How I’ll be escaping the Grey and Bringing Back Cosy Vibes
As we all know, grey was a massive trend. And I hold my hands up, I went in with all guns blazing!
Grey bed, grey curtains, grey walls, and I painted every bit of furniture grey Basically colourless!!!
Is it just me, or have you ever seen an item of clothing or a pair of shoes you had to have? You loved them from the minute you laid eyes on them. You couldn’t stop thinking about them. So you bought them… and then, a year later, you look at them and think: "Ugh. How did I ever like that?!"
That’s exactly how I feel about grey.
Back then, it felt modern and fresh. Now, I just want it gone!
It’s the bed that is causing difficulties, it wasn’t cheap, it's sooo comfy and yet it is grey and there is no way it will be replaced!
But here’s what I’ll be doing in the bedroom:
✨ Repainting the furniture, changing the colour of the walls in this new to us house
✨ Getting more cushions, a throw and lighting that compliments the makeover when I do it.
✨ Bringing some of the outside in, with warm colours - Right now, I’m loving the idea of a soft terracotta for the walls and a rich rust colour in some way on the furniture, but I’ve only been in the house 2 weeks so far so I want to make sure it will be right
For now, I’m keeping it simple—with a beautiful cushion of autumnal colours to break up the sea of grey. Next, I’ll be buying warm neutral paint testers for the walls ……
If you love a trend, go for it—but if you take anything from my mistake, it’s this:
Keep the big, pricey bits timeless. Your future self will thank you when the style shifts and you don’t have to incorporate them into it!!!
Let me know if you’ve ever regretted going all in on a trend of any kind, what happened and what did you do to fix it? Let’s get a conversation going!
