Most people assume grey will be depressing and boring, so you might be surprised at how this neutral colour can create soothing and elegant interiors for the bedroom. Here are 15 designs that show how this chameleon hue can weave subtle magic and set up a serene ambience.

This predominantly grey bedroom gets a hint of warmth from woody brown furniture. The four-poster bed, white canopy drapes and vintage carpet are juxtaposed with the modern grey floor tiles and walls to create a soothing ambience. Coupled with a dash of colour from the painting, this room exudes a relaxing, laid-back atmosphere.

Dark tones of grey are a dramatic choice for the bedroom, but it can be serene and beautiful, too. The contrasting white ceiling, soothing blues and greens of the bedding and the lavish lighting create a tranquil ambience. The uncluttered and clean wall colour gives the room a spacious vibe.

The grey wall behind the bed doubles as a canvas to highlight a large floral painting, creating a dramatic feature wall. Muted shades of pink and green in the mural work beautifully against the textured grey and set up a cohesive colour scheme.

Along with the planks on the floor, grey blinds add subtle depths of the shade, making the overall look of the space dreamy and restful. The bedding, map and pouffe all play with greys, giving additional richness to a calm colour palette for a relaxing bedroom retreat.

Layers of grey give this bedroom a classy and timeless appeal. A darker shade of grey softly blends into a lighter tone, giving interest, depth and fun to a plain wall. The curtains and side table show that layered grey need not be boring.

An exposed brick wall painted in cool grey forms this perfect backdrop for the modern four-poster bed. The rough texture of the accent wall beautifully contrasts with the smooth wooden floor and steals the show despite its muted tone.

This Scandinavian-inspired bedroom dons shades of grey and white for a modern, young feel. I love how the industrial-style unfinished grey wall with a bicycle motif brings oodles of character to the space. Even though grey is used uniformly across the room, pops of colour and texture soften the industrial look.
