Following the Fall High Point Market, gray continues<\/a> it’s run as an interior designer’s favorite warm neutral color of choice. \u00a0It can be found on the walls of some of the most prestigious shops as a wonderful backdrop to furniture and artwork and just about every fabric manufacturer is offering a collection featuring gray.<\/p>\n

Gray is considered by many to be the new \u201cneutral\u201d color and is a fresh alternative to beige and sage green.\u00a0 It can be warm and inviting when paired with colors like yellow and orange; cool and sophisticated with black, red and taupe, dark and moody when combined with rich aubergine or a deep brown and stark and contemporary in a black and white setting.<\/p>\n

The reason gray coordinates with so many other colors is because it can have an undertone that ranges from blue and purple to green or brown, depending on the mix.\u00a0 This is also the reason why it can be difficult to choose the perfect gray\u00a0upholstery\u00a0fabric for your home. \u00a0When shopping for the perfect fabric, ask to bring samples home and place them in the area of your room where the upholstered furniture will be placed. \u00a0Remember to check the color at different times of day and in differing light as it will change.\u00a0 For example, if most of your time spent in the living room is during evening hours it is important to check the color during that time.\u00a0 Conversely, if you are looking for a gray to complement your blue and white kitchen and breakfast room, be sure and check the paint sample during the bright light of morning.<\/p>\n

Your master bedroom will become a luxurious getaway with crisp gray and white linens; your guest room will delight male and female guests alike with walls painted a soothing gray and your dining room will be the talk of the neighborhood with chairs covered in sumptuous gray velvet featuring nickel nailhead trim.\u00a0 Regardless of how you introduce this \u201cnew\u201d color, via paint, fabric or accessories, it will add an instant update to your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
