Gray is soothing, sophisticated and chic.  You may think gray interiors are rather boring, but if done right and mixed with the correct balance of color and accessories, gray interiors can be quite sensational.  Gray continues to be a top color choice among designers and there are many variations of the color from which to choose to make your interiors sing.

Gray is a neutral color and therefore can be combined with just about any other color.  The various shades of gray, ranging from dove to charcoal, make it a chameleon of sorts for many room designs.  Gray makes the perfect backdrop for displaying vivid colors and keeping them from becoming overbearing.

Yellow brings sunshine and a sense of fun to contemporary gray interiors.  Bright yellow brings punch to mid-tone grays while softer yellow combined with light gray creates a soothing and pleasantly bright interior.

A monochromatic gray color scheme is the epitome of sleek sophistication.  Dark charcoal gray walls enhance a room with varying shades of lighter dove gray and mid-tone grays for depth.  The result is refined sophistication.
