It can be difficult to find the perfect balance when it comes to white spaces – warm enough without being too cream, but cool enough without going too airy. Scandinavian white is one of the most popular trends in home design at the moment, and I have to honestly say: I hate it. There’s something about Scandinavian spaces that always feels like there’s no depth, like someone has simply shoved in some basic pieces and left them there.

Navy Blue Room Inspiration
In a completely un-shocking confession: I don’t like colour in interiors.

Why Gray is the Best Neutral Color Ever
If there’s one color that is completely underrated in everything, it’s gray. Although gray has experienced a rise in popularity over the past year, a lot of people are still hesitant in using it in their homes. Why? Because it has a reputation of being dark and dull and boring. But in actual fact, it’s the most easily used neutral color on the planet. Gray goes well with literally every other color. And its shades range from barely-there to completely saturated, blue-gray, green-gray, ‘greige’ – the options are endless.
There’s a reason why it’s my ultimate favorite color, and I’ve collected some inspiration that will hopefully prove to you just why you should be thinking about investing in gray.
Use gray in your kitchen
Use it in your living room
Use it in your bathroom
With a little bit of glitz!
Use it in a nursery
Or a weeny office space
Cover a whole room in it
Or use it to ground a bright/contrasting room
Use it in a soft, light bedroom
Or use it in a dark, comforting space
Wherever you decide to use gray in your home, remember that you can always change up the accent colors to quickly refresh and revive your look! Get excited about gray, because I am.
Love, Vanessa.
