Last year on the blog I brought you 2016’s hottest colour couple; red and charcoal. It was a stunning combination of soothing softness mixed with punchy warm accents. Just talking about it has me excited that Autumn is finally here again. If you want to see what all the fuss was about, you can click here to look at the dreamy photos of red and charcoal doing their thing in the bedroom. It was truly something.
Now, if red and charcoal have you smitten (and why wouldn’t they?), you’re more than welcome to rock this colour couple again in 2017. But before you decide on your Autumn shades, let me show you another sublime option. Because if you ask me, this season is all about blush and grey.
The added bonus is that you can win a prize pack in these gorgeous shades from my friends at Lorraine Lea. All the details are the end of this post. You’re welcome! 😉
Blush & Grey Decor Love this Autumn
The biggest selling point when it comes to blush and grey as a colour couple is that together, they’re the perfect blend of masculine and feminine. I always veer toward any aesthetic that achieves this sense of balance, because it makes your space feel well resolved. There’s a great contrast between the two shades but it’s not visually shocking. And in a space like a bedroom, nobody wants to be visually shocked!
The other bonus of blush and grey together is that you can control the dominant tone. Obsessed with pinks? Turn up the blush by rocking a bold feature wall. Or lay out a blanket across your bed like in the photo below. The Ultra Soft Blanket you see here is lightweight but wonderfully warm – and I love the embossing.
If grey is the colour you want to feature more of, go for it! Use dusty blush tones in accent pieces like bedside table accessories, or cosy cushions. Even a pop of pink flowers is a really nice touch against a grey backdrop. It’s all up to you!
Blush and Grey: Versatile and Easy to Introduce
Blush and grey are no wallflowers; they’re happy playing with just about every other colour in your home’s current palette.
They’ll work with black, white and beige. Plus you can introduce mint and indigo tones into the mix if you want to make the look more stimulating and visually varied.
In terms of other materials, warm metallics like copper and brass will work wonders with a blush and grey palette. As will both light blonde tones or moodier brown and black furniture.
It really is such a versatile colour combo. And if you look to pieces in these tones that feel cosy and tactile (like the Harper throw below; don’t you just want to touch it?), it’ll make the entire scene so cosy!
Hopefully your mind is as blown as mine is by the ravishing colour combo that is blush and grey. I love the sense of warmth it brings to a room. And as an avid fan of Autumn (I am so glad that summer is over!), I cannot wait to curl up under a blush blanket, grab a grey cushion and watch some trash TV. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is my current guilty pleasure. I won’t apologise for it – I’m hooked!

Love love these colours. I made my first Lorraine Lea Linen 7 years ago it still looks brand new even after weekly washes. Since then I’ve been updating my linen cupboard with many more purchases. I love the quality, colours and the versatility of the products. I also love the service, it’s amazing how quickly my products are delivered as I’m a rural customer.
I love that the blush has a cosy romantic feel and the masculinity of the grey keeps a mature look to the whole space that would suit most adult. Together the textures work soo beautifully to create the kind of environment that you just want to share with someone special
I love the great quality! The fact that they will stand the test of time and last years!
I love the real quality of these products and that they will stand the test of time!
I love how Lorraine Lea products provide exclusive ranges and this newest one is no exception. I love how my linen can only be purchased exclusively through a passionate spokesperson and that no one can simply go into the shop to purchase it. I love how I can interchange colours with my current ranges so I can always build on my collection-this colour is the perfect palette for the season and the textures sound so divine that not only I will love them but so will my husband!
With quality that lasts for years, with Lorraine Lea Linen, and these beautiful subtle tones what an autumn winner! Would make my bedroom complete. How exciting and thank you for the opportunity!
I love the products from the colour range to the magic soft touch of the blankets that make you feel snuggled and warm and at home. Lorraine Lea outshines itself again for wonderful options in home decor and inspires the welcoming feeling when you gaze upon your Lorraine lea accessorised room….what ever room that may be…….I love that my Lorraine Lea linen lasts and lasts – good quality, good life and great guarantee’s from Lorraine Lea!
I originally had a party recently to help my sister out & get a booking. Best thing I did. Iv purchased a new quilt, quilt cover, harper cushion & ultra soft blanket. It’s amazing quality and worth every cent. Will be definitely trying to add to my collection. May be slowly as we’ve just brought our first home. But its worth saving each week to get amazing beautiful good quality products. Thank you xx
To cuddle up on my charcoal couch this winter in these wraps with the cushions is a dream,
We recently had to sell our home and are renting. I need to put my stamp on this house to make it my home these colours are my colours I love them.
Love these fresh products. I run a bed and breakfast and the loraine lea products make it fresh and homey. The guests love it and i love the personal service from my consultant.
