6Classical
In a classically designed place, the color scheme does not have to be all earthy tones only. Soft grey walls contrast to white moldings while vintage furniture with greys, whites and pinks complement the whole aesthetic of the room, giving it a modern yet classical vibe.

9Noble Grey
In a living room with high ceilings, everything above the eye level is in light colors, while it gets darker below the eye level to balance the huge space. Grey sofas combined with striped armchairs bring both the darks and the lights together, adding to the luxurious ambiance with metal accents.

In a room with lots of wooden details like ceiling beams or the cupboards, grey would be a complementary yet contrasting color with its cool tone against the warmness of the wood, adding depth and dimension to the room, and balancing everything out.

Using only grey in a living room may not be a terrible choice after all. Using different shades of grey along with patterns and textures is enough to design a homely place with a masculine look.
39Green View
When a room has an amazing view of greenery, you can opt for keeping the room fairly simple with whites and greys to draw attention to the view with big windows, bringing light to the room.
