Grey bedrooms are making a huge comeback in the design world. This so-called boring color that used to be quickly discarded is now the belle of the ball. Contemporary designers have played up this color with everything from bright reds to neutral creams, and every look works beautifully.
This makes grey a great choice for showcasing your personal style in your bedroom. This is your space, your private retreat. It should definitely be a reflection of you!
Going for a color that's as versatile as grey is will save you a lot of time, effort, and money in the long run. Use linens and decor accents to add your personality to the room, or if you can't resist the bright wall color, use grey to tone it down and bring a relaxed, comfortable feel to your room.
