Greys
Grey’s versatility, and often chameleon-like qualities, makes it suitable for almost every style of home. From welcoming warm greys through to cooler modern shades, explore the depths of this colour to find the perfect combination for your space.
Warm greys
Soft and serene, cocooning and sumptuous; warm greys create a flexible backdrop for stronger more contrasting colours. Light or dark, warm greys work seamlessly in open-plan spaces and exteriors, pairing well with natural materials and pastel accents.
