Black and Grey Bedroom Ideas

Black and grey is a popular color scheme for modern bedrooms. Since these colors come in so many different shades, finishes, and combinations, grey and black bedrooms can range in style from vintage to completely contemporary and anywhere in between. Because there is so much potential with black and grey bedrooms, it can be daunting to begin designing your own bedroom. Fortunately, we've compiled some of our favorite black and grey bedroom ideas along with guidelines on how to maximize this stunning color scheme.

Complete Comfort

In larger bedrooms, you may use one large area rug to fill the majority of the room. In other cases, it's perfectly viable to use two rugs to ground different areas of the room. You may follow this room's example and use the same rug and rug size in different areas of the room, or you can choose complementary rugs that suit whatever area(s) they're placed in.

Balancing Colors

Just because you're creating a black and grey bedroom doesn't mean that you have to equally balance those two colors. In this soothing neutral room, grey tones are everywhere in the walls, bed frame, and rug while black is used more sparingly. Allow this room to inspire you: your black and grey bedroom can balance the colors and tones in many different ways to create your ideal tone.

Low Key

Modern bedrooms often use low-profile furniture. Even if your room doesn't have beds or key accents placed directly on the floor, you can see how this setup can create a more cozy, intimate floor space and room (especially with a low ceiling). The black and grey tones used throughout this room emphasize the cozy rustic tone of the room and make it feel even more inviting and comfortable.

Black, Grey, and Cream

Since black and grey are both cooler colors, it can be helpful to bring some warmer hues into your bedroom to balance those cool colors. Beige is one option ideally suited for complementing the neutral black and grey tones, and this color can be showcased in a rug, comforter, pillows, or other accents throughout the room.

Classy and Clean

A black and grey color palette is perfect for creating a modern yet classy bedroom. As this room shows, using that color palette with modern furniture, traditional architecture, and classic accents is a great way to create a classy contemporary bedroom.

Moments of Drama

It's all about balance with black, white, and grey bedrooms. You can place the colors in different shades and intensities in order to create the proper tone, color scheme, and level of drama. In this room's case, the black headboard presents a dramatic contrast against the white walls. Conversely, a grey headboard against a white wall would be less dramatic and more soothing. It is up to you to determine what tone you want to set and how (and if) you want to create any sort of drama with the design.

Unexpectedly Boho

Bedroom rugs have a dramatic impact on the room's overarching design. Without the rug or pampas leaves, this room reads as highly modern and minimalist. However, by simply adding an aztec rug and a boho plant, this room's tone and style changes dramatically. Even if grey and black are not commonly associated with boho style, you can still use these colors and create a modern boho bedroom.

Radiance

Black and grey bedroom's don't have to rely on just those two colors. In fact, it can be beneficial to add in vibrant pops of color to ensure that the room doesn't feel too drab or impersonal. With this room, black may be the backdrop, but every other color of the rainbow has a place in the room's rug, bedding, and other accents. As you can see, unexpected pops of color can make your black bedroom feel absolutely radiant.

Branching Out

Although Scandinavian style typically uses warm colors to create its cozy tone, you can stray away from that color scheme to create something more modern and moody. By basing your room's color scheme in different greys and silvers, you can create a more dramatic Scandinavian space.

Mismatching Yet Not Misplaced

Instead of gathering all your furniture from one designer or collection, you can customize your room's look by using different cabinets, dressers, side tables, and nightstands according to your personal preferences. When you do so, look for some common elements to tie them all together, such as similar structures, finishes, drawer pulls, or overarching style.

Cozy

Texture is an important part of any bedroom, but especially one that uses darker and cooler colors. As this room shows, a soft shag rug can immediately make the whole room feel warmer even if the colors are still cool. Since shag rugs come in so many different heights, designs, and color palettes, you can choose one that perfectly suits your bedroom.

Subtle Touches

Even when the walls are black, there are numerous ways to customize the room's overall look and feel. In this classy traditional bedroom, the walls are actually covered in a black wallpaper. This wallpaper has natural streaks and variation that creates texture and dimension, which helps keep the room from feeling too stark. No matter what color you use on your walls, you can follow this room's example and customize the wall color/finish with wallpaper.

Hot and Cold

If you're not careful, you can create a grey and black bedroom that feels unwelcoming. Even if you're committed to that stark color palette, you can still add subtle warmth to your room through metallic accents. Gold in particular is ideal for creating a modern tone and adding light warmth to the room.

Dark Accents

If you want dark colors in your room but you don't want them to suffocate the space, then consider limiting the dark blacks and greys to accent pieces. In this room, the bedspread is the biggest dark piece while black is presented in smaller doses elsewhere throughout the room. If you use black as an accent as opposed to a main piece of furniture or wall color, you have a lot more options for customizing the balance of color.


Black and grey bedrooms can be highly elegant, completely approachable, or whatever tone you'd like. With the 15 black and grey bedroom ideas, tips, and tricks presented above, you can now design your room from the ground up or add in some new accents to create a whole new look.
