Using Grey as a base colour for your interior scheme is a smart choice due to the workable nature grey offers against other colours. It is a neutral colour that can have many different undertones that allows for a wide variety of different colours to be used in grey schemes.
Often the blinds or curtains within a room help to incorporate the secondary colour you are looking to introduce to the room. The first and hardest part of choosing your new window coverings is deciding on the colour, before then moving onto the fabric design and stylistic finish to the blinds or curtains.
Utilising a colour wheel is a great way to help make decisions about your new interior colour scheme. There are nine different ways to interpret a colour wheel and by familiarising yourself with both how to use a colour wheel and the effects the different colour scheme choices can give- creating your new scheme will be a far easier task.
Although, grey is not a true colour within the colour wheel so we would work with what we call an ‘Achromatic’ grey picking up on slight hues of other colours. This means when using a colour wheel, you can pick your secondary key colour and select accent tones easily to work within your scheme.
So why not take a bold approach to warm up your grey with a burnt orange or mustard yellow pair of curtains. And further accent the room with rich greens or blues. Or for a cooler feel, adopt a soft blue or pink linen curtain that can be lifted with a mauve or honey beige.
