Color Combo: Yellow and Gray

5-9-08yellowgray4.jpg

Our friend is decorating her bedroom in yellow and gray - a color combination we love. She thought it might be too trendy at first, but she loved the pieces she found so much that she decided to go with it. We think that's the right way to approach decorating - don't worry too much about trends and do what you love because you're the one living with it. In honor of our friend, here's a roundup of yellow and gray color combos...

Don't be shy about yellow and gray! When I moved in to a new place last spring I went with yellow and gray in my bedroom and I LOVE it!

I just finished painting my kitchen walls yellow and my cabinets grey. It looks great! I highly recommend this combo.

These colors feel so soothing together.

I've used yellow and gray for years and it is amazing how many combos and different effects you can get with all the tones and hues of both colours. gray is my favorite neutral.

My brother remodeled his house last year. He painted his entire house the same yellow as his honeymoon suite in Hawaii. The yellow walls and his gray accent furniture look beautiful together.

There is a beautiful example of yellow and gray in this month's InStyle magazine with Cameron Diaz on the cover. The room inside has gray walls with a strong white crown moulding, and cheery yellow curtains. It looks beautiful!
