Grey the New Beige

Hooray Hooray! Gray has planted its seed and will not be leaving anytime soon. It has taken over the blain boring beige and has become the new neutral. It has found itself as wall colors, flooring, accents, and furniture pieces. With many different shades creating an array of feelings, gray in the color to use to achieve a more modern looking space. Popular on the runway, gray is making a fashionable statement throughout design. The different undertones of gray are purple-gray, blue-gray, brown-gray, these all create different feels and can be paired with a variety of colors.

This room is just beautiful to me, the white lacquered desk with baroque style legs the bold pattern wallcovering with indigo and white and the accents of metallic gray creates a modern, sleek look with a hint of sexiness to this office space.

The undertone of this gray is purple.
 It is a cool gray and works very
nicely in a sleek design. This color
paired with lavender is a very nice
 soft modern look.

This children's room is a great
way to use gray as paint, bedding,
and accents without it being
overwhelming. The striped wall paired with white creates a great pattern for a child's room. The modern lacquered white chandelier brings personality into the room. The gray of the bedding
layered with the white bedding ties the striped wall all together cohesively.

Pink (Honeysuckle) is a great color to pair with gray. The subtle hints of pink with the tufted headboard, the silk drapery and the dangling crystal chandelier with the gray curtain wall has a feeling of elegance and sophistication.
