Gray wall color in the bedroom – 60+ design ideas

The wall color gray has great appeal and can create different moods depending on the shade selected. We'll show you 60+ bedrooms that have been painted gray and give you useful tips on how you can make this color attractive.

The wall color gray in combination with a white ceiling and dark plank or laminate flooring creates the perfect oneBackground for a modern interior. It brings out the modern wooden furniture better, looks neutral but still warm. Depending on the shade, only one accent wall (for example the wall behind the bed headboard - in anthracite color) or the entire room can be painted. You should be careful with the dark nuances - they make the room appear visually smaller.

The color conveys serenity and calm in the sleeping area, making it a suitable color for the place where you can relax and recharge your batteries after a stressful day. The gray color is elegant and subtle and gives priority to other colors. But this color definitely doesn't remain inconspicuous. Gray is ideal as a background color and allows for different spatial effects, making it a popular color.

What can it be combined with?

The wall color gray can be easily combined with mustard yellow, dark blue, all sorts of red and orange nuances, pink and purple. The reddish color nuances, bright red and burgundy go quite well with the elegant gray. Feel free to experiment and create your own color combinations that create the desired ambience in your bedroom. If you want to add a fresh, colorful accent to the room, you could perhaps try the great combination of gray and yellow. Whether you choose a sunny yellow or a pastel color is of course a matter of taste. If you want to combine the gray walls with an elegant and modern piece of furniture in mustard yellow, it is best to use blue-tinged gray nuances. A pretty color combination also results when you pair gray with the rich curry color. If you would like to create a girlish flair in the bedroom, you are welcome to use the soft old pink in the wall design.

What furniture can you combine a wall painted in gray with? The gray wall should ideally be combined with a wooden bed. But beds with upholstered frames in beige or brown will also look stylish in a gray bedroom. Lighting – LED lamps and lights change the light gray walls a bit and give them a pink nuance. As for decoration, the best thing to do on the gray wall is not to hang family photos, but rather to hang modern paintings or posters in the pop style.

Light gray combined with white and yellow

Depending on which materials you use in the bedroom and which accessories you combine this great wall color with, you create a certain atmosphere. For example, textiles as well as colors can influence the overall effect of the room. A bedspread with beautiful patterns in a fresh color brings dynamism and freshness to the bedroom. Colored lampshades and colorful carpets can also add colorful accents to the room. Decorative pillows in different shades of gray also look simple and elegant. The versatile color can not only appear elegant and subtle, but also modern, rough or completely lovely.

If you want to create a casual atmosphere with a country touch in the bedroom, you can choose color nuances with a touch of green. The natural color can be combined with light wood. If you choose untreated wood, the naturalness of the furnishings will be emphasized. For a rustic touch, you can use natural materials such as wool and linen in the bedroom. A concrete accessory will provide the finishing touch to the room. If the bedroom seems too rustic, you can of course use accessories or surfaces made of glass or metal.

If you want to conjure up a modern and elegant ambience, a bluish gray is the right color nuance for your interior. A light parquet floor, blue-grey walls and white furniture, for example, look elegant and give your bedroom an individual character. The wall color gray with a bluish component allows any combination of materials. If you want to achieve a glamorous look, you can use shiny elements such as metal decorations. However, a matt metal also looks noble and elegant. The blue-gray color harmonizes with fine textiles such as velvet, cotton or light felt.

Highlights in Pink

You can also create a modern bedroom with the trendy red gray. The gray background with a touch of red allows colors such as yellow and green to stand out particularly well. If you are looking for other partner colors for gray, it is best to avoid other colors with a red component. If you want to spice up the walls with patterns, it's best to choose fine and geometric decorations, otherwise the room can quickly appear restless. The fine patterns make the reddish gray appear more playful. In the sleeping area with reddish gray walls, nothing stands in the way of furnishing the sleeping area with both light and dark furniture.

First, think about what atmosphere you want to create in the sleeping area and look for the right color shade to match the feeling and furnishing style you want. A shade of gray demonstrates style and character, gives the sleeping area the necessary homeliness and, in a certain sense, creates depth and sensuality.
