G

rey can be a diicult color to alter but can be incorporated into

a warm or cool setting depending on the grey that you choose. For
example, grey with undertones of green, blue, or violet are cool, while

“greige”, (a combination of taupe and grey), is warmer. Yellow, red, or

orange undertones would be considered warm as well.

Layering diferent tones of grey creates dimension, texture, and pizzazz
in any room. From an accent wall to furnishing pieces that contrast

within the palette, the world is abuzz about grey — it is a vibrantly

dimensional and beautiful look.

For those who are hesitant to make the commitment to a grey-walled

environment, build the look with furnishings like AFR’s Burnished
Collection paired with a Shogun Chair and the silver Parisian Round

Ottoman on a Rasta Block Rug. For dimension, add some textured

pillows and throws in varying tones of grey. Finish with metal accents
in oil rubbed bronzes, pewter and iron or choice of metal inish lamps.

Do not forget accent pieces for that bare wall. AFR’s Jasmine or
Jet Accent Chest
completes a perfect look.

Super Success Tip

Choose your shade of grey by its undertone as that is

the color that will emerge once it is on a wall or in a

furniture setting. Examples of cool grey undertones are

blue, green, or violet. Grey with a taupe undertone
(“greige”) is warm.

Feeling like you need some color? Decorating is about having fun and

living in a happy space. With grey you can toss in your favorite colored

pillows and accessories to create just the right pop.
