What better way to highlight your beautiful bedroom furniture than with a neutral color palette of gray tones that create a tranquil space. Silvery gray provides a sophisticated elegance with an appeal that will stand the test of time. The important thing is to use enough of a mix of hues, textures and decorative elements to add interest to the monochromatic color scheme. Special touches like a tufted headboard, bedding made of lustrous satin and stylish cheval mirrors can bring Hollywood-style glamour to your bedroom.
Natural fabrics and textures will enhance the look of a gray bedroom, as well as views of outdoor greenery. While a gray color palette lends itself to silver, smoky blue, charcoal black and stark white, you can add strategically placed brightly colored accents for high visual impact. Do not be afraid to experiment with splashes of color in the rug, bedspread or draperies.
- The Calming Look of a Monochromatic Room: Using tone on tone in shades of gray is ideal for a soothing bedroom, from dove gray to deep charcoal. This look makes a trendy fashion statement for modern bedrooms.
- Polished Perfection: Touches of sliver, mirror and high gloss finishes add drama to a gray themed room. Highlight gray walls with detailed bright white moldings, black rugs and accent furniture such as beautifully designed chairs and armoires.
- A Pop of Color: Offset a bedroom with gray walls and white or black furniture with a surprising dash of color. Any personal color favorite can harmonize with the neutral grays and add excitement to a neutral gray room. Try including reds, corals and yellows for a dramatic effect.
- Balancing Act: Balance the cool hues of a gray color spectrum with warmer neutral colors and textures. Sisal rugs, cane chairs and textured upholstery on accent chairs can soften a gray bedroom and with interesting and dramatic elements.
- Invite the Outside In: A neutral gray bedroom is ideal for locations with lush outdoor gardens and natural greenery. Using a window as a focal point in the room, your quiet color palette and high-style bedroom furniture becomes the perfect foil for a lovely view.
