Gray is Far From "Out"
Using color in your home involves more than choosing your favorite shades. Color can be a powerful tool that helps create beautiful and inviting spaces. Our color choices can affect our moods, evoke emotions, and even influence our behavior. It is also an important element of interior design that should be carefully considered when planning any home remodel or decoration project.
While design trends come and go, one consistency seems to have remained in some form throughout the years: gray walls. While you may have heard that "gray is out", this neutral color has huge potential when it comes to creating the space of your dreams and is still gracing walls across the country. With different shades, undertones, and finishes, your gray walls can be just as stylish and timeless as ever.
But now the question remains: what color window treatments should I pair with my gray walls? The Bloomin' Blinds experts are here to guide you through your options.
Choosing Your Style
When it comes to design, the type of window treatment you choose can drastically impact your space. Shutters, blinds, shades – the options for window treatments are endless! But ultimately, it's up to you to decide how you want your space to look.
When choosing treatments, it's important to consider functionality and design. Are you looking to keep light out or let light in? Do you want corded or cordless blinds? How about the option to motorize? All of these preferences should be taken into consideration when you go to select your treatments.
Go Monochromatic
One great way to pair gray walls with window coverings is to go monochromatic. Gray on gray can be a sophisticated and stylish option for any space, as the subtle differences in hues can create an elegant and timeless look.
When pairing gray walls with gray window coverings, it's important to strike the right balance between subtlety and contrast; too much of the same tone or hue can create a dull, monochromatic look. It's best to use different shades of gray that are complementary yet distinct enough to provide contrast and visual interest within your space.
If you want a gray-on-gray look, the type of window covering you choose can add significant charm and character to the design. Gray indoor shutters will make a room feel timeless and elegant, while gray blinds will provide a more sleek and modern look.

Make It Pop!
Gray walls paired with white window coverings can be a great way to create a bright and airy space. The contrast between the two colors will make the room pop while still maintaining its classic elegance. When pairing gray walls with white window treatments, it is important to keep in mind some do's and don'ts of interior design:
- Do use different shades of gray that are complementary yet distinct enough to provide contrast and visual interest within your space.
- Do choose white window coverings that fit your home’s style; for instance, roman shades will add dimension and texture, while shades are more discreet and bright.
- Don't go overboard by using too much of either color; balance is key when creating any design scheme.
- Don't choose starkly contrasting whites as this could create an overly harsh look in the room.
With careful consideration and planning, you can find just the right combination of colors to make your gray walls look fabulous against white treatments.
