1. Add depth with strong saturations of grey

Add depth and warm to your dining space by choosing a darker accent grey. Not only can darker warms help to add ambience, especially when dining by night, they can help to make your dining room furniture choices stand out. Take for instance how well this shade of Trilby by Earthborn paints helps to accentuate the lighter wood and honey leather tones. Creating an entertaining space with warm, gentle colours and honest materials will give your home a style and quality that transcends trends and creates a sense of calming wellbeing.

Stylist’s tip: Create a foraged display for decoration. Dried stems are very of-the-moment. They are ideal for a dining room because they add natural drama without strong colours – and are don’t require any maintenance.

2. Match walls and floors in the same shade

Create a cohesive look by matching the grey walls perfectly with the flooring. A pale grey parquet-style flooring can be reflected by a matching paint shade on the walls. The uniformed look can create a bigger sense of space, as the eye will be drawn seamlessly upwards from the floor.

To add a twist to the matching scheme why not a feature wall as above. The trompe l’oeil woodpile wallpaper adds a rustic edge to this sophisticated grey dining room space. The wallpaper is by Andrew Martin, shop the look below.

3. Pair cool grey with pops of bright colour

Inject a touch of vibrancy to your grey dining room by adding brightly coloured accessories. Cobalt blue is a dreamy accent colour to stand out against cool shades of grey, as are fuchsia pink and emerald green. The cool nature of the grey allows the accents colours to really pop.

4. Add another dimension to a monochrome look

Make grey the third colourway in a black and white monochrome scheme. Here grey wood panelling and a grey concrete floor provides the perfect backdrop for a monochrome patterned rug and dining furniture that mixes natural materials and black iron.

A soothing grey helps to add an effortlessly sophisticated feel to this laid-back Scandi style decor.

5. Pair grey with gold for glamour

Celebrate in a grey dining room that’s smart and opulent. Dark charcoal grey makes a sophisticated backdrop, brought to life with gold accents such as upholstery, frames, furniture and a statement clock.

6. Create a bright, fresh feel

Frosty shades of pale blue lay beneath these calming, cool grey hues. Cool, light greys are perfect for a small but sunny room where the light can make deeper colours too intense, while boosting its feeling of space. Be inspired by Nordic country interiors and use warm mid-grey on the walls in a dining nook as an alternative to white. Add natural rustic elements for texture and warmth, such as wooden candlesticks and a selection of hand-made tableware.

7. Pick the right shade

For an off-white option, soft dove grey is an understated yet smart backdrop for other monochrome shades in a dining room. Team greys with plenty of natural wood and muted accessories for a smart, chic feel.

8. Go for a darker shade of grey

Grey is the perfect backdrop for a gallery of cool and quirky artwork. To recreate this look fill empty wall space above a dining room cabinet with an arrangement of artwork. Create a triangular display, lining up the bottom row with the top line of the furniture, then filling in above with frames at staggered heights. A grey scheme works particularly well with a bright, punchy colour. Yellow is my personal favourite, as shown in this room.

9. Combine grey with wood

We have seen the revival of grey in interiors over the last seasons but this time it’s combined with wood tones to instantly add warmth and depth. Grey can give a calm and relaxed feel to the home, and is a fresh alternative to the classic neutral palette and acts as a great backdrop to introduce splashes of other colours.

10. Think about position

Grey has many different undertones depending on the shade. Rooms that are south-facing are full of light throughout the day making them warmer in tone. To maximise the space you have, grey colours with hints of soft blue are a great way to accentuate the room even further as they contrast the natural warm tone. North facing rooms have a slighter colder light throughout the rest of the day and as such, could benefit from using a warmer tone. Think about the placement of your room before you reach for the paint can as the overall look of one paint will be completely different in two rooms of opposing sides.

11. Pare it back

Opt for pared-back furniture and accessories. Grey teamed with wood has a naturally Scandinavian feel, so select pieces that will complete the Nordic look. Choose simple, clean lines when mixing two contrasting tones for an elegant, unfussy look.
