How to Decorate a Bedroom Around Gray Sheets

Gray sheets are a vital foundation for a sophisticated bedroom space. When you incorporate various shades of gray and black and add a burst of color, you design a quiet and private dwelling that looks ready for a night in. Use your own black and white photographs throughout the space to personalize it and make the room feel like an elegant celebration of your family.

Instructions

    • 1

      Purchase a deep gray or black comforter and black, gray and white pillowcases. Pile up decorative pillows in those colors at the head of the bed to add lightness and variety.

    • 2

      Place black wood side tables on each side of the bed. Center the bed against a wall and measure the space on each side of the bed to buy the right sized side tables.

    • 3

      Top side tables with chrome accented table lamps and silver picture frames housing black and white or hand-colored images.

    • 4

      Hang an extra-large black and white or hand-painted art piece over the bed. This will complement the blacks and grays in the room and define the space in lieu of a headboard.

    • 5

      Lay a sheepskin area rug at the foot of the bed to add a new texture and luxury to the room.

    • 6

      Add a pop of color in your gray space with one bright colored pillow. If your artwork is a hand-colored black and white print, use that to determine what color to add to the space.

    • 7

      Hang white sheers from the windows to add light and privacy as well as a visual softness to the space.

    • 8

      Use a black wood chest of drawers to hold clothing. Fit the dresser with silver drawer pulls and accessorize to match the bedside tables.
