I know it was popular and now a bit of colour is more popular, but I am Scandinavian and it has always been my go to. I am decorating a buy-to-let and wondering if I should avoid my go-to grey and white. It's so easy as I even know the paint numbers I like off by heart!!!

I hate that grey "look".
There's so much grey sky and then bringing it indoors as well. 🙄

For a rental I'd do white or Jasmine white which is slight warmer.
The renters can add their own colours.

We painted the hallway of our Victorian house grey back in the mid 1990s. The paint had to be mixed as no-one seemed to stock anything deeper than palest grey off the shelf. We added a vibrant yellow above the dado (remember those?) and added print room style applied decoupage cut outs in black and white. Fab, lol!!!

Since then we've moved house five times and I don't think we've ever used grey paint again 😉

We love loads of saturated colour, but that's just us. If you like grey, OP, and it's for a rental, I'd go ahead - as others have said, it's a good neutral backdrop for other colours in the furnishings etc....

I love white walls and neutral floor (preferably wood) so I can add pops of colours with my soft furnishings.

I rented for a long time but my last two owned flats have been the same...

I have just bought a grey sofa and armchair but am making some very striking cushions to go on them!

It’s done in terms of grey EVERYTHING, but the right shade is a classic wall colour that can move with the times as the furniture etc changes.
