Things I saw today that I likedHave you been watching The Block? One of my favourite things in terms of the decorating is Josh and Jenna’s grey-wall theme running through their house. I love grey walls. They look so sophisticated paired with more grey and ivory, but if you want colour you can add green or pink or lilac or orange (yes, just about anything!), and that will work too. It puts me in mind of one of my favourite grey bedrooms:
I love the darker grey silk curtains and the muted grey rug. And that bed is pretty special, too.
Who doesn’t love Hamptons-inspired decorating (above)? What does it for me here is the scale of the pieces: big, chunky grey console topped with giant glass lamps and big pieces of coral. My house used to be completely ‘Hamptons’ style with a bit of French provincial thrown in, but I’ve moved on to a lot of colour and a sort of crazy fusion of Hollywood Regency and Chinoiserie. This pic makes me want to go back!
To me this dark grey is a little more masculine. Love how it works with the gold touches, the mirror and that great chandelier – so glam!
Hi Naomi,
I change my accessories with the seasons, cushions and artwork, neutral and warm in winter, and cool in summer,turquoise,white and duck egg blue at the moment with all the white and my grey ‘feature ‘walls. Very easy to live with……………
cheers, Susan
Does anyone know where I could buy a rug like the muted grey one in the bedroom picture above?
Love the grey and the Hamptons style. Makes me realise I am glad I have stuck with it. Thanks so much for your encouragement Naomi. Loving your pics as always. Lynne.
Hi Lynne, your home and your neutral scheme is beautiful and it suits your style! And it’s always getting better! Naomi x
Yes! Grey seems to go with everything and I am still so in love with it.
You’re right, I think it goes with everything and sometimes is just more interesting than plain white walls!
Gray is the new brown! Love the images you’ve shown
Yes! Remember when chocolate was ‘the’ colour and everything was about earthy browns? I still like the warmth of that look but grey is much more stylish!
