Grey is a very popular color for home decor: it’s rather neutral, it fits most of decor styles and has a lot of shades to go for. Many homeowners prefer white or grey walls, and this is a great choice for creating a neutral canvas to fill but let’s face it: such colors are very plain and can make your space a bit boring. If you aren’t going to fill the space with something extra bold and eye-catchy or play with textures, you risk to get a very plain room. How to avoid it? Make your walls interesting! We’ve already shared some non-boring white walls, and now it’s time to have a look at grey ones.
Molding/Panels
Molding and panels of various kinds are sure to make your walls interesting. Grey walls with molding are sure to add a refined touch to any space, from a dining room to a bedroom. As for panels, there are tons of different ideas to try – from just bold decorative panels to those with acoustic features.

Wood
Wood is timeless and it’s ideal to add a natural touch to any space, it always works! Incorporate wood of greyish tones into your space decor with a cool statement wall or even all the walls clad with grey wood. If you have a woodland or chalet interior, try a grey weathered wood wall or walls.
