I'm having a Grey Day!

Grey (or gray for you American folk) is making a serious design comeback! And I couldn't be happier. It's such a  great neutral shade that can be used to build up a room as well as tone it down. And unlike many other colours, it can be used en masse with great versatility and style. For instance, in the photographs above, look how great a feature wall looks with grey and white wallpaper (right). It's a great way to make a wall really speak to you, but with out it shouting. Again, grey slated walls in the kitchen (left) work incredibly well with raw, untreated wood styles which are cropping up everywhere these days. And if you think grey is a little cold for your home (I initially did) I've figured out that using several shades of grey can create depth and warmth, and also makes a great base colour for brighter accessories in red/ teal/ yellow/purple/pink or white.

If painting your walls grey isn't quite your cup of tea, there are other easy ways to make greys a luxurious part of your home. I've just bought a great grey duvet set from Woolworths, and you can accessorize with cushions, throws or upholstered furniture (see above). Don't you just love the ruffled duvet set from UrbanOutfitters? mmmm, I'd have me one of those!

And then lastly, a great way to add small touches of grey to your spaces, is by adding the small details. Chairs, glassware, and not to mention a great handbag and some well mani'd nails :). Have a great grey weekend! :)
