It’s not quite grey, but it’s not quite beige – it is, however, fantastic. It’s ‘greige’ – the perfect mix of the words grey and beige, and also the perfect colour to go with a wide range of other colours, finishes and textures.
How to Go Greige
You can incorporate greige in lots of different ways, from paint to furniture and fabrics. Paints are a great way to add this amazing colour to a room, as it gives you a neutral base which can be combined with almost any other colour you want. Combining greige with grey, black and white provides a smooth and sophisticated look through the numerous neutral tones, but some of the best combinations can be achieved through mixing greige with bright colours.
Adding a Splash of Colour
Make a statement through having a colour pop in your room by adding a bright, lively colour through furniture, rugs or bedding. Orange and greige are a match made in heaven, while lemon yellow creates a vibrant, summery feel perfect for living rooms. Adding vibrancy is a great way to draw attention to things, for example a feature piece of furniture can be made the centrepiece of a room if it is set against the right background. Eye-catching colours such as purple, green, or pink are brought to life and brighten a room considerably when mixed with greige.
Mixing Greige with Finishes
Greige combines fantastically with several different textures and finishes, for example dark wood and gloss whites. A great way to create these combinations is with cabinets or storage furniture – in kitchens this can be done with doors or worktops, and combining with wood flooring in other rooms is easily done.
