Add a splash of blue, green or red and you will immediately see the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grey does comes in many shades \u2013 from silvery toned whites to dark charcoals \u2013 and my personal favourite \u2013 Payne\u2019s Grey. Use on walls in light rooms, create some drama in your dining room with darker shades and add accessories in primay colours (silver is always a favourite, but can be a little too boudor for my tastes). I do like my grey muted and paired up with a splash of red. Avoid shiny surfaces and go for matt paints and finishes to let the colour sing.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_11251b-db .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}.kb-image_11251b-db img.kb-img, .kb-image_11251b-db .kb-img img{border-style:solid;border-color:#fff;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_11251b-db size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/dpnwordpress.org\/carolburns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AdobeStock_340846975-1024x398.jpeg\" alt=\"Grey paint brushstroke\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dpnwordpress.org\/carolburns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AdobeStock_340846975-1024x398.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dpnwordpress.org\/carolburns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AdobeStock_340846975-600x233.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/dpnwordpress.org\/carolburns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AdobeStock_340846975-300x117.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dpnwordpress.org\/carolburns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AdobeStock_340846975-768x299.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dpnwordpress.org\/carolburns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AdobeStock_340846975.jpeg 1070w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Garish and glorious<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seventies have returned \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t mean polyester carpeting and a three-piece suite straight out of Abigail\u2019s Party (although the hostess trolley) has made a bit of a comeback, thanks to the newlook at No. 10). Think sumptuous velvet upholstery, oranges, purples, reds and browns (which began in our wardrobe in the 1960s) and welcome back the sideboard as the thing that has been missing from your living room (or should that be lounge?) for the last four decades. Although our memories tell tails of aubergine bathroom suites and lime green nylon shag pile, the 1970s interiors went from colour, colour, everywhere to earth-toned natural fabrics in the extreme. Thankfully today we can pick a little of what we fancy and reference the whole era with a few well chosen colours and textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, of course, one of its forgotten gems is the introduction of gold into our interiors colour palette. Add a touch of luxury through gold (painted) accessories (we\u2019re back to that hostess trolley) and twinkling textiles in lush fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_eb1017-8d.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image_eb1017-8d .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:748px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_eb1017-8d.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_eb1017-8d .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image_eb1017-8d{max-width:748px;}.image-is-svg.kb-image_eb1017-8d{-webkit-flex:0 1 100%;flex:0 1 100%;}.image-is-svg.kb-image_eb1017-8d img{width:100%;}.kb-image_eb1017-8d .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}.kb-image_eb1017-8d img.kb-img, .kb-image_eb1017-8d .kb-img img{border-style:solid;border-color:#fff;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_eb1017-8d size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/dpnwordpress.org\/carolburns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AdobeStock_436154860-1024x401.jpeg\" alt=\"1970s style\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dpnwordpress.org\/carolburns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AdobeStock_436154860-1024x401.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dpnwordpress.org\/carolburns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AdobeStock_436154860-600x235.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/dpnwordpress.org\/carolburns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AdobeStock_436154860-300x117.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dpnwordpress.org\/carolburns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AdobeStock_436154860-768x301.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dpnwordpress.org\/carolburns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AdobeStock_436154860.jpeg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hollywood&nbsp;glamour<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, not the black and white variety, but the 1980s glam that saw flamingo pink enter our interiors lexicon world. The palette is a little more pastel than our 1970s cousins taking Miami sunsets and the aquamarine swimming pools of LA as its starting point, or Al Pacino sitting among all those fake palm trees in Scarface if you want to man-up \u2013 but the faint hearted should avoid the garish vulgarity of the Babylon nightclub set complete with ankle deep purple shagpile, black onyx dancefloor and pink and blue neon lighting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Beachside bliss<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucky for those of us that live by the sea, we can lovingly incorporate this longstanding favourite colour in all its stunning shades \u2013 safe in the knowledge that we are \u2018on trend\u2019.
