This Week's Ideabook On Houzz: A Great Color Combination, Green Meets Gray

There are some color combinations that are simply not seen very often, and for some reason the mix of green into a gray interior falls in this category. In fact, it took quite of bit of searching through photos on Houzz to find enough examples for this Ideabook. So much so that in a few of the rooms featured here the presence of green in the gray color scheme is in the form of plants!

Introducing green into a gray interior is a very fresh and modern color palette that can result in a serene and unexpectedly beautiful look. It is a color mix I'd just love to try in a room myself!

There is so much to adore about this bedroom, with the sweeping angles of the ceiling and light pouring in from every side. The gray and dusty blue palette is soothing, with small touches of green introduced through the presence of the modern green chair and a floral arrangement. How completely peaceful.

It appears a large number of the images for this Ideabook come from the same construction firm. Obviously they are not only fans of this color mix but are experts at it as well. Here a quiet living room is given a delightful punch of color with the addition of the yellow green chair and ottoman, along with a touch more green through the floral arrangement.

This room is made up of a subtle combination of gray, white, taupe, and brown. The light streaming in from the windows wash out the range of colors so that the space reads soft gray as a whole. A tall green arrangement placed on the table becomes the lively point of the space.

The green door brings a somewhat surprising and welcoming aspect to the above modern design, and if I were decorating this home the door color would be the beginning inspiration.
