Gray is in. It’s all the rage.
The cooler and whiter and cleaner the space, the better. Right?
Beautiful. ;-)
However, maybe you disagree.
Maybe you love the look, but it’s a little bit icy. A little bit impersonal. A little sterile.
That would be me.
While I love the look, I like a room that’s not all one-sided; a space that has a combination; a style that appears to have someone’s personality injected into it.
So how do you make this cool, gray palette work for you?
How do you make it lively and personal? How do you make it seem less frigid?
One way: add a touch of warmth.
Wood, brass, warm color, and natural texture can be added to create more of a mix — to create more personality, more diversity, more interest — so you can have the trendy look that’s so popular now without sacrificing the “you” in your home.
Take a look...
