Grey is a mark of sophistication.  Right now I’m contemplating grey for walls in a giant office space to make the kitchen feel more creative yet glamorous.  Its that kind of color: creative, glamorous, stunning and steely.  While grey can feel mopey or tired, if you add lots of earth and wood energy to a grey space you create something stunning and balanced out of a room.  In fact: if you have lots of beige, brown and gream in a room already, grey walls can bring it all to life in a much more precise and serene way!

Warm grey pallettes never fail to impress me with their silvery bliss.

Tempered sophistication. Can you see how the grey really “finishes” the room in an almost velvety beauty?

Cream makes the cool metal energy of grey much warmer. I am not a huge fan of stacked shelves overhead behind furniture, but this is a great demonstration of how creamy colors and grey are an ideal combination for creating calm.

Grey + wood + neutrals are the sleek combination for an urban oasis.

It never fails to impress me when a statement grey rests behind art and makes it glow, perfectly complimented by all the flaxen colors here that bring earthy greatness to this living room.

Grey isn’t always intuitive. You may feel it will be too dark, too contracting, too big a risk for your own home.  But: it is the hue that helps you to think better, create more exactly and feel cool in every situation, so its well worth the color gamble to mix grey into your neutrals to bring spaces to chic-ness and energized life.
