Is anyone else sick of the sight of grey?

[DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou]

We bought a house 6 months ago. Needs new everything, carpets, kitchen, bathroom etc.

We needed new sofas as well

Everything is grey. There are various different shades and shapes but grey.

Grey fucking grey.

Even trying to get curtains 294782927 grey.

Even buying baby toys for the baby. Grey play mats ffs.
Grey ball pits?! With grey balls?!

I used to like grey.

I hate grey anything but loathe black sofas, especially leather or faux leather ones. So slippery and unwelcoming. Couple them with grey walls, grey carpets and bathroom tiles and black worktops with grey or shiny white kitchen cupboards and you have my idea of hell. I also hate Venetian and vertical blinds. I love fabrics and textile features. Colour and texture all the way but nothing garish or over the top. I like browsing houses on the market but am always put off by drab interiors and grey or black and white colours.

I HATE grey.

I have warm and bright colours in my house. I love colour, it's cosy and cheerful and relaxing. If I wanted to live in a frickin' office I'd paint my house grey.

I loved the grey vibe when it was a new thing - back then it was mixed in with other colours. Now I see houses painted in grey with grey carpets and grey kitchen cabinets & counters - all grey! It's awful (we're house hunting so I'm seeing a lot of this). It reminds me of when accent walls became a thing, at first I liked the trend but then it was all over the place in jarring bright colours. Too many people lack subtlety in interior decor and forget that there can easily be too much of a good thing.

I still like grey but in moderation and I detest grey carpets! I'm more into 'greige' tones that blend with brighter colours.

Which site are you referring to?

Grey will now go out of fashion very quickly ...no one will want a dull colour ..or feel like they are sat in a cave after lockdown.....I guess blue and lemon will make a show as everyone is missing holidays and the beach and yellow is a bright , happy ,warm colour xx

Bought a beat-up old house overlooking the sea and surrounded by bush. It was painted in a dull beige-yellow with brown trims. We've repainted in a mid-grey, with white detailing and black trims. Bronze-coloured planters and black pots, filled with palms and cordylines. Covered verandah with charcoal grey railings and rattan furniture. Inside, the walls are a soft green-grey, with loads of rattan, quirky wooden antiques, grey/brown wooden flooring, textured 60s pottery, potted palms, floaty white linen curtains, wooden bookshelves loaded with books and "special" things, mostly in shades of black/dark blue/bottle green and white. Kitchen bench is grey, with white tiled walls and stainless accents. I love it, and will never tire of it. It suits the bush and sea setting, is soothing and restful. There is grey, and then there is grey.

Hate grey. The weather is depressing enough without bringing the colour of a rainy day inside the house. Thank God lime green has had its day too.

I don’t know where you are but the sun’s shone almost constantly here for three months.

^^ I feel like grey has been around for ages

I'm sick of all grey. I follow DIY on a budget on Facebook and it's all grey. It can look nice and fresh sometimes on pictures however on dull dreary days I just imagine everything to feel very....grey?

I do have a grey carpet in my living room, but the rest of the room is very bold colours, not a 'splash of colour'.

There is grey in a bedroom upstairs which we haven't changed since moving in, my partner isn't bothered by it but I hate it feels like an office in an industrial park.

Apart from that theres different colours in every room of the house, but I personally like that as it feels like a different vibe in each room.

Grey is not stylish it's just dull and for those with no taste of their own. I blame elephants breath, would grey be so popular if it was called elephant's arse

It is not just interior design. I am fed up with grey cars too. Would much rather have a racing green or metallic blue or even red depending on the car.

Grey does my head in - every person I know who has decorated recently is going for 'dove grey' walls, grey carpet, grey sofa, grey bed covers, grey bloody diamanté's head boards.

I think it's good to have a neutral background but get some colour in there. I love crimson, turquoise, mustard etc for a feature wall.

Grey go away.

The grey look in interiors has always been awful. I cannot believe how many people went for that look whole scale. The Mrs Hinch person’s house is a particularly bad example.

Recently, I have also felt the Scandinavian look is too pale and too drab - especially in Scandinavia with their cold grey winters. Scandi dramas have a lot to answer for.

Those people who have eclectic taste have much more interesting houses.

Grey is the colour of school uniforms and full skies.

Yes. It's so bloody boring! All the colours out there and people decorate their houses entirely grey. We're house hunting and I've seen so many houses that are grey in every room. It just makes me think the owner follows mrs hinch 🙄

Will coloured bathroom suites be back in fashion soon do you think? My father had a hideous tobacco coloured affair, it might be considered retro now.

I've been trying to.buy a new sofa and the choices are far more limited if you don't want grey
Have you tried sofa workshop? We bought ours from their last year and there was almost too many colours to choose from. It took me ages to decide.

I've got very dark slate grey and white down stairs. There was a bad leak and it hides the fucked plaster better than the light green it was before .

I quite like it. I've got mismatched furniture and blue and gold paisley rugs, dark hardwood things and floor. In different rooms it's with either ochre or mixed reds. I don't like pale grey at all though, it looks sterile. I also hate any grey crushed velvet furniture.

Was a grey fan, but decorated mine grey before Mrs hinch. Recently decorated again and every bit of grey is gone, I’m already moving into the next trend 😂

I hate grey but I think I hate the phrase 'pop of colour' even more.

Agreed! The expression “jewel colours” is in that category too, as is “feature walls”.

I hate grey but I think I hate the phrase 'pop of colour' even more.

Me too! Also 'accent' or 'team with'

Same! Plus realistically does an all grey/white room with a few pink/purple/insert other colour accessories actually look good? I think no ...

I saw a house on Rightmove recently where the theme seemed to be white with another colour in each different room and it looked nasty.

Goes off to finish painting DS room...,Grey 😂
