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.

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.

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.

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.
