Grey Wallpaper: The Guide

A calming, understated colour that never seems to go out of fashion, grey has long featured as one of the classic colours in the palette of decorators worldwide. The ability of grey wallpapers to blend in with every environment and to complement a vast range of other décor colours without clashing or being too obtrusive makes this shade a discrete, versatile hue. Naturally predestined to exude a modern feel, it provides a subtle background to accent colours that can add sparkle to otherwise minimalist design concepts. Its varieties, from deep charcoal tones to lighter silvery hues, provide a range of applications that should not be overlooked when decorating modern and high-end interiors.

Why is grey wallpaper a great option for decorating?

As it is a naturally versatile colour, grey wallpapers are often used to define elegant and stylish environments that can focus either on minimalism or beautify the walls with textured surfaces.

Grey can add a touch of sophistication to a room

In all its variations - from soft dove and ash grey to strong charcoal and slate hues - this wallpaper colour effortlessly provides understated and sophisticated glamour to any space. Its refined and timeless appeal makes it an ideal canvas for highlighting designer furniture, retro-modern decoration accessories or framed photos and paintings.

Grey works well for textured and embossed wallpaper surfaces

Due to its neutral nature, grey is the perfect choice for haptic surfaces that have the ability to add a three-dimensional feel to the wallpaper. It’s no surprise that many wall décor designers pick precisely this hue to create intricately embossed surfaces or textured models that provide an alluring sensorial tingle when touched.

Minimalist design concepts benefit from the subtle allure of grey

Interiors conceived around minimalist design are defined by the use of clean, uncluttered lines and a lack of excess ornamentation. A grey wallpaper is the perfect complement to these looks as it helps to underline the Nordic aesthetic because it is a neutral hue that does not distract from the overall design, providing instead an essential and futuristic canvas that feels open and fresh.

Which grey colour variations do interior designers prefer for wallpaper?

All shades of grey wallpapers tend to be used in interior design, with light greys adding light and airiness to the room whilst darker greys like slate and charcoal providing a touch of elegance and sophistication.

Light Grey

With its naturally calming and serene effect, light grey wallpaper is a timeless option perfect for environments that need to feel more spacious and less claustrophobic. As it reflects incident light well, this hue makes the room appear brighter and larger and is therefore a popular option for narrow corridors with little sunlight.

Charcoal Grey

When it comes to choosing a wall décor colour, charcoal grey is a classic option that can be deployed in a variety of settings, ranging from traditional to contemporary. A rich and sophisticated tonality, the dark hues of charcoal wallpaper provide a sense of drama and intimacy that works particularly well in dining rooms as well as elegant living rooms.

Slate Grey

Taking its name from the rock, slate grey is a trendy hue that is enjoying new-found popularity in interior design as a substitute for previously overused variations of dove grey. A medium dark grey, lighter than charcoal and with notes of blue and brown, slate grey wallpaper is the ultimate neutral colour, perfect for emphasising accent colours while preserving its own character.

Dark Grey

Wallpapers featuring richer and darker shades of grey are often used as an atmospheric base for building both drama and cosiness in an interior design concept. Often used to define elegant and modern living rooms and bedrooms, they are a great option for interior solutions with multiple indirect light sources. Since they won't show dirt or fingerprints as much as lighter hues, they are also a practical choice for high-traffic areas.

Which other colour tonalities are a good match for grey?

The neutral hue of grey is an excellent partner for other lighter colours like white and cream, while when paired with brown it creates a warm and cosy atmosphere.

Grey and White

Grey and white are the classic combination of the Scandinavian minimalist approach to interior design. Both neutral colours, they are a brilliant pairing either for providing a space with colour accents like prints or artwork, or for monochrome schemes with a surprising twist. A wallpaper featuring this colour combo benefits from plenty of greenery, from hanging plants to potted evergreens.

Cream and Grey

A warm and soothing colour combination, cream and grey wall décor is a great option for a gender-neutral nursery or a sophisticated office. Cream and grey work well with dark woods and golden accents, making it an excellent solution for opulent living rooms and for creating the atmosphere of a luxury hotel in your bedroom.

Brown and Grey

Sometimes considered the most traditional and perhaps even a little conservative colour combination, brown and grey have featured in countless interior design options for the simple reason that they work well together. When featured on wallpaper, especially if textured, the warm cosiness of brown complements the neutrality of grey - perfect for intimate and comfortable lounge designs.

Which rooms are grey wallpapers best suited for?

Depending on the colour temperature chosen, grey wall décor presents chameleonic abilities to work in almost any space. Stylish bedrooms, elegant hallways and understated living rooms are amongst the most successful options.

Bedroom

An increasingly popular choice for modern and stylish bedrooms, grey in its entire range of variations - from moody and dramatic darker grey to light pastel hues - provides a calming set-up to relax and slow down after a hectic day. Far from being boring or cold, a textured grey wallpaper can be warm and provide a focal point that envelops you as you enter the room.

Hallway

Oozing charm and sophistication, a grey wallpaper model offers a smart and sophisticated base from which any decorator can build a variety of concepts using either matching or contrasting tonalities. When deciding on the gradients of grey for the wall décor, one must take into consideration both the incident light and the size of the hallway, not forgetting that it is a high-traffic area that is subject to wear and tear.

Living Room

One of the many benefits of grey wall décor is its ability to make most furniture look modern and contemporary when set against it. A light hue can be the perfect backdrop for a Scandinavian-style minimalist concept, while dark slate grey wallpaper, paired with a light coloured couch and colourful framed pictures, is both understated and elegant.
