For the record, I still love grays as a grounding neutral. If you want a warm, cozy interior- specify grays tinted with browns and beige (greige). If you love the modern, industrial vibe - pair grays with black and chrome accents. What are some of your favorite ways to update gray?

My favorite way to liven up my gray is with vibrant colors. In my gray bedroom, I have a bag my mother brought me from the Philippines. It’s got a lot of colors, but it’s primarily hot pink. It’s a featured accessory hanging on my closet door. I also have art from the 1960’s with complimentary tones on the wall. Like you said, use it as a neutral and let it feature whatever you choose to layer on top. It’s also nice to use gray that has warmer tones, like in your friend’s custom design from 2010.

Beige is beautiful too as a neutral, but when the whole room is one color/ one note- we lose interest and it becomes sad and stale. I think that’s what happened to gray. We didn’t know what to pair it with so it was more grays, blacks, and whites! Yikes!

I love grey!!! Still have it and use it. I love that this is not a grey hate video as so many are. I am re painting my bedroom which was a darker grey but I am going lighter. My living area will be a light grey but I have colour accents in art, upholstery and lots of black. To me it feels balanced, comforting and still elegant. I just can not jump on the beige trend. even though it is not like the old beige. It just not make me feel comfortable.

Once you find a shade you love (gray or beige), you’ll find other items to complement the look. I can make a case for just about any color, the art is in the mix 😉

I especially loved those green dining chairs. What a transformation ! I’m sure plenty of viewers have been inspired by this posting. I never knew how well the orange browns went with grey.

Even with bold color choices in some rooms, the gray can handle it! I agree with everything you said and I totally appreciate you recognizing that millions of homes now are still "very gray leaning" and you gave practical affordable ways to update or change things slightly without suggesting major remodeling.

And you hit that one out of the park again ...! So I actually really love gray, and I have a lot of it throughout my space. I just find it so sexy, sophisticated, and in my home anyway, masculine. To infuse color, I've chosen mostly shades of teal throughout, with tiny touches of my favorite color deep purple. To warm it up I have some wood furniture and brass hardware. And for a touch of whimsy I have a few unexpected elements like crystal figurines. In my space the gray becomes the backdrop, allowing everything else to pop ... Regardless of whatever might be "IN" at the moment, I think the best colors to use will always just be the colors you love.

Greyt (haha) advice and examples. Grey is a neutral the same as white, beige, black, and wood. A foundation on which you build the colour story with accents. I’ve been in homes that are all white or all wood and find them to be as lifeless and drab as some people make grey out to be. Put colour where you want the focus.

I really appreciate very much your advice and suggestions, Julie. Flooring in my home is white 24"porcelain tiles with hues of Grey, which is absolutely classy and beautiful. I have always liked Grey. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Great show.

Even though I propose the subject, you don't disappoint. ^__^ I really like the pictures you used for this video, and the general concept of turning the gray (or any other neutral for that matter) into the supporting background of the main visual focus. Be it wall art, colorful pillows and throw blanket, rug, wood furniture, or statement curtains. Very inspiring. My only grey element would be a set of grey floor tile in the entry, not the 2010s grey, the 1990s one. When I bought the house, the front door was grey too and the walls were grey-ish turquoise. I changed the door for a fireman red one with stained glass, painted the room cream, with a light brass metallic wall paper and a art nouveau chandelier. No one is looking at the floor, I guarantee you. xD

I absolutely luv Gray from light to dark, cool to warm, I'll take it all. My last home in Wyoming (I left Cali in 12/2018 I moved there, my son was stationed there in US AIR FORCE) he purchased his first home in 2019 at the age of 23, 2 weeks after his bday. I decorated in Grays about 75%. I have dark walnut furniture that matched the dark walnut hardwood floors and kitchen cabinetry, the new appliances stove, microwave, dishwasher, refridgerater, were all stainless steel and the farmhouse sink was a greystone. It was so easy for me to just add what I already had from my Cali apt. As for color the only thing I will use for decor are my Crystals; Amethyst #1, Rose Quartz #2, Citrine #3, Smokey Quartz #4, and all Black Stones for protection. Because I am such a believer in Feng Shui since the '80s. I found FengShui or it found me shortly after high school grad 1982 I tend to follow all of its decor rules. I've never liked mirrors so you only see a mirror in the restrooms. I have luved Brass & Copper since I was a little girl. Have a great day Julie.

I was about to buy a stormy blue comforter to go with a patterned duvet cover I just bought I looked around. Now I am seeing this color everywhere online right now but I already have a lot of it as an accent color - it’s the color of my leather coffee table, it’s in an armchair, I painted one side of my huge kitchen island the same blue, and then it is the color of the fabric of my outdoor furniture.

Gray Gray Gray, this video offered practical insights on choosing the right accents, furnishings, and decor elements to complement the gray palette, making it easy to revamp living space without a major overhaul.

Precisely. So many of us are still living with grays. Who can afford an entire room overhaul every time a color is in/out?! 😉🙌🏻

I love grey. Thinking of redoing my kitchen painting the pantry cupboards with olive green and my floor has yellow tiles and the walls are yellow too. Just want to try the olive green ❤

Try an olive green gray, best of both worlds 🙌🏻🩶💚

I made a teal ottoman cover with piping to go with the sofas (came as 3 piece). Am going to make covers for the sofas in a light neutral (not sure what colour yet as I’m making the neutral curtains first). Also replacing the saggy seat cushions and lowering the back cushions for a more modern look at the same time. Just painted a blanket box charcoal that I’m using for a coffee table so it reads dark grey to black during the day. Looks great. Painting the walls white toned down the grey. Put a tree next to one sofa. Only got grey sofas as they were the only colour they came in.

Sounds like you have more color than grays Fiona! Which would make the chairs act as a background. Try adding colored throw blankets to pull more color into the LR 👏🏻

@@JulieKhuu Yes, thanks! Have some throws, and cushions and going to make some especially in velvet and leather. I’ve made a black woven faux leather cushion front but haven’t finished the back yet. I’ve got some colour in my artwork. I’m going to make a long office desk with a light grey marble laminate kitchen bench for my bedroom. It’s subtle but will be perfect.

Thank you for the wonderful video, Julie! Grey is honestly my least favourite color, both in interior and exterior. To me it often feels lifeless, cold, unnatural, and office-like, everything a home should not be. However, grey can work really well when present in materials that often are grey in their raw or natural state. Examples being stone, tile, cement, wool, and aged wood

Exactly. Look to nature to see how grays blend with other naturals hues. You’ll be surprised to see that they’re never ALL gray! 🙌🏻

I love grey but in my living room for example, I have different tones of orange in my dining room chairs, cushions and throw blanket so that it's not stark. I alsonhave plants and different wood tones

❤thank you I ha ve grays..but I did have my hubby give me some warm whites color on the walls but kept one room and did the windows wall that warm white I love using browns so I have incorporated browns, gold pieces in decor .. I am stuck with two patterned chairs in my living room.😊 but I did paint that room also in warm white so the chairs are accepting for now 😅,I have a off white couch so I have pulled in warmer colors in pillows .. oh my goodness design trends are so funny.. but that’s life’s chances Ok thank you for up dates …❤be blessed

Thank you so much for watching! I love how rich woods have the capacity to warm up cool, neutral spaces 🩶

I have a white kitchen and am building a new house. I am doing a modern home and thinking about oak flooring and wood cabinets. In a modern contemporary way. Cabinets next please

Red and white oak are my go-to’s for flooring. Let me work on some favorite flooring + cabinet combinations to share Donna 🤗

Grays started long before 2010. I was looking for a new house in 2002. I looked at a model home that was painted stem to stern with gray. I was smitten. So there has been some version of gray moving through our homes for the last 20 years. I expect it will be with us for many years to some degree or other.

Gray isn’t going anywhere. It will resurface with varying shades 🩶

Is there a local marketplace (like Facebook marketplace) where you can sell/ barter/trade? I would shop locally before paying all those crazy Int’l shipping costs!
