Bedroom design with gray wallpaper: 70 best photos in the interior

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

It is a "moderate" color that helps to create a calm, balanced atmosphere. It is completely neutral, which means that colored details can easily give the interior of a bedroom the desired mood, which can be easily changed by changing, for example, textile elements.

Advice: When planning a bedroom renovation, immediately decide what kind of furniture you are going to use. Choose light or dark shades of gray for your wallpaper, depending on its color.

Gray wallpaper can have designs in different colors and sizes. Don't forget the general design rules:

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

What style is right for a gray wallpaper bedroom design?

Gray can be used in any style, from classic to minimalism. There are no restrictions. The same laws apply here as in other cases - light tones expand the room, dark ones narrow it. Different color combinations are chosen in different styles. For example, pastel shades added to light gray are good in Provence style, creamy and beige tones - in classics, 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, without exception, classic styles. Wallpaper with monogram patterns and striped patterns is also suitable.
• Shabby chic. Wallpaper in gray tones combined with pastel pink and blue is the basis of this trendy style.
• Pop Art.Gray as a base is preferred for pop art, as it serves as a softening element for contrasting and harsh combinations.
• Scandinavian style. In this style, cool gray shades are very appropriate - they bring solidity and consistency to the bedroom atmosphere, serve as a unifying tone, bringing together individual interior elements.
• Minimalism. In this style, light gray can be the main tone, for example, it is appropriate in south-facing bedrooms, as white in this case can be too harsh and bright.

Shades and combinations of gray in the interior of the bedroom

Gray color can look different depending on saturation.In addition, other shades can be added to the main gray color, and you can get an ash-gray, "dusty rose", a silver color, a dry or wet stone color, a stormy sky color or a mother-of-pearl color. 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 resting corner, and with lighter ones, you can paste over the rest of the 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, cream) will help create a "warmer" 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 down" the atmosphere a little.

In addition to monochrome design options, combinations of gray wallpaper 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 must belong to the same temperature range, be either "cold" or "warm".
• In the event that you are using rich gray as a base, add light, pastel colors to it, thereby balancing the interior.
• If a light gray tone is selected as the main one, it can be supplemented with bright, contrasting colors.

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 can be calmer or sharper. Most often used in modern styles.
• Blue... Paired with gray it creates a "cool" atmosphere, suitable for a southern bedroom. Can be used in nautical, classic, Scandinavian and other styles.
• Pink. The combination of pink and gray is one of the most interesting and rich in possibilities. This is due to the fact that pink has a huge variety of shades - from delicate apple blossom to juicy fuchsia. Both pink and gray can be used in varying degrees of saturation. Together, both of these factors lead to the fact that an infinite number of uses for this combination is created. Light gray wallpaper in the bedroom, combined with light pink additions, has become the mainstay of such popular styles as Provence and shabby chic today.
• Yellow... Suitable for north-facing bedrooms as it creates a sunny, joyful atmosphere. Depending on the tone and saturation of yellow, it 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 demanded in eco-style bedrooms, as well as country.

Curtains for the bedroom with gray wallpaper

When 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, as well as in the event that 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 very good shape.

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

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