Bedroom should be the most calming and relaxing place inside your home. And the best color that can help you to achieve this goal is gray.
Furthermore, this timeless color is a risk-free choice. You could never go wrong with gray, as it can fit perfectly for any decor style, be it modern, classic, rustic, contemporary, or vintage.
When decorating a bedroom with gray as its main palette, one of the most tricky jobs that we often face is to choose the perfect rug.
Things can be a lot more complicated for any bedroom that uses gray as its primary shade. As you may already know, this shade is often associated with boring, monotonous, or two-dimensional. And that’s why using a rug with a very similar gray tone to other furniture and elements inside the room is not a good idea.
On the other side, you can’t just use any vibrant or colorful rug with the hope of breaking the monotony. This kind of rug can look awkward when surrounded by gray elements, and this can make things even worse.
So, what color rug goes with gray bedroom?
Drawing from our designer’s experience, gray and gold, gray and blue, light gray, dark gray, and ivory are some of the best rug colors that will fit perfectly inside any gray bedroom. Using these rugs inside gray-themed bedroom will instantly evoke a sense of tranquility and timelessness, fostering a serene atmosphere conductive to relaxation and rest. They can also become a versatile foundation for incorporating other accent colors or patterns to make a lively and dynamic bedroom.
Read on as we will share with you all the 10 rug color ideas that will be a perfect addition to any gray bedroom.

When you decide to use gray as the main color for your bedroom, then most likely you are planning to make it look stylish and elegant. And there are no better ways to emphasize those vibes rather than using the gold accent.
Typically, you can add any gold touches by using furniture or decorative elements. But do you know that you can also add that glam and beauty using a rug?

In some cases, gray on gray is certainly not a good idea. However, if you want to create a harmonious look without making your space look flat, then you can go with any gray rug with a lighter tone compared with other gray elements around it.
