12 Grey Bedroom Ideas To Give Your Space A Minimalist Upgrade

Adding a grey throw is the ultimate way to create a cosy, hygge atmosphere with minimal effort. The White Company does neutral throws particularly well - opt for faux fur for a snug vibe, or keep things pared back with their cashmere blanket.

Charcoal grey is an easy way to add a dramatic statement to your bedroom, while also creating a warm and cocooning feel. This bed from Soho Home is perfect for sinking into during the winter months. By combining it with white sheets, you create a lighter take on the classic monochrome colour scheme that will compliment any room.

Grey lighting is popular because it's fresh, sophisticated and works as a neutral backdrop for all types of decor. For an industrial effect, you can't go wrong with concrete and this John Lewis table lamp is a clear winner.

Opt for space-saving solutions in shades of grey to add a stylish edge to your home. We love this ladder shelving unit from Marks and Spencer, which features wooden shelves and grey metal framework.

According to Dulux, dark shades of grey can make a room feel snug, while light shades will make a room feel more airy and cool. Deeper and dramatic shades of grey create modern looks, with glass and metal accessories giving an industrial edge. For something in between, we love the shade Engraved Locket, which coordinates with blues and neutrals.

Vases are great ways to build up grey tones and textures in your room without going overboard. This cement vase by Abigail Ahern is a game changer for your interiors. Its natural grey hues and subtle textured pattern bring a super cool rustic vibe to a surface, especially when paired with some colourful botanicals.

Furniture is one of the easiest ways to add grey to a room. For classic country house styling for good value prices, this Dunelm chest of drawers ticks every box. Combine the chest with grey bed side tables and other furniture for a coordinated look.

Experimenting with patterns, such as a chequered or herringbone print, can add personality and liveliness to a grey bedroom. Or, try combining grey wallpaper with bright colours like pink, yellow and blue.

For a more subtle take on the trend, choose very pale shades of grey, which are a softer alternative to white’s starker tendencies. To create gentle depth in a room, combine different shades of grey on the walls and the headboard.

Texture is key when it comes to a neutral colour palette, and a rug is one of the easiest ways to add it. Faux fur, like this one from Dunelm, works well with silk and velvet for a sumptuous aesthetic, while boucle adds warmth without adding too much colour.

We all know there's no better feeling than sinking into a pair of clean, fresh sheets. Plus, neutral colours are a match made in heaven. But if you're tired of white, grey bedding is a great alternative. Choose linen fabric, like this set from Nkuku, for your softest night's slumber yet.

Mirrors are miracle workers when it comes to interiors. They create the illusion of space, add a focal point and bounce light around a room. A grey minimalist mirror incorporates all these factors to subtly compliment any space.
