It might sound boring, but a simple grey-and-white color combination is an excellent palette to use throughout your home. Whether you like neutrals or not, let’s have a look at ways that this combination could be a great styling tweak to try in your space.
Besides the fact that grey and white coordinate well with just about all other colors, making the pairing especially easy for you to rotate through your seasonal decor without too much of a headache, but its also a very versatile color scheme. You can pick anything to base around this color scheme like furniture, wall paint, rugs, or accent decor. And just because these are neutral colors does not mean that your entire space will end up looking neutral or sterile. You can add as much accent color as you wish with greenery, linens, and other personal décor that you have.
Let’s see how these homeowners incorporated grey and white into their living room styles and if you see any items or layouts that you like feel free to give them a go in your home!
