But choosing the right grey is notoriously tricky, and getting it wrong can leave a room feeling flat and lifeless. In Shades of Grey, renowned interiors journalist Kate Watson-Smyth demystifies this most elegant of neutrals, drawing on years of research and expert interviews to help homeowners find their perfect hue with confidence. About the Book : There's no doubt about it, grey is the shade of the moment. On-trend restaurants, shops and homes are covered in it, and there's barely an interior decorating programme that doesn't feature it. Yet achieving the perfect grey is far from as simple as buying a tin of paint and rolling it onto the wall. Choose badly and a room can feel cold and energy-sapping; choose well and the same space becomes sophisticated and modern. So how do you track down that elusive perfect hue? In this beautifully presented hardback, Kate Watson-Smyth explores why grey has captured our imagination and consults experts, including colour scientists, leading paint brands and top interior decorators, who share their favourite shades along with tricks of the trade. She breaks down the spectrum of greys on offer, from warm taupey tones to cool, steely blues, guiding readers through a simple process of elimination to find the shade that will genuinely work in their space. Packed with gorgeous photography and practical advice on lighting, undertones and testing samples, this is an essential reference for anyone contemplating a grey scheme.
