In the world of decorating, grey is the new neutral. It is a deeply sophisticated neutral that provides intensity to understated hues and enhances bold shades. However, getting grey right can be complex. The magnitude of a certain hue, whether cool or warm, can induce an entirely different ambiance and have a tremendous impact on the vibe of the room. For example, the living quarters in these photos evoke a cool, quiet, mellow feeling. Mastering the art of using gray is epitomized flawlessly. To master the color grey to this level takes lots of planning and expertise.
The walls do all the talking while the various furnishings, accent pieces, and lighting distracts from the deep hued grey and extends the vibrancy of the room in a subtle way. Oriental carpets with shades of red, blue, and off-white; blue and white Louie XV styled sitting chairs, and a white solid relaxing chair give the living room a cozy aura despite the steel grey walls and ceiling. The effect is dynamic and exquisite.
