Why grey?
The color has been surfacing as an increasingly talked-about color in home finishes lately. And I have a few ideas why.
To its credit, grey gives a softer-than-white contrast from the bold power choices of turquoise and yellow that are trending as popular in home decor.
Or maybe we’ve been seduced by the lure of the idea of grey because of Erika Leonard and her ‘50 Shades of Grey.’
And maybe the economy is less frisky, so we’re looking for calmer, relaxing hues to surround our family’s hearth.
Whatever the reason, designers are looking at grey as an increasingly popular choice for home finishes. And the product designers are giving us more options when it comes to the shades of grey. At the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show, Wellborn showcased their new shades of grey including Willow.
While some designers say ‘grey is the new white,’ it’s not exactly taking over white in market share or popularity. But it’s a hue that might be perfect as a backdrop for your next remodeling project.
I like the kitchen and floor design, but the color is not my type.
