Things to Consider

Because grey is such an adjustable color, it’s important to keep in mind the overall look you’re going for with your grey bedroom:

• Subtle looks are best when you pair lighter greys with other neutral shades.
• Adding shiny or reflective objects provides elegance to your grey without much effort.
• Look for undertones of a different hue in your greys, such as blue or purple.
• Deeper greys such as a charcoal shade make a room look cooler and darker, especially paired with black accents.
• Don’t shy away from accent walls with either a bold color to balance the greys in the room or a fun wallpaper with an adventurous pattern.
• Think about the lighting in your room when making color choices. Grey and white combos work well with natural light and open spaces.
• Adding a colorful accent like a rug, chair, or throw pillows is a safe bet if you want to add color to your grey without going overboard.
• Use a grey backdrop if you’re going for more of a monochrome look. A big grey headboard or wall panel is a great starting point.
• Blues are calming. If you want a relaxing effect in your bedroom, don’t be afraid to reach for a blue palette to mix with your greys.
