Recently, my husband painted the lower level bathroom, gray. With red accessories and chrome accents, it looks fab.

I love the elegant feel of grey.

i love gray!! i have been using gray for 20 years, finally everyone else is catching on.

I love the grays. Im an artist and I love the contrast between the lights and dark, very good value. I also, think the simplicity of the room is very refreshing,.

I would love to see a little more sparkle (with silver accents, mirrors, crystal) and a teensy weensy bit of deep red.

Sorry, but this is too much grey for me. It makes the whole room like an ash tray.

Posted by Diana – September 21, 2008 5:07 PM

i LOVE that gray! I always want to do it, but am a little weary. This is beautiful!!

The room is lovely, however so much grey feels a little lifeless.

Beautiful beyond words, of course it''s a Candice design. I was looking today at a kitchen remodel with Pewter w/Graphite Glaze ( Kraft Maid) stunning.

If Candice had ANYTHING to do with any room, you can best believe it will be beautiful.

I have used the metallic silver paint (Ralph Lauren) in my bar and it does'nt look good at all. I put it on with a close nap roller and it has streaked on the walls. What can I do to get a metallic finish or just a smooth finish?
Thank you,
Christy

It just seems a little too cold for a bedroom. I need a little warmer color or accent to make it feel cozy. Maybe a blue throw or accent pillows. It needs some warming up.

re: Why So Gray ? by Candice Olsen; where might one find those fabulous chairs?

Posted by Lora – September 23, 2008 3:27 PM

We LOVE gray! Absolutely our favorite neutral that goes with every color. It is so serene and calming and works really great in a bedroom, as shown in your photo.

Posted by Tonic Home – September 23, 2008 8:11 PM

I like it very much. I would add a pop of color as well.

Posted by Boda – September 24, 2008 9:39 AM

It looks nice, but it is not for me. I like elegants with color, like silver and gold together with red.

Posted by Belinda – September 24, 2008 3:53 PM

LOVE THOSE CHAIRS!! Any idea where to get them or some like them??

Posted by Amanda – September 24, 2008 8:32 PM

i love the gray. i have been thinking about using it in my bathroom.

Posted by lbaums – September 24, 2008 8:49 PM

That is so so beautiful, i wish that was my room

Posted by maggie – September 25, 2008 4:30 PM

The room is gorgeous!!! It looks like a very soothing space to end your day or just spend some relaxing time away from the stress of our every day lives.

I have been thinking of painting our master bedroom gray. I have been worried about a cold feeling. Your room is beautiful. I hope I can pull it off. I will study your picture for tips to keep it warm and inviting!

Posted by Kristin – September 26, 2008 8:33 AM

This room is very unique and the gray stands out wonderful

Posted by Carolyn – September 27, 2008 5:17 AM

Wow, the shades of gray on the couches look great...

I love the color of gray on your walls. What is the name and brand of the paint? We are trying to find a shade of gray for our kitchen and after 2 attempts, we are getting frustrated.

This looks great. I would have never thought of using grey in my bedroom. Again, this is absolutly wonderful.

Posted by maggie – September 29, 2008 3:34 PM

Although I love Candice's makeover, I am puzzled by the use of grays in so many of her and other's designs. To me, (and it is only my opinion), gray is a very depressing color. We went the gray color route in the 80's in our son's room. Never again!!!

I prefer the cool palette to the warm, so I tend to decorate in grays. Look at the finer suits for men and you have a wonderful array of textures and shades to choose from. This room is beautiful!

Posted by Diana – September 30, 2008 10:46 PM

very soothing. I can see a color scheme like this working in a bathroom as well. A lot of our clients at myhomeus.com are searching for spa-like design palettes for their bedrooms and bathrooms and this gray certainly fits the bill!

Posted by Rod – October 1, 2008 9:51 AM

O! Yes. I would love to sleep in a room exactly like it.

Posted by p muhammad – October 1, 2008 10:21 PM

I love this look, it looks clean & inviting. I have this look in my bedroom and enjoy it very much. Love HGTV I enjoy your programs very much and I got many ideas from watching your shows. Thanks, Tammy

Looks great....could a purple be worked in with that????

Posted by gail – October 6, 2008 12:12 PM

I'm looking at a lot of color questions on this blog. All of you are correct with your color pairings.

A really good tip I learned years ago was to look at high-end men's suits and ties. See how much color variation there is in a good tie? You can blend all those colors with your base of gray or beige.

I'm a "winter palette", and have always decorated in shades of gray. It never goes out of style, yet always looks stylish - and you can change your accent colors as the seasons progress. Think of it in terms of "everything goes", and don't forget to have fun!

Posted by Diana – October 9, 2008 8:09 PM

The room is very put together, however..the greys are far too overwhelming in this room. A little touch of grey can be so elegant but too much brings depression to a room. A little color never hurt anyone!!

Posted by Mrs. TommyG – October 13, 2008 2:30 AM

Can anyone please tell me the brand and name of the paint she used? This is the color palette of my bedroom.
