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 the blush as a soft romantic colour, great in the bedroom without being too girly. The grey shades for the man of the house really complement the blush as a ‘couple’ quite well. Love love love!!
I decorated my home in “peach” and grey in the 1980s.I thought it was so last century! I’d love to revisit these colours by giving them a modern edge as Lorraine Lea as shown is fresh and appealing.
Yesterday i had a Lorraine Lea linen party with my family,friends and our lovely consultant Michelle Miles .I was lucky enough to get some free items and some half price things ,but i would love to win this to top it off. I got the white Taya doona cover and this pack would be fantastic to make my room beautiful.

My family are cattle breeders and I can’t wait to have the ‘Faux Cow Hide’ in my living room – it’ll look awesome!
I love how Lorraine Lea make decorating so easy with affordable and interchangeable items. Wow, a definite win-win combination !
This look and range of colours makes your home feel cosey and warm on a cold Winter’s night. Its just beautiful.
I have just had a fantastic afternoon Lorraine Lea linen party with my friends and our beautiful consultant Michelle Miles. I was so happy when I got to order things for half price and money off items.I have ordered the Taya doona cover in white and I so would love to win this prize pack to add the accessories to make my room complete.
I love how neutral and on trend the tones are, they suit the four seasons and would combine likely with many combinations to create a soft, inviting rooms that give a vibe of calm tranquility.
Plug& grey living together in perfect harmony …. has the same melody as the Paul McCartney/Cat Stevens song Ebony & ivory and I would love to have them living in perfect harmony in my home.
Elegance and style underpin the range. Lorraine Lea Linen are leaders in classic and timeless collections. The blush and grey palate compliment many spaces and the quality is second to none! My home is given a personal touch, whilst always keeping up with contemporary trends.
I just LOVE the grey and blush colours around at the moment. They are just stunning and a perfect combination of colours. I also LOVE Lorraine Lea linen. I have a few items and I have been really happy with them.
