When combining gray with other colors, there are several important rules to keep in mind:

• if several additional colors are chosen, they should have a single range (either warm or cold);
• a rich tone must be diluted with light colors, otherwise the interior will turn out to be gloomy;
• light silver undertones will require bright and juicy blotches.

Now let's look at the basic combinations that designers use most often.

The cold white tone is a great companion to gray as it is part of it. It should be noted that in addition to such colors, black is very often taken. All objects in such a room should be in harmony with each other. For example, gray wallpaper, white bed, black accessories. Bedrooms with a similar range look restrained and elegant.

Blue shades look best in sunny bedrooms. They go well with both plain wallpaper and numerous prints and patterns. Light blue can look pretty mediocre, but bright turquoise colors will come in handy. The same can be said for Tiffany, aqua, sky on a clear day. The atmosphere of the bedrooms in such a design will be cool and fresh.

Gray goes well with pink and is one of the most popular combinations today. Both colors come in many shades. For example, pink can be either light, powdered, or juicy, fuchsia. When combining shades, it is important not to overdo it, otherwise the room will turn out to be flashy. A good option is to combine light with dark. For example, silvery light tones can be beautifully complemented with bright magenta or pink fuchsia curtains.

Sunny yellow always evokes warmth, summer. It immediately lifts your spirits, energizes, increases efficiency. Yellow is a great partner for gray, it effectively sets it off, makes it less gloomy. The room becomes warm and comfortable. You can use different variations of yellow to combine. So, saturated asphalt will look beautiful with apricot, sunny yellow, sandy tones. Lighter shades can be combined with corn, amber, lemon motifs.

One of the best companions for this color.Especially this solution is liked by nature lovers: if you combine gray, for example, with light green, then immediately there will be an association with spring and the first weak shoots making their way out of the ground.
