Grey wash wood furniture

[Anonymous]

Is this a trend I’ll regret buying too much of? We did buy a bed and dresser in this color because I really liked the way it looked online. In person it’s a bit darker than expected and actually looks more brown but I’m still generally happy with it (it is pottery barn faemhouse). I like a dining set that is in a grey wash tone but wonder if a), it’ll clash too much with my darker brown wood floors and if b), it’ll be too trendy. Wondering if I should go with a more traditional brown color dining set.

Too trendy. You will hate it in two years.

Trendy. Buy something you can paint if it would help.

It's fine. You want something lighter to contrast with the dark brown floor. All brown is depressing.

VERY trendy. Don't do it, you're going to regret it.

Or are you pairing it with shiplap walls and brushed brass?

It's not fine, it's going to be very dated in 3, 2, 1....

Buy a lighter wood, or glass/marble/whatever appeals to you. Look, the grey wash is to 2020 what espresso wood was to 2000.

Don't do it.

Don't do it OP. The greyed out wood look is on its last legs. It is also objectively ugly. For furniture you plan on keeping for more than a couple of years, always pick a more classic stain. I cringe over so many folks doing grey stains to their floors -- talk about an expensive thing to change!

Pottery Barn gray wash is fine. It's really challenging to find lighter wood that doesn't have a reddish or yellowish tint. Gray wash is neutral.

OP, if you like it, go for it. I buy things I like regardless of trend.

Trendy. You could buy used furniture much cheaper and paint if you want.

How old are you? I bet you haven't actually bought furniture through any trends yet.

HAHAHAhahahahaa. Everyone says that, but if that were the case, there wouldn't BE any trends.

We have gray wash bedroom furniture and dining room furniture that is more of a brown wash. I wondered about the trendiness of it but for all the people talking about "classic" I can tell you that nobody wants a house full of big brown furniture anymore. This is what's spawned the whole chalk paint/DIY paint your furniture trend. So that trend is over no matter how "classic."

OP don't do full sets--do pieces that you can swap in and out.

You didn't like my opinion and that's fine, but this is very unnecessary.

Dark furniture has been out so long it’s on its way back in.
