If you’re searching for a sophisticated and stylish colour pallet for your room, you can’t beat navy and grey.

 

Blue has unrivalled calming powers, making it a popular choice for bedrooms. When paired with grey, it can achieve a fantastic range of looks, from deep and moody to light and fresh.

 

But however you style these colours, this classic partnership is sure to create a serene sanctuary that’s perfect for rest.

 

So, if you're pondering your next bedroom revamp, check out these stunning navy and grey ideas to spark your imagination.

 

1. Choose a Navy Bed

A plush navy bed frame exudes luxury. Pair yours with pale grey walls and place it in the middle of the room to make your bed the centrepiece.

 

Complement your blue bed by choosing light flooring and bed linen, and dress it with blush-toned cushions to provide a soft and inviting finish.

 

2. Introduce Warm Tones

Worried a navy and grey bedroom might feel a little cold for your tastes? Heat things up by introducing some warm tones through your furniture and accessories.

 

This relaxed space boasts gold, red and bronze hues, complementing the large wood dresser and providing contrast against the cool blue and grey scheme. Choose a mix of textures and fabrics to give your room a comfortable, laid-back vibe.

 

3. Layer Plush Fabrics

This beautiful bedroom brings hotel luxury to everyday living, with elegant velvet, silk and linen bedding. Why not create your own stylish sanctuary by layering plush navy and grey fabrics in your bedroom?

 

Choose an upholstered headboard and add extra texture through velvet cushions and woven throws.

 

4. Use Gold Highlights

Accentuate your navy and grey scheme with gold highlights. Gold looks fantastic against deep hues of blue and grey, offering a glamorous and striking finish.

 

This elegant guest bedroom uses a gold-toned headboard, curtains and cushions alongside a metallic lamp, helping lift the room. But you can also introduce gold details in the most subtle ways – such as through your furniture legs, drawer pulls and planters.

 

5. Add a Third Colour

Make your navy and grey colour scheme pop by introducing a third colour. This gorgeous master bedroom uses complementary orange tones to bring the space to life.

 

Meanwhile, the floral patterned fabric helps create a soft and romantic aesthetic. Bring your accent colour in through small decorative accessories and cushions for a subtle yet stylish finish.

 

6. Paint Your Doors Navy

Make an impact in your bedroom with some creative paintwork. Navy doors pop against pale grey walls in this chic bedroom, bringing character and depth to the space.

 

Choose pale grey walls and paint your doors, skirting boards and architraves navy to add contrast. Alternatively, paint your woodwork dark grey and bring in pops of navy through your bed and furnishings.

 

7. Add Navy Accents To a Grey Room

Freshen up your space by adding navy accents to a grey room. By keeping the walls pale, this space feels light and airy, while deep navy curtains create contrast and frame the windows.

 

Bring in blue tones through a patterned rug or bedding to add depth and visual interest.

 

8. Panel One Wall

Traditional and contemporary in equal measure, this stylish navy and grey bedroom is a versatile space. The feature wall of navy panelling is a beautiful touch and creates contrast behind the pale grey bed.

 

Give your bedroom character and create a feature wall with Jacobean-style panelling – it’s a simple way to make a big impact.

 

9. Embrace The Dark Side

Embrace the dark side and paint your bedroom walls navy blue. Whatever the size of your space, dark walls help create a cosy and cocooning vibe that’s perfect for bedrooms.

 

Complement your navy walls with crisp, white woodwork and pale grey bedding. Introduce a third accent colour through your furnishings to create interest and complete the look.

 

10. Use Different Grey Tones

Use a range of grey tones and navy accents to create a calming and cohesive bedroom. This modern yet relaxed space places a deeper grey bed and bedlinen against light grey walls, making a stylish centrepiece.

 

Introduce navy hues through your throws and accessories to add depth.

 

11. Add a Splash of Pink

Add a splash of fun to your navy and grey bedroom with a touch of hot pink. This classic and sophisticated master bedroom includes small pops of pink through cushions, making a big impact without overwhelming the space.

 

Try bringing in hot pink through small accessories, or one larger statement piece like an accent chair.

 

12. Hang Patterned Wallpaper

Think grey walls may be a little plain? Think again. This contemporary Scandi bedroom proves that grey walls are anything but dull, with a patterned wallpaper making a striking feature.

 

Create visual interest by hanging a patterned paper on the wall behind your bed – it’s a brilliant way to add depth and make your space a little more playful.

 

13. Introduce a Rug

A great bedroom rug can really help to bring a whole scheme together. This grey striped rug is simple but effective, helping to soften the transition between the hardwood floor and the grey and navy scheme.

 

Unite your navy and grey bedroom with a patterned rug that brings in elements of both. Make sure to choose a rug large enough to go under your bed to bring balance and warmth to your space.

 

14. Add a Navy Accent Chair

If you’re not in the market for a new bed frame, why not introduce navy using an accent chair? An accent chair is a fantastic opportunity to add a colour to a room and can instantly transform your space.

 

Pair a navy accent chair with pale grey walls and light flooring to let it pop.

 

15. Unite Your Scheme With Art

The right artwork can provide the perfect finishing touch for any space. It can help unite colour schemes, add contrast, and create a striking focal point in your room.

 

Here, a large piece of abstract art brings the grey and navy colour scheme together, ensuring continuity and flow. Choose a piece of art you love and hang it above your headboard to make a huge impression.

 

16. Colour Block Your Room

Colour blocking is a fantastic way to add a splash of colour to your space. I love the creative paintwork in this room, with a diagonal block of navy making a big impact against white.

 

But there’s no limit to what you can achieve with paint – get creative and colour block navy and grey shapes behind your bed for a contemporary and unique style.

 

17. Navy Geometric Panelling

Give your navy and grey room a makeover with geometric panelling on one wall – it’s an affordable way of revamping your space.

 

Position simple wood slats diagonally to create geometric shapes and paint the entire wall navy blue to create texture and depth. Pair it with grey and white bedding for contrast.

 

18. Choose Coloured Wardrobes

Available in many styles and shades, fitted wardrobes can transform a bedroom. Here, these pale grey, shaker-style doors offer contrast against the navy walls, helping to brighten the space.

 

For a chic and stylish place to rest your head, paint your bedroom walls pale grey and choose navy wardrobes. Add brass handles to bring added glamour and warmth.

 

19. Keep It Simple With White Walls

Create a light and bright space by keeping your bedroom walls white and introduce navy and grey through your accessories. This is a great solution if you rent your property and can’t make any major changes to the paint.

 

I love how this modern bedroom keeps it simple with white walls, ceilings and bedding. But it brings in touches of colour with the artwork, grey curtains, navy cushions and a navy bed runner.

 

20. Balance Navy With White Panelling

If you fancy adding blue paint to your walls but worry it’ll be a little dark, try balancing it with white panelling. White paint is renowned for its reflective properties, making it a firm favourite with interior designers and architects.

 

Use elegant white panelling on the lower half of your walls and paint above navy to create contrast. Choose a grey bed and bring in further touches of navy through your soft furnishings, too.

 

21. Create a Sophisticated Space With Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring gives this bedroom instant appeal. It’s a wonderful addition to navy and grey schemes as it brings warmth to the colour pallet and provides a sophisticated finish.

 

Choose medium or dark wood flooring to contrast against pale grey walls in your bedroom and complement it with brown leather and wood furniture for a contemporary look. Introduce navy through a stylish upholstered bed or your bed linen.

 

22. Choose Patterned Bedding

Create visual interest in your space with patterned bedding. This beautiful pattern is a fantastic addition to this bedroom, helping to accentuate the navy and grey tones and pull the colours together.

 

You don’t need to opt for a full patterned set to make an impact – you can get the look with a patterned bed runner or cushion covers.

 

23. Add a Wall Hanging

Give your navy and grey bedroom soothing boho vibes with a wall hanging. This beautiful piece brings in white and blue tones to complement the colour pallet, but you could choose an all-white piece or a pop of another colour to bring contrast to your space.

 

24. Combine Pattern and Panelling

Use pattern and panelling to create a bedroom with bags of character. Install panelling on the lower half of your wall and wallpaper above it to create a striking feature.

 

Choose a pattern with different tones of navy and grey for a cohesive space with depth. Make sure your panelling is a different colour to your bed to bring contrast and visual interest.

 

25. Bring the Beach Vibes

Bring beach vibes to your bedroom with a navy and grey scheme. The horizontal wood panels are perfect for creating a coastal theme in this space, with a striped rug and rustic wood pieces finishing the look.

 

Recreate this at home with horizontal panels on one wall – you could even use reclaimed wood or scaffolding boards for a rustic finish. Paint your remaining walls pale grey and add a navy striped rug or bedding to complete the room.

 

26. Use Different Shades of Blue

Worried single shades of navy and grey may feel a little flat? Don’t be shy about mixing up your blue tones – it’s a brilliant way to create a cohesive space that feels relaxed.

 

This bedroom gives a graduated look with different shades of navy, blue and grey through the carpets, wardrobes, walls and bed linen.

 

27. Have Fun With Yellow

A pop of bright yellow can bring sunshine to a navy and grey room. Because yellow and blue are complementary colours, they work incredibly well together, offering high contrast and plenty of visual interest.

 

Add yellow to your room through small decorative accessories and cushions. Or, for something bigger, try a yellow ottoman to make an impact and maximise your bedroom storage at the same time.

 

Are Navy and Grey Good Colours For a Bedroom?

Navy and grey are fantastic colours for bedrooms. They help to create a cool and calming mood which is perfect for relaxing. They’re extremely versatile too – depending on how you style them, your room can be dramatic and cocooning, or light and fresh.

 

What Accent Colours Go With Navy and Grey?

Navy and grey can be treated as neutrals, so there’s a huge range of choice when it comes to accent colours. For a bold and playful vibe, opt for yellow, orange or hot pink. If you’re looking for something more calming and subtle, try pale pink or mauve.
