Wall paint grey: the all-rounder in interior design

Which rooms is grey suitable for?

The great thing about grey wall paints is that, precisely because they can have such a different effect, you can use them to design the walls in any room. They really go with any interior design style.

Designing a living room with grey wall paint

Depending on the shade, grey wall paints have a warm and elegant effect. This is why walls in the living room are often painted a shade of grey. The advantage of grey wall paint is that it tends to take a back seat and allows other colours in the room to take precedence. Even if your living room is rather monochrome with grey tones, you can simply add colour with colourful accessories.

You can also create interesting "colourful" accents with grey walls by accentuating a single wall with an intense grey. The slightly bluish Grey with Blue or Grey with Green, which tends towards green, are suitable for this . You can also use a dark anthracite shade such as Grey with Black or Black with Slate to visually highlight a wall.

We recommend painting the other walls a light grey to match a dark accent wall. MissPompadour has a large selection of attractive, light grey colour shades. One example is the soft, warm Grey with Seasalt. Grey with Linen also goes well with dark grey tones.

Grey walls in the bedroom

You can also make a bedroom cosy with a grey colour shade. Paint a single wall in a more intense shade of grey. How about the warm Grey with Peat, a grey with brown pigments that add a lot of warmth?

Complement this wall design with Beige with Cashmere or White with Character. The pigments of both colours are a perfect combination and create a cosy atmosphere in any bedroom that is particularly elegant. Different textile accessories such as coloured cushions and blankets add a little pep to the calm ambience.

Think about painting the ceiling in a different colour in the bedroom. In rooms that you often use while lying down, the colour shades of the blankets can be an important design element.

Grey in the children's room?

Why not actually? The calming effect of this colour can also unfold very well here. LittlePomp chalk paint has 2 beautiful colours to choose from: One is the light, delicate Grey & Relaxed, which has a calming effect on children and parents. The intense Grey & Mindful is also a wonderful wall paint for the children's room, not least if the room is to be decorated with stencils.

Luxurious: grey wall paint in the bathroom

Grey wall paints also give a bathroom a modern, contemporary look. If you use anthracite wall paint in the lower wall area and add a soft light grey to the upper part of the wall, it's easy to create a modern, homely interior style in the bathroom with a few wicker accessories and some leafy plants.

Grey wall paints: how to find the right tone for your living style

From a sophisticated country house style to romantic, nostalgic shabby chic, grey wall paints always work. Even very modern, urban interiors can be made interesting with wall paints in grey.

Basically, all non-colours between black and white are referred to as shades of grey. These so-called achromatic grey tones are available in all degrees of lightness, from the softest light grey to almost black anthracite. However, the effect of grey as a wall paint depends not only on the lightness of the grey tones, but also on which pigments give the respective grey its own character. Different pigments that are added to the paint create very different "colourful" shades of grey. As a result, grey wall paints allow very individual design options for every room.

Cosy: grey wall paints for a homely ambience

All wall paints in shades of grey that contain green colour components create a cosy atmosphere. A colour like Grey with Morning Dew suits any interior design style. A very modern interior with a rather minimalist design benefits just as much as a room with antique furniture.

Painting walls with a grey wall paint that contains brown pigments also creates a cosy, homely atmosphere. And this is not only desirable in the bedroom, but also in the living room. The intense, dark grey with brown, for example, is suitable for designing a wall.

Grey wall paint is also very suitable for giving the walls in the study a new look. Grey wall paints such as the light, fresh Grey with Seasalt or the cool Grey with Blue, which contain blue colour components, are recommended here. These colours promote concentration. The wall paints in these rooms should also tend to be light, as good light is essential for working.

Light grey or dark grey wall paints: making rooms appear larger or smaller

It is not necessarily the case that rooms with dark-coloured walls appear smaller. For small rooms, it is more important that all walls are painted in the same wall paint. If colours such as a subtle grey with seasalt are chosen, the rest of the room should also be kept as monochrome as possible.

The rest of the furnishings, such as the furniture, should also ideally match the grey colour scheme . The calmer the overall effect of the furnishings, the larger the room will appear. By the way, furniture can be painted tone-on-tone with the wall, as all wall paints from MissPompadour and LittlePomp are also available as varnishes.

Combining wall paints in grey

Grey colours go well with many other colour shades. Furniture made of natural wood also often creates an interesting contrast with a grey wall. However, it is always important to pay attention to which pigments are contained in a grey wall paint. The other colours in the room must match.
