Industrial design undoubtedly evokes a unique look, but it might not be for everyone. Utilizing exposed brick as a bedroom feature can transform this space into one with the perfect splash of industrial chic.

Bricks can be a great use of material that’ll help give your home an urban vibe. Exposing only a section of the brick in the bedroom may be the way to go if you’re looking for a more subtle and modern bedroom design.

If you’re looking for fresh and modern home design concepts, check out the exposed brick bedroom ideas in the list below to give your sleeping space the perfect dose of subtle industrial style. With the right design, you can easily add a dynamic element to your bedroom without making too many drastic changes.

Use Just One Part of the Exposed Brick Wall

Your entire bedroom doesn’t have to be comprised of an exposed brick wall. In this space, only a small section of the drywall was cut out to expose the brick underneath. This makes the space feel warm and cozy while adding the perfect amount of barely-there industrial design.

Soft neutral colors on the wall and understated hues like beige on the bedding and headboard prevent it from becoming too dark and brooding. The white pendant lamp and the two white table lamps decorating the bedside tables stand out powerfully against the brick wall texture.

Incorporate Color

This modern bedroom has a brick wall on one side, while the other is painted a deep, dark blue. The use of color draws the eye toward the opposite side of the room and gives it a bold two-toned look.

A large window lets the natural light flow into the room, and artwork and accessories round out the design to bring it a pop of the homeowner’s personality. Painting the ceiling gives the space a lighter look overall as it balances out the dark tones.

Create a Bohemian Retreat

A large brick wall doesn’t have to represent industrial design alone. The whitewashed brick wall in this space gives it a light, earthy vibe.

Natural and breezy textiles on the bedding, curtains, and area rug along with the paper light fixture and light brown wood floors tie everything together, creating a laid-back boho-chic retreat with a touch of rustic style that makes it a perfect place for relaxing at the end of a long day.

Break Up the Bedroom with a Separate Wall

This unique bedroom design features a separate retaining wall with a large interior window that visually breaks up the space. You can still see the exposed brick wall behind it, so everything flows and remains cohesive.

The wooden beams were painted black to match the window frame color, which helps to give the room a classic industrial feel. Other black accents and a dark wood floor tie the entire theme together.

Paint Brick to Lighten Things Up

Instead of leaving a dark brick wall as-is, the designer here chose to paint the walls white. Not only does this make the space look and feel larger, but it also gives it a charming, calming aesthetic.

The use of white walls rather than raw brick transforms this space into a romantic bedroom accented with cozy linens and a light brown wood floor. If you want a more sanitized look, white is an excellent choice, but you can paint the brick in bright colors, too.

Make it Eclectic

Although there is a section of exposed brick wall here, it doesn’t have the typical look you see in industrial spaces. A large framed glass window serves as a room divider to help the room feel more open, and a mixture of styles makes this space the true definition of an eclectic bedroom.

The use of live houseplants, clear acrylic accent tables, playful patterns on textiles, and modern furniture work well together which gives the bedroom a fun, funky feel infused with personality.

Use Brick to Create Cozy Bedrooms

Brick can add a warm, inviting element to any room like the one shown in this design. Although the walls on either side of the bed are made of drywall, the exposed brick at the end of the room gives it a subtle, cozy touch.

Since the brick wall is at the far end of the room, it immediately becomes the focal point. A tall bookcase against the wall and a nightstand on either side of the bed topped with table lamps give this small bedroom a ton of functionality, too. White walls and ceilings give it a fresh, clean feel that makes the exposed brick wall stand out even better.

Blend Brick with Other Materials for a True Industrial Style

This contemporary bedroom boasts two different materials on the wall: brick and limewash. Using just a sliver of exposed brick next to the dark gray limewash wall instantly makes it look industrial.

Not every brick wall bedroom has to feature brick alone. Using these two materials next to each other is a great way to add more texture and interest. If you don’t want to use grey limewash, you can work with other tones for a similar contrast.

via Stadshem

Make Brick Walls a Work of Art

In this bedroom, pieces of the drywall were strategically “ripped” away to show the exposed brick underneath. Not only does this add visual interest to the room, but it also gives it a splash of bold artistic flair.

The designer chose to leave some of the drywall on the opposite side of the window. This technique helps the two materials work together to create contrast, while the ragged edges that expose the brick wall bring it a dynamic finishing touch.

via Alvhem

Place the Bed on the Opposite Side of the Brick Wall

Most people tend to place the bed directly against the exposed brick wall, but here, the designer chose to do the opposite. Putting the bed against the drywall completely changes the look of the space.

The owners of this home also added a single hook to the brick wall side, providing a convenient place to hang a piece of clothing, a cozy robe, towels, or even art and decor. Since this bedroom is fairly small, mounting large mirrors on the wall is a smart and easy way to make it feel more open and spacious.

Exposed Brick Walls Can Create a Cozy Cave

In this studio apartment bedroom, the only area with exposed brick walls is the small cubby area cut out to create a cozy place for the bed. This is an excellent option if you have an open floor plan like the one shown here.

The use of brick delineates the difference between the sleeping area and the rest of the home, and it also helps if you’re into eclectic designs that incorporate a mixture of materials, colors, textures, and styles. Using more understated hues on the walls softens up the brick and helps it to fit in the space rather than take away from it.

via Entrance Makleri

Keep Exposed Brick in Attic Bedrooms

This awesome attic bedroom has it all, including a large skylight, wooden beams, and a large brick wall. Instead of covering the brick, the homeowner opted to leave it alone. The white floor helps to keep this cozy bedroom feeling a bit more open and airy.

Although drywall was used here, a shiplap ceiling could also give it a cozy, intimate vibe. Adding a large mirror above the dresser or on the wall in small spaces like this one helps to reflect the light, which also gives it a much brighter and more open feel.

via Stadshem

Incorporate More Understated Hues

Sometimes, a brick wall bedroom can end up feeling much too dark and dreary. By using light colors or basic white on the walls, you can design a space that feels much more soothing and inviting.

Wooden furniture and a tall tree in the corner bring this cozy bedroom a feeling of natural warmth that doesn’t take too much away from the brick as the main feature. Since the section of the brick wall is so large, you could also add a gallery wall here to incorporate some of your favorite personal pieces.

Darker wall colors in a bedroom can be quite a bold choice, however, dark green paint combines deep tones with the soothing and fresh element a green palette brings to the table resulting in a bold yet balanced interior palette.

A dramatic effect in a small bedroom

When you look for inspiration and advice on how to design a small room, you will usually get the recommendation to use lighter paint colors. A darker green color in a small bedroom like this one will have a unique effect especially because of the small surface, where the floor plan will enhance the dramatic effect of the color in the space.

A dark shade like this, however, can work in small rooms that get ample natural light. If you are working with a small and dark bedroom floor plan, it might be better to opt for a lighter shade.

While most interior design rules will tell you to use a lighter color in a small bedroom, as it will reflect more daylight and make the room appear bigger, sometimes you just have to throw all rules out of the window and go with your gut.

The dark grey walls in this beautiful sleep space highlight the historic features on the window and crown molding underneath the ceiling, while also accentuating the bright white hardwood floor.

The black-painted vintage dresser with the green plant is a real focal point next to the window and the art print with the orange tones adds a beautiful warm element to the mix.

The black upholstered headboard blends into the dark grey walls and forms the perfect backdrop for the lighter shades in the bedding, which reflect the daylight just as well as if a lighter wall color would have been selected.

A dark grey bedroom enhanced with a yellow color palette in the textiles

The whole scheme in this bedroom revolves around the dark grey walls in combination with the tactile fabrics in warm tones. Since grey is such a versatile color, it can be paired up with any accent color you like, which makes it easy to switch up the look of your space and carry out your bedroom ideas: just switch out the comforter and curtains and you can have a little bedroom transformation in no time.

A dark and warm grey bedroom with shades of blue and orange on the bed

The warm and dark shade of grey on the walls in this historic bedroom makes the fabric pendant light and the curved beige fabric headboard stands out in a powerful way. The mixture of beige, blue, and orange textiles on the wall adds a colorful note to the setting that ties the space together.

Pair Dark Grey with an Eye-catching Black Vintage Piece

The dramatic appearance of this dark grey bedroom has been made even more powerful by adding a black-painted vintage glass cabinet that is even darker than the walls. The rest of the interior pieces lighten the palette and add a bit of contrast.

Light grey is a great color option for your bedroom walls, especially if you want to achieve a soft look that is a bit darker than white walls, yet doesn’t have an effect on the natural light that can flow freely in a room.

Below, you can find a selection of my favorite light grey bedroom ideas in various shades and tones. The list includes a few warm grey bedroom ideas, which are not yet greige wall colors, and a few dark grey options in case you are working with a light-flooded bedroom.

If you are unsure about which grey to select for your bedroom, I explain more about how to select the right grey paint color at the bottom of this post.

Subtle grey walls combined with neutral tones in the fabrics

This subtle grey bedroom has a grey shade that is just enough to set the walls apart from the white ceiling, the white curtains, and the white furniture pieces in the room.

The soft grey wall color is paired up with a mixture of browns and beiges in the bedding and the look is finished off with a beautiful fabric pendant light for a natural touch.

The two beige table lamps on each side of the bed seem to blend in and stand out against the wall color at the same time, resulting in a subtle touch that is very elegant.

A minimalist grey bedroom with a black accent color

I think this is one of the most simple yet sophisticated grey bedroom ideas. The picture ledge adds visual interest to this modern bedroom with white bedding and black light fixtures. On the ledge, the combination of black and white art prints against the perfect backdrop of the grey walls is a beautiful focal point in the interior design of the space.

Mixing and matching frames on a ledge above a bed is a great way to create a home decor element that is easily interchangeable, as you can just swap out the frames and update them as you desire.

A grey bedroom with a white trim

This grey bedroom has white-soaped hardwood flooring and light wood furniture pieces, which gives it a subtle look and feel. The grey walls make the white trim and window frames stand out in a nice way, highlighting the historic features of the room.

The additional grey accents in the wall lamps with the brass inlay and the grey bedding add sophistication, while the brown tones in the throw pillows make the room warm and inviting.

The green fiddle fig tree in the corner of the room combined with the Monstera plants in the window sill add a fresh element to the space.

Subtle shades of grey and blue combined with natural tones

This is one of the most delicate soft grey bedroom ideas and I think it becomes even more interesting with the addition of the navy blue details in the textiles and accessories. The blue tones are balanced out by the beiges and warm wood tones and the chrome table lamps are the perfect finishing touch against the grey bedroom walls.

Blues and beiges are on opposite sides of the color spectrum, which is why they can have such an interesting effect on an interior with a modest color palette.

A more dramatic grey bedroom with dark grey walls

When you use dark greys in a light-flooded room, they tend to have a more subtle effect, just as a lighter tone would have in a low-light room. The dark grey walls provide this space with a sophisticated backdrop from which the white bedding, white sockets, and the combination of black and white art prints jump out

The green eucalyptus branch and the white alarm clock on the simple wooden stool are essential elements to finish off the look and they elevate the neutral color scheme of the space.

A soft grey bedroom combined with blush pink bedsheets

This particular grey bedroom idea looks extra subtle and delicate as the soft grey is paired up with a warmer palette. The soft backdrop of the walls enhances the appearance of the subtle pink bedsheets, adding a beautiful elegance to the room.

The soft peach tones of the bedding also come back in the feather lamp which adds another textural element to this delicate bedroom interior.

A soft grey bedroom combined with dark green bedding

Grey bedrooms can work well with lighter textiles, however, when you add a darker note like the dark green bedding in this case, the look becomes slightly more dramatic.

The grey tones of the wall come back in the grey area rug underneath the bed, which makes the white architectural elements and wardrobe stand out in this grey bedroom scheme, accentuating the ceiling height and shape of the room.

The majestic white fabric pendant light above the bed finishes the look off perfectly, while also accentuating the ceiling height in this space.

A grey bedroom scheme with vintage bedside tables

This grey bedroom idea combines shades of grey on both the walls as well as in the bedding with subtle black accents in the bedside lamps and in the art prints. This soft grey setting is finished off with warm wood tones on the vintage cabinets next to the bed that stand out against this beautiful setting.

Letting the wall color come back in the bed sheets is a great way to achieve a cohesive base look that can then be finished off with more elaborate design elements and colors.

A light pastel grey combined with warm tones in the textiles

This is one of my favorite grey bedroom ideas, as the green-tinted hues in the wall paint add a gorgeous freshness to this room with beautiful details.

The natural light coming through those amazing balcony windows is reflected beautifully on this greenish hue and the grey accents in the textiles and soft furnishings stand out against the white and beige bedding.

The red leaves on the window sill are the finishing touch to this beautiful palette and the white fabric pendant light fits the space wonderfully.

A minimalist grey bedroom in a studio apartment

While most of the grey bedroom ideas in this list are master bedrooms, in this case, the wall color is applied to a small apartment with just one room. The grey wall color is wedged in between white floors and white ceilings and I love the way they bring out the black metal heater in the corner.

The beige striped bedding and the chrome wall lamp tie this grey bedroom look together nicely and the area rug behind the bed breaks up the white flooring in a subtle way.

A cool grey bedroom combined with burgundy tones

Cool-toned greys tend to pair up nicely with warmer tones in the soft furnishings, which is the case with this beautiful medium-grey bedroom including white and burgundy tones in the textiles on the bed.

Dramatic shades of darker greys tend to make white moldings and window frames stand out in a more powerful way, which is especially interesting when you want to show off beautiful historic details in your building.

The brass wall lamps and the moon print add a subtle yet interesting touch above the bed and the contrasting black accent also comes back in the black bentwood chair next to the white window.

A minimalist grey bedroom with pale grey walls

I think this combination of the light grey wall color and the tone-on-tone wardrobe results in the most majestic grey bedroom ideas on the list. This master bedroom is decorated in a subtle and neutral color palette with black accents in the art piece and on the rattan drawer tables next to the bed.

The white floorboards are relatively high in this space, breaking up the large surface of the grey-painted walls.

Grey bedroom combined with bright colours

While most of the grey bedroom ideas in this list feature a neutral color palette, this space is finished off with differing tones of yellow and red for a subtle bright look that has a playful look and feel in the small space.

This is a great example of a small bedroom that benefits from the selection of a lighter shade, as a darker paint color would make the room appear even smaller.

A subtle industrial chic grey bedroom with a stark contrast

The soft grey tone on the wall in this bedroom interior is complemented by a mix of delicate textiles in white, beige, and red tones and a fluffy area rug at the foot of the bed. The black wall lamps, black-framed mirror, and black side table, however, add a lot of contrast to this setting, giving it a subtle industrial vibe.

The white fabric pendant lamp fits perfectly in the space and attracts the eye to the white molding underneath the ceiling.

A warm grey bedroom with a tone-on-tone wardrobe

This is one of my favorite warm grey bedroom ideas, as the warm grey serves as the perfect blank canvas for the carefully selected elements in this neutral room design that looks like it was done by an interior designer.

The shades of grey on both the wall and the wardrobe match, resulting in an integrated look. The wardrobe doesn’t continue all the way up to the ceiling, allowing the white molding to be more noticeable.

The wall-to-wall curtains add extra elegance to this beautiful space, and the black wall lamp adds clean accent lines above the bed.

Shades of grey and blue tones on the wing doors

A white and grey colour scheme is perfect when you want to achieve a fresh and cool look without a lot of colors. Neutral shades of grey are easy to pair up with any accent color if you do want to introduce them though.

In this particular grey bedroom idea, I love the modest palette of the bedroom itself, highlighting the white bedding, paired up with the blue in the beautiful wing doors. The blue in the doors also makes a slight blue undertone appear in the wall color, which shows the effect interior elements can have on how the paint color is perceived.

A semi-dark grey paint combined with a gallery wall

This must be the most dramatic grey bedroom idea on the list. The darker greys in the bedroom form the perfect backdrop for the picture frames on the wall which add personality to the space.

The sheer beige curtains warm up the light coming from the window and the black wall lamps add a lovely touch of contrast to the grey bedroom. The white antique fireplace in the corner is a true masterpiece that has become more apparent because of the selection of a darker grey paint color.

A subtle colour scheme on top of a light grey color

The natural light flowing through those beautiful historic windows bounces back beautifully on the soft grey wall color in this bedroom. Pair grey with a warm colour theme like the wood bed frame and the nude pink tones in the bedding of this bedroom to achieve an even softer appearance.

The black wall lamp and the black frame stand out in this warm palette and make the look more powerful.

A grey bedroom idea combined with dramatic shades in the accessories

This grey space doesn’t seem to get a lot of natural light, which is why the light grey color on the wall appears a lot darker. The black throw pillows, dark grey blanket, black bedside tables, and the back tones in the art prints add even more contrast to his dramatic look.

A deep grey with warm undertones for a restful space

This warm grey bedroom idea features a darker shade of grey with a warm undertone for a rich palette from which the white bedside tables and linen bed frame jump out.

Deeper greys, mid greys, or warmer greys typically provide your sleeping space with a richer base palette, especially when combined with warm greys, beiges, and red tones in the finishings.

The striped blanket on the bed finishes this look off perfectly and I love the way the grey stripes are the same as the color on the wall.

How to select a grey shade for bedroom interiors

To achieve the grey bedroom ideas in the list, it is crucial to select the right shade for your bedroom space rather than looking for the exact match seen in the pictures.

Cool greys with blue undertones tend to work well in south-facing rooms with warmer daylight, while a neutral shade or warmer undertone works better in north-facing rooms that get colder light.

Lighter shades tend to work best in smaller or low-lit rooms, while you can achieve a more dramatic effect with a darker color.

Try out a sample of the shade of grey in combination with your bedroom furniture and look at it multiple times a day so you can see the effect the different types of daylight can have on the paint color.

If you don’t want to commit to painting your entire room grey, you can always go for a feature wall or paint the part above a paneled wall grey for a more subtle effect.
