Wall Paint & Decors
A lot of condo unit owners prefer light gray as an alternative wall color to white to be able to achieve that soft, tranquil vibe. It is considered one of the most commonly used wall color that can easily work with different decorative elements and aesthetic directions.
You can make it even more appealing by color blocking light gray with a complementary color like yellow to give a cooler treatment and a more optimistic and intimate mood in your condo space.
Check out different decors in complementary shades or those with pops of yellow or why not pick out a key piece of furniture like a yellow couch or armchair so that your Ultimate Gray-toned walls sit back in the color scheme.

Adopt Ultimate Gray and Illuminating in your beddings and pillows to keep a focus on your bed or make these colors of the year stand out by having a neutral sofa with yellow decorative pillows.
