Trend Alert: Ombre Walls to Dye For

Q

Photo

Neutrals such as grey can be used in almost any room to bring a sense of calm, their silvery tones making for a chic and modern dining room. Starting with a pale grey shade rather than stark white will make the transition from light to dark a lot smoother.

Q

Pair with neutrals Instead of painting the entire walls of this living room, which would have made the space cold and stark, the lower section has been left untouched. An icy white hue gradually fades to allow the natural timber to show through, bringing a feeling of warmth. White and tan leather couches and a circular grey floor rug further transform this traditional room into a modern living space.
