Grey is a fantastic colour to use right now, its really great if you're looking for a neutral palette where your furniture and accessories are the feature items that can be easily updated and changed to re-create the feel of the room.
You can brighten a grey base with reds and yellows for the summer and then tone it down with blues and greens for the winter. Such a great way to create a versatile space that you can change the mood of as often as you like.
Here are some homes that have grey walls as their base, and by using different colours they each have created a different feel in each room...
I love greys as a base, which of the rooms above do you like best?

A rug can change the feel and look of a room dramatically, but before you go
ahead and make the purchase there are a few things you need to consider
first...
Depending on the space its used for these layouts give guidance on what you should be looking for.
The fit
Rugs need to be in proportion to the room size and in keeping with your decor. A small rug in front of a large sofa will just look wrong.... As a general rule, treat your rug as an anchor point and be generous with it.
Zones
Rugs can also be used to define zones in your room, separating living from say the dining areas. Placing all the furniture on your rug and this will help differentiate zones.
Colours and Patterns
If your space is small its best to either choose light or soft neutral tones in your rug to make a room seem spacious, or deeper colours to create an intimate, more cosy feel.
Patterned rugs are great for anchoring your room’s colour scheme, and unifying your space. Colourful and busy patterned rugs will also be slower in showing wear and tear in high traffic areas.
Cowhide rugs have been on trend this year.. you can choose from the traditional look, or now you can also get rugs dyed in different colours or patterns on them.
Here are some rug inspirations for your home... which do you like best?
