RIP..... I am reliably informed that it is over for the colour grey.....

[justasking111]

So grey is on the way out, so polish your crystal balls, what colour schemes do we have to look forward to walls, flooring and furniture wise.

The dado rail had lincrusta beneath it and wallpaper above. My friend still has this in her old home. Ceilings are so much higher in old properties. So the dado, picture rail or plate rack were much admired.

I don't really care. I'm just about to do my kitchen, cream gloss doors, brown leather lazy boy recliner sofa, heavily influenced by the curtains which are also brown. Everywhere else is vaguely yellow with a green hint. Seriously couldn't care less what Instagram says.

By the Harry Potter studios (beyond, you wouldn't see them if you come from London/the station) are new estates. There are rows of houses with sage green doors, then rows with black doors. Identical. I'd hate to go home pissed in a taxi: 'Yeah, this one! No, that one! Oh fuck, I have no idea which one is mine!'

Ever liked grey, beige, magnolia etc - utterly tedious. Don’t come to my house if you don’t like colour, lol

They can pry my grey colour scheme from my cold dead hands.

paints another wall

I've removed (nasty fairly modern) panelling in the kitchen. To my horror, there is green painted anaglypta wallpaper underneath which will need steaming off. Above this is a delightful string of ivy, lovingly painted by hand using a template. Bonkers. I'm blaming the vendors, they'd done the same around the whole periphery of the kitchen, 20x10 of green trailing ivy.

Is has been dying for the last 10 years...
Just in the same way that duck egg palettes were never going to last.

But I anticipate a earth tone palette with plenty of light browns and muted burnt umber. If you want to know what comes next, look at clothes shops. The colours of the year are agreed every year by the Colour Group but take about 5 years to cascade to the high street

Primrose and blue

We used grey more than 20 years ago. Everyone was why the undercoat/concrete. Now it's everywhere and yes, looks like undercoat/concrete.

I'm quite happy with my patterns and bold colours. Love www.worldofwallpaper.com/versace-giungla-palm-leaves-wallpaper-green-and-cream-96240-5-10m-x-70cm.html

I don't understand why people do identikit houses either.

Honey spice? No thanks!

I vote for stiffkey blue as well, also like dark duck egg blue and rainbow!

Boris Johnson nipple pink.

Omg grey has been SO over for YONKS people!

I've just perused Pinterest and there are an alarming amount of spongy paint effects in an ombre style.

noooo that sounds like a nightmare to achieve...

So,brown, then.

When gloss comes back in, I shall be ready

I must say I'm surprised at those suggesting navy as it's been quite hot for about 5yrs now - along with that bloody awful battleship grey

Thank god it's over for grey. I have hated gray car interiors with black carpet & dash and even grey for the entire interior for travel trailers and camper vans. Hideous.

I've never been keen on treaty colour schemes. 15 years ago it was that pale dusty plum colour and I knew a woman who decorated her husbands entire office complex in it. No one could stop her. Carpet, blinds, paint, seat covers, toilet seats, all the surfaces in a pinky plum. I bet that looks really dated now.

The point of the dado rail is to protect the walls from furniture.

That spiced honey looks like nicotine stained walls.

Oh, I thought you meant in hairstyles and thought I was fucked haha

Hopefully it means the end of those tacky grey crushed velvet sofas

Bright colours like the Changing Rooms 1990s era

Ooh yes! The return of the navy blue bathroom with neon lime green accents

(I would argue that grey is not neutral as it doesn't go with everything - including some other greys - there are too many variants.)
