Posted on 28/09/2022

Grey is a neutral colour that is very much in vogue. Unlike other neutrals such as beige or magnolia that feel a little dated, grey is enjoying its day. Here are a few reasons why interior designers love grey!

Grey is versatile

Grey works as a neutral colour in both modern and traditional decorating styles - making it a truly versatile choice. We see it in the choices made by customers upgrading their home storage - no matter what the style of their interior, grey remains a popular colour option for frames and doors.

Grey works with Scandinavian minimalism

Minimalist furniture styles with function given priority over form are the hallmarks of Scandinavian chic style. Grey furniture perfectly complements the stripped wooden floorboards and clean lines associated with this look and lifestyle choice.

Grey is sophisticated

Grey is a sophisticated colour that really comes into its own in rooms with high ceilings and lots of light. We really notice the difference when we replace a dusty old freestanding wooden wardrobe with a contemporary sliding door with grey frames and mirrored glass. It’s such an upgrade!

Grey makes colours pop

Grey is a fantastic base colour for interiors as other colours - whether you prefer striking bolds or muted pastels - will always pop when accenting a grey background.

Grey pairs beautifully with metallic elements

One final tip for people looking to design their own furniture and considering what works well with their favourite neutral colours. Grey pairs beautifully with reflective glass and metallic elements. Match light grey with silver or chrome for a chic lighthearted design. Dark grey with gold or brass for a sumptuous luxuriance.
