Few homes are quite as influential as Martha Stewart's farm, nestled in Bedford, New York. From here, the founder of the eponymous media empire shares her lifestyle tips with the world – usually in the shape of hearty recipes or green-thumbed advice. However, we've recently noticed that Martha is (perhaps unintentionally) shaping color trends – starting with this golden retro revival – and now with the most controversial hue of the moment: gray.
'It's no secret that the use of gray in interiors is currently subject to debate, largely due to its perceived coldness, which is making it deeply unfashionable with some,' says Lucy Searle, Editor in Chief, Homes & Gardens. 'However, some twists on the classic cool gray, predominantly a stronger gray-green, are still in favor with design professionals. A glimpse around Martha Stewart's farm suggests she, too, is a fan of this color combination.'
