Houzz Tour: Gray and Yellow Mix It Up in a London Apartment (18 photos)

The feature gray used throughout has soft brownish tones. “It’s a fashionable, contemporary color,” Morton says, “and it’s a warm rather than a blue, cold gray. The light is really nice in here with the floor-to-ceiling windows, so it’s really good as a base color.”

Pieces in bright, cheerful yellow sing out against the gray feature walls throughout the apartment. “Yellow is such a happy, sunny, warm color,” Morton says. “People love it but can be quite scared of using it.” Not Morton. “I can say, ‘We are going to make yellow work; it’s going to look lovely!’”

The sofa is styled with midcentury lines. It’s teamed with a metal coffee table that brings gritty style to the space and references the industrial heritage of this area of London.
