Great Tips and Ideas
Grey is a very popular neutral color used in modern, eclectic, traditional, and contemporary bedrooms.
Today, it’s typically preferred over black--and in some cases--white. Grey is extremely versatile and can be combined with almost every color imaginable; though the most well-liked are warm hues, such as red, yellow, and orange. With that in mind, here are some great ideas and tips on how to incorporate grey into your bedroom design.

Grey is a wonderful neutral color for bedrooms because it offers so many options and color palettes, such as this grey French inspired bedroom designed by Danziger Design LLC. This room uses many shades of grey with accents of red and white to create a sophisticated and lovely room. Whether you plan on using grey as your overall color option with pops of red and white--or the other way around--this combination will always work well together.
Grey and White Color Idea
A classic combination is grey and white; it offers a subtle, yet brilliant contrast when used together. A great example is this contemporary bedroom designed by AM Dolce Vita, which uses grey as an accent along with pale blue and white bedding and furniture. A simple, clean, and elegant design will always follow if this color combination is used to its full potential.
Grey Bedroom with Yellow Accents
One color combination is to use grey with splashes of yellow. You can add yellow within your bedding--like this grey oasis designed by Great Neighborhood Homes--or you can add yellow within accent pillows, artwork, and other accessories. If done correctly, you’ll have a lovely, calm grey bedroom with a touch of warm sunshine.
Many Shades of Grey
This lovely traditional bedroom designed by Michael Abrams Limited is a wonderful example of a monochromatic color scheme; this bedroom illustrates how to use many shades of grey to transform your room into a sophisticated and elegant design. If your worried about adding too much grey in your bedroom because it will appear too gloomy or mundane, then use brilliant accents of white, glass, or other textures and hues to add some character and charm.

Grey Bedding
Another easy solution to adding grey to your bedroom is to use bedding. Because grey is a very popular color there are many different options and patterns. If you decide to use all grey bedding find many unique patterns and textures of pillows and linens to create depth and interest; otherwise try to find a great accent color—such as red, yellow, or orange—which will stand out and add some pizazz to your room.
Grey Wallpaper Ideas
A fun wallpaper pattern on an accent wall is another solution to adding grey to your bedroom. This idea will add some character to your room and another unique decorative element. By adding a few bold color accents here-and-there will help keep the design and color scheme balanced.
Simple Grey Bedroom Design
If you’re looking for a clean and simple idea for your bedroom then grey is your color. Find some grey linens and bedspread then partner them with white and black furniture; such as a decorative lamp or a few accent pillows. These few accents and accessories will create charm and appeal so your room will not become too boring.
Grey and Purple Bedroom Idea
Grey and purple is a subtle, yet fun color combination for bedrooms. If a bright, bold purple is used with grey it can create a nice touch of color and interest in your room. The best approach in adding purple to your bedroom is through color accents within the bedding, an area rug, or other accessories. Of course, if you prefer purple as your overall color options with accents of grey, then use the same concept but add purple on your walls and add grey within your bedding, artwork, area rug, or other accessories.
