We know you love monochrome – it’s a love affair shared by the global design industry. While the black and white palette has long characterised a contemporary aesthetic, grey tones are gaining our attention for their soft yet sleek style. With plenty of tones to explore between of light and dark, bold and delicate, designers are embracing humble grey hues to noteworthy effect.
One such recent example was this gorgeous Berlin loft from Annabell Kutucu. Exploring the nuances of grey tones through both furnishings and materials, the home has a down-to-earth elegance that we can only dream of capturing in our own designs. Yes, there’s something very European about grey shades – perhaps it’s the sense of effortlessness and casual luxury. Whatever it is, sign us up – and in the mean time, here’s some of our favourite pieces to cultivate a similar style.
Flocca Linen Pillowcase
Made in Europe from 100% linen, these pillowcases from Hale Mercantile have that earthy, rustic style perfect for softening a modern design and bringing a sense of heritage to the home. Choose ‘Fog’ for a lighter shade, ‘Nox’ for a darker one.

CT09 Enoki Table
Designed by Philipp Mainzer, the Enoki table has to be one of the most recognisable pieces at Living Edge. Balancing a chic marble tabletop with powder-coated steel base the side table lends a bold material foil to the plush textiles and soft colours of the bedroom.

Sometimes a touch of colour in a statement piece is all you need. This oversized lamp from Muuto at Living Edge is made from recycled plastic felt, allowing it to absorb sound and improve the acoustics in a room, from both a high or low ceiling. The felt materiality references a Nordic sensibility, cosy yet aesthetically-driven.
