1. CHARCOAL GREY
While charcoal grey is neutral, it's also a statement. This bold hue is more modern than its neutral cousins like beige or cream but less dramatic than black. This tone works as the perfect complement to most colors, especially bright whites, warm citrus hues, and pinks. And because this is a warm neutral, it works great with natural materials like wood, marble, and plants.
2. LIGHT GREY
A more muted, lighter grey allows a room to breathe, feel airy, and sometimes even appear larger than it is. It gives warmth to a room and contrasts well with white trim and joinery. And depending on the lighting, it can appear cooler. Plus, several colors go with light grey, meaning, it opens up the opportunity to create any style of interior – a cozy, understated one with lighter hues, or a super luxurious one with bold contrasts.
3. TEXTURED GREY
Grey in any room offers a sense of peaceful formality but if you want to add a little movement to the design, consider grey in textures. This could be via textured paints (think limewash) or used across shaggy rugs or knitted pillows. Choose the deep tone and lift it with texture and tactility for a cozy grey living room or bedroom. The space will feel more luxurious and comfortable.
4. PEWTER GREY
Greys with a touch of metallic tend to have a very crisp, almost icy look to them. They work wonderfully with bright whites in formal rooms and with blues and beiges. Many times these can be treated like a light blue or a cool beige. If you're wondering how to decorate with jewel tones, a nice backdrop color can always be a pewter grey.
5. GREY WITH BLUE UNDERTONES
For some, a pure grey can feel a little too cold, and blue too common. But put them together in the right combination and you have a color that is stylish, sophisticated, and soothing. A grey bedroom, kitchen, or living room with a strong blue undertone can create a sanctuary-like interior, which feels welcoming and calming, and also luxurious. This tone looks great with shining accessories like a crystal chandelier, silver mirror, and glass lamp.
