Gray is Here to Stay for Custom Closets and Home Décor
In the world of interior design, including custom closets, the color gray is popular. Gray evokes calm and order, and it seamlessly blends with a number of color schemes and styles. From minimalistic, contemporary reach-in closets to warm, traditional walk-ins, there’s a shade of gray to suit every aesthetic. At Strickland’s Home, we have closet organization systems available in over 10 shades of gray. Here are a few to consider for custom closets.
Breakwater: Breakwater is a neutral shade of gray, almost 50/50 black and white, with no wood grain pattern. Because of this, it makes a great blank palette for a burst of color and contrast, like in this transitional walk-in with modern gold accents. It can also easily be cooled down with white marble surfaces and silver accents, like this contemporary walk-in.
Morning Mist: Morning mist is a light green-gray color with subtly varied wood grain, a perfect palette for a beach house entryway or mudroom on Wrightsville. This color does well with other natural neutrals and simple decor for a farmhouse or shaker-style custom closets.
Driftwood: Driftwood is a rich medium-warm gray with subtly varied wood grain in tan and gray. It’s a great wood grain for a relaxed guest bedroom closet or for a welcoming walk-in closet. This shade can easily match a rustic, natural look for the Cape Fear Riverside or a more traditional, relaxed look for a Southport home.
Mackinac: Mackinac is a medium gray with a large, varied wood grain pattern. This combination of traditional wood grain with bold contrast makes for an eye-catching contemporary walk-in. Combined with white shelving and walls, light to medium grays can also make the closet space seem larger.
