grey walls & lovely warmth

Posted on 2012/01/16 by Mia in Dining/Living room, Frame Groupings, SS 2012

Gr e y is certainly one of the hottest wall colours now that white is increasingly set aside in favor of more interesting options. As grey often is a bit cold, I love when it’s combined with warm purples, reds and pinks. And brown leather & woods. Here’s some great examples! Oh and I like the frame hanging to the left – a fun alternative to the gallery style.

 

There’s some exciting things going on at the Trendey headquarters right now! A stylist just vistited and tomorrow photo shoots will take place in my little abode. Stay tuned :)

And some info: We get quite a few questions on how to decorate a specific room. It’s nice to hear from you and our answers are found here. Now, we have been using our imagination on the basis of your descriptions, but in order for us to deliver advices and ideas that’s at least fairly appropriate, please attach a photo of the room in question (it is now possible via the contact form too) if you want us to think & feedback. Happy week!

    Magnificent chandelier! Gorgeous color schemes also, I am thinking something like this for my dining. Could I ask if you know of a great gray paint hue for walls? Ty.

    Hi Tina! I agree on the chandelier, it’s the same as (or very similar to) the one Abigail Ahern has in her shop (http://www.atelierabigailahern.com/products.asp?pid=Neo-baroque-chandelier )

    I have not used grey paint myself so I have no great tips unfortunately. I suspect it’s with grey as it is with beige – you get soo many different hues you need to get test cans and try in on. I think I tried about 20 beige’s before I found the right one [F&B:s matchstick] for my room! It depends not only on the light conditions in the room and what kind of floor you have reflecting, but also what colours you want to combine the grey with…And of course, what feels right. Though difficult, it’s a fun process choosing I think! At least the day you land in something great.:)

    Many thanks for stopping by!
