A color is not only a color
The human eye is fascinating, and can distinguish around 500 different shades of gray. So although at first glance gray might seem an unexciting color with only a few uses, it’s actually easy to use to create a personal impression. Gray is the color of possibility. The colors’ color. If you have any difficulty grasping gray’s chameleon-like ability to change character, we at Photowall recommend taking a look at our range of nearly 300 canvas prints. There’s the almost sepia-gray Above Clouds canvas print, the classic New York City 3, and “Svartsjukans natt, August Strindberg”. These three prints are excellent examples of gray’s fascinating versatility. Many people love dark colors, but some find the very darkest tones too sombre and avoid decorating with black. But it’s still possible to make use of deeper tones, thanks to the many different shades and personalities of gray. Charcoal gray can communicate the same strength and mystique as true black, but without the heaviness and darkness. The dark gray canvas print Naked Trees does this in a mature, uncomplicated style, as does Kick It - Red Grey, which skilfully balances the two colors’ personalities thanks to its red accents.
Gray is the new beige
For many years, beige has been seen as a safe choice of foundation color in the home, and we at Photowall truly appreciate its many positive aspects. However, beige has been a bit overused, and sadly has begun to lose some of its mystique. What a stroke of luck that gray has come back into fashion! Not only is it just as suitable as beige as a foundation color, it also has its own character that makes it so much more than an anonymous background. Gray complements a wide variety of other colors, whether light, dark, soft or loud. A strong scarlet accent wall can be overwhelming and a strain on the eyes, but break it up with the help of a kinder gray, and you’ll have new ways to combine colors to realise your chosen design scheme. Soothing gray can bind together more dramatic tones, and allows you to combine colors in previously impossible ways. Use the Liquid Fire canvas print on a dark green wall to create an inspiring contrast, or Fire Truck on a light blue wall to bring life to a child’s bedroom. Thanks to its 500 different shades of gray, Photowall offers endless ways to bring your home to life.
How to add Gray to your interior
In interior design, the color gray may be considered as an opposite of a color. Sometimes, the color is the least preferred by many homeowners. However, the truth is that the color gray can be a wonderful tool in creating a space with any color palette. Have it mixed with the right color and your space will have a sophisticated appearance and rich in color. A gray colored wallpaper can serve as a wonderful backdrop for you to add the right furnishings and accents to your room. Think of it like a canvas in a painting where you add your amazing images. You can add practically anything to it. From bold colored furniture pieces to muted color fabrics. These can simply make your interior look amazing. That’s the wonder of having gray on your walls.
