The Best Gray Paint Colours (Boy or Girl): Benjamin & Sherwin

Before Pinterest, people didn’t pay as much attention to the colour palette in their kid’s bedroom or nursery. Whatever colour the wall happened to BE was how it stayed until the kids moved out 18 years later.

However, thanks to the online world, our eyes have been opened up as to how kids’ rooms can not only be fabulous spaces for kids to be in but they can ALSO be integrated into the style of the entire home!

So for those of you looking to FAB up your wee one’s bedroom, here are THREE (recently updated to FIVE) of my fave GRAY paint colour palettes, including main wall and accent colours…

1. A NATURAL, NAUTICAL KID’S ROOM

I love the high contrast, but balanced vibe of this palette. Blue is a great colour when paired with gray, keeping things calm and collected while a vibrant shade of red adds a dose of fun!

For an accent colour to be appreciated as part of an intentional palette, you should see it three times in a space. Ideally, you would be able to draw a triangle between these three red pieces (which means this colour is spread nicely throughout the room, not clustered in one spot).

2. CABIN INDUSTRIAL KID’S ROOM

This room is inspired by neutrals with pops of colour for those who want a bit more energy. If the orange and red don’t do it for you, replace them with darker shades of green for a calm, restful, organic palette. While the red and orange jazz things up, the overall look is a little bit rustic and a little bit rock and roll!

3. GRAY, GRAPHIC, & GORGEOUS

This colour palette is a bit more high contrast than the above two and has a mood that could lean nautical OR super-hero, depending on the accent pieces and decor you put with it! But regardless of the theme you choose, this bedroom is fresh, fun and timeless with the light gray walls and navy blue and red accents – LOOOVE it.

4. CALM & CLASSIC BEDROOM PALETTE

This palette takes a more subtle approach. And while I’ve got a darker charcoal gray with lighter warm gray/greige main walls and coral and navy blue accents, you can jazz up this palette almost any way you like with a wide range of accent colours!
