Blue and Grey Living Rooms
Why choose a blue and grey living room? Blue and grey is a timeless pairing, as calming blue paint pairs effortlessly with the versatility of grey. The rich, saturation of deep navy or the soothing tones of pastel becoming more tranquil and grounded when softened with a quiet neutral grey paint. Ideal for relaxing spaces such as living rooms, to help you find peace and quiet after a long day.
Whether you prefer a coastal sitting room or regal lounge, spark some inspiration for your next project with these grey and blue living room ideas.
Paler palettes
Blue and grey both have associations with nature, with softer shades of sky blue and stone grey pairing perfectly together. Our delicate grey Dove has subtle blue undertones, which you can accentuate with blue accents such as throw pillows or furniture.
A warm-toned mid grey such as Tyne Fog works well with cooler shades of blue, as the contrast of warm and cool will balance the space. Try using our Furniture Paint with a dusky pastel such as Blue Sky, for an eye-catching contrast against a neutral grey backdrop.
Pops of blue
A pop of royal blue can make an instant statement in a predominantly grey room. Our blue-toned Mineral Grey creates a sleek, sophisticated background, that will instantly enhance deep blue décor. Pair with warm woods, wicker and other natural textures to balance sleek modernity with a more homely feel.
A dark chalky grey like Graphite makes for a commanding, yet elegant wall colour and pairs effortlessly with plush, blue velvet furniture and a distressed traditional rug. Great for creating a luxe penthouse feel.
Muted and moody
True grey Mid Anthracite is the perfect balance between light and dark, creating a cosy space with a modern twist. Try pairing with candles, knitted footstools and plants for a comfortable, cottage feel. Wintry blue artwork or a mountain landscape will add a mysterious, folksy vibe.
Our dusky mid blue Hush has just a whisper of grey, meaning it works well with grey furniture and accessories. Use a large grey armchair as a focal point in a moody blue room, and layer with similar colours such as purple. We chose subtle lilac Wisteria on the far wall, in keeping with the cooler palette.
