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!

My mother is a huge fan of blush and dusty pink coloured clothes. I’ve always loved how well she looked on our home couches and now I can style the house without asking to have her clothes turned into cushion covers! The Lorraine Lea, Harper collection is perfect for that sophisticated touch without overdoing it.
The quality is first class, the colours are fabulous just fantastic merchandise
I am obsessed with Linen – Lorraine Lea Linen!! The quality, colours, styles, and the fresh feeling of every single product outshines any other brand I have come across!! I cannot recommend Lorraine Lea Linen enough to friends and family and to make it even better, each stylist fully believes in the products!! Reassuring me on each purchase. Love, love Lorraine Lea Linen!!
I love these colours together so much, I had this in mind when choosing the colours when I built my home. It creates this sense of elegance but still gives off that homely feel.
I love that the floor rug and Calais throw are classic pieces that combined with the textured dynamics of the Harper and current patterns of the ponti work amazingly to create depth and warmth to any room.
These have to be some of my favourite Lorraine Lea releases this season!
Love the range and the beautiful textures! The soft pink really lifts the charcoal features and gives it such a modern but edgy feel. Love love love all the pieces, the tones and the contrast of textures.
Yes the blush and grey are on trend, but you need to feel the luxurious fabrics. The quality of Lorraine Lea Linen products has to be felt and seen to be fully appreciated, it is divine. There is an impressive range of coordinates in blush and grey. Your friends will think you have your own personal interior decorator. However, when you invite them to a Lorraine Lea Linen in home demonstration, you will get to share your secret interior decorator. I can’t wait to update my home with the new Lorraine Lea blush and grey range.
Why wouldn’t you love them all! The couples and textures warm up any home, especially with the cooler night and morning coming into play! I would love nothing more than to suggle with my family in the beautiful Harper and Calais throws while resting on the soft Harper and Ponti cushions on a cool Autumn night.
I love the Terra quilt covers so The Greyand the pink together
