Grey bedroom: how to decorate

Grey is the ultimate neutral — a calm base that lets furniture and art take the stage. The right shade is everything: warm grey (greige) feels cosy, cool grey strict.

How grey works in the bedroom

In the bedroom, warm grey creates a restful, timeless room; add linen and one muted accent so it doesn't fall flat.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: calm and rest — the colour should wind you down. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.

Colours that pair well with grey

Grey is generous with almost anything: yellow and mustard for warmth, navy for contrast, wood and greenery to avoid sterility.

Materials and details

Wool, bouclé and linen make grey soft; wood and brass warm it up. Concrete and chrome alone can turn cold.

The most common mistake

Too many cool grey tones — the room goes flat and dreary. Lean toward greige and add a warm accent.

See grey in the bedroom — before you paint

The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the bedroom and type "repaint the bedroom in grey". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
