Fifty Shades of Grey for your home

I read with amusement an article in the Evening Standard yesterday which stated 'Designers are taking EL James's erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey to heart, making grey one of this season's top colours'.  I have always loved the colour grey, choose the correct shade (one that does not come with a list of rules:)) and you can create an incredibly sophisticated atmosphere within any room.  I personally love the paint colours by Zoffany which I have used in my own home.  The Paris grey and Silver create a soothing atmosphere and blend beautifully with neutral colours.  Another personal favourite which I have used on several occassions is Elephants Breath by Farrow and Ball which is rich and warm in appearance.

Have I read the book? Well yes you cannot avoid it. Will I read it again? Probably not. Will I watch the film when it is released? Highly likely.
