Grey in interior design - a never ending trend

At first glance, it may appear neutral. In reality, it has enormous potential to give interiors a unique character. Grey is an ideal example of a colour that subtly combines style with functionality. Which colour and material combinations work best? You will find the answer below.

A versatile colour that works for any style? Grey! It is one of those colours that remain timeless, despite the passage of time and changing trends in interior design. It accompanies us all the time, regardless of whether we are dealing with a classic, minimalist space or a modern, industrial interior.

Versatile, elegant and eye-catching. Grey is one of the most neutral colours that provides the perfect backdrop for other decorative elements in any space, highlighting their characteristics and qualities. Unlike bright colours - which can quickly become boring or simply go out of fashion - grey will always remain on trend. Depending on your needs and preferences, grey can transform the character of an interior, adapting to almost any style, making it a versatile and very practical colour.

Another advantage of grey is that it harmonises perfectly with many colours, materials and textures. Here are some combinations with which the grey shade always looks good:

1. White - the combination of grey and white is the key to a fresh and spacious effect in any interior. This combination is best suited to small rooms that require optical enlargement.
2. Black - grey harmonises equally well with black, adding a distinctive and modern feel to interiors. It is not without reason that these two colours have become a prominent feature of industrial, industrial and loft style interiors, where an austere style prevails.
3. Pastels - in opposition to white and black are pastels, which, however, do not pose any challenge to grey. In this case, it works best as a background for delicate shades such as powder pink or mint. Together, these colours create an atmosphere of lightness, so characteristic of Scandinavian or romantic interiors.
4. Wood - in combination with wood, grey creates an unusual harmony between the raw, modern style and the warmth of natural materials. Grey walls or kitchen countertops combined with wooden furniture or decorative accents are a recipe for a cohesive, elegant arrangement.
5. Stone - grey colours go beautifully with stone, giving the interiors a unique character with a feeling of luxury and modernity. We particularly recommend your attention to our fantastic materials from Architype in grey.
6. Glass and metal - grey combined with glass and metal creates an extremely modern space. These are accents that are very common in industrial or loft style interiors. The sheen of glass and metal adds an unusual lightness and shine to the whole, contrasting with the coolness of the grey.

Grey is a colour that offers great flexibility when it comes to interior design. It is extremely versatile, making it suitable for any room - kitchen, bathroom, living room or bedroom. It is a good base for creating both minimalist designs and slightly more unusual spaces. In addition, it allows for any modifications, depending on changing trends or the tastes of the inhabitants. 

Grey can also be mixed fearlessly with other colours. Neutral shades will gain in expressiveness, while bold colours will maintain the right colour balance. After all, grey is the essence of elegance. In combination with the right details, it adds a touch of class to the interior, making the décor look cohesive and harmonious.
