Grey and Navy: The TV Unit Colour Combination Everyone Loves

Grey and navy is a pairing that feels both relaxed and tailored, which explains why it appears in so many British living rooms. The two colours share a cool undertone, so they sit together without clashing, yet navy brings enough depth to stop a grey scheme from feeling flat.

Room orientation, the palette mistakes worth avoiding, and how far to carry the scheme through the rest of a flat are covered as well....
