Stony & Serene

Because of the subtle blue tint, slate gray has a distinct soothing quality. Like a cool stream trickling over polished stones, slate connotes memories of nature at its most tranquil.

Indie & Industrial

Looking for a more striking style? Let’s get a little edgy! While it’s true that slate gray may give the appearance of structure on its own, you can also commit to the industrial style for an ultra-modern interior. While this may not be the coziest concept, some designers prefer interiors that make a strong statement. Get inspired by Bauhaus design and use primary colors to complement your slate gray base. Use concrete throughout your home, and emphasize metallic accents. Experiment with geometric patterns and contemporary lines.
