How to Decorate with Gray and Beige in the Same Room

Many of my clients want to use the color gray in their homes that are currently filled with beige tile flooring, beige carpet, and beige furniture that they want to keep. 

Many are concerned that the beige and gray colors will not complement each other, and they are right to be concerned. 

The main reason why beige and gray do not often work well together is because beige is typically a warm color and gray is typically a cool color. 

With proper planning, we can decorate each room in a way that makes the beige and gray look intentional.

 
 
 
 
The one trick to making the colors beige and gray play nicely together is to decorate with at least one large item that is both beige and gray colors.
