Striking black and grey bedroom ideas

1. Create a dark and cosy sanctuary 

In this brooding boudoir, everything has been pared-back to the simple essentials. Opt for a dark, almost black paint like Black Mica for your bedroom walls, carrying it on to the ceiling for optimum impact. Create contrast with an elegant pale grey paint like French Silver on woodwork and alcoves, then add natural wooden accents for warmth.

Add minimalist furniture and soften the look with linen bedding in warmer shades of grey. Add texture with a waffle throw and velvet cushions for a simple and serene style.

2. Experiment with a stripey statement wall with added accent colours

For a black and grey bedroom idea with a playful and unique twist, turn to stripes. Start by painting black horizontal stripes of varying thickness in a paint like Idaman Grey, then fill in the gaps with soft pastel accent colour like a mint green, a subtle lilac and a soft sky blue.

Keep the rest of your black and grey bedroom décor grown up, with good quality grey bed linen, a luxurious bedspread, and minimalist furniture for the perfect balance between sophisticated and fun.

3. Keep it sophisticated with two-tone panelling

Nothing says opulence like wood-panelled walls, especially when they’re painted in deep and seductive shades of grey. Give you room added depth with a split-wall effect, opting for complementary shades like Smoke Pearl and Black Sable. In this room, Tranquil Dawn has been used in the window alcove for subtle contrast and to add a sense of lightness to the otherwise-moody black and grey bedroom walls.

Add black accents with your furniture, a tall candlestick for an extra layer of drama, and bedding in shades of grey for a sense of flow.`

4. Add a sense of adventure with a fun feature wall
