Gray interiors, though gorgeous, can easily slip into a cool spectrum that looks a little cold and even uninviting. There are many ways to combat this, from attractively wrapping walls with modern textured wall paneling and using luxurious soft furniture to adding small pieces of contrasting accent colors and modern artwork. In this pair of inspiring home designs, we look at how to warm up cool gray home interiors with welcoming warm lighting, including unique table lamps, elegant floor lamps, atmospheric patio lighting and quietly embedded perimeter mood lighting. We will also look at how indoor plants add life to a shady interior decoration with high-end organic forms.
This large villa is located on a mountain in Italy. A large terrace overlooks a magnificent sea view on one side of the house, while windows at the back look out on the dramatic rock face. In the large gray living room area, a small living room floor lamp nestles between two modern sofas, where it emits a comfortable glow.
The tufted sofa design is a flexible modular solution that can be reconfigured to suit.
A small side table is set next to an elegant modern lounge chair. A rectangular coffee table and free-form equivalent nest in front, displaying artistic pottery and a decorative tray.
A large gray rug provides a soft landing under the living area, separating it from a neat home workshop on the other side of the room.
The home workshop, which stands on the side of the living room, can be hidden behind smooth, secretive doors when not in use.
The hidden doors open and slide partly inside its enclosure to allow the desk space to be opened to natural light from the windows.
A gray granite background gives the small home office a luxurious touch.
In the kitchen, a wide skylight feeds an interior courtyard design where small trees and abundant shrubs bloom.
A kitchen island stretches along the central courtyard, enjoying the green, natural view across every inch.
The little marble lamp that stands on the kitchen island is the Solid Table Light, by Terence Woodgate. Modern pottery extends the decoration of the counter.
A strong linear hanging light pushes an intense tube of light over a black breakfast bar that attaches to the side of the kitchen island design. Modern black kitchen stools complement its rugged aesthetic.
Uplighters draw further attention to the stunning courtyard design, where they highlight the intricacies of dense foliage and its depth of color. A granite border is installed around the boundary of the courtyard to form a shallow seat. Seat pads provide a comfortable landing.
The dressing room benefits from the dramatic view and proximity of the mountain rock face. A small floor lamp illuminates a seat of tufted Ottomans.
The master bedroom design has an open plan indoor area with elegant light gray bathrooms and amenities.
The upholstered bed is quietly placed against a simple plank wall, leaving all eyes magnetized to the terrace view.
A small night lamp adds a warm moment of interest on a neat surrounding night table.
A matching floor lamp is paired with a bedroom chair by the window to form a welcome reading spot.
Heavy gray drapes pop up behind the bedroom chair, where they deftly frame the panoramic view.
The bedroom is home to an open plan bathing area where the bathtub melts into the concrete floor, almost like clay on a potter’s wheel.
A standing bathroom faucet fills the tub on the side, while a small side table is on hand to hold a selection of toiletries.
In our second gray home interior, a decorative living room rug lies a delicate pattern.
The carpet helps to establish a zoning between the living area and a nearby kitchen dining room.
A black granite slab lifts a breakfast bar off the concrete kitchen island. A black linear hanging light completes the dark finish of the breakfast bar.
Like the linear lighting fixture, embedded perimeter lights paint a warm glow across the concrete kitchen wall.
A wooden frame warmly accentuates the back wall of the gray kitchen, where it draws attention to the sink.
A miniature Zen garden is set in the kitchen island.
A glass wall separates the apartment from the bedroom.
LED strips emit a soft mood light under the bed.
A closet is attractively decorated with another open fabric rug and a round puff.
The wardrobe is separated from the bedroom by a glass wall and a small temporary area, where a mini-floor lamp and a curved lounge chair form a reading room.
Doormen provide the glass bedroom and bathroom with privacy,
Indoor plants grow beautiful organic silhouettes in front of the bathroom window.
Growing tall next to the bathtub, the indoor plants create a fresh feeling of bathing in the outdoors.
