One of the biggest reservations people have when decorating with the color grey is that it may look too “depressing.”
It’s a valid concern. But we’re here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way. Grey decor can look refined and, dare we say, upbeat when done right. We looked to this episode of “Real Home Lookbook,” to learn how to choose the right color grey for your home.
Step one: Get as many samples as you can and place them side by side. That way, you’ll better be able to tell the difference between warm and cool greys. If it’s a blue-based grey, it will look cool, and if it’s a grey mixed in with a bit of yellow, it will look warmer and more comfortable. Another rule to remember: The larger the room, the deeper the grey should be.
