Navy Blue and Grey Bedroom Ideas

Navy blue and grey are two colors that pair wonderfully in any room, but they can be especially calming in master and guest bedrooms. These hues can convey the same calm, cooling tones while still complimenting warmer whites and beiges if you so choose. Since this is such a versatile color scheme, you may be struggling with how to create the proper balance and convey your unique style. That is why we've created a list of our best navy blue and grey bedroom ideas along with guidelines on how to achieve your ideal look.

Resolving Misconceptions

One of the most popular misconceptions when it comes to interior design and color theory as a whole is that grey and beige don't play well together. While it's true that these colors convey different tones, this room shows just how well the two colors can work together to create a warm yet soothing bedroom. Combine these neutral colors with pops of blue, orange, and pink to create a marvelously dynamic color scheme.

A Bit of Guidance

If you're struggling to design a navy blue and grey bedroom, you may find it beneficial to choose a rug first. The rug's color scheme can capture the entire room's color palette, set the tone with the balance of colors, and define the room's aesthetic with its pattern.

Mismatched Perfection

More traditional homes may try to match colors perfectly throughout the entire room. With that being said, more modern and homey styles tend to use the same general color in different materials, textures, and patterns. This diversity helps make the room feel more authentic and visually interesting.

Fabulous Furniture

It may be more popular to use purely neutral furniture in your bedroom, but if you use a primary color like navy blue in at least one piece of furniture, you can create a great impact on the room's tone. As this room shows, the navy blue chair and ottoman pair perfectly with the grey bed frame and create a well rounded color palette.

Accent Colors

As you set out to create a navy blue and grey bedroom, you may find that you enjoy these colors as secondary hues as opposed to serving as the room's main colors. That's perfectly fine! As you can see with this modern elegant bedroom, both blue and grey play well with other colors like orange and red.

Limiting Yourself

Whenever you're establishing the room's color scheme, you may want to make it incredibly obvious by using blue and/or grey in all the room's pillows, bedding, wall art, and rugs. However, it can be beneficial to limit yourself and use these areas to introduce new and complementary colors.

Dignified Youth

Whether you're designing a master bedroom or a room for a teenager, navy blue and grey are two colors that can convey an air of maturity. In this room, while the sports theme may seem unappealing to non-fanatics, the color scheme balances that theme while still setting a refined tone.

Coastal Delight

Navy blue has been associated with coastal and nautical styles for a very long time. This room shows how you can create a subtle coastal theme with navy blue accents, a grey area rug, and other pops of cream/white. Even though grey is typically considered a cool color, it can still work well with the warm colors associated with coastal styles.

Tone

When you incorporate a color into the room, it doesn't have to be bold. In some cases, a material or fabric may have undertones that subtly shine through. The wood frame of this headboard shows that philosophy perfectly by having a grey undertone that perfectly complements the bedding, black curtains, and navy furniture. Be sure to consider subtle elements like this when creating your ideal navy blue and grey bedroom.

Feminine Tastes

On their own, navy blue and grey can lean towards feminine, masculine, or gender neutral tones. If you want your room to have a more specific tone, try adding in colors associated with a certain gender, such as adding soft feminine pinks or stark blacks to draw the room towards more masculine audiences.

Noteworthy Accents

Modern interior design loves using "found" pieces to create a statement. This typically means that you add some piece of vintage, reclaimed, or refurbished furniture/art to your room. This room shows off a found piece as a nightstand, and since it does not highlight blue, grey, or white (the room's main colors), it stands out as a unique accent. Ultimately, this room shows how a navy blue and grey and white color palette can support unique accents like the one shown here.

Complementary Decor

What decor works well with a navy blue and grey color scheme? Just about any decor will work! Since this color scheme is so diverse, it can complement any interior design style. Like this room, you may lean into a country coastal aesthetic, or you may create something retro and vintage with old fashioned artwork and period-pieces. Or, you may use this color scheme to suit other styles like boho, eclectic, modern farmhouse, contemporary, etc. This color palette is incredibly friendly to work with and easy to coordinate with.

Mustard Yellow

Mustard yellow is a color that has risen in popularity in the past decade. This color, especially when presented in a fabric like velvet, can bring in an earthy element and harken back to vintage color schemes. This accent color can also pair wonderfully with blue and grey, so feel free to add this color to your room.

Softer Tones

Both navy blue and grey come in a variety of tones. In this luxurious master bedroom, both colors are more muted. This helps create a softer room with less contrast and establish the tone as more calming as opposed to bold. Neither tone is wrong, but it is important to decide what tone you want to create and what shades of navy blue and grey will help you set that tone.

Supreme Comfort

No matter what color scheme you use in your room, it's important that the room is both beautiful and comfortable. Area rugs play a key role in both these areas, and by filling the room with an oversized rug, you can make the entire room feel more cozy while supporting the overarching color scheme/tone.


Navy blue and grey bedrooms are incredibly diverse in their exact styles since this color scheme is so versatile and fun to play with. No matter what style you hope to create, these two colors can help you convey your aesthetic and set the proper tone. Now that you have seen our favorite navy blue and grey bedroom ideas, you have the inspiration you need to begin designing your own bedroom.
