You may have noticed that the pages of fashion magazines are full of gray in all shades imaginable.
It's easier to accept gray in fashion than for the home - especially in the Northwest where gray skies dominate throughout the year. Gray can be drab but only if you accent it with black or keep it monochromatic. Think of gray as you would white. Any color looks good against it. Be bold and combine gray with splashes of color you love but wouldn't dream of decorating with such as fuschia, turquoise or orange. Those pops of color will look great against gray and will brighten the gloomy days of winter.
There is a blog for every imaginable topic and gray is no exception. To see some great examples of stylish gray interiors, visit www.greigedesign.blogspot.com.
