8 Great Spaces with Grey Walls

Hi everyone! My name is Jenn and I write for Arcadian Home Decor, an e-commerce website that specializes in top home decor ideas around the world. I am a Martha-wannabe, I have IKEA catalogues that go back to the 90s, and I love to do decorative painting. I also love great home decor blogs that get my creative juices flowing like Build 4 Cost, where the posts keep me updated on all the latest and greatest in the interior design world. I’m excited to be guest posting here today, so thank you!

Gray is one of those ideal colours that basically goes with anything – it can be used to soften a space with a dark palette, or it can be the airy accent hue in a white room. It’s traditional as well as contemporary. And with the addition of home accessories, gray is always stylish. Here are eight great spaces with gray walls.

Gray bedroom home decor

The gray walls of this modern bedroom almost look like a dusty brown with the other organic shades in the space. The rust-coloured furniture and accents complement the gray walls very well.

A touch of elegance

This great space with gray walls is accented with clean white lines, giving the dining room a streamlined look. The round-back chairs propped at a glass table is an elegant set-up.

Half is more

Using gray on only the bottom-half (or top-half) of a wall is a striking choice – it works well in this casual den.

Gray walls with texture

A serene bedroom is soothing as well as chic with gray wallpapered surfaces that have texture. A darker gray headboard and throw give the space some pizzazz.

Perfect gray for baby

Gray looks soothing in a nursery and can offer a neutral shade to decorate around – here, this baby room takes advantage of bolder primary colours like yellow and red especially in the mattress and wall art and decor seen.

Retro charm

Slate gray walls provide the perfect backdrop for this retro-infused living room – the huge dome light fixture gives a nod to decades past, while the exposed wood and worktable lend a more industrial feel.

Make a statement

Deep gray walls look arresting with the right home accessories – this unique display features antique accoutrements and a matte grey background where even the chair mouldings are painted, giving centre stage to the showcase.

A range of shades

A broad spectrum of grays were used on these walls to not only incorporate the whole range of shades that are possible but to also give the surfaces some graininess.
