The taupe color is a common choice for wall cladding or for the floor covering of a room. Its neutral side allows to associate it easily with a large variety of furniture and decorative objects in white, black, brown, yellow. If your living room is small, it is advisable to paint your walls in a shade of light gray. For those who enjoy a large lounge area, anthracite gray is a very elegant option.

In interior design, there are all kinds of mixtures between the taupe color, anthracite gray and light gray. They are often married in the darkest colors and the lightest shades.

One of the most common combinations is that of several shades of gray in the same interior. It is quite possible to put the walls and floor of your room in light gray and to reserve the color taupe furniture, for example. The opposite solution is also imaginable: one could paint the room in a shade of the mole and arrange it with a sofa, armchairs and objects in anthracite gray. It depends on your own desires.

Anthracite gray is the most intense shade of gray. Derived from the realm of fashion, like oil blue and duck blue, it is a wonderful alternative to matte black. Powerful and mysterious, it can be highlighted with contrasting colors. Painting all the walls of your living room in this shade is risky, because it will appear very dark. It is still possible to reserve this color for the living room and then add a carpet in a clear and contrasting shade, as is the case of the interior shown in the image below, whose anthracite gray was married to the taupe color:
