Adding color to your greige color palette:
TABLE OF CONTENTS
To help add some life and personality to your interiors put in pops of color in the space where greige has taken over. Perhaps the walls and major furniture pieces have the greige hues; then use the throw pillows, artwork, accent rugs, and any other décor accessories for the accent colors. Go with small patterns and bold colors for the smaller accents like the pillows and artwork that way you don’t overpower the griege usage. This is great for living and family rooms!
