There is contrast between the traditional furniture and the focal point of the floor which pops, draws attention. I would recover the sofas in cream colored soft fabric - suede. I would leave the curtains grey, and put down a large neutral area rug. The edges of the room would show the pattern of the floor. I would color the wall and add texture to it, but not too dark as the room will appear smaller. Add a picture and put a nice plant holder, large vase in the left corner of the room - an oriental-style vase. Or, a cream-stripe fabric on the sofas. You could go soft or bold in this room - depending on your taste.

Leather sofas can really dominate the room and can give an overall cold feeling. I would add some earthy elements, like a wood coffee table with glass or metal. Go to Restoration Hardware's website and look at their sofa room scenes. And I'm sorry I think the art is too harsh for the room. That's all your eye goes to in the room. too overpowering. I would look for something softer or maybe a cool mirror and I would add color to the room with pillows and some colorful lamps. I also think woven blinds would look great. They add warmth and give a finished look. The color of your window treatments should contrast your wall color a bit, not match it or else it starts to look generic and blah.. You have warm walls, warm floors and the woven blinds, like Hunter Douglas brand would pull it all together for you.

You don't have to give up your beloved pink. Pink, brown and grey are doable. I googled pink and grey living room and saw some great pictures. Maybe get a large carpet that pulls out the pink (must match the same shade of pink). Then place your beautiful little pink and cream Kashmir(?) carpet over it. Also pull that same pink into sofa pillows. And a similar pink and brown Tablecloth for the dining table will pull the colours together. Just need to make sure all the pinks are the same shade with small accents/border of the same brown and grey from the sofa. Solid colours or subtle designs will be easier to coordinate than bold dramatic prints. These 2 are not the right shade of pink but you get the idea, I hope. Carpets with tone on tone pattern. A dusty rose on one wall would be nice too.

HOME DESIGNING Menu A Two-Story Home with a Sleek Grey Color Palette Save Tumblr Not every home has a unifying color theme, but without one it can be easy for a house to feel disjointed or erratic. A color palette can unify a home's design so that it flows easily from one room to another, but that does not mean that each room has to be decorated in exactly the same colors. In this house, for instance, grey creates a throughline within the home but does not overwhelm the design. Instead, it creates a foundation for each room so that the overall look is comforting and harmonious -- without being too "matchy-matchy." Take a look inside this home from visualizer Andrei Lychkouski to see what we mean. 1 |The main, open living space itself is the room that takes the gray theme to the extreme. 2 |From an oversized dark gray section to clear gray lucite dining chairs and texture gray walls, this is the center of the home’s color story. ADVERTISEMENT 3 |The colors that are dotted throughout the space draw the eye but are still subtle, and largely live within the neutral family from green to teal to warm brown. 4 |The high ceiling creates a dramatic feel for an otherwise fairly conservative design. 5 |A few creative elements do stand out, including the glass coffee table. 6 |When light gray is used in conjunction with white, a space can feel much more open without the blinding effects of white on white. 7 |Gray furnishings show the commitment to the palette, such as this freestanding dresser. 8 |The stairs in this home also act as an important design element. ADVERTISEMENT 9 |White wood steps are suspended in air, making their way to the second floor with the bright green accent wall behind them. 10 |But staying downstairs for a moment, the kitchen and breakfast bar keep with the gray theming. 11 |Dark gray stools, light gray countertops, and a narrow window make this kitchen feel particularly cozy. 12 |In the dining area, open to the kitchen, a smattering of pendant lights add a bit of interest as well. 13 |The kitchen itself is not particularly spacious, but the use of natural light and a bar/island mean there is room to do the work required for cooking. 14 |A small strip of grass grows along the windowsill for another pop of color. 15 |Upstairs, gray gives way to black for the second floor railings. 16 |Propeller-inspired light fixtures are both playful and unique. 17 |Large picture windows let in plenty of light during the day but must be kept closed in the dead of winter. 18 |The mater bedroom also tends towards darker grays and blacks. 19 |A wood slat accent wall is darker while the cushioned headboard is a lighter shade of gray. 20 |Color is brought in with creative art pieces. 21 |Gray linens and black light fixtures give this bedroom decor a bit of an edge. 22 |In a house with no separate home office space, its important that this desk is included somewhere — and there was no room in the living area. 23 |Moving into one of the two children’s rooms, colors are quite a bit brighter. 24 |A lovely blue chair, green rug, and pink pillow are so much more vibrant that most of what we have seen in this house. 25 |But even so, the idea of cray threads its way in with a shadowed sleeping nook. 26 |Fun wall art is a perfect way to bring a child’s personality into a room’s design. 27 |The faux grass carpet is perfect for a cold winter, too, when playing outside is a bit less common. 28 |In the second child’s room, colors go even further with an astronomy-inspired accent wall. 29 |A bright orange chair is the perfect homework spot, looking out onto the yar. 30 |Built-in shelving is required for an kid’s room lest things get too cluttered. 31 |A similar piece of wall art brings the charm in this room, too. 32 |The bathroom decor slides comfortably back into the gray theme. 33 |White and gray match up with natural greenery. 34 |Of course glass and tile are all but required. 35 |An overhead lighting bar is a stylish solution for the over-sink vanity. 36 |A second bathroom is smaller but pulls from a similar style. 37 |Again, white and gray play nicely together. 38 |In this room, an overhead ring light is the best solution. 39 | 40 | Recommended Reading: 42 Gorgeous Grey Bedrooms 40 Gorgeous Grey Kitchens Did you like this article?
