Grey is the new black

You may have already noticed the abundance of grey around this season – and we’re definitely not talking about the weather for a change. The colours of autumn come in many shades, but the ones that really matter this month are shades of grey. Taking inspiration from English sky of autumn, from deep storm clouds to soft early morning mist, you’ll find grey in everything from paint to furniture. Use grey as a focal point of your colour palette for a neutral and elegant effect, or instead as a background palette to help highlight bolder colours. We’ve seen grey in both our scandi sky collection and natural industrial look this September, and expect to see even more of it over the coming months. To help you embrace the grey as much as we have here at Linens Limited, we’ve got a selection of our favourite grey products from two very different shades of grey.

Smoke and charcoal

Dare to go dark with deep smoky greys and sophisticated charcoal shades that hint at the great outdoors and cosy winter nights. These stormy shades of grey may seem moody, but combined with varying textures they create a rustic yet elegant design. Mix paint chipped wood with deep shaggy furs to add a unique dynamic to tired rooms. You can also bring the outdoors in by combining subtle animal prints into the overall design, perfect for a natural look that will keep you warm and cosy throughout autumn.

Silver and mist

Why not try something a bit bright this September with light and airy silvery greys. Reminiscent of morning mist and white wood smoke these lighter tones guarantee a more subtle and sophisticated look for your home. Interesting intricate designs and floral patterns make for an extra elegant touch, while light wood and simple clean cut shapes brings a refined scandi look to your décor. Sprinkle in some soft velvet accents for an added layer of texture that will really highlight the silver tones of this grey palette.
