The Art of Arranging

Published May 1, 2017

Fifty shades of grey is still one of the top trends in home decor and with all those shades, arranging is easy. No matter what the tone or hue, grey suggests classic refinement. With grey tones, a room, wall or piece of furniture feels elegant and rich, yet totally livable. Grey is a sophisticated neutral. With subtle pops of color (we decided on orange!) it can bring the room to life. Shades of grey can be mixed and matched without ever looking forced. With hints of white, the texture of the artwork, furniture or accessories comes alive.

Classic grey is versatile and elegant. With subtle pops of color, you can bring a room to life.
Not every piece of artwork needs to be hung when arranging a cozy vignette on a side table, hutch or bureau. Simply leaning a piece on the wall sometimes allows everything to come together. Flowers and fresh fruit can make a wonderful eye-catching statement when used to decorate.
Grey color themes go well with silverware and make the colors in food particularly striking. Fiery habaneros and icy earth tones on dinner plates accent this contrast.
Make a statement on a dining table or any table for that matter, with a decorative bowl filled with colorful fruit.
When arranging objects on a bookshelf or similar piece of furniture, don’t try to fill every space, let the objects breathe in their space and they will shine.
