Switch up your decor with a little color refresh! The combo of yellow and gray is fun, relaxing, and inviting! (Plus it looks good in any room of the house!)
Yellow and Gray Decor
I thrive on changing up the decor in my house, so 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 decorating color schemes 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. Here are 20 beautiful spaces that use yellow and gray –
1. Starting off our list is a project that was linked to our link party YEARS ago, and it is still one of my favorites! This yellow and gray wall art from Blooming Homestead is so simple, but so pretty!
2. Add a little color to your kitchen by painting your island yellow, as seen on BHG.

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!
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!
I am loving yellow and gray. I want to redecorate my hall bathroom, but I am having trouble finding exactly what I imagine!
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.
I’m getting ready to do one of our bathrooms in yellow and grey. My other favorite combo is black, brick red and yellow.
We just designed our guest bedroom in yellow and gray and love it! http://livingsmallisbeautiful.blogspot.com/2010/11/yellow-and-gray-bedroom-update.html
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. 🙂
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!!
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!
We are renovating our new home & did our kitchen in yellow with red accents. We love it!
i also love yellow and gray and white! i am not much of a yellow person in general, so i am in the process of redoing my bedroom in gray and white andwill change out the accent color when i feel like it! right now it's gray, white, and blue, and i love the soothing and sohphisticated feeling!

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!
