Gray & White Home Interior Paint Trends

From Casual and Cozy to Contemporary and Sophisticated

Grays and whites are a neutral color palette we love to use in Creek Hill Custom Homes' models. The colors create beautiful spaces for great rooms, kitchens, and master suites whether we layer varying shades of white or create a contrasting color palette of white punctuated with a bold gray. 

You can keep it subtle or add bold accent colors on a focus wall, in art, light fixture, or decor and furnishings. Grays and whites are versatile and work with so many styles.

A Neutral Color Palette is Versatile and Timeless

Sherwin Williams has over twelve white paint wall colors in their Finest Whites Color Collection to create a tone-on-tone palette. Their Living Well Collection categorizes grays and whites to inspire spaces to Center, Focus, Renew, and Reflect. Grays and whites bring a sense of comfort, style, and well-being into a home. 

Cool whites, warm whites, timeless whites and varying shades and hues of gray never go out of style.

Perfect Colors to Complement Architectural Details

A home's design and character is complemented by the color of paint and finishes. Coffered, vaulted, beamed, and stepped ceilings are enhanced visually with whites and grays. This palette also works well with all types of floors from dark, medium, and light wood to carpet and tile. 

Click through the home photos below for some of the ways we used grays and whites in one of our luxury ramblers near hisotoric Excelsior, MN and on the shore of Lake Minnetonka.
