I have gray on my mind these days!
I am fantasizing about how I want our new home to turn out and gray is a big part of that mental picture. Thoughts like 'Now why didn't I paint this one gray earlier?' or 'I wonder where I can find a matte spray in just the right shade of gray?' are constantly rummaging around in my head.
And in that lies the question. What is the right shade of gray for us?
Should I go with a cold gray that touches up against blue and that will go just perfectly with a pastel colors scheme? One that makes me think about driftwood, the sea or concrete.
Or should I go for a warmer gray that blends well with natural materials like wood, wool and stone? One that is perfect to pair up with a warm shade of pink or beige.

SvarSletthow are you today?

I love grays of all kinds, but warm has to be my favorite. Love how it goes with wood.
SvarSlettLove the kitchen and the contrast of the dark grey walls against the open shelving. xo
SvarSlettI had a bedroom in Oslo ones which was purple grey and I wish I could copy that color again. It was stunning!
SvarSlettFor interior design I would probably choose lighter gray. It would match wonderfully with some navy :)
SvarSlettI guess it all depends on the home you find up North. Some interiors simply call for soft colours for balance while others can handle cold ones. I'm looking forward to hear what you come up with ;-)
SvarSlettWe have similar tastes, I love these spaces, the soft coloring. Lovely!
SvarSlettWonderful pictures! Love the color!! xxx
SvarSlettenig i at d kjæm litt an på nykåken.syns begge dela e veldig fint,men kult når man kan bland inn andre farge da... blir spennandes å sjå kor og korsn dokker blir å bo:)))
SvarSlettEeeeeeeeeeeeeelsker grått i alle nyaner. Ubehandlet betong er for eksempel rett og slett sexy. Halvor Bakke har masse fine gråtoner i sin fargekolleksjon. Stuen her i huset skal males i hans farge "Dublin". Er bare å glede seg!!!
SvarSlettI love grey! It was probably last summer when I discovered how beautiful it is. For a home I'd go with a warm grey, because for a place I live in I like a bit of a cozy feel too.
SvarSlettI adore gray! I think for my own home I would have to go with a very neutral gray, that can go towards the cooler or warmer spectrum depending on the rest of the colors in the room. I change my mind so often I wouldn't be able to stick with just one set of colors. But if I absolutely had to choose I would go with warmer gray, you can never go wrong with a home that feels cozy =)
SvarSletti like you grey thoughts, i wonder if i can paint my new flat??? grey would be great...
SvarSletthow about a combo of all these shades :)
SvarSlettI prefer the warmer grays, and I think your house will feel a little cozier with the addition of creams, naturals and woods-although I did have a moment of swoon when I saw those shades of cool gray!
SvarSlettso many grays so little time, I feel like I've stumble on a blog once called "the perfect "or something like that. I love that kitchen shot. I dig a deep, but not dark, gray and one that makes me think of driftwod and oceany things best I think.
SvarSlettHi lovely Signe!! Such a question for me!!! Mmm..I guess I prefer the warmer greys...because of my creamy-neutral addiction!!! but all of these shades are sooooo chic!
SvarSlettLove to hear from you again!

Ilike the color gray in the house, I find it very elegant in its simplicity and austerity, however, perhaps because of this I see big areas: villas, large living rooms. Or will the spring that makes me want to pastel colors! :)
SvarSlettA kiss,
Sarah
LEKKERT!!!
SvarSlettJeg hadde på meg grå bukse og grå skjorte i påska, og fikk høre at jeg så veldig GRÅ ut.. hehe;)
Liker grått, men siden jeg er veldig blond og trenger litt mer farge, må jeg gjerne ha det sammen med andre farger - når det gjelder klær.
I interiøret bruker jeg lite grått, men liker det litt røffe ubehandlede uttrykket i den indistruelle stilen.
Ellers blir det mye pasteller da; rosa og turkis ligger høyt på lista!;)
Klem til deg♥
gray is one of my favorite colors so this totally makes me happy. those cozy knit pieces makes me wanna snuggle! love this compilation of things that warms my heart :)
SvarSlettI love gray. Some say it is a depressing colour but I find it rather comforting.
SvarSlettI really love the last image and the one above with the soft knits and glasses.
I would go for gray with wood, wool and stone. It creates natural cozy feeling.
P.S. I've tagged you on my blog. Check my last post. x
I like the grey that fits with natural materials such as wood, wool and stone. It is soft and far off being cold! Looking forward to see which one you chose!
SvarSlettI love grey colour and I bet you can find the perfect shade. I usually go with the warmer tones. Have a fantastic day, sweetie
SvarSlettKisses
Ps: I’m hosting an awesome swimming suit GIVEAWAY later today! Just in time for summer!
Your choice of grey images are great - I can't choose between a warmer or cooler shade! Melissa xx
SvarSlettohh i love all of these photos!
SvarSlettI love grey. I find it so soothing. I just noticed the other day that all my new shirts are grey--I just can't stop :)
SvarSlettI love gray...and grayish violet. Like the colors you use for the text in this (comment) section of your blog. Seriously, they are my favorites :)
SvarSlettGrey is one of my favourite colours. Partly because it's so versatile. Grey, jade and blush pink are my current colour obsessions.
SvarSlettI like the gray! i think that either warm or cool gray works well with so many different colors! I can't wait to see how your rooms turn out!
SvarSlettXOXO
I love all shades of gray, mouse gray, gray slate, light gray ...
SvarSlettA good choice!
