Gray is a safe color for nearly any room in the house, but it is particularly versatile in the bedroom. No matter your home decor style, there's a gray shade that will work for you. A color often misunderstood, gray is rarely depressing or one-note. Instead, gray paint colors lend a tranquil, soft, and moody feel to a bedroom.

If you crave a sophisticated, elegant style, look to the darker, cool tones. For any mood you want to set in your bedroom, gray can play well with other colors and create a deep, personality-filled space.
- Color Family: Gray; shades can be warm or cool
- Complementary Colors: Works with most colors because it's a neutral
- Pairs Well With: Many colors including pink, red, green, blue, and white
- Mood: Calming
- Where to Use: Bedrooms

Light enough to be considered a neutral, Farrow & Ball's Pavilion Gray is more of a greige than a true gray. This cool gray is a medium shade that works amazingly in contemporary or modern bedroom spaces. When painted on the wall, hints of its blue undertone shine through, allowing it to pair well with other cool hues and similar colors.
Tip
Priming your bedroom walls before painting will help the paint adhere better. Oil-based primers tend to be the best option for interior walls because they are more durable and cover up minor imperfections.

STORMY SKY 1616, BENJAMIN MOORE
“I love using this hue because it is elusive. Like its namesake, Stormy Sky can be dramatic but also translucent. I’ve used it everywhere from exteriors to kitchens, where it looks beautiful with white accents and metal finishes. This paint also works well as a base for other colors—I’ve even done 50-50 mixes with it!” – WINDSOR SMITH

ALPACA SW 7022, SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
"This transitional, warm greige is a great go-to for bedrooms and cabinets if you want a light color, but not white." — BAILEY AUSTIN
4 of 42
FRESH CONCRETE, PORTOLA PAINTS
"Nobody does California colors quite like Los Angeles-based Portola Paints.
This color, which we used in a modern beach home’s main bath, is a unique blue-gray with a hint of lavender in it and gives the bathroom a chic and crisp hue with the California light bouncing off the Pacific Ocean outside the window." — JOE LUCAS
5 of 42
BLUE GRAY NO. 91, FARROW & BALL
“This is not really blue and not really gray. It’s kind of creamy-dreamy, like a beautiful cloud. I think of an office as a place where you just want to be restful and creative, and this is very calming—and very chic with a pop of navy or lavender. It’s a blank canvas for whatever you’re doing at the moment.” — DAVID PHOENIX
6 of 42
ALASKAN SKIES 972, BENJAMIN MOORE
"Appropriately named, Alaskan Skies offsets our state's dramatic change of lighting conditions throughout the year by serving as a neutral base for contrasting interior finishes, all while maintaining an uplifting atmosphere." — BAUER/CLIFTON INTERIORS
7 of 42
MINDFUL GRAY SW7106, SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
"Connecting texture with quiet serenity was my recipe for a modern-glam home found in the mountains of Utah.
Mindful Gray offered a respite that embraced all of the rugged textures." — ANNE MARIE BARTON
8 of 42
DOWN PIPE NO. 26, FARROW & BALL
“Lately, I’ve been having a good time with this deep gray. It changes a lot in different conditions. When the room is dark or in shadow, it seems almost black. But in direct sun- light, it’s the color of a Baltic afternoon. So it’s not boring. It also goes well with caramel leather chairs—something I can imagine putting into almost any office.” DAVID NETTO
9 of 42
MOONSHINE 2140-60, BENJAMIN MOORE
“There is something about this shade that you can’t quite pin down. It reminds me of mist and fog—a little hazy and soothing. The pale gray manages to be versatile without being boring: It works in a variety of situations, from a light-filled bathroom to a spacious living room. On walls, it’s subtle yet powerful enough to create dimension.” — MICHELE DOPP
10 of 42
TITANIUM OC-49, BENJAMIN MOORE
"Benjamin Moore Titanium is a soft, luminous off-white, with a little green in it that is bright enough to light up our often rainy weather here in Oregon.
" — JESSICA HELGERSON
11 of 42
PARMA GRAY NO. 27, FARROW & BALL
“A beautiful blend of blue and gray that approaches robin’s egg but is chalkier and more elegant. It’s soothing and deep and will remain relevant as the child grows. For a boy's room, bring in café au lait tones and pops of strong olive green. For a girl, ground the room with dove gray and lavender accents.” – AMANDA NISBET
12 of 42
HIMALAYAN TREK 1542, BENJAMIN MOORE
"This fantastic neutral is great for both modern and classical interiors. A perfect balance of cool and warm, it's also remarkably similar to our local Chicago limestone." — TOM STRINGER
13 of 42
REVERE PEWTER HC-172, BENJAMIN MOORE
“This is the absolute perfect greige. No need
to look any further. And it’s amazing with a brighter contrasting
trim. I love it so much that I’ve used it in three of my homes. In light-flooded rooms it feels cool and crisp. In darker, cozier rooms it’s very soothing.
” — SHAWN HENDERSON

GRANITE AF-660, BENJAMIN MOORE
"For a warm brown-grey, Granite is one of my favorites, bringing coziness and sophistication to any room. This color invites you to curl up next to a fire." — ALICE WILLIAMS
15 of 42
NEW HOPE GRAY 2130-50, BENJAMIN MOORE
“I call this blue-gray a ‘shadow color.’ It changes with the light, which makes it interesting to enter a room throughout the day. This particular hue con- jures images of the ocean and the sky—ideal for a tranquil Southampton beach house, where I used it on kitchen cabinets.It provided a punch of color without being too over-the-top.” — SANDRA NUNNERLEY
16 of 42
GULL WING GRAY 2134-50, BENJAMIN MOORE
“This blue-gray, in an eggshell finish, feels like an icy drink on a hot day. It visually cools off a room that gets loads of light. And then you can build in some warmth with layers of color and texture in the furnishings. I’d bring in earth tones like chocolate brown, rust, and mustard gold, and maybe pop it with a hit of turquoise.
” – SCOTT LASLIE

SILVER PEONY SW 6547, SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
"Having both southern and western sun exposures in a room can be tricky, but this unusual color changes with the time of day from a cool lavender in the morning to the warmest of blush in the evening." — KEVIN WALSH
18 of 42
CLASSIC GRAY 1548, BENJAMIN MOORE
"This neutral is so versatile and offers a cool and calm retreat from the heat. Art hangs beautifully on it and it lets the room be the showpiece, not the paint color. Our design studio is painted this color and we love the environment that it creates!" — NANCY PRICE
19 of 42
GRANITE DUST, BEHR
“I placed this color—a pale gray that resembles a hazy sky—in a lacquered finish on the ceiling of a small black-and-white-striped foyer. The glossy effectis easier to get on a ceiling than on walls, while the reflective, mirror-like surface gives much-needed depth to the room. The shade is also a bit somber, which helped balance the bold walls.
” – RINAT LAVI
20 of 42
CITY SHADOW CSP-60, BENJAMIN MOORE
"Gray skies and a misty rain can be quite beautiful and comforting. Benjamin Moore’s City Shadow captures this cozy feeling perfectly. Brighten it up a bit with unlacquered brass fixtures and hardware and pair alongside Calacatta marble. You can’t go wrong!" — KATIE HACKWORTH

RAILINGS NO. 31, FARROW & BALL
“I used this cool-toned, blackened-steel shade on the stair spindles of my own home. The color really pops against the neutral palette of the space around it. My advice for working with a slick finish: Make sure the raw surface is free of any blemishes, because once you apply the paint, the shine will magnify them!” – CHRISTINE STUCKER
House Beautiful

WICKHAM GRAY HC-171, BENJAMIN MOORE
“I’ve been known to go on a gray streak, in every shade from steel to a warm French gray. No matter the gray, it becomes a serene backdrop for everything—flowers, books, art, fabrics, or people.
I like bordering gray with white trim, white fabrics, and white furniture. Sometimes I pop a little red here and there. But you want to be careful when picking your gray—nothing too sad, cold, or dingy.” – MATTHEW PATRICK SMYTH

ANEW GRAY SW 7030, SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
“These two are far from just gray and white! Anew Gray is like lichen, changing with the light, while Alabaster reminds me of the beautiful stone for which it is named—pure and strong. Even though white and gray are thought of as cool colors, these have just enough taupe in them to make them feel warm. I used them together as the wall and trim color in a historic home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and they provided the perfect foundation in a space where art and fabrics play the leading roles.” – LISA MENDE

RAMIE SW 6156, SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
“Old-world sumptuousness was the goal for the living room of this 1920s home. Since the clients were doing a minor face-lift rather than a to-the- studs overhaul, color had to impart character.
This hue, white with a soft green cast, recalls an heirloom linen you’d find in Europe, and I used it in a way that Europeans do, by painting the entire room, including the walls, ceiling, trim, and fireplace. Pure sophistication!” – MICHAEL DEL PIERO

METROPOLITAN AF-690, BENJAMIN MOORE
“Like the little gray dress of colors, this is understated and trend-proof—and ideal for a young brother and sister’s shared bedroom, where adding a wall wasn’t an option. It’s neutral with- out being boring, and it worked with her favorite pinks and his favorite greens. It also made the space seem larger, so they could spread out, both literally and figuratively, to play, imagine, and dream.” – CATE DUNNING

BEACH GRASS GRAY, DONALD KAUFMAN COLOR
“This gray is shadowy, with cool violet undertones and a touch of luminosity—the color of a bespoke wool satin suit. I used it for a dramatic formal entry with a black-and-white marble floor and twin half-circle staircases.
It accentuates the architecture without stealing the show. A common-area color that’s anything but common!” – JEFF ANDREWS

ICED CUBE SILVER, 2121-50 BENJAMIN MOORE
“My go-to for bedrooms with vaulted ceilings is this tranquil, mutable blue. Stare overhead, and the color seems to go on for- ever, conjuring notions of the infinite. That sends you into a contemplative state while you’re experiencing an expansiveness. So wild! Pair with white for a monochromatic look, or with lilac for a feminine palette.” – CHRISTINA MURPHY PISA

PALE SMOKE 1584, BENJAMIN MOORE
“An ice blue exuding tranquillity, this is my go-to for rooms lacking glamour. If it’s a space with no pizzazz and no specialness, no problem—I just saturate it with this color, and it’s immediately sophisticated. Because it’s able to be warmed up or cooled down, it’s the perfect back- drop. Pair it with silver or gold, natural woods, and almost any blues, from turquoise to gray-blue.
” JONI VANDERSLICE

MISTY SW 6232, SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
“Walk into a room painted in this barely there hydrangea blue and a sense of tranquility washes over you. You’ll immediately want to slip on flip-flops— or kick them off entirely! While it’s a classic choice for a shore house, the gray undertones make it sophisticated enough to venture inland, too.” – AUSTIN HANDLER

OVERCAST C2-738, C2 PAINT
“This adaptable blue-gray is the Meryl Streep of color. Multilayered and complex, it achieves the almost impossible: It makes a mammoth room feel both endless and enveloping. By bringing the walls in a bit, it gave a bedroom with tons of volume a soothing feeling without losing any sense of spaciousness. I’ve even painted it on kitchen cabinets, and it works its magic there, too.” – CHRIS BARRETT

The interior in gray tones can be called one of the classic and time-tested options for interior design. This color, as one of the basic tones of the palette, goes well with various shades and can be successfully applied in a variety of style solutions.
The psychology of gray and its possibilities in the interior
Gray color in the interior, according to psychologists, tend to choose calm and balanced personalities, for whom inner peace and tranquility have special weight. This color is ideal for decorating bedrooms, recreation areas and relaxation. It does not irritate the human visual receptors, allows the brain to relax and reduces the level of anxiety and stress.
The gray color in the design provides a lot of scope for the use of various bright accents. It is not only an excellent background for them, but also to a large extent muffles excessive variegation and softens even the richest colors in the decor.
For this reason, it is quite common as a base tone in the design of not only rooms, but also clothes.
When creating an interior with the inclusion of the color in question, the level of illumination of the room is of paramount importance. The lack of natural light and ill-conceived artificial lighting will make the room gloomy and depressing. Therefore, when working on a project, special attention should be paid to the study of the lighting scenario of the interior.
Gray shades and combinations
Gray has many gradations, each of which is able to reveal the interior in its own way:
- The light shade refers to the basic tones that are easy to fit into almost any style. It visually expands the room, fills it with air and light. It is ideal for creating a room in the style of a classic, Provence, minimalism, hi-tech.
- The dark version, on the contrary, narrows the room, gives it intimacy and intimacy. Recommended for large rooms or as a highlight of one accent wall.
Fits into a minimalist, modern or loft interior. - The addition of blue and purple gives complex mix combinations, the abundance of which in a room can make it difficult to perceive. It is better to use such shades as additional ones, for example, for textiles.
- Silver is associated with a space theme, can be used in the design of high-tech rooms or a themed children's room for a young explorer and inventor.
Gray is one of the friendliest shades and is successfully combined with almost the entire palette of colors. Each new combination of gray in the interior will have its own visual and psychological effect, which should be considered when creating a room design project:
- With blue, turquoise. A calm combination that brings a feeling of coolness and freshness. Ideal for bedrooms.
- Purple, pink. A delicate palette for creating relaxing and sensual interiors. Suitable for decorating private rooms for girls or young women.
- With red, orange. An inspiring and passionate combination. It will be acceptable in the kitchen, living room in retro style or modern interiors.
- With yellow, mustard. The optimistic combination, brightness and sunshine of yellow shades against the background of a gray base is revealed in the best way. A good combination to decorate any room.
- With beige, green. Soothing ecological combinations. Good for classic or Scandinavian styles.
Use of gray in various styles
Shades of gray belong to the basic tones, which allows them to be included in almost all existing interior styles. The undoubted advantage is neutrality and good compatibility with other tones. By choosing gray as the basis of the interior and diluting it with new shades each time, it will be possible to update the interior of the room in fairly simple and economical ways.
In every interior style, the use of shades of gray has its own characteristics.
Hi-tech
A modern high-tech interior implies an abundance of grayish tones in various shades and textures:
- metal;
- glass;
- stone;
- concrete.
Modern designers actively complement a diverse palette from light to dark shades with natural wood and living plants to create a warmer and more comfortable space.
Loft
The urban style, which represents the adaptation of factory premises to residential apartments, includes shades of gray in its main palette along with brick ocher. In a loft interior, you can allow the use of fairly dark shades, such as graphite.
The loft makes it possible to use almost unlimited shades of the discussed color in the interior, not only as decoration for walls, floors and ceilings, but also in furniture, accessories and textiles.
Classic
The classic interior, with its restraint in textures and shades, tends to use light tones of the color in question.
They can be used as wall cladding or upholstered furniture. The most common combinations for a classic style will be combinations with beige, pastel shades of green, pink and blue.
Scandinavian Eco
The traditional Scandinavian interior involves painting the plastered walls with white paint with the addition of gray and yellow colors. The resulting light shade perfectly reflects sunlight, creates the illusion of a large and bright space. Living plants, natural wood furniture, cotton and wool textiles are in perfect harmony with it.
Often used in Scandinavian interiors and dark shades of gray. They are used for furniture and interior items, bringing contrast to the overall bright image of the room.
Country and Provence
Styles close to nature actively include natural shades of gray in their palettes. As a rule, these are quite light gradations of color, acting as a basic background for painting walls or furniture.
To create a rustic style, it is diluted with traditional textiles with printed patterns or small checks, an abundance of small decor and paintings.
Rich burgundy and green colors will be good companions to gray shades in Provence or country style. Such combinations are classic for these interiors.
Gray interior in various rooms
The use of gray has its own characteristics depending on the purpose of the room:
- The living room should be comfortable, conducive to rest and relaxation. Combinations with beige, green shades are suitable. Particular attention should be paid to the lighting of the room, having worked out spot light options to create various lighting scenarios: from solemn to intimate.
- A kitchen in shades of gray can be both modern and classic. It is worthwhile to carefully consider the style solution of household appliances and pay attention to the color palette of decorative elements. The mood of the kitchen will depend on their choice: from relaxing to energetic.
- The bedroom in this color will be the perfect place to sleep and relax. It is recommended to use combinations with muted pastel shades and avoid excessively dark color spots.
- The children's room should be bright, so you should not use dark shades of color. The advantage of gray walls in a child's room will be the special ability of this color to smooth out the variegation of the decor used in the room. Even the abundance of multi-colored toys against the background of gray walls will not cause a feeling of chaos and disorder.
- The entrance area in grayish shades can be created in a modern or loft design. It will be interesting to combine the color in question with the texture of brick or natural stone.
- A bathroom in muted greyish shades can become an oasis of peace. It is not recommended to create the interior of this room completely in this color with a small area of \u200b\u200bthe room, as it will create a feeling of tightness and pressure.
When creating an interior with the inclusion of gray, it is worth remembering both the advantages of the shade and the complexities that it brings. A competent approach to interior design and following our advice will help create an unforgettable and harmonious project for any room.
Gray Color in the Interior (Psychology + Shades + Combinations)
Contents of the article interior solutions. And this is a big misconception! In fact, no other color is able to surpass it in versatility, variability of application. Gray color in the interior is used by various styles. Everything about the richness of its shades, the possibilities of combining them with other colors is known to designers. But non-professionals will find many pleasant discoveries!
Shades of gray in interiors
Gray is a real aristocrat among colors. Its shades are calm, elegant and refined. They do not irritate the eye, do not cause strong emotions, therefore they can be used for rooms of any purpose, from a functional kitchen to a bedroom for a teenager.
Look at the following photos of the interior in gray and see for yourself! In addition to this advantage, the gray scale has a unique ability to support almost any style in design. It is easily combined with bright and calm tones, warm, cold and neutral colors. Shades of gray are also a great choice if you want to create a design with an emphasis on drawings. For example, they are suitable for a living room with large photo wallpapers on the wall, they will serve as a backdrop for furniture decorated with ornaments of any kind.
Interestingly, shades of gray of different lightness are involved in styles that differ significantly in mood. So, luxurious dark gray tones can play a leading role in the design of a living room, kitchen, bathroom in techno, hi-tech, loft styles. The noble range is well suited for neoclassical interiors. Combinations based on dark gray also use extraordinary mix directions: eclecticism, fusion.
Graphite, marengo, anthracite, etc.
help create a stylish design. Both large areas of such shades are used, for example, the gray color of the walls in the interior, as well as furniture, decor, drawings on the wallpaper in a similar range. You should be more careful when decorating the bedroom. A large number of dark gray tones will deprive the room of comfort. Medium and light shades are universal. They play the role of main or auxiliary - it all depends on the idea of the project. These colors can be used in the same styles as their dark counterparts, but will not look as visually heavy. In general, such a range is relevant for almost any modern trend.
In the interiors of Provence, Italian, Mediterranean style, light and medium shades of gray allow you to create a mood of comfort and harmony, to support the natural theme. In Scandinavian and modern design, the whole range of grays is used, but dark and medium ones are most often used in furniture and decor. These shades bring contrast without disturbing the atmosphere of the style.
Inappropriate gray scale will be only for ethnic design trends, where warm colors dominate. Historical styles, due to their tendency to solemnity, also rarely create interiors in gray colors. The only exceptions are the variants of their modern reading.
Combination of gray color in the interior
Combining gray tones with shades of other colors is not difficult. Even people who are far from the subject of design cope with the task of selecting combinations, since the neutral gray scale is undemanding to partners. Nevertheless, there are some rules, recommendations for combining colors in the interior with gray:
- Light gray tones are delicate and gentle, great as a background color. However, they require bright and dark partners so that the interior does not look faded.
- Medium and dark grays can be depressing in large quantities. They should be diluted with shades of white, bright accents. Metallic details look beautiful against the background of medium and dark grays.
An excellent example is household appliances and chrome-colored accessories for the kitchen, bathroom in high-tech, techno styles. The gray color in the interior of the living room can be diluted with the help of bright or golden accents: figurines, paintings, pillows, carpet, etc. - Gray tones look harmoniously with any juicy shades. But if catchy tones are planned to be used in large enough quantities (for example, in the decor of one of the walls, furniture, etc.), then one or two accent colors should be limited.
- Grey-based combinations containing only the same neutral shades should not be made. Such interiors look boring, unfinished and uncomfortable. In some cases, an exception may be a gray bathroom or kitchen - in a techno, high-tech interior, such a solution is acceptable.
- There are a lot of colors that match gray in the interior. But there are actual combinations that look especially advantageous and are suitable for rooms of a certain purpose.
