Grey Accents

Grey Accents

Grey & all its shades, is a great neutral colour you can use in your home interiors time & time again, from your walls, to furnishings to your home accessories! It is why grey has been a huge trend in our interiors and we continue to use it, as it pairs well with whites & creams, as well as pastels. Grey shades also help create serene, calming and balanced atmospheres. 

Did you know grey, is not technically a colour, because it's combined with white and black, it is what is called an achromatic colour, meaning literally that it is a colour, 'without colour', however, be as it may, it works well at bringing warmth into your home, where your palette may be drawn towards the neutral side of home decorating. We don't blame you for adding it in around your home, we do like a bit of grey, but we are British after all, grey skies are our inspiration!

Painted cupboards in kitchens are a great way to add depth to your kitchen. Grey is a very versatile colour for kitchens, you can go light grey to add a touch of warmth or if you're looking for more contrast within your kitchen, especially if you have an open plan kitchen/dining area, accented dark grey on cupboards and appliances, can create the perfect day to evening colour palette.  

 

We use grey tableware, as a way of working colour in, with our white plates and serving platters. By doing so, it adds depth and warmth to your dining table. Our 'pinch' range, designed by renowned UK potter, Linda Bloomfield, offers you the simple sleek white ceramic outside and a grey glazed inside, therefore giving you the best of both colour worlds.
