Take a look at our stylish grey bedroom ideas to inspire your new grey bedroom...
Grey Beds
If you have a blank canvas of a bedroom, start with a grey bed. Introducing a grey colour scheme into a room doesn’t mean you have to paint all the walls grey. Instead, add colour through bedroom furniture. A grey bed is a simple way to create a modern look without costing a lot of money. Combine the grey bed frame with pastel-colored walls or black and white décor to create a balanced and calm atmosphere.

Painted Frames
If you’re afraid grey painted walls will darken your space and make it seem small, why not paint the door and window frames instead? This will create a striking grey bedroom aesthetic. It is a bold design idea that will catch your eye as soon as you walk into the room. For an extremely dramatic look, paint the frames a dark shade of grey and keep your walls light. The contrasting colours will look amazing.
Grey Colour Schemes
As grey is such a versatile colour, there are many colours you can pair with it in your bedroom. Next, we look at different grey colour schemes to inspire you to think creatively when decorating.
Coordinated Greys
A coordinated all-grey bedroom can look sophisticated, comfortable, and elegant. To keep the bedroom welcoming, stick to a neutral palette and layer with different fabrics and textures. Keep the colour scheme consistent with matching furniture such as bedside tables, wardrobes, and drawers.
Lead Grey
Choose a bold architectural grey, such as Plummett in bedrooms to create an industrial, modern vibe. This grey is designed to mimic the colour of lead and increases the intensity of colour in smaller rooms. With hints of blue, lead grey is dramatic and will applause white crisp bedding.
Pink and Grey
Pink and grey are a beautiful colour combination for a bedroom. It is perfect to create a calm and stylish look that welcomes you in every night. Pink tones, whether they are delicate, dusky, or vibrant, go nicely with grey and can instantly brighten up a room.
Green and Grey
Green and grey is a popular bedroom colour combination as it brings you back to nature making you feel at peace. To enhance shades of green, add decorative plants to your bedroom. If you decide to go with a cool mid-tone grey, pair it with a cool green such as light olive. Cool colours charm one another.
Yellow and Grey
To make a bold statement in a bedroom, contrast a solid grey with a bright yellow. Don’t worry about yellow being too vibrant as a calm grey will soften the intensity of yellow. If you are not totally convinced, add small touches of yellow with cushions and bedding.
