Gray color in the interior

It is not possible to design a room in gray tones due to fear of this cold color, and also because of the stereotype of its weak expressiveness and gloom. However, everything is decided by the selection of an original and beautiful shade, correctly placed accents and accessories.

The following advantages speak in favor of this color:

• Neutrality
• Excellent combinatorics with other shades.
• Versatility, as it is suitable for interiors in any style and direction.
• Serves as a wonderful backdrop.

Important! In terms of psychological perception, this color contributes to internal balance and concentration.

Room decoration in this color is used in two methods:

1. Monochrome design. In this case, mainly black, white and gray colors are used. No bright accents are made in such an interior. And they “saturate” the monochrome environment with original textures and materials, their combination with each other.
2. Design with accents. In this interior, gray is the background, and a variety of bright elements complement the styling. It can be textiles of saturated colors, a beautiful carpet, vases, paintings, green plants, etc.

Spectacular and stylish color combination in a gray interior

In the color scheme of the interior, the rule of combining 2-3 shades always applies. Therefore, let's find out with what shades gray wallpapers harmonize:

• White and black. These colors are universal, and therefore ideally suited to gray walls. On the other hand, such a monochrome design is slightly rustic and austere. Therefore, it is advisable to use it in the hallway, office.

Important! For living rooms, this design is justified if the premises are designed in the style of Hi-tech and Minimalism. And also for the classic interior, if gray wallpapers have a picture of white flowers, stripes or patterns.

• The design of the room with gray wallpaper is perfectly diluted with purple and red touches. Bright elements will make the room more emotional and lively. Wallpaper is better to choose light colors.

Important! The main thing is to maintain balance: gray is the basis of the interior, bright elements are laid-back accents.

• Pink color in a gray interior looks very gentle. The harmony of these shades helps to relax and tune in to rest, so feel free to design a living room or bedroom in such a range.

Important! Make the choice for the most light pink shade, which will prevent the walls from looking dull. And if on gray canvases there will be a picture of pink flowers with neat green leaves, then the room will still breathe freshness.

• Yellow and orange are sunny and warm. The combination of these colors is most often used in the kitchen and living room, as these tones charge us emotionally and arouse appetite.

Important! The design of the living room with gray wallpaper can contain an unlimited number of color accents in the interior.

• Wall decoration with gray-blue paintings will not make the room too bright. Blue color, like gray, refers to the cold range, so the room will have a fresh look, in this room there will be a feeling of airiness and cleanliness.
• Perhaps a combination of gray walls and with other colors: green, gold, brown. However, such a combination will require the addition of another shade: beige, cream or white.

Important! With a combination of colors, not only the definition of a harmonious hue is essential, but also the degree of its saturation.Gloomy wallpapers must be lightened due to the pastel palette, light ones should be enriched with bright details.

Floor and wallpaper gray

After you have made a choice in favor of gray walls, the following question arises: what color of the floor should I choose for gray wallpaper? The color scheme of the floor covering is also quite diverse, but we recommend starting with its shade. There are two design options: light and dark floor. You can choose the right one based on the effect that they create:

• Bright floors. Such a coating will be an excellent reflector, in addition, it visually increases the space. And the joint design with gray wallpaper makes the room fresh and clean.

Important! Light-colored floors are not recommended to be combined with walls of cold shades, especially if the windows face the north side of the world. Such an interior will look slightly uncomfortable, although adequate bright and warm accents will help to overcome such a problem.

• Dark floors. They look solid, stable, serve as a contrast to light walls and room decor. We do not recommend combining the dark surface of the floor and the same design of the door, as this will already look dark.

The performance of the floor and walls in one shade will look more than unsuccessful, the interior will simply merge into one faceless spot.

Important! The rule of combining the colors of the floor and walls is their contrast.

Any of the surfaces should be darker: either the floor or the walls.

Otherwise, there are no strict recommendations. With light gray wallpaper, both light and dark tones of the flooring are in perfect harmony. Of course, one should be guided by the style of the room.

Important! Pay special attention to the baseboard that connects the walls and floor. It is desirable that its color be white.

Furniture color: combine correctly with the floor and walls

After finishing the surfaces, it is necessary to solve the following question: how to choose furniture by color to the floor or to the color of the walls? We advise you to pay attention to such rules for combining with walls:

• The color of the furniture must vary with the decoration of the walls. Its color can vary in a darker or lighter direction by several tones.
• Finish in a cool tone in perfect harmony with furniture equipped with glass surfaces and the presence of chrome elements.
• The interior in a modern style allows glossy furniture in milk or white.
• Natural wood furniture with gray wallpaper combined more complexly. First of all, you need to carefully choose the color of the finish. Optimal - fairly light wallpaper with brown notes. Next, go to the furniture - give preference to better light wood.

Important! A brown rug will help to connect wooden furniture and gray walls.

• Natural wood makes the gray interior softer.
• Laconic furniture in black or white. As we already mentioned, the combination of these three tones is very universal, but the rigor of the interior is suitable for an office or living room.
• Original ideas. Furniture items can be contrasting accents. A soft orange sofa, which will radiate warmth and comfort in the room, will successfully harmonize with gray walls.

Important! Very extravagant with gray wallpaper will be combined with red skin, luxurious black velvet, tweed or velor in a gray tone.

Next, we learn how to choose the color of furniture to match the color of the floor. The basic principle of the combination remains the same as when selecting for wall decoration - the shade must be at least a couple of tones lighter or darker. Consider the following combination options:

• Grayish-white coating. Install wenge-colored furniture on such a floor; dazzling white objects will also be a stylish option.
• Light wood floor with a warm shade. Such a coating will decorate the furniture in chocolate color or white. We also allow the design of a room with gray furniture, as the effect of contrast is created: the floor has a warm tone, and the decor is cold.
• Dark cover.If your floor is made of walnut wood, then a pastel palette for furniture items is preferred: beige, white, milk, gently peach. A bright environment is also allowed, the main requirement is its warm tone, because the use of a cold shade will make the interior unnecessarily strict.

Important! A carpet of contrasting color will help to combine walls and floor in a single tone.

Original gray tones of furniture

The design of the room with gray furniture looks very stylish and impressive. At first glance, the strict upholstery of soft headsets made in dark or light gray tones, in fact, seems pretty cozy. And body objects, cabinets, cabinets, chests of drawers and more, in this gamut produce a sense of balance and cleanliness, and even with the appropriate light they create the effect of a marble surface or stone.

Manufacturers of various furniture use such original colors for their products:

• Deep and austere color of wet asphalt.
• Universal metallic.
• Concrete color.
• Light and dark colors.

The design of the room with gray furniture will be appropriate to complement with decorative bright pillows of various sizes. Another technique is pillows in gray.
