Grey bedroom, too much?

[Alex1984]

Hello,
Am a novice so please be gentle. We have just moved into a seventies built family home which doesn't need much structural work but needs a lot of cosmetic stuff doing! We have just bought a grey bed (my dh really wanted it so I relented) and are now considering this wallpaper:

To go behind the head board. I was then thinking white bedside tables and a cream carpet. Other walls would match the cream of the wallpaper. Would really appreciate your opinion on whether this would look ok or not and whether I should bring in a bright colour in the soft furnishings. Basically I think I am about to chicken out a paint the whole room magnolia (really want our house to have a homely feel unlike our last one which looked like it was a hotel as totally white with same curtains in every room).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Na go for it!
I would also add splashes of a bright colour with a few things, and then if bored could cheapish/easish update the feel!

(but 2 of my walls in bedroom are grey so may be a little biased).

I think it sounds nice. I like that wallpaper!

Thank you for your comments. Any advice on what colour kukeslala?

I have grey in my bedroom as well, works really well with purple
I currently have deep purple and lime green but just cushions and candles so it's easy to change it

I can't see the link but it sounds lovely

So you wouldn't go for colour on the curtains? Thanks this is so helpful.

These are in the next catalogue if you need a bit of inspiration

I just don't want to mess it up!!

Same as sunshine I have purple (deep).

I never would have considered that but it sounds so luxurious! Thanks. Do you have purple or purple and grey curtains?

I quite like bright green with grey - think moss on a slate roof.

I have purple curtains but have seen a few luxurious looking sets in metallic grey so am considering changing them

We've just done teen DS bedroom as a proper adult room - bare varnished floor with a traditional rug (fairly blue but with red bits in the design), white metal bed (ikea) white furniture, pale gray walls with darker grey woodwork, grey/silver duvet with red sheets, and a couple of other red accents in the room. No curtains yet!
Looks great. I think pp are right - bright green and purples will also go well with greys.

I'd go for grey curtains, but bed linen in purple/fuchsia/orange, and a picture echoing the bright colours above the bed.

Brilliant. Thanks so much. Am feeling more confident now! If you are having ceiling skimmed and down lights which should you do first? Thanks again!

Ceiling skim first, then holes cut for lights. You cannot skim around lights in situ.

We have a grey bedroom. It is painted Cornforth White from Farrow and Ball but we have a Wimborne white ceiling and window frames. The built in wardrobes are Pointing, a soft white, also F and B. We have a luxurious pale grey wool carpet with a dark grey velvet bed. The window blinds are a grey ikat fabric from Clarke and Clarke. I will be getting a long stool covered in a pale pink and grey cut velvet called Nabucco from Designers Guild. I am picking the pink theme up with cushions and a throw. I am not a big fan of purple and grey and I think pale pink, coral or citrus/lime colours work best. There are some glorious grey bedrooms on the Houzz website.
