Dated, drab, done. Nothing good lasts forever, they say, and that goes for stale and uninspiring tenets and elements of interior design.

Go-Away “Griege” Too much of a monochromic or play-it-safe neutral scheme can come off as cold and lifeless. While the “griege” (gray plus beige) hue remains highly popular as a foundation to build on, the concept of layering on the grays is so over. The most popular choice overall for hues in homes right now is a mossy green.

And if you really want something to read, try accessorizing with some vintage books. Fine literature never goes out of style and will always be a shelf staple.
