Color design trends: Grey is the new black!
Who said that grey is synonymous with melancholy or sadness?
17/12/2015 - Grey has come back in the design and furniture
world: it is a timeless color, certainly not striking, but that doesn’t
mean it can’t have a strong visual impact in your home and your
favourite places.

The following gallery, selected for you, can tip over all prejudices about this color. Grey can be considered the new Black in the design world, the new design trend, for its versatility, for its elegance and sobriety. If we combine Grey’s neutral character with other tones or colors we can reach very cool results.
Concrete walls
After Modernism, grey has become the incarnation of the concrete material. Today, the choice of rough concrete for walls can be a very cool solution, because it can coexist with other claddings or materials or colors.

Eclectic grey
A dark grey can be the ideal background for an eclectic space: gray and yellow seem to be made for each other. Many people are hesitant to use yellow but when matched with gray, it just works. You can create a cheerful space with vivid yellow accents. As happens in Yoo Panama, designed by Philippe Starck.

Grey in the bedroom
The design of the master bedroom is a delicate question, because you have to keep things as neutral as possible if you want it to be more permanent. Warm grey usually is an easy color to decorate walls as a background. You can throw anything against it, and it's going to look amazing.

Grey in the attic
Say yes to the grey in the attic, as well. The Grey Loft’s bedroom (design by OOOX) itself is equipped with a large, comfortable, custom-made bed, which seems lifted from the floor by illumination under the structure, creating a a floating effect.
Grey in the hotel
An essential part of creating an hotel-style bedroom is making sure your linen is lovely. In the SP34 hotel, in Copenaghen, (design by Morten Hedegaard) the white quilt, white cushions and buff elements chime elegantly with the dark grey walls, curtains and lamps without being too matchy.
Nordic Grey
In Nordic places, grey embodies the typical minimal character and neutral ambience. It could be the perfect ‘partner’ for white furniture and local design, for all kinds of spaces, from the home to the office, from the coffee house to the atelier.

Grey in new materials and finishings
Grey is one of the most used colors for contemporary wall/floor tiles with concrete effect. There are many coating solutions made from a polymer modified cement base, which can be used in multiple thin coat applications. These finishings are highly resistant to abrasion and the adhesion properties allow tiles to be used on a wide variety of surfaces including concrete, steel and wood. They can be used interiors or exteriors to achieve many different paving and flooring requirements. Not only, these solutions can be the ideal partner for furniture design, both in the kitchen and in the bathroom, as happens in the new Rifra store, in Fiorano Modenese, where grey lives perfectly with materials as oak wood, concrete and clay.
