What Colors Go With Light Grey Walls and a Darker Grey Carpet?

White

• White offers a fresh clean look when it is paired with a gray palette. Create a restful bedroom with white crisp linens and a black and white printed comforter on your bed. White upholstered furniture in your living room can lend a formal, contemporary or a shabby-chic style depending on your choice of furniture and the color of your trim. White trim will accommodate all styles of decor while black trim should be reserved for a contemporary room. Add a surprising pop of your favorite color to your room -- splashes of aqua, orange, yellow, blue, purple or green with pillows, textiles and art. Introduce different textures with area rugs or textiles displayed on furniture and walls. Mirrors and silver accent pieces will add interesting reflections.

Red

• The warm tones of red furnishings will add beautiful contrast with your cool gray walls and carpeting. Use bright red as your primary color to provide a striking contemporary decor. Accents of bold white and black printed pillows and chairs will add sophisticated style. A deep shade of burgundy will create a classic design and can be paired well with teal. Introduce additional shades of red with pillows and area rugs. A monochromatic palette can be rich and appealing. Pale ivory and silver decorative accessories will add interest to your interior.

Green

• Green offers a restful or a vibrant palette for your room. Deep teal or forest green upholstery will look beautiful on larger pieces of furniture placed against pale gray walls and gray carpeting. Mix varying shades of marigold, red and orange to add contrasting accent colors for chairs, area rugs and textiles. Large green plants and dark wooden tables will add richness to your decor. A more contemporary option is to use bright green upholstered furniture which will lend a bold note against your gray tones. Yellow, red, orange, white and black accessories will fashion a playful room.

Blue

• Enjoy a breezy coastal feel with gray walls and carpeting. Pale shades of blue or aqua can be beautiful for bed linens and upholstered furniture. Choose white painted wooden tables or headboards to bring the beach into your room. Complement the gray with subtle shades of sage, yellow or rose to printed fabrics for quilts and printed fabrics for upholstery. The use of cotton and linen materials will add natural flavor to this soothing decor.
