Though everyone is all about red right now, I think I’m going to stick with gray. Even though I’m a Denver Interior Designer gray is my “Go To” neutral color all year long. Its not as cold as you’d think.
For the Holiday’s gray with a touch of red brings out the hospitality in a room. In this dining room that evokes the interiors of Elsie de Wolfe, silver leaf paper, gray silk window treatments, and painted Chippendale-style chairs combine in a setting that is layered in elegance. Anchored with gray its the perfect room for a holiday meal that will inspire your guests and family.

Gray is that chameleon color that many other colors look great next to and any style can be designed around. Whether its used in a modern decor with a hint of gray on a sofa or in transitional textural appointments like gray painted fireplaces, I think of this color as an elixir. Add a big burst of color to gray accents and a room becomes a shrine to good taste and relaxed harmony. Denver Interiors look great in theses colors.

The famous Decorator Barbara Barry uses gray in her home in Los Angeles and it is ultimately sophisticated. Gray, like a tailored suit, takes away all sharp edges, all harsh glares, and appears infinitely livable. Here the gray knocks your socks off.

Gray is steady, resigned, stable, dignified, cool and safe. In this room its deliberate.

Gray can be quiet and calming with infinite dimension and versatility.
Gray can be feminine of masculine and either gender could live in a gray inspired room. Gray plays many roles.

Grey is useful in covering up a room’s sins. Paint those speckle textured white walls or old cabinets gray and they take on a whole new life. With the current emphasis on natural materials – on walls and floors, coiunter and tabletops – it seems only natural that gray would find its way into today’s interiors – especially kitchens. I love these dark gray painted cabinets – so cool and classy.
