5 Easy Ways To Achieve The Grey Bedroom Of Your Dreams

The easiest way to establish the fact that you're aiming for a grey bedroom is to choose grey as the main colour when it comes to soft furnishing. This involves your linen, throws, carpet, rug, comforter, sheets, throw cushions, and pillow cases. The best part about doing this is that with varying shades of grey and with the use of different textures, you can create a seamless monochrome look. 

In order to not make everything look too grey, we always suggest playing on the extreme sides of the colour spectrum, which is adding white or black too. Here are a couple of grey soft furnishing options you can add to your bedroom. 

If the layout of your bedroom is modern with inbuilt wall cupboards, there is a 90% chance that they're finished off with wood panelling. Now there are two ways to go about this, you can either leave the wood panel as is and play with grey and brown (wood) for a chic Scandinavian vibe, or you can paint the cupboard doors grey. You can go as light or as dark as you want depending on the colour you've chosen for your bed (which is the focus of the room). Another tip to keep in mind is to ensure the wall colour and the cupboard doesn't clash. If you're shy of committing to a paint job, then you can always use wallpaper too! (Just ensure you can use the paper on other surfaces). And if you want to add pops of colour then you can always choose bright colours for the handles and knobs—just to add a bit more pizazz. 

For a more chic, uniform look, matching all your furniture is a good idea. Not only does this play into the ease of making everything one colour, it also enhances the theme you're trying to go with. Now we're not saying that you must buy complete furniture sets by replicating a Home Centre display floor, you can match simply by colour. Needless to say, if you're aiming for a grey bedroom, then you must have a grey bed, ottoman or accent chair, a grey side table and all other furniture in varying shades of matching grey. Here are a few option for you to choose from. 

We bet the entirety of your room is already painted grey, you can amp this up by adding a grey accent wall to it. Similar to the painting of the cupboard doors, choose a colour that contrasts well with the rest of the walls. If you don't want to do a whole wall, you can also add an accent 'strip' or 'corner'. You can further decorate this by adding wall art or hanging an accent light from the ceiling. When adding either, you can go the contrasting route by putting up colourful pieces of art that complement the space or stick to colours like white, black, and the undertones in the grey used. 

No room is complete without knick-knacks in the form of decor and accent items. What I love the most about these are that they have the ability to lend lots of character to a room and reflect the owner's taste. Adding decor items is always a good idea, especially if you want to establish a 'theme' to a room. In the case of a grey bedroom, grey decor items is a must. Here are a couple to inspire you.
