Colour Trend – Cool Grey

Grey is still as popular as ever when it comes to classic interior design and this season COOL GREY is set to overtake neutral creams and white as the highest seller of 2019.  The cool and crisp undertones will work well with a multitude of colour partnerships and can be adopted seamlessly into both modern and traditional home interiors. This muted grey is perfect for creating a base in Scandinavian, rustic or bohemian style interiors or can be teamed with classic period hues for a more traditional design.

For a simple and sleek look partner cool grey with crisp white for a minimal and modern interior design, you could also add in a variety of tonal greys and icy blues from dove grey through to charcoal to create a cosier yet crispy Nordic inspired design. This look works great with a branch or leaf print wallpaper. If you wish to create a cosy and rural inspired interior design, then why not partner cool grey with rich red and orange hues and a tartan inspired wallpaper for a traditional highland feel.  A period interior design can be created by partnering cool grey with a rich purple hue that is striking and eye-catching and team with a bold rococo or baroque style wallpaper with silver accents that will create an air of glamour and luxury within your chosen room.

If you love to create a visual statement with your soft furnishing and accessories then why not select some cool grey cushions, curtains and upholstery in sleek velvet and satin fabrics and place alongside bolstered and tasselled cushions and period style rugs to create a traditional look that oozes opulence and luxury. For a more Scandinavian inspired home then why not select some cool grey linen curtains and sofas and partner with a selection of fairisle, woodland animal and branch print cushions that can be accompanied by some plush grey faux fur cushions, throws and rugs for a textural and cosy ambiance in your chosen room.  If you prefer a more laid-back bohemian style of interior design then why not create a mix and match of style and patterns featuring grey and black tribal prints, grey knitted and crocheted throws and cushions and grey and black wall tapestries that are sure to create a focal point within the room.

Grey painted furniture will make a perfect accompaniment to this colour palette and will create a co-ordinated and sophisticated finish that works well in both modern and traditional interior designs. Crisp white painted furniture will also look great with a grey painted backdrop while white high gloss furniture will add a sleek and contemporary feel to any room of the home. If you love opulence and glamour in your home interiors, then why not opt for some mirrored furniture items and accessories that will create a light and illuminating feel that is perfect for more compact home interiors.
