Decorate with grey using Celerie Kemble's design tips and create a home that's anything but neutral.
Design firm ODADA’s exploration of living room as sculpture uses the cohesive effect of a soft grey scale as backdrop to a dramatic experiment. Sweeps of glossy white vinyl lie atop a plywood “over-floor” and rise onto and over the simple plywood furniture forms—coffee table, daybed, and chairs. Beneath them an exposed ebony floor serves up high contrast to highlight the beauty of negative space.

Most people choose brown or beige as their predominant neutral, since wood plays a significant role in interior design, but grey is an inspired and exciting alternative, particularly if the rest of your
colour palette tends toward cool—or if you’re inclined to paint your wood white or ebonize it.
