Gorgeous gray rooms are all the rage this year. Peruse any interior design magazine and you’ll see bedrooms, hallways, kitchens and baths in all different shades of gray – and trust me, there are many ranging from a dark slate to an almost silver shade. No longer considered a drab color - gray brings a modern elegance and will enliven any space. And, it's the perfect palette to pair with different textures and bold or muted colors. We even designed our office using an array of grays. 

Here are a few rooms to inspire your home design. Click here to follow us on Pinterest for more interior design tips.
