A Great Color Combination: Green Meets Gray
There are some color combinations that are simply not seen very often, and for some reason the mix of green into a gray interior falls in this category. In fact, it took quite of bit of searching through photos on Houzz to find enough examples for this Ideabook. So much so that in a few of the rooms featured here the presence of green in the gray color scheme is in the form of plants!
Introducing green into a gray interior is a very fresh and modern color palette that can result in a serene and unexpectedly beautiful look. It is a color mix I'd just love to try in a room myself!

There is so much to adore about this bedroom, with the sweeping angles of the ceiling and light pouring in from every side. The gray and dusty blue palette is soothing, with small touches of green introduced through the presence of the modern green chair and a floral arrangement. How completely peaceful.
This room is made up of a subtle combination of gray, white, taupe, and brown. The light streaming in from the windows wash out the range of colors so that the space reads soft gray as a whole. A tall green arrangement placed on the table becomes the lively point of the space.
A gray and white kitchen receives a touch of color when a far wall is painted green. This choice leads the eye out the window to the green beyond while bringing the kitchen design to life.

Here is the kitchen from another view. Without the slice of green in the foreground, this kitchen image could be nearly be mistaken as a black and white photo.
In a nearly all gray space with dramatic floor to ceiling windows, a dividing wall painted green is virtually the only color in the space. Imagine the room without this block of green, it would loose a large portion of its interest.

It appears a large number of the images for this Ideabook come from the same design firm. Obviously they are not only fans of this color mix but are experts at it as well. Here a quiet living room is given a delightful punch of color with the addition of the yellow green chair and ottoman, along with a touch more green through the floral arrangement.
Here the green is seen through a large painting, which becomes the focal point of the room. More green is introduced with pillows and a floral arrangement.
A gray exterior is given a dash of high style with the addition of a green door.
Here is another image of the same building, this time from the interior. The green door brings a somewhat surprising and welcoming aspect to the modern design and if I were decorating this home the door color would be the beginning inspiration.
