Decorating a bedroom in shades of grey and white is a great way to achieve a classic and sophisticated look.

Grey is the perfect neutral colour as it can be calm and serene or dramatic and moody, depending on the shade you choose. When paired with a white palette, it can create a look that is both clean and classic.

If you're not sure how to bring these two colours together, the following grey and white bedroom ideas will show you how, and inspire your decorative design.

This large and airy loft space is the perfect place for a sleek and modern bedroom. The built-in glossy white wardrobes and grey and white shiny bed surround, with floating side tables, are a stunning addition to the room. They not only add a contemporary edge to the space but are also functional and practical.

The sizeable skylights in this master bedroom are a fantastic feature that allows plenty of natural light to flood in and brighten up the space. This makes the room feel even more open and spacious.

Grey-toned wooden flooring is a beautiful choice, which brings the colour theme together and adds a bit more elegance to an already elegant white and grey bedroom. A soft grey textured throw and striped grey and beige rug complete the look.

This sparkly grey white and silver bedroom is a grown-up and glamorous take on 1950's interior design and screams opulence in every direction you look. Plain off-white walls have been chosen to allow the furniture and decor items to shine.

Modern Grey and White Bedroom

Although there are many traditional bedroom style elements within this grey and white bedroom design, such as the extravagant chandelier and built-in wardrobes. Much of the space has a great deal more modern feel, especially the floor-to-ceiling padded headboard panels and low-level grey velvet-covered bed frame.

A large light grey area rug cleverly zones the space where the bed sits, and stops it otherwise being lost in a sea of herringbone flooring. There is a definite and deliberate move towards minimalism here, with only two grey furniture side tables and a few flower-filled vases on show for decoration.

Aesthetic White and Grey Bedroom

The aesthetics of this elegant bedroom design have certainly been thought out to a greater degree than many of my other grey and white bedroom ideas. Although many are quite subtle touches, like the irregular white and grey pattern in the area rug and grey wooden muted tones in the furniture, they all help to add a further layer to the design aesthetic.

The soft grey colour of the walls, headboard, striped cushions and blanket, next to the contrasting darker grey of the throw, help to tie the theme together and make sure that soft greys are without doubt the star of the show.

Modern Country Grey and White Bedroom

Grey and white bedrooms can sometimes feel cold and clinical, but if you add in the right colour tones, decoration and texture, much of this can be negated.

The traditional grey wainscot panelling, white walls and white bedside drawers, that echo a similar style, work seamlessly against the more modern look of the quilted square patterned duvet cover and grey pin-stripes edging the pillows and cushions.

The opulent glass wall lights, stunning chandelier and other decorative items, all add to the modern country aesthetic and bring this interior design theme to life.

The all-in-one nature of furniture in this small bedroom space cleverly incorporates the headboard and bed, mirrors and side tables. This concept certainly makes the most of the small bedroom space available, whilst creating a modern and cosy aesthetic.

As with any room decor, the mirrors help to bring light into the small space and give it a greater feeling of size. The sumptuous cushions, pillows and fluffy blanket all add texture and softness for a cosy and comfortable spot to relax in.

Lighting has also been well considered in this bedroom design, with ambient lighting being used on the ceiling, task lighting for the bedside tables and decorative LED lights to highlight the frame of the furniture.

This bright and airy bedroom space with its neutral shades of grey and white shades, benefits from the copious amounts of light that it receives from the windows and balcony door.

This cosy-looking grey and white bedroom with white walls give a clean and calming effect, while the grey woollen textile fabric cushions and bed throw add a touch of luxury and comfort to the space.

Black and white abstract artwork, mounted in colour co-ordinating white frames has been hung above the bedhead. Shelves provide a convenient place to store small objects and display items of interest and personal value.

The warmth of the natural wood and white metal legged side tables add a neat little contrast to the otherwise neutral bedroom theme, and a narrow black metal window detail and low hanging glass light add to the modern interior design that echoes the rest of the space.

This grey and white bedroom is the perfect haven for anyone wanting to relax and sleep in comfort and modern style.

This traditional bedroom space has a clear modern edge and a classic sophistication to its design. The soft grey walls and dark grey-toned floorboards contrast neatly against each other, while the crisp white hues of the bedding is the perfect colour option to sit between these two shades.

A subtle hint of colour is sprinkled into the space on the bedspread, pillows and cushions, which adds a small amount of warmth to the overall colour scheme. Interest is added to the walls using white and black framed photos of abstract pieces, with the two bedside tables offering a place for personal items, books and drinks during the evening.
