12 years ago

ok so i'm new to the world of grey paint colour, as i normally stick with warm colours like creams with hits of milky greens or reds. very cottagey. well now that i am working on my bedroom, ive decided to go grey ... am thinking of a light shade but a warm tone. is that possible? any suggestions? i always find light greys to be so cold! help!

I would suggest a blue-gray tone for the bedroom. It's a bit warmer then true gray and very peaceful. You can also mix true gray in as accents like gray pillows or a peice of furniture painted gray. Look up some blue gray Benjamin Moore colors like Beacon Gray, Harbor Haze, Silver Gray or November Skies. Put the names of these colors right into the Houzz search bar to see pictures of them! Good luck!
