Grey kids' room: 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 kids' room

In the kids' room, light grey works as a calm backdrop to playful accents in yellow, green or dusty pink.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: playful without the chaos — muted tones last longer. 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 kids' room — 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 kids' room and type "repaint the kids' room in grey". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
