This week the Remodelista editors experimented with color—and discovered the warming powers of the perfect shade of gray. Here are their five favorite design ideas for adding warmth with a dash of gray:
Gray Kitchen Cabinets

Classic English Pottery

In Montreal, emporium Les Touilleurs is a “classic store with big open-pantry displays that evoke true kitchen feelings,” say its owners. See what’s on offer in this week’s Shopper’s Diary.
Concrete Candelabra

The simple texture of cast concrete can marry modern and traditional design elements together in a room. See more ideas in this week’s Steal This Look post.
Oil Paintings
