Be it natural or artificial, greenery can always come to your rescue while you are designing with grey. If you are looking to design a minimal living room and are combining the colours white and grey, it can often end up looking clinical. To avoid this, add in a few plants to your decor and you will be all set. And if you have a black thumb, faux plants can be your saviour. 

3. Add Some Depth To Your Bathroom

White bathrooms are often a favourite, but adding a dose of grey into the mix creates some stunning results. Whether designing your bathroom walls, cabinetry or both, a subtle grey can help you create plenty of contrast against black tiled flooring (another bathroom designing favourite) and add depth and dimension to your space.

4. Layer Shades Of Grey

Grey is a calm and soothing colour, so calm that it can often make the space look dull and lifeless. But you can always layer different shades of grey to achieve a cool and contemporary look. Take inspiration from this modern living room – the textural effects of the rug and the throw add vibrancy to the room while the clever combination of light and dark grey adds interest. This is about as minimally modern it could get and we absolutely love it.

5. Pair Grey With Warm Wood Tones

Pairing grey with warm wood tones can be a real game-changer. The key to nail this design is surrounding the grey with multiple shades of brown wood so it can really pop in the space. The light wooden floor allows the grey wall to shine beautifully thus helping you design that perfect grey modern interiors you’re looking for. 

6. Play With Textures
