Grey bedroom ideas

1 min read

When it comes to interiors, grey is arguably the new magnolia. In all its shades, grey has dominated home décor in recent years and its popularity shows no signs of slowing. From soft, delicate pastel greys to warm, red or yellow tinged tones and dramatic dark greys, this timeless neutral has become a design staple. None more so than in bedrooms, where grey colour schemes are a firm Instagram favourite.

The key to grey's enduring success is its sheer versatility, as it suits every style of room and can feel fresh and clean, but also cosy and comforting, depending on how its applied. It complements other neutrals brilliantly, but also provides the perfect backdrop to a pop of colour.

With this in mind, we've compiled a collection of the best grey bedroom ideas, featuring the gorgeous bedrooms of some of our favourite influencers.
