Rules for using gray in the bedroom
- The color can be combined with any others, but it is important to maintain proportions. An unregulated ratio will create an uncomfortable environment.
- When choosing a shade of gray for the walls, the area of the bedroom, its architectural features, the size of the windows and the degree of illumination are taken into account. The more light and space, the darker the walls can be.
- Small rooms can be made in gray tones if you use only light variations and color combinations with white and beige.
- When choosing other colors for the bedroom palette, you need to take into account their saturation. If the gray is stronger, other colors will simply fade and will not perform their functions.
It is recommended to initially check the compatibility of all selected tones. Despite the neutrality of gray, it quickly changes its properties depending on the environment. The background will become dark and unpleasant if all the recommendations are not taken into account, and even a white ceiling will not save it.

Bedroom interior in gray tones: basic color combinations
Gray and black
This option is most often used in high-tech style. The bedroom is characterized by luxury, severity and style. Using white as an additional color allows you to create contrast and add a little freshness to the interior.
Gray and white
Gray itself is a cold color, but white makes it lighter and warmer. In such a bedroom, it is recommended to use fresh flowers and bright accessories, pillows and a gray bedspread, and rich lighting. The style is closer to minimalism, without unnecessary and non-functional furniture.
Gray and pink
A stylish and winning combination for the bedroom, which has long become a classic. The atmosphere is gentle and romantic; the use of drawings, paintings, and patterns on the walls creates harmony. The use of pink accessories is mandatory, as you need to highlight it against the gray background.
Gray and green
Green color was initially used as a calm, flowing interior solution. This natural shade is perfect for softening gray and creating a peaceful atmosphere. The palette of green does not matter, nor does its quantity, but most often it is used for details and furniture, and gray remains the background.
Gray and blue
The blue color is deep and noble, despite its richness and some coldness. It goes well with gray if gray shades are used. Blue is used for details, accents, and contrast.
Popular shades and color combinations
Those people who consider gray color simple and trivial are deeply mistaken. He has quite a lot of potential. Give it a secondary role and it will enhance the effect of a different tone.
This season, the fashion trend is the combination of gray and red. It is perceived quite calmly, since the restraint of the first compensates for the insolence of the second.
In addition, it can be used to adjust the layout. For example, by keeping the far wall in red, you can achieve a visual expansion of a narrow room.
The photo of the gray hallway shows that this color can be presented in the following shades:
- platinum;
- wet asphalt;
- nickel;
- gray;
- charcoal.
A light gray hallway will seem filled with light and freshness, especially if you add several bright accessories in green or blue to the interior. Platinum, pearl, silver and aluminum tones will visually enlarge the space and add elegance to the decor.
Dark shades should be used very carefully - they are quite insidious. It is better to put them in second roles.
Experts love the gray palette for its neutrality. It harmonizes with any spectrum. But most often, when developing the design of a gray hallway, colors such as:
- blue;
- pink;
- green;
- blue;
- lilac;
- beige.

Interior details in gray tones
Furniture
The neutral color is complemented by bulky furniture with luxury elements, antique fittings and carved legs. Wood that preserves its natural structure, chocolate and coffee shades look great in the interior. Gray furniture is chosen darker than the walls and floor to create a noble contrast.
Window
To use gray, windows must be large and light, without blinds. Often curtains and curtains are not used to highlight the beauty of glazing. But if you choose window textiles, then it should match the main shade and not take on accents, remaining neutral. The lighter and more natural the material, the better.
Walls
Different materials are chosen for finishing, but most often preference is given to wallpaper without a pattern. Patterns and drawings for decoration, as well as decorative plaster, are applied to one wall of the bedroom, most often near the bed. When choosing paint for the general background, only matte options are used, while glossy ones are suitable for highlighting certain details. In addition, gloss visually increases the area of the room.
Gray color is aristocratic and brings aesthetics to the interior, regardless of the overall style. It allows you to apply deep shades, and, at the same time, smooths out all the corners in complex color combinations. Thanks to its neutrality, gray will always be appropriate, so don’t be afraid to experiment.

Types of gray sofas
The choice of sofa depends on what you need it for. Maybe guests will only occasionally sit on it, or maybe you will sleep on it. It is important whether there is enough space for it in the apartment. If the area is small, but you are going to sleep on it, then folding models are suitable for you.
- "Accordion".
As you might guess, the mechanism by which such a sofa is folded out resembles an accordion. When folded, this piece of furniture takes up very little space, but it can unfold so that it can pass for a double bed. The lower part should be made of especially strong wood (you can ask the seller if this is so), since it takes a lot of stress when unfolding and folding.
- "Dolphin".
- "Eurobook".
This model unfolds and folds very quickly, creating a flat place to sleep.
- "Book".
- "Click-clack."
In this model, a spring connects the vertical and horizontal parts of the furniture. If you move the back closer to you, the sofa folds out. True, it is not very even: there is a depression in the middle.
When choosing such a model, it is better to make sure in the store that when unfolded, this purchase will not take up your entire room. The folded and unfolded dimensions must also be indicated in the documents. As a rule, when folded, such sofas are very compact. Two or three people can sit on them. Sometimes there is also a drawer for linen. However, when unfolded, it may take up too much space.
If you are interested in a gray corner sofa in the interior, then do not forget that they are different (right, left, universal, designed for 4, 5, 6 people). A corner sofa is more difficult to choose because it needs to fit perfectly into your room. It’s better to take a room plan with exact dimensions with you to the store.
A gray sofa in the interior of a small living room is a great option. The main thing is to remember that such furniture is regularly used, so the upholstery should be made of durable material: leather, flock or jacquard.
