Design of a bedroom with gray wallpaper: 70 best photos in the interior

Grey colour - This is an "intermediate" option between black and white. White color is formed if the entire spectrum of visible light is reflected from the surface. Black - if the spectrum is completely absorbed. Obviously, in gray these two poles are connected, which leaves an imprint on its perception.

This is a "moderate" color, contributing to the creation of a calm, balanced atmosphere. It is completely neutral, which means that colored details can easily give the bedroom interior the right mood, which is easy to change by changing, for example, textile elements.

Tip: When planning a bedroom repair, immediately determine what furniture you are going to use. Depending on its color, choose light or dark shades of gray for wallpaper.

On gray wallpaper can be drawings of different colors and sizes. Do not forget about the general rules of design:

• A large contrasting wallpaper pattern will make the small room even smaller;
• Wall murals in gray tones can visually reduce the size of the bedroom;
• Light colors of wallpaper will help to visually expand the room;
• The combination of light and dark shades can help correct the room’s imperfections - visually “raise” the ceiling (gradient transition from dark tones on the floor to light tones on the ceiling), expand a narrow wall (highlighting it with a lighter tone).

What style is suitable for designing a bedroom with gray wallpaper?

Gray color can be used in any style, from classic to minimalism. There are no restrictions. Here the same laws apply as in other cases - light tones expand the room, dark tones narrow. Different styles choose different color combinations. For example, pastel shades added to light gray are good in Provence style, creamy and beige tones in classic, and bright or even acidic colors in art deco and modern.

• Classic. The combination of light and dark gray shades, complemented by white - both “cold” and “warm”, is suitable for all classical styles without exception. Wallpaper with monogram patterns and stripes is also suitable.
• Shabby chic. Wallpaper in gray tones in combination with pastel pink and blue - the basis of this fashionable style.
• Pop Art.Gray color as the basis is preferred for pop art style, as it serves as a softening element for contrasting and sharp combinations.
• Scandinavian style. In this style, cool gray shades are very appropriate - they bring solidity and consistency to the bedroom decor, serve as a unifying tone, bringing together individual elements of the interior.
• Minimalism. In this style, light gray can be the main tone, for example, it is appropriate in the bedrooms facing the south side, since white in this case can be too sharp and bright.

Shades and combinations of gray in the bedroom interior

Depending on the saturation, gray color may look different. In addition, other shades can be added to the basic gray color, and ash-gray, “dusty rose”, silver color, the color of dry or wet stone, the color of a stormy sky or the color of nacre can be obtained. Such a rich palette creates the prerequisites for creating monochrome interiors.

For example, with dark gray wallpaper in the bedroom, you can highlight the wall at the head of the bed or in the corner for relaxation, and with lighter ones you can paste over the remaining walls.You can also highlight a section of the wall with wallpaper with a pattern of a more saturated gray color.

Light shades of gray with the addition of warm tones (beige, creamy) will help create a more “warm” bedroom interior. In the event that the room faces south, it is appropriate to add blue or blue tones to the gray in order to “cool” the situation a bit.

In addition to monochrome design options, combinations of gray wallpapers in the bedroom interior with other colors and shades are also possible. When working with color, you should adhere to the following principles:

• Partner colors should belong to the same temperature range, be either “cold” or “warm”.
• In the event that you use saturated gray as the basis, add light, pastel colors to it, thereby balancing the interior.
• If a light gray tone is chosen as the main one, it can be supplemented with bright, contrasting colors.

The combination of gray with other colors:

• White. The classic combination is white and gray, complemented by black accents. Depending on the ratio of these colors, the interior may be calmer or sharper. Most often used in modern styles.
• Blue. Paired with gray forms a "cool" atmosphere, suitable for the southern bedroom. Can be used in marine, classic, Scandinavian and other styles.
• Pink. The combination of pink and gray is one of the most interesting and rich in opportunities. This is due to the fact that pink has a huge variety of shades - from a gentle apple color to a juicy fuchsia tone. Both pink and gray can be used in varying degrees of saturation. Together, both of these factors lead to the creation of an infinite number of options for using this combination. Light gray wallpaper in the bedroom, combined with light pink additions, have become the mainstream of such popular styles as Provence and shabby chic.
• Yellow. Suitable for bedrooms with windows to the north, as it creates a sunny, joyful atmosphere. Depending on the tone and saturation of yellow can be used in different styles - from classic to country.
• Brown. It is most often used together with yellow or green, forming a harmonious combination, most in demand in eco-style bedrooms, as well as country.

Curtains for the bedroom with gray wallpaper

At choosing curtains for the bedroom with gray wallpaper you can use the following options:

• plain,
• contrasting
• neutral.

The first option is preferable for monochrome interiors of bedrooms, and also if there is a need to "dissolve" the window, hide it in space. This is done in cases where the window is small or non-standard and at the same time not too good shape.

The second option allows you to create a bright interior in the bedroom. In this case, the curtains can be selected either to the wallpaper on the accent wall, or to the tone of other textile elements (bedspread, decorative pillows, upholstered furniture), or to the tone of the furniture. This technique is often used in modern interior styles.

The third option allows you to create a gentle, romantic atmosphere, using, for example, pastel colors.
