Decorating With Yellow and Gray

I thrive on changing up the decor in my house. I do it as often as I can, whether it’s rearranging furniture, moving around accessories, adding color… you get the picture.  One of my favorite trends in decorating is the combo of Yellow and Gray! I’m more of a fan of the muted yellows, but any shade of gray will do, I think the soft yellow goes great with a light gray all the way to a dark charcoal.  Enjoy the eye candy and get inspired!

  1. I have to say I LOVE yellow & gray! I saw it last spring (2009) on a card someone made & last summer we painted my house gray with yellow trim (I'm impulsive, yes, but in my defense the house DID need to be painted). I love love love the color combo! Thanks for all the pretty pictures!

    Oh my gosh, I LOVE yellow and gray. I also love raspberry and gray. But there's not a lot of places you want a ton of raspberry colored paint. (we talked my mom into doing her craft room gray with one raspberry wall. I covet it!!) I kind of also have a love affair with teal.

    I'm so glad you showed that kitchen. We're considering painting our kitchen cabinets when we put in a wood floor. I wanted some a gray color, but couldn't picture if it would look good on dark hardwood. And now I know…it does!! Yay!

    When I got married way back in 92 I wanted a yellow and grey floral for the bride's maids dresses…could I find it? No.

    Very pretty examples!!

    I am new to loving yellow and gray. I think Sarah Richardson called it 'yellow and graphite'? She did an awesome yellow and graphite bath in her recent show on HGTV.
    I've yet to decorate my home with the combo, just my blog. :)

  9. I’m getting ready to do one of our bathrooms in yellow and grey. My other favorite combo is black, brick red and yellow.

  10. I love yellow & gray too…we’re actually using that color combo for our bedroom! {http://www.atkinsondrive.com/about/home-tour/}
    My other favorite would have to be anything turquoise/robin’s egg blue/etc. but especially with red for a vintage feel.

  11. I am loving yellow and gray. I want to redecorate my hall bathroom, but I am having trouble finding exactly what I imagine!

  12. That farmhouse bathroom is INSANE! Oh my gosh, I could hang out in there all day! ;-) . I do love the look f yellow and gray, but have a hard time introducing gray in my home because it seems to conflict with the beige carpet and tile I have throughout my home. I’m really smitten with teal lately, and am in the process of painting the media space in my basement in a deep, moody blue color (Aegean Teal), with accents in green and other shade of blue. It’s really a versatile color and I love that you can punch it up with orange, yellow – lots of options!

  13. I think yellow and gray look awesome together!!! I’m generally a “Blue” color lover, but we did remodel our Guest Bathroom and went with yellow and gray! Thanks for sharing all the wonderful photos!
