Gorgeous Accent Colours for Dark Grey Rooms

(via Pics Decor)

While dark grey is a bold and daring design choice on its own, adding a gorgeous accent colour can take a room's wow-factor to the next level.

Along with black and white, grey is considered a true neutral, and therefore, plays well with many colours.  However, deeper shades of grey require an equally strong complementing hue in order to create a visually appealing combination.

The following images show a kaleidescope of beautiful colours that each shine brilliantly when mixed with the moody sophistication of dark grey.

I hope the possibility of adding a gorgeous accent colour to your dark grey room inspires you to design a space that reflects your own beautiful sense of style.   

The Softer Side of Grey

Grey is considered the colour of compromise, balancing comfortably between the extremes of black and white.

The new neutral, grey has made a strong appearance in almost every aspect of interior design.

 

Warm grey walls appear classic and refined when framed by substantial, crisp white millwork.

Mixed with burnished or antique gold, grey is soft, subtle and sophisticated.

Rich, dark woods look stunning against shimmering shades of silver and grey. 

Grey painted cabinetry and doors add dimension and interest, and are a popular finish in 

new home design.

Combine light grey, creamy white, and warm beige for an understated colour palette that's
easy to live with.

Docile grey walls are a smart compliment to the stainless steel and marble finishes in a

timeless white kitchen.

 

Walls covered in a metallic finish add a touch of glamour to a bedroom layered in

soft and silky neutrals. 

If you're interested in adding this latest colour trend to your home, consider a light grey with warm undertones to enhance your existing design scheme.

You won't be disappointed if you stay on the softer side of grey.

Decorating with Dark Grey Walls

A deep, earthy grey is chic and sophisticated.  It's a daring colour for walls, but the effect is impressively dramatic.

Black and white photography looks amazing against a charcoal background.  The sharp contrast responds beautifully to direct sunlight.

Rich, grey cabinets soften the stark elements of a classic white kitchen.  Cararra marble adeptly unifies the strong colour palette.

When a space is layered in shades of grey, lighter wood tones and gold accents help create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Dark grey adds a masculine feeling to a library.  Shimmering window treatments and a light and luxurious area rug successfully balance the space.

A traditional dining room becomes edgy and elegant when deep, sultry grey is mixed with creamy neutrals.  Glistening glassware and an over sized mirror naturally reflect light throughout the space.

Sparkling accents and glossy white finishes create instant glam when paired with a wallpaper inspired by men's suiting fabric.

Painting walls in such an intense colour isn't a choice I'd typically consider.  But, for those who love a space with undeniable presence and style, dark grey makes a powerful statement.  It's an enticing option...

Are you tempted to go bold in your home?
