PAINT A FAUX HEADBOARD

A great way to zone a space and create a faux headboard is with paint. To recreate this clever yet simple grey bedroom idea, simply mark out where the bed is going to go and outline with a pencil where you want the 'headboard' to be. Use masking tape to keep the paint from blurring, and just paint in the square. Continue the line down onto the skirting board for a designer finish.

Top Tip: To build up a tonal grey bedroom scheme, choose a paler grey on the rest of the walls.

DRAMATIC GREY

For a dramatic grey bedroom, paint panelling in deep grey to create a warm and cocooning feel. The stunning lamp and brass details on the black metal bed set it off perfectly and add shine, adding to the cosy feel. A traditional dark oak floor adds warmth and gives an aura of permanence. Painting the picture frame in the same colour as the wall means the image stands out.

Top Tip: Recreate the panelled look with wallpaper. For example, try the Contemporary Wood Panel Wallpaper from I Love Wallpaper or this beautiful Marble Wood Panel Effect Wallpaper from World of Wallpaper.

FROM THE GROUND UP

Introduce grey into your bedroom with carpet. It’s a great base for so many colour schemes, either bold or subtle. This colour carpet is durable as it won’t show the dirt and it has a textured look that adds another dimension – it's soft underfoot and adds a cosy feel to the room.

'Grey has consistently been one of the most popular home decorating shades over the last decade, and it shows no sign of slowing down any time soon,' says Jemma Dayman, Carpets Buyer at Carpetright. 'Given that the bedroom is our sanctuary, a calm space where we retreat to for rest, recuperation and to recover, it’s no surprise that this soothing neutral hue is our go-to colour choice.'

Top tip: Don’t forget to invest in good quality underlay, as this will not only increase insulation but also reduce wear over time and create an even softer feel underfoot.

PANEL GAME

Pale grey is such a great colour for cupboards as it's calming and softer than stark white. To recreate this grey bedroom idea, add patterned wallpaper in the panels to create interest and give the room a French boudoir look.

Top Tip: An alternative to wallpapering in the panels, is to use a different coloured paint or stencil a design on them.

COORDINATING GREYS

A coordinated, all-grey bedroom scheme can look elegant, cosy and cocooning. This works by focusing on neutral palettes and layering materials and textures (sumptuous velvet works great here) to ensure the bedroom remains inviting. Matching bedside tables and storage benches maintain a cohesive look.

PAINT EFFECT

Paint effects, and particularly concrete effects, are big news at the moment, and this beautiful mural is a case in point.

PANTONE COLOUR OF THE YEAR

This year there are two 'It' colours, Ultimate Grey and Illuminating; a solid grey and vibrant yellow. It's a stunning combination too – the cool neutral of the grey then a hit of bright yellow really makes it sing.

BUILD UP YOUR COLOUR STORY

To introduce grey to a plain bedroom, start with the bed. A tall headboard has impact and immediately anchors the space. Then adding grey prints above create symmetry. Add a bold grey and white patterned curtain, grey cushions and throws, and a black pendant light for a complete look.

Top tip: Siting a bed between two windows gives it a frame and makes it easier to create your look.

LEADING GREY

In a bedroom, go for a strong architectural grey, like Plummett, which offers an industrial, modern feel and intensifies in colour in smaller spaces. White bedding creates a crisp contrast, while yellow accents complements the grey perfectly.

PINK AND GREY

Soft grey and pink is a winning combination in the bedroom, creating a stylish space that is still calm and inviting. If you have the space, an ottoman like this at the end of the bed is so useful. It's great for storing spare bedding, cushions, or even your nightwear, and it doubles up as a bench, too.

GREEN AND GREY

Grey and green is a great combination to bring the colours of nature into the home. The chalky matte green walls contrasts perfectly with this soft grey bed frame. To elevate this grey bedroom idea, add a striking tall houseplant, which will also help to create a calm environment.

MAKE USE OF ALCOVES

Storage is so important in the bedroom and if you have alcoves like this, it’s the perfect place for wardrobes. These are fitted but if you have inherited some, why not paint them grey? It will add depth to your colour scheme. Then pick up the colour in the carpet. This also shows how well grey goes with sage green – a hot colour trend this year.

'In the bedroom grey is a particularly versatile shade – something that is especially important if you are investing in larger pieces of bedroom furniture like a bed frame or fitted furniture,' says Megan Baker, Head of Design at My Fitted Bedroom. 'From soft dove to charcoal to granite, grey provides a warming and more modern alternative to white or wood effect furniture.'

THINK ABOUT THE WINDOWS

Pale grey shutters look so elegant in this bedroom, filtering the light beautifully. They fit neatly into the recess leaving room for a small window seat. Leave the shutters open during the day and close them at night. For this grey bedroom idea, the pearl grey shade of the shutters sits perfectly with the blue and cream colour scheme in the rest of the room.

'Your bedroom is a space you want to feel calm and safe, and grey is a neutral shade which can offer this. Any window covering is an investment, especially shutters, so make the right decision with colour and how it complements your colour scheme,' says Victoria Walker, product manager at Hillarys. 'Grey is a timeless colour but there are many tones to choose from. Lighter shades offer a cooler, fresher space whereas darker greys and charcoal tones can do the opposite. Choosing the right shade also depends if you want your window covering to blend in or become a feature in the room.'

PERSONAL TOUCH

This is a great pink and grey bedroom idea, as it still looks stylish and doesn't overwhelm the space. In this predominantly pink room, splodges of dark grey have been painted onto the wall in a random pattern. It’s easy to do and adds personality. Buy a grey stool to pull the scheme together.

IN THE FRAME

If you want a grey bedroom scheme but you think dark walls aren’t for you, why not paint the door and window frames to add a ‘frame’ to the room and a backdrop to the furniture? Your eye is drawn to it as soon as you walk in the room. Then add plain grey curtains that seem to disappear when they are open, attached to a black pole.

MAKE A STATEMENT

There has been a huge trend in wall murals in recent years and it’s easy to see why – they make such an impact in a space. This beautiful design features map references, jungle leaves and peacocks, so there is always something to look at, and the greys blend well with natural and taupe colours.

Top tip: You can wrap a room in a mural, but having it on just one wall makes more of a statement.

JUST ONE WALL

If you feel grey will dominate your bedroom, just paint one wall and choose a soft, warm charcoal that has a touch of pink in it. Set it off with white painted window frames and a trio of prints, then bring in more grey and pattern with the bedding.

ADD A RUG

Rather than having everything too matchy matchy, introduce grey as a pale neutral in a bedroom with pink bedlinen. A rug like this one will add texture and warmth just where you need it, and makes getting out of bed a bit more bearable!

Top Tip: If you are laying a rug on bare boards, make sure you put an anti-slip rug gripper underneath it to stop it moving.

FAUX PANELLING

Wall panelling is trending right now and adds an interesting element to a room, giving character to plain walls. If you don’t have panelling, fake it with wallpaper like this lovely design.

MADE TO MEASURE

Fitted wardrobes aren’t to everyone’s taste but they do make the best use of the space available as they are custom-made to fit. They work particularly well in awkward rooms with lots of angles, such as lofts, and offer a huge amount of storage, which can be tailored to individual needs. This design has a simple Shaker look in a soft grey, adding a timeless quality to the bedroom.

Top tip: Grey and pink work particularly well together creating a peaceful haven.

ADD PATTERN

Wallpaper is a great way to add grey to a bedroom, and there are some fantastic designs around. The contrasting lines and colour variations in this geo pattern give an extra dimension to the design, making it look like an optical illusion. It also has a subtle shine which reflects the light. It makes a great backdrop to the bed, and the fur throw and cushions look SO luxurious.

INVEST IN NEW SOFT FURNISHINGS

If you want to introduce grey into your bedroom, why not buy some new accessories? This sumptuous throw and Hummingbird cushions work perfectly with the French-style furniture as they both have a faded, vintage look. And they work perfectly with plain white bedlinen too.

GALLERY WALL

Use artwork to introduce grey into your bedroom. Use black and white images and place the frames together in a grid above the bed, choose different sizes and you could even mix up the frames – black, white and natural – for an eclectic look. Then build on the look with a grey chunky throw, rug and black and cream cushions.

Top Tip: Make sure the spacing between the frames is even and not too far apart, 4-5cm is a good gap.

LIGHTING MATTERS

Why not use grey lighting as your starting point? Sophisticated grey glass globes add subtle colour in a bedroom and are a classic design. Match the ceiling pendant to a table lamp, then your bedlinen can follow suit.

The colour of the moment, grey is everything you want it to be in almost any living space. Compatible with living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms, it’s only natural that its powers would work beautifully in a bedroom. These forty grey bedrooms show the stretch of grey across a range of themes and colour solutions. Often paired with brighter reds, oranges or purples, its muted hues complement and contrast over a variety of design solutions. Whether for a couple, bachelor or bachelorette, each of these designs delivers to their desired end – pampering, relaxation, or a good night’s sleep – with grey as their hero.

Patterned to perfection, this grey bedroom uses stripes, hexagons and concrete to provide a canvas for autumnal hues. Bright copper pendant lights and olive green are set upon by pops of yellow, blue and black in a rug and ornaments.

The modern industrial is exemplified in upper concrete walling and simple grey bedding. A wooden floor adds warmth, as a glass walk-in wardrobe mirrors more grey.

Monochromatic is not just black and white. This statement space juxtaposes grey and white in wall panelling, bedside fixtures, distressed wood and seven art forms.

Grey is the ideal minimalist hue. This space highlights its charm under panelled LED lighting and simple block furniture.

Green-grey tones add and remove emphasis in this bedroom. Abstract art over a concrete wall helps to center the space, symmetry created by two small side tables at either side of the bed. A leather chair and rug add cozy casual appeal.

Textures dominate this muted space, made resplendent by hanging globe pendant lights. Mirrored by a bedside bauble vase, grey strikes in a feature wall and joinery. Differing woods line the rest. The dark bedroom chair adds some contrast to the whole setup.

A grey feature wall is powerful, not overpowering. A geometric headboard acts the focal point, while grey bedding comforts white drop lighting, patterned wooden floors and two beige chairs.

Yet another one that uses cool geometric patterns on the headboard side to good effect.

Lending the masculine, grey wows in matte walls, a corrugated hanging light and complementary bedding. A row of white books and distressed abstract even out this grey and beige space.

A loftier respite is offered by grey and wood. Wooden Roman blinds reveal concrete and wooden stairs, culminating in a black futon bed. Monochromatic art ties it together.

Sprigs of fresh tulips add life to this three-panelled headboard, acting as a background. Matched by mirrors on either side, grey and green clothe the bed in natural tones.

The eclectic shines in top-to-toe grey walls, some matte, some concrete. Light grey windows open up a series of picture frames, wooden chest and table, and potted cacti. The industrial desk chair you see here is the Tolix armchair.

Grey and red intersect beautifully in this space for desire. Striped with a rose-red headboard and throw, grey wooden walls show off abstract art and add diamonds to the rug below.

Grey and purple play off one another in a room lit by a silver chandelier. A plum feature wall leads to violet bedding, curtains and an aubergine rug. Grey fills the spaces in between, adding character in a chaise lounge. We love how everything melds really well here (even the vanity chair!).

Lighter shades of pastel add decorum in this Florentine-patterned space, perfect for pampering. A violet chair matches a throw, while a grey rug and wallpaper align with a headboard and white drop chandeliers.

Grey makes the space larger, through walls headed by white textured panels. Mirrors either side reflect grey walls and framing curtains, doubling the space on either side.

Grey and black alternate using the tiling effect on the central wall. Placed on black wooden flooring, a grey rug picks up light, allowing a brown-and-beige bed to invite.

This 60’s style bedroom is light and bright, as afforded by the help of grey. The bedroom chandelier drops down from the ceiling like a sculpture. White chiffon curtains, a textured wall decoration and feature wall create spaces. A touch of grey bedding denotes the centre.

Greys and purples meet again in this multi-hued bedroom, lacquered and ornate. Grey provides a light central panel, turning purple on the sides. Purple-hued browns adorn the floor and leather chair, while a grey clock pops above central yellow cushions.

Grey denotes softness, in contrast to black and white. This multi-monochromatic space offers grey relief in a soft rug, duvet, and glass wall panel, while black, white and wood frame the rest.

Grey and orange are a perfect pairing in this modern space, offering warmer tones. Grey evokes calm in a feature wall and bedding, while wood and pumpkin invite autumn siestas.

Grey’s cool allows yellow’s sophistication in this bold bedroom. Framing the central feature, grey chairs and an ottoman play with charcoal and white on a wooden floor.

Grey and pink offer the feminine in a couple’s bedroom. Grey stripes the walls and bedding, while pink adds detail, a black rug grounding.

Grey lends the kitsch elegance, in this grey and white space. Grey frames a crochet print and bed under, while white gets fresh in bedding and curtains. Pastels and metallics draw the eye.

Grey emanates the modern and clean. A side wall, bedding and side table in grey meet a beige headboard and monochromatic canvas, in this unisex space.

The rectangle patterned headboard extends to the ceiling to neatly partition the bedroom into a sleeping space and a dressing space.

Shapes, rather than colours, dominate this grey space. A chequered feature wall leads to an oblong bed space, matched by a cylindrical bedside lamp and table.

Green and grey culminate in a central, minimalist futon bed. Exploding in feature wall textures, grey shines in the wardrobe glass. A green-grey shagpile creates softness.

A grey inlet shines in this space, as framed by white walls. Wooden floors offer a base to an L-shaped bedside table, window seat and bed, dressed in – you guessed it – a myriad of grey tones.

This minimalist grey bedroom is a darker space for sleeping. Wedged between floor-length mirrors and grounded on wood, a sprig of flowers gives contrast.

Perfect for a couple, this grey and white room focuses on clean lines. Simple charcoal pinstripes adorn a white wall and curtains, while grey oscillates between dark and light.

Light and bright, this space only softly touches grey. Glowing lamps on a white bedside bench herald a soft space for sleeping, amongst white and swan grey.

Grey and wood make a statement with a panelled wall and glossy dark-wood floors. Two monochromatic prints stand out above glowing curve lights, drawing the viewer in.

Grey and white evoke a relaxed feel, backgrounded by taupe cotton panelling. Letting in light from a floor-length window, grey, brown, white and taupe are sun and lamp-lit. A beige woollen rug keeps them company.

Grey and wood alternate in this industrial space, built for a bachelor. Rough wooden bedframes, window seats and a feature wall are joined by a grey headboard panel, walls, bedding and cylindrical lighting. LED lights frame the scene.

Another bedroom for a bachelor, charcoal and wood room here form the slick. Adorned with a racing car over a striking wooden panel, charcoal panelled walls match a plush rug and soft bedding.

Eclecticism is muted by grey in a half-wall, quilted chair and charcoal bedding. Dots connect to photos and memories on grey, while wooden walls and flooring sidle next to a stack of books.

Grey becomes warmer in this brown and grey bedroom. Shrouded in semi-lined grey wallpaper, warm chocolate bedding, a chair and wooden elements create cosiness between lighting.

Grey and pastels mix beautifully together, as this sleeping space shows. Light grey walls and a matching headboard are popped by hues of mint, baby pink and blue to add the feminine. Intersecting sepia portraits and bedside dandelions provide delicacy.

Almost green, this grey and beige bedroom looks different closer in. Dangling white bauble lights glow on a grey rug and charcoal walling. Beige and white bedding with light-wood fixtures rest beside bedside tables. An olive chair adds a finishing touch.

You can hear the sea in this oceanic bedroom, heralded by a painting in blue. Grey velvet bedding and quartered carpets mark the space beneath a multitude of black and white hanging lights. And just look at those beautiful wall sconces!

A touch of honey is all it took to liven up this grey space, resplendent in honeycomb patterning. Grey and honey mix with black and white to add colour and texture to different living areas.

Expert opinion

Irina Klimova

I am 29 years old. I am an interior designer. I love my job and have been doing it for over 8 years. About 100 projects have been implemented. I provide professional advice.

Yellow color will be an excellent helper in visual correction of long and narrow rooms, if you use it on "short" walls, and paint the rest in white or pearl.
