Team timelessly stylish grey with cheerful yellow for an upbeat colour combination you can't help but love.
For greys, it can be tricky to get the shade right, particularly when painting as grey can vary from a cool blue-grey to greys with yellow/red undertones and the colours can look different depending on the amount of light in your room. It's best to try several different paint swatches of different shades to find the perfect grey for you. For rooms that require extra warm light greys with yellow undertones work perfectly.
We all know an all-grey colour scheme can look chic and stylish but adding a cheery accent colour gives the room a completely different vibe and is a great way to update on a budget.
Warm yellow is such an upbeat colour for interior decor, so even if you open your curtains in the morning to the darkest gloomiest sky, at least your home will have a sunny cheerful vibe indoors! Try adding it to your bedroom with an ochre pendant shade or bedside lamp. All shades of yellow work well, just pick your favourite.

Black and white would also work well with this scheme or maybe introduce accents of another colour you love such as pink or green. HomebyPolly seamlessly pairs together pink, yellow and grey within her hallway to create a fresh welcoming space.

With this colour scheme, you’re not restricted on which type of metallics to use as many will work well with colour scheme. Add copper or gold for extra warm or tone it down with chrome. Try varying your textures and have fun with patterns to stop the room appearing flat.
