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!

LOVING the Faux Cow Hide and Harper range that’s been released!
Have always wanted a cow hide but never been able to justify the money for the real thing but now Lorraine Lea have released one; it makes it so much more affordable and possible for me to have one!
Fantastic thing about the Harper range is that I would be able to use the charcoal colouring for my wildlife caring (hand raising baby possums etc that need fluffy warmth) and then am able to spread the blush throw across my lounge keeping me warm in the chilly months!!
Have to admit one of my most favourite things about Lorraine Lea is their 12mth guarantee! You certainly don’t get that kind of support or reliability from any other store
I always felt soft greys added a modern touch to a room. So bringing in these beautiful soft pinks, with the greys just gives it a luscious feel. The fabrics, a warmth and cosy feel making you wanting to just wrap yourself up and stay in your own little world.
Even though blush and grey are not bright colours, they can still very much brighten up any living space. I love the soft tones paired with the soft fabric textures. The blush and grey work so well together, pink has always been my favorite colour and seeing it teamed up with grey makes it look stunning.
Absolutely in love with this colour combo and just the injection of warmth my white and grey toned bedroom needs. The Lorraine Lea range looks wonderfully luxurious and textural. We have just renovated so this is just the jump start needed to stop my ‘scared to buy anything as don’t know what will work!’ Syndrome!
Loving the new range and how versatile it is! I have already purchased the blush Harper cushion cover and grey ultra soft blanket and they match in perfect with my couch and other accessories! Can never have enough Lorraine lea Linen products
This range of colours is so stunning you would be crazy not to fall head over heels in love with them the first time you set eyes on them. I and anyone for that matter would be lucky to have these in their home.
I love the blush range. It’s not overly feminine so it would match beautifully with my furniture at home
love the colours there amazing together
i need to paint my lil girls room so i can decorate with this cokour scheme
these colours also would go amazing with my ezra quit cover

What’s not to love. It’s moving from summer colours to warm winter colours. It’s sophistication, elegance and poshness all rolled into one! Everything I dream of owning…and also something I’d do anything to keep my kids Vegemite fingers off
I love that LL last so long, wash after wash and still looks and feels brand new
