The items you already have in the space are a great starting point. The dark grey sofa opens a lot of options to create an interesting and comfortable space. That with the glass and wood dining table keep the main furniture quite neutral. That said, what material or colour are the dining chairs? First I would look at the space itself. Are you looking to keep it one space? or would you like to zone the living room from the dining room? This can be easily and effectively done with wall or floor coverings so don’t worry! Now, let’s dive into the colour palette. Something stylish, versatile and feminine. Pink is the easy answer here, however it is definitely not the only option. Pink with grey does pair very well and choosing the right pink/grey combination can definitely make for an interesting space. Keeping the wall light (like the image below) will make it easy to change thing around quickly and effectively when you are looking to freshen up the space. That with the black detail adds a very stylish and timeless look. Another option is going for off whites complemented with teals, duck egg, fresh greens, purples. All will work well in both living room and dining room settings. It is not just the colour palette that makes the room stylish or feminine. Look at the patterns and textures you add to the space as well. This can be added through a rug, furniture, cushions etc. However it can also be incorporated in the wall covering, by adding wallpaper, a mural or art pieces. All these little elements not only make the space stylish feminine. It also makes it unique and yours.

Choosing grey as the main or base colour of your decor opens up a great number of options as to adding interest. Depending on the type of grey you have chosen you can add pretty much any colour depending on the look you are looking for. If you have a light grey and are trying to add interest or depth to the rooms look at adding darker, vivid colours and warm wood tones (walnut, dark oak). these will really jump out and create a lovely contrast to the calming grey background. If you prefer to keep the space calm and light, having white trim, light wood tones (beech) and various tones of grey, whites etc will still add interest yet in a more subtle, calm way. Having chosen a mid grey still allows a lot of options. Again, setting it against bold colours adds drama, interest and depth. It is a great start to add a little industrial style. Pair with dark grey or black trim and wood or metal elements creates a unique and texture rich space. Throw a bright painting or neon light on the wall and it transforms into a funky, unexpected space. The mid grey adds warmth to the space where the light grey does less so. This gives a great starting point to make a lovely cozy space. Building on this with a dark blue accent wall for instance adds interest. Darker greens and blues pair well with mid grey and can build on the calmer yet interesting feel. While yellows and oranges jump out, freshening up the space, adding energy to the space. If a dark grey is the colour you have chosen think about where you would like to go from there. Lighten up the space by adding lighter tones and colours to bring a little perspective into the space. Or, again, layer in darker, muted shades, wrapping the space around you. Making it cozy, warm and snug. Adding interesting lighting to a dark grey room can introduce amazing effects. Pair it with rich purples, turquoise and deep greens transform the space into a stately yet comfortable living space. Add textures and patterns for comfort and perspective. Lighter furniture or a dark sofa will both work. With grey there are a million and one options to explore. Have a think of where you would like the feel of the space to go and build towards that.
