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!

Beautiful!
I just want to curl up on my lounge with a cup of coffee and a good book, surrounded by the cushions and gorgeous throw!
My idea of a welcoming home!
Am starting a reno on kitchen, dining, living making it open planned and these textures and colours are inspiring me as I’m struggling in the design area for my living area although I know my daughter would try to steal them for her bedroom!! Just gorgeous, love the colours and the softness.
This colour combo is beautiful and I love the different textures. Our house is stark white at the moment after a little bit of renovating. These cushions and throws would really add some warmth and life to the place.
Stunning! The colours make me so calm and content! I’m moving in with my partner next month and starting our first home together.. these would be the perfect addition to our living area that would compliment his taste in greys and mine in pinks!
Crushing hard on that faux cow hide! Environmentally conscious and super stylish, what more could you want!
Im tradionally a black and white girl, but I’ve always had a soft spot for all shades of grey and that blush pink just compliments it perfectly. I feel warm and cozy just looking at those throws, and don’t even get me started on those amazing textures!
STUNNING!!!!
This color palette is absolutely gorgeous. I would seriously love to win this prize pack, i have been wanting to style my master bedroom since we’ve moved in and I think this pack is spot on. The color ooze romance but the textures scream luxury.
I love everything about this : )
I absolutely love the texture of the LL range. And I am just trying to finish my daughter’s blush and grey room her name is Harper haha! Most of the prize is far too lovely just to have in her room so she might be able to have a cushion and a throw and I can have the rest for the house!!
My favourite colour combo right now (is it bad that I have even incorporated this colour scheme into my wedding?? – I’m so obssessed with it!). I’m loving grey at the moment and how the addition of pastels give you a feeling of warmth, coziness and comfort. Heading into winter I’m just imagining snuggling up on the lounge on a rainy day with a cup of tea, a good book and that gorgeous Harper blush throw – an introverts dream!
These are 2 of my favourite colours. I find them calming and peaceful. When my depression is at its worst, i hide in my room and these colours help to soothe and calm me. Great Choices Chris x
This Blush and Grey combo is so elegant, warm and classical. Tranquility comes to mind, to describe how it would feel to be surrounded by this duo in your home.
