7 ways to create the perfect purple and grey bedroom

1. The majestic purple and grey bedroom

The original colour of royalty, purple has long been associated with everything that’s luxurious and majestic. If you love the side of purple that’s rich with royal symbolism and connotations of nobility and power, then a purple-themed bedroom is for you. Adding touches of grey – on a feature wall or through silk or satin bedding – serves to emphasise the richness of the purple while offering a nicely modern counterpoint.

Team your purple and grey bedroom look with suitably regal furniture choices like oak bedroom furniture – an oak bed frame and matching chest of drawers and wardrobe, perhaps. Add a beautifully upholstered loveseat or grandly welcoming purple accent chair and accessorise with wall art and decorative mirrors.

3. The vintage purple and grey bedroom

While purple and grey as a colour combination can be bold and dramatic, it can also be calm, soothing and even a little bit whimsical. If you’re drawn to the softer side of purple and grey, consider a vintage-style purple and grey bedroom. Think soft lilac or lavender walls, floral bedding and a vintage-style metal bed frame – one with a pewter finish will help reinforce the grey aspect of this theme.

And while perfectly suited to cottage living, this is also a design style that can be easily pared back. If you prefer a more simple Scandi look, opt for white-painted wood furniture and a shaggy rugs in a soft neutral. Skip the floral bedding in favour of crisp white cotton.

5. The artistic purple and grey bedroom

If you’re a creative type (and even if you’re not) you’ll quickly realise that the perfect purple and grey bedroom doesn’t have to have purple and grey in equal measure. Let your artistic side run free by using grey to accent a purple room or purple to accent a grey room.

Try painting all four of your bedroom walls a soft, neutral grey and introduce pops of purple through creative accent pieces such as modern wall art where purple is the predominant colour, a piece of glassware or ceramic in purple or lavender, or a bold statement floor lamp. If you opt for the inverse – purple walls with grey accent pieces – be sure to pick your purple carefully to avoid overwhelming those subtle grey accents.

7. The minimal purple and grey bedroom

If you yearn for cool clean lines of contemporary minimalism – simple, uncluttered and very, very stylish – or love the natural warmth and simple structure of Scandi or Nordic style, then you may feel that a purple and grey bedroom just won’t work for you.

Far from it. The classic earthy tones of a purple and grey bedroom colour scheme lend themselves really well to some of today’s more pared-back design styles. Think in terms of nature-inspired tones like slate grey and a warm heathery purple, and opt for real wood furniture with a natural lightly-oiled finish, and then pair with stylish accessories like purple cushions.
