Interior design: 50 shades of gray!
Neutral colors are a safe creative field, and gray color is especially pleasant, comfortable and a welcome guest in modern interiors.
But as much as we love the gray color, we can't deny the fact that sometimes it can make your room feel a bit dark, sterile and boring. When using gray with neutral colors, it's a good idea to add a lot of texture, as this way you'll also add depth to the overall space. On the other hand, a good trick is to liven up your gloomy gray color with colorful accents or one accented wall. In addition to these quick tricks, there are some other easy rules that will help you create a perfectly comfortable, original and most importantly - lighter gray room!

Use neutrals as your base color
Yes, it's absolutely fine to stick with your gray walls as the base color for your room if you want to. If you want to go beyond your completely gray room, you can still stick to neutral colors and not only beige, white or cream, but you can also try some light pastel shades as well as small patterned wallpapers. Get creative with neutral finishes like wood, brick or tile. Then add some color to these finishes for a bright and cheery look!
Use color in accents
We all love a good accent wall. But color can be brought into a room in many different ways - through curtains, a rug, decor or even furniture. Especially if you're new to decorating with color or opting for something modern, inject color into your all-gray room with an inexpensive accent piece like a pillow or wall art.
Don't worry about whether everything is "under the thread"
Many people are afraid that they do not have the same shade of gray in their home, and that the space seems dark and inarticulate for that very reason. That's a big mistake! After all, look at nature - there are many shades of green in the forest, but it is still beautiful. Adding shades of the same color adds depth, character and interest to a space. So don't be afraid if everything doesn't match up. 60% neutral, 30% accent and 10% striking colors - to brighten up your completely gray room, you can use this very formula!
Color is not just about painting the walls
Introducing color into a completely gray room can be done in a number of ways, not just by painting the walls. Adding furniture with metal legs will add some sparkle to your room and brighten up the space. A brick wall or wooden planks on the wall will add interest and depth. Wallpaper with even a small colorful pattern can greatly refresh your gray room. That's why designers advise - don't be afraid to think outside the box. Color can be added in many ways, so don't be afraid to try different things.
