Everyone has
favorites. The "go to" places or things that are always the right fit
for their sensibilities. Designers are no different! If asked, they
have a list of favorites for any category in design, whether it's their
favorite show stopping sofas or their most coveted accessories.
Below
is another installment of my monthly "Fab 5 on Five", a compilation of
my favorite things on the fifth of each month. Painting rooms with grey is really current, but if you get the wrong shade you can end up with a color that appears anywhere from baby blue to baby poo.
Grey Paints: Solved.

| 5) Darker grey that is great for accenting: SW 7650 Ellie Gray |
I have been strugging with some greys for my home for a couple of weeks now, and I feel proud that two of my choices are on your list. I am assuming you used selections from this list for the Man Nursery and Hip Dining Room above. If so, which ones?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I did use some of these colors in those spaces! I used Ellie Gray as the darker wall in the Nursery and Silver Plate on the remaining walls. In the Hip Dining Room I used On the Rocks.
ReplyDeleteA little more advice: Paint swatches on the wall and see how the colors react with the light in your space! That can really effect the way the color casts.
Good Luck! -Bonnie
