A dark grey bedroom can make your interior unique, characterful, and maybe a bit moody, yet you can be sure this wall color will set your room design apart. It’s a color choice that typically works well in larger bedrooms that receive a lot of daylight, yet there are some exceptions to this in the list below.

If you are thinking about giving your bedroom a lick of paint, make sure to take a look at the dark grey bedroom ideas in this list. Pair your grey walls up with shades of grey in the accessories for a tone-on-tone look or shake it up and work with warm or cool tones to make it more interesting.

If you want to play it a bit safer, yet still like the idea of grey bedroom walls, have a look at the most inspiring light grey bedroom ideas in this post as well.

Charcoal grey bedroom walls contrast with white elements for a beautiful contrast

You will notice that the darkest grey bedroom ideas on the list are usually on the larger side, or have an abundance of natural light coming in through the windows. The deep charcoal grey walls in this bedroom contrast nicely with the white plank wood flooring and the white ceiling, which is a contrast that is accentuated even more with the addition of the big white rice paper pendant in the middle of the room.

The light pastel grey tones in the bedding soften out this contrasting look, while the black tables next to the bed sort of blend in with the dark wall color.

The grey paint in this master bedroom has a greenish hue, which is more apparent depending on the direction from which you look at the walls. The black headboard combined with the black wall lamps adds a darker tone to the setting, which is brightened up by the white flooring and white ceiling.

The white, beige, and grey bedding on the bed adds a soft warm touch to the setting and finishes off the look nicely.

Warm shades in the accessories stand out from these impressive charcoal walls

This is one of the moodiest grey bedroom ideas on the list, as even the window frames, floorboards, and heater have been painted in the same dark grey color.

The custom headboard behind the bed is painted in the same color as the walls as well, which makes the warm beiges, pinks, whites, and other neutrals in the accessories stand out in a very powerful way.

A very dark grey bedroom results in a unique, moody look

This is one of the more moody grey bedroom ideas, as the walls are almost black, which makes the white ceiling and the sheer white curtains stand out in a very powerful way. The antique bird print stands out perfectly against the dark backdrop of the grey bedroom walls, while the mixture of white, burgundy, and grey shades on the bed softens out the palette a bit.

Cool greys paired up with warm yellow textiles

This darker shade of grey paint has blue undertones, which look more blue depending on the direction the light hits the wall.

Cool greys tend to pair up nicely with warmer tones in the accessories and soft furnishings, which is the case in this beautiful bedroom example. The yellow tones in the bedding bring out the blue in the paint and make the room feel inviting.

The gingham pattern in the bedsheets and the antique bird print add a rustic feel to the otherwise modern appearance caused by this cool and dark wall color.

A mid-grey bedroom with warm elements

This master bedroom is painted in a medium grey on the four walls, paired up with warm greys in the curtains, and white on the ceiling and floor.

Mid greys tend to give a bedroom a soft look, especially when combined with natural shades in the accessories as is the case here. The beiges in the bedding and the small artwork above the bed bring out the warm undertones in the paint color. The antique bedside tables, the rattan heater cover, and the black wall lamps really stand out against the soft backdrop of the grey walls.

White walls combined with a mid-grey feature wall

Rather than working with four grey walls like in the rest of the grey bedroom ideas on the list, you can approach the design of your bedroom more modestly. To achieve a more subtle effect, ,you can add a grey feature wall and keep the rest of the walls white.

In this bedroom, only the wall above the bed is painted grey, which is paired up with a mixture of white and grey bedding and grey tones in the art print on the wall.

A moody grey bedroom enhanced with velvet fabrics

The subtle warm undertone un the paint color in this moody grey bedroom is accentuated by a selection of warm textiles in the space. The olive green velvet headboard, the rattan bench behind the bed, and the beige velvet curtains covering the wardrobe add a beautiful texture to this grey bedroom.

Warmer greys tend to work great in a north-facing room, which typically receives cooler daylight. This is true for other spaces like living rooms or kitchens as well.

A cool grey bedroom with blue tones in the bedding

Cool-toned greys tend to work better in rooms that receive warmer daylight. This cool grey bedroom has been enhanced by dark blue bedding and a mixture of beige and warm textiles for an interesting effect around the bed.

Grey bedroom walls accentuate an impressive ceiling pattern

Dark grey bedroom walls combined with contrasting white elements

This grey bedroom has a lot of contrast between the dark grey walls, the white wardrobe doors, the white trim underneath the ceiling, and the crisp white bedding on the bed. The window is decorated with dark grey heavy curtains to make it look even more dramatic.

The black home office shelf next to the window blends into the wall, while the red accessories and the blue artwork above the bed add some interesting focal points throughout the grey bedroom.

A tiny dark grey bedroom with dark grey bedding

The abundance of natural light coming through the large window that spreads over the entire wall in this small bedroom is balanced out by a deeper grey wall color. The grey scheme is continued in the deeper greys on the bedding and the black lamp seems to almost blend into its background.

The dark grey wall color forms a sophisticated backdrop for the perfectly selected artwork in neutral shades on the gallery wall above the bed, which adds a lot of character to the setting.

The right grey wall color can create a cozy and enveloping feel, which you can then enhance with a selection of the right complementary colors. The tactile fabrics and soft furnishings in a neutral shade with warm elements add coziness to this spacious bedroom painted with the right shade of dark grey with a subtle warm undertone.

The dark grey bedroom walls are sandwiched between the bright white crown molding underneath the ceiling and the white floorboards that sit on top of the warm hardwood flooring.

A dark soft grey in a small space with an angled wall

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.

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.

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.

Blue is a perfect color choice for a bedroom, as it has a calming effect which is exactly what you need in a space where you mainly go to get a good rest. The color blue comes in a variety of shades and tones and the paint color you should pick depends on the size of the room and the color of the natural light hitting the space.

When you have a large bedroom you can opt to paint your walls blue with a dark shade, while smaller spaces might benefit from a lighter blue paint color.

Below you can find a list of the most beautiful blue bedroom ideas, carefully selected by me. The list includes a variety of bedroom ideas with blue walls in different tints, and tones and combined with different materials in the textiles, art pieces, and furniture pieces.

A muted dark blue combined with white textiles and a gallery wall above the bed

This bedroom features a subtle muted, yet dark tone of blue, which contrasts nicely with the sheer white linen curtains and the light hardwood flooring. The mixture of white and beige bedding softens out the cold blue of the walls and the gallery wall above the bed adds even more character and personality to this space.

Apart from the white tones in the textiles and the art prints popping out against the wall color, the light grey Flowerpot bedside lamps and the white Flos Gatto lamp get a lot of attention against this dark wall color as well.

The blue bedroom walls in this asymmetric space have green undertones, which pair up nicely with the beige and orange tones in the textiles and furniture pieces.

The white wardrobe matches the white crown molding on the ceiling and the white on the door and window frames for a classy look. Next to the wing doors, a small yet smart home office finds its place, featuring warm wood tones that contrast nicely with the cool tones in the paint color.

via Alvhem

A muted blue bedroom with blue doors

A muted blue has been used here on all the walls and one of the doors for a cohesive look. The moldings and the other door are kept white for contrast and the blue of the walls comes back in the accessories all over the room.

The rich tones of the art print above the bed both complement and contrast the blue walls at the same time and the lighter tones in the bedding and headboard bring balance to this calm look.

via Alvhem

A light blue bedroom combined with beige accent pieces

So far, the blue bedroom ideas in this list were all a bit on the darker side, but you can have a very calming effect with light blue walls as well. This light blue bedroom has a fresh look that has a spacious appearance because of the relatively light wall color.

The white accents in the linen bedding, side table, bentwood chair, ricepaper shade, and area rug enhance the light and fresh look the light blue walls create, while the beige in the art print and the other soft furnishings add a warm touch to the space.

via Stadshem

A rich dark blue accent wall

This all-white bedroom features a rich, dark feature blue wall, which creates a beautiful contrast in the space. When you look closely enough, you can see the wall is actually a blue wallpaper or existing wallpaper that has been painted over.

The crisp white linen sheets enhance the contrast in the room even more, while the vintage chairs next to the bed add a lot of character. The black Gubi Bestlite BL6 Wall Lamps finish the look off perfectly and add a lot of dimension above the bed.

A dark teal blue bedroom with beige textiles

I think this is one of the most perfectly balanced blue bedroom ideas you can find. The dark teal wall color brings out the beautiful white trim on the ceiling and the white window frames, while the warm tones in the decorative pillows and the linen curtains warm up the cool tones of the blue bedroom walls.

The camel bedsheets and the beige tones add the final touch to this balanced color scheme and the simple black wall lights add a lovely contrast above the bed.

Pale navy blue paired up with light textiles

The dark, muted navy blue bedroom walls highlight the beautiful crown molding on the ceiling and the overall look of the space has been brightened up with the sheer white linen curtains and the light grey fabric headboard.

The walls in blue pair up perfectly with the warm wood tones in the small furniture pieces and the hardwood flooring. The mixture of white bedding and beige textiles works wonderfully in this space and the single striped throw pillow becomes a subtle eye-catcher on the bed.

A greyish-blue bedroom on a small surface

When you are required to work on a small surface, sometimes you need a bit of a darker color anyways to bring more character to the bedroom scheme. Depending on how the light hits the wall color, this might be more of a grey, yet it’s definitely a grey with cool undertones, which is why this bedroom found its place in the list of blue bedroom ideas.

The small wardrobe has been painted in the same color as the walls, which can be such an upgrade from white furniture pieces when you want to go for an integrated look and feel.

A light blue ceiling in a white bedroom

This might be one of the most uncommon blue bedroom ideas on the list, yet the blue on the ceiling has such an impactful effect on the space. The blue ceiling mimics a blue sky, which gives the otherwise modest interior design a playful touch.

To work with a darker-colored ceiling as your walls, it’s essential that your room has relatively high ceilings so that the space doesn’t feel too cramped. You could even work with a blue wallpapered ceiling to attract even more attention to the height of the room and just like in this example, a beautiful pendant light will finish off the look perfectly.

A deep color blue on walls, windows, and doorframes

This is one of the blue bedroom ideas that have the moodiest effect in the room. Not only did the interior designer select a very dark tone of blue, the entire space including the window and door frames and headboard is painted in the same beautiful blue paint color for a very impressive effect.

The light artwork above the bed, the white ceiling, and the beige bedsheets really stand out against the dark color scheme on the walls and the wing doors that lead up to the bedroom are kept white, which makes it look like they ‘frame’ the dark color palette of the small bedroom.

Grey walls combined with blue curtains and blue decorative pillows

While so far in this list, we’ve seen many blue bedroom ideas with deep blue walls brightened up with lighter elements, a more dramatic look has been achieved in this bedroom, which has a dark color scheme overall.

By using dark blue curtains combined with blue-grey textiles on the bed, a tone-on-tone color scheme is created, which has been contrasted with the beautiful black Mantis BS5 wall lamp to finish off this dramatic look.

The navy blue wall color in this bedroom highlights the white trim, white floorboards, and white ceiling in the space in an elegant way, enhanced by the soft beige curtains that warm up the daylight coming through the white windows.

The white bedding is matched by a white area rug and the throw pillows in muted colors add a tranquil vibe to the space. The blue bedroom walls are enhanced by gold wall lamps and blue accents in the XL art print above the bed.

The home office spot adds a natural element to the space matched by the peg rail on the wall, which complement the warm tones in the hardwood flooring in a lovely way.

A muted royal blue accent wall in an all-white bedroom

An accent wall can be a great solution if you want to make sure your blue bedroom doesn’t become too dark. In this space, the contrast between the blue and white walls has been balanced out by including vintage furniture pieces in warm wood tones.

The beautiful white crown molding on the ceiling stands out against the blue bedroom wall and this effect has been carried over in the selection of the wardrobe as well, which matches the classy white look of the historic architectural details of the space.

Blue hues combined with warm tones for a characterful effect

I think this bedroom has so many interesting elements. The vintage shelf combined with the vintage mirror looks amazing, yet comes to life even better because of the deep blue wall color. The bed itself has been made with warm-colored textiles and the walls around the window have been kept white to accentuate the bright daylight coming in.

Fresh blue walls combined with white textiles

This blue bedroom has a very fresh tone of light blue on the walls, which has a wonderful effect on this smaller bedroom space. The off-white linen curtains go wall-to-wall and frame the window in a nice way.

A navy blue backdrop

The deep blue accent wall in this bedroom design has been used to accentuate the beautiful old built-in wardrobes next to the window. The contrast between the white and blue paint helps to visually understand the uncommon layout of the room and this contrast has been enhanced by using white wall lamps, bedside tables, and bedsheets.

The white art print and the wall lamps seem to jump out against the dark blue, which is the perfect backdrop for the white bedding and furnishings in this bedroom design.

This bedroom design has a perfect balance between the blue on the wall, the white bedsheets, the paper shade lamp, and the green plants in both the window and on the floor.

A blue wardrobe built around the bed

While most of the blue bedroom ideas on my list include blue walls, in this example, the custom wardrobe solution is the source of blue color in the interior design.

The muted blue wardrobe has been custom-built around the bed for an impressive look in this all-white bedroom.

Pale dark blue and calming shades of beige in a guestroom and home office

If blue is too daring for your primary bedroom, it might be a perfect color choice for your guest bedroom instead. A perfect balance has been achieved between the wall color, furniture pieces, and accessories in this bedroom.

I love the way the warm wood of the little desk, the warm textiles of the lounge chair, and the warm elements in the art prints above the bed are the red thread in this interior, which comes to life because of the deep blue backdrop the wall color provides.
