Grey bedroom ideas

Almost black and white

Using a grey that is almost black is a top choice when you want to achieve a chic monochrome look in your boudoir. Monochrome works especially well in a smaller bedroom and offers a contemporary, hotel-like feel. Opt for a single accent wall in a midnight shade, such as Nevermore, and pair it with crisp white bed linen and metallic accents for a décor that’s sophisticated and timeless.

Sultry and warm

Everything about this bedroom is warm and cosy. Even the dog seems to think so! The dark charcoal feature wall in Black Bean sets off a sultry and seductive feel around the bed, accentuated by the leather buttoned headboard and the rich, burnt orange bed throw. Exposed bulbs give off an added warmth, which further reflects the rich colours in the space.

Small accents of grey

Small accents of grey are great when you don’t want the colour to feature too heavily in your room, but still want to benefit from its versatility against other shades. Here the grey voile curtains, the lighting panel, and the picture frame add pops of grey that strengthen and balance out the neutrality of the burnt yellow Frontier Paradise shade which adjoins it.

Eclectic chic

Contrary to what many people believe, grey doesn't have to always be so serious and stark. In this Bohemian bedroom, the backdrop of pale grey Home and Hearth gives an earthy stone feel, which combines beautifully with the natural textures of the wooden drawer unit and the bamboo mirrors. The fireplace is painted in a darker shade of Greenish Grey, which offers another depth of colour, and the rustic green and terracotta tones from the soft furnishings give a distinctly Mediterranean feel

Grey and green bedrooms

When teamed with the right greens and blues, grey can have a calming effect, which is perfect for a child’s bedroom décor. Stone greys, woodland greens and ocean blues (such as State Secret) are nature’s neutrals and have inherently nurturing and soothing qualities. This feature wall of juxta-positioned coloured shapes is a lovely idea to create interest in a small bedroom and is perfectly balanced out by plenty of white wall space and white carpet flooring.

Grey with a pop of colour

Sometimes all you need is a very small pop of yellow in your grey bedroom to add a striking effect, which is exactly what has been achieved here. There is a sense of real luxury in this bedroom, using Elephant in the Room wall paint and textured beading to give depth and character – a look that wouldn't be out of place in a five-star boutique London hotel.

Grey and orange bedrooms

When you want to make a statement in your bedroom, choosing an eye-catching bright orange against a deep dark shade of grey will help to offer a real focal point. Here the walls are painted in sultry Carriage Wheel grey while the painted fireplace pops out in Mimis Kimono. When combined with bold furniture, plenty of greenery and some contemporary artwork, the final result is a Bohemian chic bedroom fit for any fashionista.
