All-grey living room idea

Light grey is a wonderful shade when getting ideas about a grey colour scheme for your living room. It offers a sense of spacious and airy living that makes a room look relaxing and tranquil. Light grey walls work exceptionally well, especially if you want to combine different shades of grey furnishings as it will create a canvas-like space mix and match contrasting greys.

Dark grey living room idea

Have you always wanted to have a dark and cosy living room? While black is best avoided in the living room, grey is an alternative shade to paint your walls to mooden a room. When painting your living room dark grey, it’s best to do it with caution as it can carry a dull look if it’s not done right. Combine with bright colours including white accents to contrast a dark grey room.

This can be done in many ways including bright sofas to liven up your space as well as vibrant artwork and lamps. If you’ve got a beautiful fireplace in your living room, make sure it’s done in a way that lightens up your space to avoid being lost as your living room’s focal point.
