How to Style Grey Tiles

Grey might not be your first choice when it comes to home decor; however, it is becoming increasingly popular due to the resurgence of trends, such as industrial and rustic styles in modern homes.

Why are grey tiles so popular?

A neutral hue with a sophisticated edge, grey is one of the most popular colours in interior design. As the halfway point between black and white, grey is the perfect neutral shade that easily transitions between the seasons, becoming warm and cosy in winter and cool in summer.

How can I make my grey room look better?

Don’t be afraid of colour

Grey is a versatile shade that pairs well with a host of different colours, so don’t be afraid to go bold with bright colours! It provides the perfect backdrop to make colours pop and avoids washing out more pastel shades as opposed to white, creating a warm and uplifting feeling.

Scandi vibes

With a focus on minimalism and clean lines, the Scandanavian interior design trend maximises functionality without sacrificing style. Grey is a fundamental colour with this look, as it provides a warm and uplifting vibe that works well on its own without fuss.

Add texture

Grey interiors offer the perfect base for a textured look. Its neutral shade lends itself perfectly to layering, allowing you to create depth and character in your home without it looking like it’s too much.

How to style light grey tiles

Light grey tiles are a refreshing alternative to white, effortlessly adapting to any environment and style. This shade is more compatible with other colour schemes than darker greys. Providing a neutral backdrop for both traditional or modern interior schemes, light grey provides a calming atmosphere without the harsh glare that comes with white tiles.

How to style dark grey tiles

Dark grey tiles offer a bold, dramatic feel to your home, calming the senses with their deep, moody hue – this makes this hue the perfect choice for creating a space that is both relaxing and stylish. Punctuate this dark shade with bright pops of colour for a charming, playful look, or give it a chic appearance with pale creams and taupes.
