Enduring trends: grey gardens
)
Here at Glee, we're constantly on the lookout for the most exciting new collections and the trends driving the industry forward. As we prepare to reopen the doors to Glee this September, we've been taking a look through some of our favourite exhibitors to see what they have to offer. When it comes to trends, colour cannot be forgotten, and the tone of the period seems to be grey. Charcoal and matte tones in particular have been pervading ranges for the last few seasons, and this is what we're here to talk about today…
Origin story…
With one of Pantone's two Colours of the Year being a deep matte grey, it's no surprise that this tone has caught our attention at this particular moment in time. However, greys have been making their way into homes and gardens for a few years already.
Since 2015, greys have been heralded as the “new neutral” in the home and garden world, taking the place of the more traditional tans and beiges. Of course, when we talk about home and garden trends of this era, the Scandi influence, which embraces all things grey, is impossible to avoid. And whilst its popularity might have had ups and downs, it's retained an important place in the design narrative for the past five years, with a resurgence coming for 2021.
It's worth noting, that it's not just any grey that's in vogue, though. When we talk about greys, we're talking about cooler steely greys and deeper charcoal tones, still with cool undertones, both combined with matte finishes. Off-white shades bring brightness and an added sense of the contemporary, without clashing with the primary darker shades.
In the garden, greys have become important accent colours, tying colourful foliage together and creating modern “inside out” seating and outdoor entertainment areas.
