Layer up a contemporary lookThe grey and white scheme in this bedroom gives it a smart, urban vibe. The charcoal bedhead blends in to the deep grey wall to root the bed in the space, and even the artwork and rug replicate the two-tone palette. Once again, it’s texture that warms up the room and gives it a cosy feel. The layers of bedlinen, throws and cushions make the bed look extremely comfy and inviting.
Add some soft creamsTo get a grey and white scheme right, it’s important to consider the other elements in the room. The two colours in their simplest form could end up looking slightly cold, so the key is to add layers of tone and texture. In this room, the designers have brought in a few cream-coloured textiles, which instantly soften the cool grey and white scheme.
