I Hate to Break it to You, But Gray is Here to Stay – Joanna Gaines Has Revitalised this 'Dull' Color in the Simplest and Most Elegant Way

Joanna Gaines / gray living room with fireplace.

If you thought, like me, that gray walls had very much had their moment, interior style maven, Joanna Gaines, is here to prove us wrong. Her living room at The Castle in Waco features the softest gray, which helps the white of the fire surround and woodwork really pop for perhaps the most subtle, yet effortlessly elegant color pairing we've seen.

Whilst gray became the in shade for walls in the early 2010s, it's safe to say that interiors started to become a little over-saturated by this new neutral. But that doesn't mean that decorating with gray can't still be elegant today, when used in the right way, and, as Joanna Gaines has shown us, it can look beautifully timeless.
