It’s no secret that I love gray. It’s my favorite color. But what I love more than gray is gray paired with another color.
Gray and yellow is a popular color combination, but the color scheme is a little tricky to work with.
If you love the idea of gray and mustard, you’re in luck. I’m sharing my favorite mustard and gray bedroom ideas.
Plus, I have a few tips for decorating with this color scheme.
Accent Wall
If you want to add some color to your bedroom but don’t want to go all in, an accent wall is a great option.
Choose a wall that you want to be the focal point of the room and paint it in a bold color like mustard.
You can even add a mural, wallpaper, or texture to the wall to make it stand out even more.
Textured Bedding
If you want to add some depth to your mustard and gray bedding, consider a textured option. This one features a tufted design that adds a fun touch to the otherwise simple color scheme.
You can also play with different textures in your bedroom decor, like adding a shag rug or velvet curtains.
Geometric Patterns
Geometric patterns are a great way to add a little pizzazz to a room. And when you choose a bold color like mustard, it really makes a statement.
In this room, the mustard and gray rug adds a pop of color to the space. And, the colors in the rug are repeated in the artwork above the bed, helping to tie the whole room together.
Mustard Curtains
If you have a window in your bedroom, you can use curtains to add a pop of color to your space. Mustard curtains look great with a gray color scheme.
You can use them as a statement or as an accent. If you like to get a little wild with your decor, you can even use them in addition to mustard bedding for a bold look.
Artwork
Introducing artwork is a great way to add color to your bedroom without committing to a single color scheme.
This beautiful piece above the bed features a mix of gray, mustard, and other earthy tones, which are then pulled out and used in the bedding and decorative pillows.
Throw Pillows
If you’re not ready to commit to a full bedding set, try incorporating these two colors with a few throw pillows.
In this room, the mustard yellow throw pillows are the perfect pop of color against the gray headboard and bedding.
Furniture Choices
The furniture is a key part of any bedroom design. And in this mustard and gray bedroom, we have a few different pieces to explore.
First, we have the bed. The bed is the star of any bedroom, so make sure to choose one that you absolutely love. Here, we have a beautiful upholstered bed in a soft gray color. The headboard is tall and tufted, which gives the bed a luxurious and elegant look.
Next, we have the nightstands. The nightstands in this bedroom are small and simple, with a single drawer and an open shelf. They are painted in a soft gray color, which complements the bed and the walls.
Finally, we have the bench at the foot of the bed. This bench is a great addition to any bedroom, as it provides a place to sit and put on your shoes. It’s also a great way to add some extra color and texture to the room.
Light Fixtures
The gold light fixtures in this room are the perfect way to add a pop of color without going overboard.
We love how the gold in the light fixtures is balanced with the mustard throw blanket and the yellow flowers in the art above the bed.
Rug Selection
A rug is a great way to add a pop of color to a room, and we love the way this mustard-colored rug looks against the gray walls in this bedroom. The gray and mustard color scheme is carried throughout the room with the bedding, pillows, and artwork.
The mustard-colored rug is the perfect size to fill the space between the bed and the bench, and it adds just the right amount of color to the room. If you’re looking to add a little more mustard to your gray bedroom, a rug is a great place to start.
Mustard Decor Pieces
If you’re not ready to commit to a mustard comforter or even a set of mustard pillows, try adding a mustard decor piece to your bedroom. This can be a piece of wall art, a lamp, a chair, or even a rug.
The options are endless, and you can choose something that fits your style and budget.
DIY Projects
If you’re a fan of getting your hands dirty with a fun project, this is the perfect bedroom inspiration for you. We love the DIY headboard in this bedroom. It’s a beautiful way to add a custom piece to your bedroom.
If you’re not a huge fan of DIY, you can still add a custom piece to your room with a little bit of creativity. You can add a custom piece of art to your walls or even create a custom color palette with your bedding. The options are endless!
Layering Textiles
If you’re looking to create a cozy vibe in your bedroom, layering textiles is the way to go. This bedroom by @ourbarnesyard features a beautiful wool rug layered over the carpet and an assortment of throw pillows and blankets in the same color palette.
The key to layering textiles is to stick with a consistent color scheme, but feel free to mix patterns and materials. In this room, we see a mix of velvet, linen, wool, and cotton textiles, and it all works beautifully together.
Canopy Bed
This bedroom is the epitome of luxury. The high ceiling with paneling and the grand canopy bed make the space feel like a retreat.
The white and gray color scheme is warm and inviting, but the mustard curtains and bedspread add a pop of color that makes the room feel even more welcoming.
Accent Chairs
The perfect way to add a pop of color to any room is with a colorful accent chair.
Choose a chair with a fun pattern or pick a solid color that you love and use that chair as your jumping-off point for your bedroom decor.
We love how this mustard chair ties the whole room together!
Wall Décor
The best way to add a pop of color to a bedroom is with wall decor. In this case, a large, abstract painting in mustard yellow is the perfect way to tie everything together.
It works particularly well with the other colors in the room, such as the mustard throw pillow and the potted plant.
Bedding with Patterns
If you love to mix-and-match your bedding, then a gray and mustard color scheme is perfect for you.
Choose a patterned comforter and add in a few solid pillows to match. Then, you can add a few more patterns with smaller pillows.
Cushioned Headboard
This cushioned headboard is a very simple DIY project. You could even use a headboard from a twin bed to create this look. The cushioned headboard has a very soft and romantic vibe to it.
The mustard and gray accents in the room add a little bit of color to this otherwise neutral space.
Gallery Wall
One of the easiest ways to add a pop of mustard to your bedroom is with a gallery wall.
Choose a few mustard-colored prints to include in your gallery wall, or go with a color scheme that includes a variety of colors and then add one or two mustard prints to the mix.
Either way, a gallery wall is a great way to add a pop of color to your bedroom.
Natural Elements
Incorporating natural elements into your bedroom design can help you create a soothing space that feels like a true retreat. This bedroom does that beautifully with a wood headboard and nightstand.
The wood tones are a beautiful contrast to the mustard and gray color scheme, and they add a sense of warmth to the space.
