The warm gray family of colors is very big for 2009. These are not cold in feel, but quite the contrary. A waltz through any of the following rooms gives you the feel of peaceful serenity. This first example has a rich boldness yet with the balance of white maintains a comfortable lightness to the room.
The warm gray in this environment is of the palest variety, imagine a white with a touch of gray, no more. The softness of the wood flooring gives just the right amount of contrast and works beautifully with the soft neutrals of the upholstery.
A play on texture and softness describes this style approach, everything is white on white. When you are creating this feel in an room, color is of the most subtle yet there are many tones. The crisp white floor, fireplace and moldings tie together and play down the architecture in the room, thus creating the canvas for the off-white upholstery.
The warm gray flooring anchors this room at it's base, allowing the walls and ceiling to rise up from it. This creates the bottom layer for additional layering of gray to black. The baseboard in a similar shade of gray becomes attached to the floor and the result will make the room appear larger.
From this viewpoint you can see how the low black media storage ties the space together with the graphic pattern connecting and giving the feeling of height. This repeats the strong architectural feel of the tall bookcases previously featured throughout an otherwise neutral room.
