The reason why grey walls are so tough to get right is that there are so many undertones.   Some greys are cooler with a blue or violet undertone while others can be warmer with a beige or green undertone (my husband hates the work “geige” but it works here).  Which one is perfect for your space depends on the other elements in your design (furniture, flooring, counters, art, etc.)  as well as the lighting so scroll through my top picks below to see which ones might work well for you.

Let’s start with the cooler colours – ones that have a blue undertone.  They will work well in modern spaces and can also be great for making small rooms feel more open and breezy.   Remember, paint colours on the wall will look darker than on a paint swatch so I’m going to start with the lightest one and work my way down.  Also, the chips below will look different on your computer or phone than in real life so always double check the colour before making a final decision.

I love Benjamin Moore Distant Gray because it’s barely there so it’s perfect in spaces where you want to use the same colour on the walls and on the ceiling.  This is a handy trick if you want a small space (or a space with weird angles and ceiling lines) to feel bigger.  You might not even notice that it’s a colour really but it’s just off white enough.

Another great cool shade is Benjamin Moore Chalk White.  Definitely more blue in this one so it’s great for bathrooms, laundry rooms, hallways and any other space you want to feel crisp and clean.   Because it has a tiny bit more colour than Distant Grey you will see a contrast with white trim, doors and ceilings.

In some lights Benjamin Tundra can look almost violet.  That’s why I love it in a nursery or bedroom.  It works beautifully with cool metals like silver and with woods like walnut.

We are warming up a bit but we’re still not in the “greige” category.  Genesis White and the darker Whitestone are my favourite greys when you’re looking for something cool that’s not blue.  Whitestone looks great in larger spaces with a lot of light and will contrast beautifully with white trim and doors.

Looking for a great grey that won’t feel too dark and cold in small spaces without a lot of light? A few years ago we painted Benjamin Moore Paper White on the walls in our apartment.  It’s partially below grade so the light isn’t great and the rooms aren’t big but it looks clean, fresh and contemporary without making the space feel gloomy and dark.  It’s definitely one of my top picks for all over interiors (the swatch below doesn’t do it justice)!

And of course you can’t talk about grey without mentioning Stonington Gray (currently on the walls in our entry and laundry room) and Coventry Gray.  They are both very neutral – not too cool and not too warm – and would like great in the living room, bedroom and kitchen.  Because Coventry Gray can look quite dark it also makes a great accent wall colour!

It’s getting warmer!  The next few colours have beige undertones and will feel more traditional (without being dated).  My go-to colour is Benjamin Moore Sea Pearl because it’s great for all-over interiors, will work with any design plus it has just enough colour to stand out against white trim and doors without making rooms feel too small.

If your rooms are larger with more light try Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray.  It’s perfect when you want to create a warm atmosphere in bedrooms, living rooms and nurseries.  You will definitely see more “beige” less grey in this one.

No conversation about grey would be complete with Gray Owl.  Surprisingly when you put it up against other greys it almost looks green – which it is!  Because it’s warm and earthy it’s beautiful with any wood plus looks cozy in any room.  You can’t go wrong with this one.

CUT DOWN ON CLUTTER:  Tidying up won’t cost you a thing other than some time.  Who knows – you might even make a little money by selling items you no longer use!  Getting rid of clutter is one of top ways to make any room feel larger.  Clean up the kitchen counters by putting away small appliances that are not regularly in use (how often do you really use that ice cream maker?), store measuring cups and bowls away in the cupboards, and arrange oils or spices neatly in the cabinet.

Same goes for the bathroom.  Sure, we all need extra toilet paper but store it in a pretty bin or basket to keep it out of sight.  Same goes for that collection of lotions, hair brushes, and make-up.  Speaking of make-up, take the opportunity to check expiration dates and get rid of anything that might be past its due date.  No sense hanging on that dried up nail polish bottle!

USE A LARGE MIRROR:  If your space is short on natural light make some more by using a large mirror!  Position it opposite a window or light source and it will reflect light back into the room making it feel brighter and larger.  In the bedroom you can place mirrors behind nightstand lamps to serve the same purpose.

WALL COLOUR:  It’s amazing how the right wall colour can transform a room.  If you want to make a space feel larger use cool colours like soft blue/greys.  Shades of blue visually recede, making the walls seem like they are farther away which in turn creates the illusion of a larger space.  A couple of my favourites are Benjamin Moore Constellation,  Benjamin Moore Sea Foam and Benjamin Moore Ocean Air– still bright and airy but also soft and grown-up.

And let’s not forget about white walls!  Use the same colour like Benjamin Moore Decorator’s White (it has the slightest hint of cool grey) on the walls and ceilings for a crisp, clean look.

For the perfect neutral try Benjamin Moore Sea Pearl or White Dove.  They are both just enough colour to make white woodwork and trim stand out.

GO BIG: It might seem strange but filling a small space with large items can actually make it feel bigger!  Skip a collection of small furniture and choose one large couch instead.  Not only will your family be more comfortable, the room will seem larger because it’s less cluttered.

Skip those postage sized rugs too!  They will break up the floor and make a room feel smaller.  Instead, invest in a large rug that will cover most of the floor and define the space.

In the bedroom, a larger headboard will not only make a statement, it will fill up the wall making the room feel bigger.

KEEP IT SIMPLE:  Not only will a simple, neutral colour scheme help make a room feel larger, the lack of sharp contrast will also make a it feel more relaxing – just like your favourite spa.  Minimize the variety of colours in a space and skip bold prints in large patterns. Instead,  choose curtains, rugs, bedding, towels and other fabrics in solid colours and natural textures like linen.
