Wise Design Favorites: Our Go-To Greys
At Wise Design our next favorite neutral paint color after a clean & bright white wall, is a calming, soothing grey wall. Grey is a paint color we return to time and time again, when we want a bit of contrast with the trim color, particularly in historic homes. We have a few shades of grey that we return to over & over again, because they're versatile with just the right undertones.

Wise Design Favorites: Totally Lit - Our Top Picks for Accent Lighting
