Why we love Grey

In the middle of a freezing cold, windy winter, grey is getting a pretty bad reputation. It eternally seems to be seen as the colour of dullness, misery and general gloom.

However, we at Roman Blinds Direct are here to try to change grey’s reputation into something more positive.

Grey is, in fact, the only colour in the spectrum to have no direct psychological properties; overuse of this colour can result in a depressing and soulless decor, but if you manage to achieve the right balance, grey can transform your home into a spectacularly stylish abode.

If you are striving to attain a minimalist look in your home, grey is a must. This colour is perfect for giving a neutral and relaxed feel to a room, making it ideal for anyone who wants to achieve a really stripped-back aesthetic. You won’t find a more stylish alternative than our grey made to measure roman blinds if this sounds like the kind of thing you are going for.

Nevertheless, grey needn’t be used merely to neutralise your decor. While it may never be the life and soul of the party, like an orange or yellow demand to be, it can add a stylish touch to even the brashest of interiors without looking out of place.

There’s also the happy medium, which is our favourite fashion statement as far as greys go. The equilibrium between brash and bland is to use grey as your groundsheet, if you like. Grey walls, grey blinds, complemented with brighter blues, greens and reds for the furnishings and artwork. Cream couches seem to posses a hidden magic that seems to look stunning with grey for some reason!

We stock a vast array of grey roman blinds and grey curtains on our website. Our sister website, Custom Curtains also has a wonderful selection of grey patterns, which can be made into cushions, too – check them out!
