Grey and white bedroom designs for your home

Between grey and white, great bedroom designs can happen!

They say: “Grey is the queen of colours because she makes everyone else look good.” Grey as a wall colour has made quite a journey from being thought of as boring to being considered modern and chic. The grey and white combination opens a wide array of possibilities in interior design. While this combination is great in any room, it is particularly well-suited to the bedroom as these are relatively calmer colours that help you relax in peace. To help you make the best out of this colour scheme, we have put together some grey and white bedroom ideas for you!

Grey And White Bedroom Wallpaper

Looking for grey and white bedroom ideas beyond the basic paint job? You can opt for an interesting wallpaper for your grey and white bedroom. It’s one of the easiest ways to incorporate this colour palette and infuse personality into the room. The wall in focus for this bedroom adds a wow factor to the space because the wallpaper lends a depth that is impossible to achieve by paint alone. The rest of the accessories are simple yet elegant. A wooden bedside table with geometric engraving keeps all your nighttime essentials in one place and is easily accessible during bedtime. The warm tones of the table lamps accentuate the grey tones of the wall, making it even more attractive. The complementary throw pillows and duvet complete the look of this bedroom.

A Play Of Shades In A Grey And White Bedroom

It can get tricky when you just have two colours to play with in your bedroom interior. The way of making the most out of this colour combination is by incorporating multiple shades of grey. As you can see in this image, this creates an illusion of variety in the colours used while keeping the design minimalistic. The shades vary from the lightest shade of grey for the wall to a much darker one for the cupboard. Even the bed frame, headboard and side table come in different shades of grey to make the bedroom look visually appealing. The white curtains and hanging pendant lights lend a serene vibe to the room. The monochromatic paintings on the wall complete the look. The potted plants add liveliness to the entire space.

Adding Earthy Colours To A Grey And White Bedroom

The grey and white colour scheme holds ground well on its own, but you can take it a notch higher by adding a few additional colours. Take this grey and white bedroom design, for example. The greenery of the plants and the earthy brown of the headboard and throw complement each other well, while at the same time working beautifully with the modern grey and white bedroom design. The French windows, monochromatic painting and fitted lights on both sides of the bed add to the appeal of the bedroom. The plush white bed and floating bedside drawer create a striking contrast against all the colourful elements. The grey rug beautifully ties in the entire bedroom together.
