Neutral gray and vibrant yellow - the colors of 2021
09.02.2021



It is already a tradition to see at the beginning of the year which colors will be in trend this year. The Pantone Institute is the world's leading authority on color systems. It set the shade of blue, "sky at dusk" as the color of 2020, as if too serene for the chaotic year we all went through this year.
For the year 2021, the Pantone Institute declared that the most coveted and used two colors are gray and yellow, Ultimate Gray and Illuminating. If we go further in meaning and symbolism, we can understand that they are hand in hand with the revival of hope after troubled times.

If you have decided that it is time to buy an apartment for sale and you are thinking about how to arrange it, we come to meet you with a touch of inspiration. Let's see together some decor suggestions in gray and yellow, but also what are other recommendations that will look good in your home.
  • It is not mandatory to use these shades together
On the contrary, if you want to stand out from the crowd, you can successfully combine them with other shades. For example, neutral gray matches perfectly with plum purple, dusty pink or anthracite. Also, the shades of gray make a good house with navy blue, indigo or turquoise. If you want to get a warm and welcoming atmosphere, you can combine neutral gray with sand or white.


  • Yellow, on the other hand, matches perfectly with shades of orange or red, bringing spring to every home. The result is warm and pleasant, which energizes and makes any person feel good. For even bolder combinations, specialists recommend us to combine yellow with blue or indigo. Of course, in the end we must mention that yellow is very well highlighted when used with gray.



  • Predominantly neutral gray
Decorating entirely in neutral colors creates a soothing, warm and welcoming space, but it must be done properly. According to the expression "what hurts too much", even the decors in neutral shades need color accents. Opt for colorful paintings, rugs woven in contrasting colors or even accessories such as lamps or other decorative objects that successfully personalize any room. Neutral combinations are perfect for living or dining areas, where most people often receive guests or enjoy quality time with family.




  • Strong vibrations in shades of yellow
Not many people are willing to paint an entire wall yellow or opt for fully yellow kitchen furniture, for example. It is a strong, vibrant color that does not necessarily suit every taste. But we can choose yellow details that make a big difference. For example, yellow interior doors instantly brighten up any room, a black or navy blue sofa with decorative pillows in shades of yellow will definitely look spectacular.



  • Watch out for curtains
In interior design, textiles play an important role and have a great impact on the entire room. In addition, it is quick and cheap to change the overall image of the room by simply choosing new curtains and drapes. If your living room is decorated in neutral colors, but you want to bring a splash of color and be in trend with Pantone, choose yellow curtains. They will immediately cheer up the space.



  • Paint the room gray
By doing this, you can rearrange the space next year, when another color will be the star of the year. The gray walls fit well with several shades, so if you decide to redecorate you will not encounter difficulties. In addition, the gray of the walls fits well with warm shades of parquet, as well as with marble, ceramic tiles or other materials used to decorate the floors.



  • Pantone colors from 2021 - suitable for the child's room
Aren't you one of those parents who choose to decorate a child's room pink or blue, depending on their gender? Do I prefer neutral shades that are appropriate when the child grows up? Nothing easier. Choose shades of gray and yellow and combine them harmoniously to create a warm and comfortable space for the little one.
