Grey Blue Paint Colors: Ideas for a Tranquil Mood

Grey Blue Paint Colors: Ideas for a Tranquil Mood brings decorating and color inspiration as well as shopping resources for admirers of this hue. You already know that after white, BLUE is my favorite! Whether used as a backdrop for walls or introduced as an accent, blue-grey often imparts a tranquil, atmospheric, and calm mood. Today, we’ll consider the range of possibilities then imagine an interpretation of breezy blue for a bedroom. Think un-fussy, sophisticated and gentle but “less precious.” Cheerful coastal interiors have their place, but a chalkier, more Belgian-flavored grey blue will occupy the spotlight today.

Blue-greys can often lend classic style as this kitchen demonstrates.

I’m not certain the blue gray walls in the bath below are the painted the same hue as the kitchen cabinets (above) since lighting and exposure issues may be at work.

If you like more blue in your blue grey paint color, here’s a possibility that is still in that sophisticated, chalky, Euro-inspired range.

Atmospheric & Serene Light Grey Idea

This mud room takes my breath away, and while I am not certain of the color the designer chose for it, I have an intelligent guess…

It seems reminiscent of Sherwin Williams Gray Screen – so do pin if you care to save it for future reference.

Ya know, sometimes it is about what is in the vase, and sometimes it’s the vase! If you have access like I do to fresh and free branches from outdoors, then rustic recycled glass receptacles are a perfect companion.

What’s on my own dresser? A vintage (and pleasingly tarnished) round silver tray holding Diptyque candles, heart-shaped tumbled stones from Israel, and old skeleton keys.
