You’ve got to admit, the very concept of “decorating with color” is a bit of a misnomer. As we know: grey is a color. So is white. If you’ve ever waded through a few dozen slabs of “white marble” you get it — and let’s not even get into the tyranny of choosing a new white paint. So let’s lay to rest the idea that going neutral is the common sense answer to shopping tile or stone.
The long-term commitment to a specific color or pattern seems to add weight to the decisions design consumers face, often nudging us in direction of “safe” picks. But design professionals would argue it’s all in the execution. A tile choice never lives in a vacuum, but in a room with dozens of other factors. Even greige is a color, so, as long as you’re in the game of picking colors, shouldn’t you make it a good one?!
