette, whether that’s an all-encompassing use of the one colour with tonal variations, or a complementary combo of shades – we live for a green and grey pairing! To get you inspired by this trend, we have put together an idea board full of smoky, silvery and serene grey interiors, dividing them by room, giving you an idea of what can be created with this deceptively beautiful colour. When the right furnishings, finishings and accessories come together, the results can be spectacular, whether you’re dressing a six-storey town house of a studio apartment.
Living
Our favourite detail: The worn, grey painted wooden finish on the upholstered bench (top; right).
Hallway
Our favourite detail: The use of grey panel flooring and walls, coupled with the stairs and doorway surround (top; right). A striking design, these painted features completely lift the entire space, acting as a stunning counter to the white walls.
Dining/Kitchen
Our favourite detail: The soft blue grey wash of paint on the wall above the kitchen counter (centre row, left). The imperfect application, coupled with the matte, almost concrete-like finish, is to-die-for.
Bedroom
Our favourite detail: The rain cloud-like painted wall, with its swirling mix of soft and deeper greys, set off by the introduction of purple into the furnishings (bottom; right)
Bathroom
Our favourite detail: Any tiling as intricate as the centre image deserves serious applause. The multitude of grey tones included is simply a bonus and a great colour choice for showing off said intricacy.
