Brooke Shields.

In the past, associations with the color gray in interiors have been unfavorable. A staple in the '80s, it can often be lumped into the category of outdated trends. However, with the right styling, gray can be extremely chic and modern, as proven by Brooke Shields' living room.

The actor recently shared a clip inside her living area, which features a smooth, gray sofa, a gray-painted bookshelves, and a variety of books and objects on display. The monochrome color scheme is a stylish approach to using gray in the living room, wherein the color is accented by accessories and textures. We are convinced that this color is due for a big comeback, and designers agree that with the right styling methods, gray can be as sophisticated as ever.
