Decorators have for awhile thought of grey as the new white. It’s a more elegant neutral that gives depth to subtle colors and makes bold tones pop (rather than shout). It is a color of calmness and serenity. It conveys a cool elegance and is a symbol of introspection. It is an interesting color and can go from dark grey representing strength, to a softer grey, which becomes more innocent and fragile. While I think all styles of grey rooms are wonderful, to me the most beautiful are the French grey and white rooms. I am so torn between my love of color and my love for the simple beauty of THIS combination. There is such a peacefulness that it brings and that is where it's appeal is. If you are redecorating or building a new home, I encourage you to consider this style. Let the images of this post inspire you! This grey, weathered wood room is so gorgeous.
