Grey is my favourite colour. It is the colour of concrete, and brutalism, and nerdy things to love. It can be a safe colour, but it can also be rich, warm and exciting.

    Hi Katy,

    I just stumbled across your blog and this post.
    I am also obsessed with grey!
    I am an interior designer here in Edinburgh and also have 3 holiday rental flats, one of which I thought you might like to see. If you love grey, copper and wood together then I think “Our Bijou Apartment” is right up your street.

    Would love to hear your thoughts and if you have time check out our online store http://www.thecouturerooms.com which we have just launched selling lots of beautiful and quirky things.

    Thanks for your time!
    Alexis
