Grey bed linens...classy or tomb-like?
I'm serious: I read in some Fung Shui book once that grey colored bedding is considered bad because it is "tomb-like" or "like being buried beneath the ground". Personally, I really love charcoal grey- I think it looks classy, clean and classic (and of course is a fantastic base for other colors around it)...works well for clothing, shoes, home decor, etc...but perhaps not for bed linens? Hmm. What do you think? Jun 28 11 01:34 pm Link I'd do it. I like the look of colors like that. :shrug: Jun 28 11 02:02 pm Link I love them. Jun 28 11 02:05 pm Link I've used grey sheets off and on for years. Seems ok to me.  Edit: I've used black sheets as well. Not sure why "tomb-like" is supposed to be a bad thing...surrounding yourself with dark colors where you're meant to be sleeping is helpful, if anything. Jun 28 11 02:06 pm Link Just like any other color...works great in certain instances, not in others. Jun 28 11 02:29 pm Link Can't it be both?

Jun 28 11 06:14 pm Link There's always some weird death thing in feng shui. I love grey, and have used it on bedsheets at home as well as on sets we've dressed.

Grey doesn't have to mean Navy Battleships, there are both warm and cool greys, and bedding can range from the darkest charcoal to a light lavender-grey or pinkish-grey. Introducing a slight sheen can also help add some glam and interest, so that the bedding doesn't look too flat or depressing. Faux fur throws in silver or taupe and dove-grey cashmere also add softness and warmth to the overall look. Honestly, everything in my house would be some shade of grey if I had total free reign, there's just so much you can do with it!

I'm working on it though, my landlord has just approved me to re-paint the bedroom walls a light grey-beige colour Jun 28 11 10:38 pm Link Mine are a light grey/silver, I think of them more like Moon rocks Jun 29 11 06:00 am Link I love tones of grey. Just painted the bedroom a very light grey. It makes the room very relaxing, it's a neutral color. I wouldn't mind have grey and black bedding.
