For the record, I still love grays as a grounding neutral. If you want a warm, cozy interior- specify grays tinted with browns and beige (greige). If you love the modern, industrial vibe - pair grays with black and chrome accents.
What are some of your favorite ways to update gray?
I should have mentioned I have the (greige) color on the wall & neutral furniture adding some blue/ green color with curtains, rug & pillows.
I update the gray walls and sofa with color in the wall art
In my kitchen I have Glidden Soft Sage on the Walls. Upper Cabinets is Canyon Echo, & bottom cabinets is Roma Haze Gray. The top cabinets are just a little lighter than the bottom ones. The types of Gray are more of a warmed up gray, like a putty Gray. Brushed Nickel round knobs. Everyone even on Social Media said they loved it. The countertop is a dark brown multi that came with the house. In my Living Room & Hallway I have Sherwin Williams - Crushed Ice. A very pale shade of Gray. We had to carry down the hallway as it’s kind of open concept. We have wood end tables & colorful art on the walls to warm it up. The carpet is also a light beige.❤
This video wasn't just about ideas; it offered practical advice on DIY decorating with gray. From furniture choices to wall accents, the tips were down-to-earth and gave me the confidence to refresh my home without a major overhaul.
That’s awesome and exactly what I was going for Nicholas 🙌🏻 thank you for stopping by!
Great video. You didn't bash those with gray unlike tons of other designers...you gave practical way to update my space without spending tons of money. THANK You
Well, we can’t all change our homes at the drop of a dime. But we can elevate it with strategic touches 🙌🏻🩶
I found the color palette suggestions in the video truly inspiring. Learning how to mix and match different shades of gray with pops of color revitalized my home decor and the simple explanations made it accessible even for someone with limited design knowledge.
Yay, that’s awesome Heather! Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻🩶
Hi Julie
The pictures of these rooms had some really beautiful grey features. Like you said just adding that organic warmth in wood or natural materials made a difference. I especially loved those green dining chairs. What a transformation ! I’m sure plenty of viewers have been inspired by this posting. I never knew how well the orange browns went with grey. I always thought only black and white were good matches. So glad to see how this is done bc I think this would work with blues too! 🥰🥰
It definitely depends on what shade of gray you’re currently working with. Cool tones need the warmth of wood and even some rust-colored elements. I love how gray looks paired with color, very chic 🩶
Julie, I was smiling from ear to ear watching this video. Thank you for all the great tips!!!
Thank you for watching Paula 🙏🏻😊
Awesome Awesome video Julie! Our entire 3 level house has the same Sherwin-Williams gray everywhere and I love it so much because I've used furniture, rugs and wall decor to liven and cozy up our home while the neutral gray keeps continuity through out and makes the open concept spaces even more light and airy! Even with bold color choices in some rooms, the gray can handle it! I agree with everything you said and I totally appreciate you recognizing that millions of homes now are still "very gray leaning" and you gave practical affordable ways to update or change things slightly without suggesting major remodeling. Sitting in front of a gray couch with your always lovely gray highlights was also a very nice touch!!!! Bravo!
Haha gray ain’t going anywhere Trasee! Gotta work with what we have and allow the space to feel fresh and exciting with rotating accessories 👏🏻
Great content. I just remodeled last year and lightened my whole house up, which I love. But now I see that the darker colors are coming in and I want to be on trend but I don’t want to darken my house again. I love your advice! I have warm white to tan walls and neutral furniture. I do have a mix of dark and light wood so I am going to go to my art, to add color and then pull in my drapes and accessories. Thank you again!!
I went moody in my bedroom and kept it light and bright everywhere else! Keeps the house looking fresh and happy 😊
I'm really glad I found this video on updating with gray in home decor. The easygoing style and practical suggestions make it feel like so doable. The visuals and creative ideas presented have given me a whole new perspective on using gray.
Seeing is believing 🙌🏻🩶
And you hit that one out of the park again ...!
So I actually really love gray, and I have a lot of it throughout my space. I just find it so sexy, sophisticated, and in my home anyway, masculine. To infuse color, I've chosen mostly shades of teal throughout, with tiny touches of my favorite color deep purple. To warm it up I have some wood furniture and brass hardware. And for a touch of whimsy I have a few unexpected elements like crystal figurines. In my space the gray becomes the backdrop, allowing everything else to pop ...
Regardless of whatever might be "IN" at the moment, I think the best colors to use will always just be the colors you love.
Masculine when the gray leans cool, feminine when tinted with brown- I find gray so versatile 👏🏻🩶
I really appreciate very much your advice and suggestions, Julie. Flooring in my home is white 24"porcelain tiles with hues of Grey, which is absolutely classy and beautiful. I have always liked Grey.
Your enthusiasm is infectious.
Great show.
Beautiful and timeless Betty! 🫶🏻🩶
I love earth colors. I hope you’ll come up with decorating with green soon. Thank you ❤
Green is up next Maria 💚
Unusual and unique ideas for grey. I have been feeling funny about this with other's opinion. I'm now enlightened!
Gray is lovely as the supporting cast. I don’t see main character energy tho, I need a warmer hue involved 🤔
I love navy with gray tones
So chic! Add something warm like rust for some contrast 🧡
Yes I did the grey furniture & grey floors… I have a grey house …. lol but I got on the grey train in 2002…..& just as you said highlighted with trending colors… I will always love grey…. Thanks for sharing!!!
Now we can start adding on some more fun colors to freshen up the neutral! Which is what I love about gray as well, it’s versatile!
i painted my walls gray in my open floor plan b/c no matter what colors i change in pillows fabric ect. gray compliments those colors
It’s a nice departure from basic white 🙌🏻
I'm grateful to this video because I thrifted a new queen bed that's grey from top to bottom for my space that's been mostly natural woods... It was a steal but I kept feeling like it was a mistake and you reassured me on ways I can make it better❤ Love your vids!
Great video and confirms that when combined with either pastels or jewel tones it can look great. I personally love the grey tones with off white , black and light brown combinations which is in my japandi decor. Updating and switching up the colors is part of the fun of keeping everything fresh and new.
Absolutely! Browns and creams warm gray right up! Very chic combination 🩶🤎🤍🖤
Thanks for another great video Julie, you’ve given us a lot of good ideas that we plan to use on our mom’s interior.
Awesome 👏🏻 my Mom’s house was my laboratory back in the day. It went gray for a bit 😅 Now it’s blank slate white lol
Thanks for not bashing grey decor. Great video.
Thanks for watching! I still love gray, just not from floor to ceiling 🩶
Well your nail polish with that grey is FLAWLESS!!!
I find this so interesting, because that trend did not make it in Europe, at all! No grey floors or walls or furniture. Maybe a couch or chairs or just a 'touch' of textiles. Never too much.
Here, wood tones all over, either on modern decor or traditional. And traditional is really taking over right now!
Traditional is where my heart lies, so happy the youngins now are on board 🤎 It went REALLY cold and stark here in the US with a decade of grays. I’m trying to spread the light! 🌟✨🙌🏻😂
I’ve never been into gray. I’ve always leaned into earthy tones. I find my taste evolving into less is more. Less pattern, more solids and texture but still warmer tones. I personally love cream, rust and blue together.
Absolutely love this vlog Julie! I was guilty of jumping on the grey bandwagon a few years ago and yes we have an upholstered grey bed! Your advice couldn’t have come at a better time as we will be redecorating the master bedroom soon but the bed was really expensive so it’s staying put. Will definitely be taking your tips on board on how we can work with what we have. Looking forward to your next vlog ❤
You saw that gray bed segment Samta?! So much you can layer on with gray to make it recede, but still feel very stately 🩶 I’m warming up to cognac colored nightstands and a royal blue quilt! So chic 😍
I've liked a range of grey for quite awhile now. I've paired it with neutrals,pastels and aqua/ gold.( remember that combo with the chocolate? Yep, I did that too. But, recently I've paired it with neutrals,metallic and crystals in my home and lots of plants. I got lots of compliments so that will stay awhile. Besides it matches my hair now!!lol💜💜💜
Haha gotta love a space that matches your personality (and hair woohoo 🙌🏻)
I have a grey bedroom with eggplant accent and I love it! Grey, in my opinion, goes with pretty much any color.
Absolutely! Gray needs an accent color (or two) to really come alive! 🩶💜
I love grey, thank you for all the wonderful tips.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching Tammy 🩶
@@JulieKhuu 🌷
I love gray too 😊 I like pairing and updating it with various hues of wood.
Just not gray wood 😂
I think decorating with gray feel approachable and enjoyable. Liked it julie!
Yay, thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you for the ideas. You are very realistic in your recommendations
Glad you like them! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻🩶
I just bought a gray velvet headboard to add a bit of change to my all white bedroom and painting a gray accent wall. I was worried that throwing a few beige blankets around might not work, but looks like maybe it might warm it up and look ok!
Bronze fixtures look really good with gray too. We just did our master bathroom and it looks great.
Oh yes! 🙌🏻
I absolutely luv Gray from light to dark, cool to warm, I'll take it all. My last home in Wyoming (I left Cali in 12/2018 I moved there, my son was stationed there in US AIR FORCE) he purchased his first home in 2019 at the age of 23, 2 weeks after his bday. I decorated in Grays about 75%. I have dark walnut furniture that matched the dark walnut hardwood floors and kitchen cabinetry, the new appliances stove, microwave, dishwasher, refridgerater, were all stainless steel and the farmhouse sink was a greystone. It was so easy for me to just add what I already had from my Cali apt. As for color the only thing I will use for decor are my Crystals; Amethyst #1, Rose Quartz #2, Citrine #3, Smokey Quartz #4, and all Black Stones for protection. Because I am such a believer in Feng Shui since the '80s. I found FengShui or it found me shortly after high school grad 1982 I tend to follow all of its decor rules. I've never liked mirrors so you only see a mirror in the restrooms. I have luved Brass & Copper since I was a little girl. Have a great day Julie.
You sound like a girl after my own heart Dahlia! I love how intentional you are about bringing in more color through crystals! 😍💎🫶🏻
Moving into a new house that has walnut kitchen cabinets and beige tone countertops. Challenge is still incorporating my medium gray kitchen table and couches into the space.
Perfect timing! I was watching your video in the process of ordering new bedding. We have gray walls, gray couch (cause I have kids, dog and cats so the couches are coming from Costco right now😄). And then you mentioned the gray headboard - guilty! Though mine has wood too. But even though it was a quick purchase, I only want to replace it if I find something antique that I love. I was about to buy a stormy blue comforter to go with a patterned duvet cover I just bought I looked around. Now I am seeing this color everywhere online right now but I already have a lot of it as an accent color - it’s the color of my leather coffee table, it’s in an armchair, I painted one side of my huge kitchen island the same blue, and then it is the color of the fabric of my outdoor furniture. My master is right off the main living area. So I decided to go with a stone/cream solid to go with the bedding so that my house wouldn’t look just blue and gray 😂 thanks for the help!
Haha sounds like you’re ready for another bold accent hue!! Maybe rust or cognac in the form of leather or velvet? 😍
@@JulieKhuu I ordered some tan leather pillows last week 😁
Thank you for this. I've always loved grey as a basic. There are some youtube decorator's who told people to STOP using cool greys. I would never use a decorator who eliminates a whole color tone, because sometimes its needed. Thamk you !
I can make a case for any and ALL colors! 🌈Can’t get on board with cancel culture though, it’s just not realistic when we have to work with what we have 🤗
I have a light gray bathroom with tan and light blues. We also carried those colors into our living room with accents of beige
The beige will warm those cool tones right up 👏🏻
Love this! Especially your examples. Very helpful. I'd like to know more about how to combine different colors. Like you mentioned yellows, oranges? More please! ❤😊
I’m loving sunset hues for 2024! I’ll line Orange and yellow up next Joy! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻✨
@@JulieKhuu I love blue's & greens. So definitely like to learn how to add the pop of yellow/orange 🧡
Julie, I challenge you to the purple family, cools and warms! Have fun!!
Oof ok I got this 😅💜
i am trying to add more chrome silver etc. great video this week!
Silver is HOT for 2024! I made a video about it, design trends with staying power coming up next week Carol! 🩶
2021 we painted our bedroom grey and i love it. Clay grey walls and wardrobe and grey wallpaper on the wall behind the bed. Wallpaper have a little bit gold pattern in. Dark blue headboard. Brass handleds on drawers brass lighting except white ceiling lamp. Dark wood drawers and floor and Lavendel purple ceiling bedding and paintings whit different colored flowers including yellow and purple. White trim and curtains. Feels like a romantic cave :)
Sounds lovely! You illustrated how to use gray sparingly, but in a meaningful way 👏🏻
We moved into a new house 3 years ago & every wall & ceiling is grey!!! Fortunately the kitchen cabinets are a shade of white to relieve the gray. I’m finally ready to get bids to change the ceiling color
Should be the easiest change for a complete transformation Marilynn! 🙌🏻
Thank you for the wonderful video, Julie! Grey is honestly my least favourite color, both in interior and exterior. To me it often feels lifeless, cold, unnatural, and office-like, everything a home should not be. However, grey can work really well when present in materials that often are grey in their raw or natural state. Examples being stone, tile, cement, wool, and aged wood
Exactly. Look to nature to see how grays blend with other naturals hues. You’ll be surprised to see that they’re never ALL gray! 🙌🏻
I moved into my townhouse 5 years ago and the interior was painted with 3 different hues of gray.. It is attractive but can make the inside feel very dark depending on the time of day and sunshine, or lack of. The previous owner also tiled small gray granite stone around the fireplace....I feel stuck. Your video was very informative...Thank You!
Keep the stone, paint the walls Nancy! That stone will look so elevated as a result 🩶
I made a teal ottoman cover with piping to go with the sofas (came as 3 piece). Am going to make covers for the sofas in a light neutral (not sure what colour yet as I’m making the neutral curtains first). Also replacing the saggy seat cushions and lowering the back cushions for a more modern look at the same time. Just painted a blanket box charcoal that I’m using for a coffee table so it reads dark grey to black during the day. Looks great. Painting the walls white toned down the grey. Put a tree next to one sofa. Only got grey sofas as they were the only colour they came in.
Sounds like you have more color than grays Fiona! Which would make the chairs act as a background. Try adding colored throw blankets to pull more color into the LR 👏🏻
@@JulieKhuu Yes, thanks! Have some throws, and cushions and going to make some especially in velvet and leather. I’ve made a black woven faux leather cushion front but haven’t finished the back yet. I’ve got some colour in my artwork. I’m going to make a long office desk with a light grey marble laminate kitchen bench for my bedroom. It’s subtle but will be perfect.
Hey Julie, I LOVED this video. Great advice.
Thank you for watching and commenting Gina 🙏🏻🩶
I love gray with a white trimming
Grays started long before 2010. I was looking for a new house in 2002. I looked at a model home that was painted stem to stern with gray. I was smitten. So there has been some version of gray moving through our homes for the last 20 years. I expect it will be with us for many years to some degree or other.
Gray isn’t going anywhere. It will resurface with varying shades 🩶
I have grey walls in living room dining room combo I use woods and different colors though out it Thank you for sharing tips.
❤
I love rich walnut paired with grays, such a chic combination when the woods aren’t too distressed ☺️🩶
Hi Julie, great content! I would like to see designs with the color taupe!!!
I did a few in 2023, check out how to make neutral not boring to start ☺️🤎
I will! ❤
Tx so much my bed is grey, i just got some good tips from your video to redecorate it.❤❤❤
Yay awesome! What colors are you thinking to add?
No thanks on pink accents but I love adding the right shades of blue and yellow along with colorful art work. Thanks for this great video!
Thank you for watching Paula! 🙏🏻🩶
Ive made all the grey mistakes, grey on grey on grey. No color pops. Definitely on the hunt on how to warm up my cold home in practical ways. 🥴
Find a palette you love (take a screenshot from this video!) to help direct your next design moves 🤗
I love grey. Thinking of redoing my kitchen painting the pantry cupboards with olive green and my floor has yellow tiles and the walls are yellow too. Just want to try the olive green ❤
Try an olive green gray, best of both worlds 🙌🏻🩶💚
Julie, you have taught me so much in every way I wished to know! May I know if you ever decorate little cottages that old, contained rooms and no entry foyer, stairs in back and two masters masters upstairs? I could use your input! I could send to you videos of our cottage! 1300 sq feet! We are mature grandparents 😊
Feel free to send me images over Instagram, your home just might make it in a future video for my input Jann 🤗
I love how you provide so many great examples. I also love your necklace. Would you share where you found it?
Yes, Julie's necklace is beautiful! Please do share ☺
It’s byChari - the original spaced letter necklace. I stacked both my daughters’ names 😊
Hello, Mrs Julie! Can you make video for decorating with gree and natural , yellow please! Thank you so much!
Yup, it’s coming up! 💚
Hi Julie,
I just love grey ❤❤❤
My kitchen was a light wood colour and my husband just hated
I decided to paint the whole lot in grey until we have money to refurbish our kitchen
My current sofa is grey but I mixed with mustard curtains and cushions
Next colour maybe green?
Thanks ❤❤❤
I bet the mustard really livens the gray Flavia! 💛
Great suggestions. Thank you
I never did gray tones but I think they are pretty when mixed with with blues
Gray can lean masculine, it’s about finding the perfect shade with brown/ beige undertones 🩶
I love all your videos…
How about featuring aqua with gray or blush with gray. Would love to see what you’d do with that. TY.
I love blush with gray, great way to add some femininity to the space when it starts reading cold 💗
Every image where you said, “this is the incorrect way to incorporate grey,” made me think, “how beautiful.” And every image you suggested a whole bunch of colours that I would _never_ want to see in my home alongside grey, you said, “this looks beautiful.” 😂 I guess I’ll stick to my unsophisticated style.
I was so sick of GREY! I repainted my living room wall white and it went from a sad room to a bright and happy place. I painted the wall in my kitchen black. It became dramatic! The slanted wall going up my stairs was awful. I painted it black. WOW. My home went from drab to FAB!
Sounds like the right moves!! Y’all know how I feel about black! 🖤🖤🖤
I LOVE black
what about new wall colors for s kitchen with grey cabinets?
@JulieKhuu what software do recommend for a new interior designer?
I’m old school, I still draft in autocad 😉 Adobe suite products are a must-have as well for rendering and mood boards
I have a Gray sofa with gold nailheads that I love; so I added some emerald green pillows & a throw as a pop color. What other color looks good with gray & emerald green? Most of the wood in my kitchen and dining room is mahogany brown.
Pink!! Perfect combination to add a touch of feminine glam 🩶💚🩷
❤thank you I ha ve grays..but I did have my hubby give me some warm whites color on the walls but kept one room and did the windows wall that warm white I love using browns so I have incorporated browns, gold pieces in decor .. I am stuck with two patterned chairs in my living room.😊 but I did paint that room also in warm white so the chairs are accepting for now 😅,I have a off white couch so I have pulled in warmer colors in pillows .. oh my goodness design trends are so funny.. but that’s life’s chances
Ok thank you for up dates …❤be blessed
Gold is an instant gray-warming update Emma! Nice move 👏🏻
Je découvre votre chaine... En ce qui me concerne, j ai un sofa en tissu gris clair que j aime beaucoup.. et pour le moderniser, je l ai accessoirisé avec un grand coussin en cuir marron et une table basse en bois .
Votre vidéo est vraiment instructive et très intéressante 👍.
Merci beaucoup pour tous ces conseils.
Une nouvelle abonnée 🤗🇨🇵
Thank you so much for watching! I love how rich woods have the capacity to warm up cool, neutral spaces 🩶
Great info!
Thank you for watching Donna 🙏🏻🩶
My contractor picked a wrong wood tone and now I’m stuck with some huge pieces of furniture (to the ceiling) which is in a reddish brown (pls look up Canadian walnut from An Cuong for reference). We still have night stands, tv cabinets, sofa and dining table to design. Can you please advise how we fix it?
Nothing a huge area rug (in a color palette you love) can’t fix Huong! Try something lighter than the floors and furniture to break up the wood tones
@@JulieKhuu thanks so much Julie for your advice. Lighter shades of furniture are something I thought of and it was a relief that you confirmed that. 😊 Although I love the area of a big area rug to tight everything together, I’m in a conundrum- It’s scotching where I live and my hair is everywhere. I’ll definitely sleep on that and see what we can do.
Thank you for this inspiring video. I have a dark grey velvet sofa with 2 swivel accent chairs in lighter grey. My current rug is a silk Kashmiri rug that has a medallion pattern in Blue hues intertwined with Beige and ecru, that is a 7.5 'x 9.5'. I've been meaning to layer this rug over a plain 9x11 feet rug so that I can have my furniture sit on the plain rug. I had initially thought I would get a dove grey woven rug... Amy advise Julie? Would a light beige/ecru woven rug be a better complement over a beige travertine floor?? Thank you
Go for jute or sisal! Did you see how woven materials look against the grays in this video? I would say less gray, more warm tones if you’re going ecru
Thank you Julie!! ❤ I "saw" it immediately as I read your suggestion...Love love love it!!❤
I love grey too... Thank you for your ideas for warming it up. Have lots if plans now 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for watching! 🩶
I have grey upholstery bed 🛌 😊
Perfect backdrop to layer in more color! What did you think of the blues/rust combo? 🤗
New subscriber 💃💃
Welcome!! Hope to see you in the comments love 💕
@@JulieKhuu Thank you so much!
I don't like grays - I think they're cold. I prefer warm colors like creams, beiges, etc. I'm loving the pantone color of 2024, peach fuzz. As a warm toned person (color analysis/ theory - I'm an autumn), I love peach fuzz! I bought peach material & sewed them into curtains. Seeing them made me happy.
@Julie, you asked for suggestions & you said that warm sunset colors will be the next "in". Can you do a vid on peach fuzz/ peach? (I've seen some peach + green home designs.) Btw, have you been color analyzed? I think you're a winter. Thnx for the vid!
I’m adding sunset hues to this color series Kitty! I always considered myself more autumn than winter, but have never been professionally analyzed! That’s fascinating 😍
@@JulieKhuu oh, I'm tickled that you answered my post. Re: color analysis, I think you're similar to Fan Bing Bing (the actress) and Jisoo of Blackpink. Both are certified winters. I've seen many of your vids. You shine in winter colors, while when you wear autumn colors, you look a bit "off". Still looks good but not optimal. Hope I didn't offend, and it would be interesting if you (and your staff) get color analyzed!
How do you keep White (walls) from feeling cold or sterile?
Add colorful art, even neutral pieces with contrasting texture can work beautifully in an all white space Beatrice
This is why I stick with browns tans and white…and when it becomes out of style I add color with pillows, bedding and other less expensive things
That’s the fun of decor, we can change it up using things we already own 🩶
Color as you said, swings from one to another naturally. We get tired of a look and the collective eye wants something else.
Yup, and I’ll make another video to support where the trends lean 😂
Grey goes with any colour even gold
“Everything Joanna Gaines touched…” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Queen of farmhouse, she led a movement you can’t deny it! 👏🏻🤍
Hi Julie How but pink bathroom from the 90ties
I love it!! What’s your question? Keep the tile , paint the walls?!
My sister has a beautiful house and the decor was classic traditional the first few years they moved in. A few years later she had gray was everywhere! It totally changed the beautiful rich look to an industrial look. Gray is not a nice color for home decor.
Too much feels cold, but walls can always be painted over for a complete change! That’s the power of paint, inexpensive, but impactful 🩶
Grey with orange I cannot .it screams Howard Johnsons 😂
I had to look that up, I had no idea what you were talking about! 😂 Charcoal gray + Burnt Sienna is a whole nother vibe though lol
Next how to incorporate bright colors, in a modern/contemporary way, into very neutral warm spaces
Artwork is the easiest way to bring in more color. But sourcing it is what can be challenging. I’ll work on an art roundup next! 🖼️

I’m sorry gray reminds me of being between life & death limbo that’s it IMO
Why do nearly all the Interior designers and Influencers decorate with all white/cream couches, chairs and carpet? How do people keep it clean with children? It is soooo beautiful but not at all practical for everyday living.
Designer’s tip: specify all performance fabrics. So easy to remove and launder 🤍
I love grey!!! Still have it and use it. I love that this is not a grey hate video as so many are. I am re painting my bedroom which was a darker grey but I am going lighter. My living area will be a light grey but I have colour accents in art, upholstery and lots of black. To me it feels balanced, comforting and still elegant. I just can not jump on the beige trend. even though it is not like the old beige. It just not make me feel comfortable.
Once you find a shade you love (gray or beige), you’ll find other items to complement the look. I can make a case for just about any color, the art is in the mix 😉
I still like gray. I just color drenched a large part of my master bedroom in Behr’s Antique Tin! It’s better than beige to me. What can I say? Just call me a rebel! 😎
Ooh you’s a baddie! 🙌🏻🩶
My favorite way to liven up my gray is with vibrant colors. In my gray bedroom, I have a bag my mother brought me from the Philippines. It’s got a lot of colors, but it’s primarily hot pink. It’s a featured accessory hanging on my closet door. I also have art from the 1960’s with complimentary tones on the wall. Like you said, use it as a neutral and let it feature whatever you choose to layer on top. It’s also nice to use gray that has warmer tones, like in your friend’s custom design from 2010.
Beige is beautiful too as a neutral, but when the whole room is one color/ one note- we lose interest and it becomes sad and stale. I think that’s what happened to gray. We didn’t know what to pair it with so it was more grays, blacks, and whites! Yikes!
I love classic charcoal grey and caramel with warm gold accents. Fantastic uplifting video!
Classic combination 🩶💛👏🏻
Julie, Julie, Julie, you've done it again! Wonderful content, inspiring and practical. You keep it real, there's always something for folks on a budget. I love how you vibed off that Persian carpet. I'd seen those red painted recessed areas before but didn't know the context. Beautiful and auspicious!
Thank you so much Susan! I hope to offer more ideas for working with what you already have 🤗🩶
You are my favourite interior designer in this space with your amazing smashing of points. I loved how you explained Feng Chui concepts.
Be blessed.
Thank you so much for your love and support 🙏🏻🩷💕
Greyt (haha) advice and examples. Grey is a neutral the same as white, beige, black, and wood. A foundation on which you build the colour story with accents. I’ve been in homes that are all white or all wood and find them to be as lifeless and drab as some people make grey out to be. Put colour where you want the focus.
You know gray is overdone when you feel like you are in a black and white photo!
Yes!! This is the statement that I was trying to make! 🙌🏻👏🏻😂
Hi Julie, i love neutrals and i stay away from "trendy" colors that will be out within two years. I think the best colors are the ones we love.
Yes, but some of the colors we love now may have been re-introduced to us in a “trendy” manner. Can’t escape what the market dictates since they all trickle down into the design shops 😀
Great video! My bathroom is gray marble with other colors running through it. I like the idea of green plants or plants on the countertop, adding bamboo blinds to the small window. You always help me in my home. Thanks so much.
The woven shades will bring some warmth as well. Amazon has a bunch of options in all sizes Yvonne!
I never got on the gray trend. It seemed too sterile. Im still on the khaki and tan trend..old school. I've only seen a few people that can decorate with gray and make it look warm and inviting. I do like the charcoals and grieges. Done right, it can be really beautiful. Love your examples of rooms done right with gray.
With khaki and beige the trend has caught back up to you. I am seeing a lot of those tones now. Just goes to show- stick with what you love and you won't regret it.
I agree, greige is so easy to pair. Cool gray is where it feels industrial and masculine 🩶
