Decorating With Gray Window Treatments

The color gray has become a popular choice for interior design – we’re seeing it on everything from paint to window treatments. Thought of as a neutral tone, gray blends with a variety of color palettes and is available in more hues than ever. At Nest Expressions, we can’t wait to show you how Hunter Douglas incorporates it into its fabrics and materials. Decorating with gray window shades and blinds is a blast, and here’s how we do it.

Working With Gray Window Shades & Blinds

Gray’s neutral tone serves as a foundation, allowing you to incorporate various accents and furnishings. Like blue, gray is a cooler color that’s easy to warm up. Gray window shades are versatile and go well in bedrooms, home offices, living rooms, and kitchens. We tell clients to pair soft gray Hunter Douglas shades with coordinating bed linens and accent pillows for a relaxing ambiance. A gray backdrop also serves well in other rooms, where you can complement it with cushions, artwork, and flooring.

What colors go with gray? This is the fun part because there are so many choices. For example, dark gray goes beautifully with practically any light or bright color. Try soft whites, creams, and pastels like light blue. Gray even goes with reds and oranges. Or, go for a dramatic, monochromatic look with different tones of gray on the walls, floors, furnishings, and window treatments.

Pair Gray Window Treatments with a Gold Accent Wall

We also tell clients to use different paint colors to complement their gray window treatments. Since these neutral colors don’t overpower a room, you can go outside the box and try a bit of gold. That’s right: A gold accent wall creates a striking balance between cool and warm for a sophisticated, luxurious aesthetic.

Add Visual Interest with Gray Vertical Blinds

Gray vertical blinds are a unique choice, adding a contemporary twist to traditional window covering styles. They draw the eye upward and can make ceilings seem higher – and once they’re installed, the room can look larger.

Layered Gray Window Shades and Blinds for Contrast

Many of our clients ask us about layered window treatments, and we’re glad to oblige. It’s a good idea to have some contrast; otherwise, the fabrics might all blend in together; using the wrong colors makes them clash.

One possibility is cream-colored Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades and custom drapes with a cream-and-deep gray pattern. And we’re all about combining patterns as long as they complement one another. Another option would be sheer panels surrounding Roman shades. That way, you’ll have light filtering and privacy when the shades are up.
