How grey works in the home office
In the home office, grey gives a neutral, focused base — break it up with greenery and wood so it doesn't feel like a cubicle.
Keep in mind what's specific to this room: the balance between focus and calm. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.
Colours that pair well with grey
Grey is generous with almost anything: yellow and mustard for warmth, navy for contrast, wood and greenery to avoid sterility.
Materials and details
Wool, bouclé and linen make grey soft; wood and brass warm it up. Concrete and chrome alone can turn cold.
The most common mistake
Too many cool grey tones — the room goes flat and dreary. Lean toward greige and add a warm accent.
See grey in the home office — before you paint
The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the home office and type "repaint the home office in grey". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
