Grey colour is generally considered to be very boring but if it is combined with brighter colours, then it imparts a different look to the room. Traditionally, grey is combined with pink, white and black. Very few people experiment other combinations of other colour with grey. In this particular picture, the resident of the house has used green with it, and different shades of it – on the wall, on the upholstery and on the table! The walls here echo the colours of the interior furnishing. The colours chosen are such they bring outside environment inside the room. With a lighter shade to complement it, green here is bursting with energy and standing out on its own. It feels that the colours of garden have transcended inside the room also. The overall effect is thus unwinding and calm.
The black lamp, side table and centre table also look a part of the whole scheme of colours because none is fighting for attention. However, I feel that the resident could have gone a bit daring by using red on the walls. White roof and the big painting although imparts a cool effect, makes the area a bit unimaginative. A dash of colour never hurts if chosen properly and used rightly! In the end, it is also about one’s personality and temperament. Let that reflect in the space you decorate, because you are the one who would be using it later on!
