Most of us want our bedrooms to be tranquil spaces where it’s easy to unwind, so why not consider layering up muted hues of pink and grey? Pale salmon, a peachy or cloudy pink teamed with powder greys and a neutral background are winning combinations. Want to know more? Just check out these gorgeous bedrooms for inspiring ideas.

1. Keep it natural
White walls and bedsheets provide a clean backdrop for pale pink and grey linens in this dreamy sleep space. What really makes the room, though, are the bedside table and wicker basket, which help to warm up the cool tones in the rest of the room. The natural, textured surfaces also help to bring out the cosy feel of the linen.

2. Think about tone
The greys and blacks used on the bed could have ended up looking quite sombre. However, the pink accessories and blue-grey walls completely change the space. The tones of these two colours are uplifting and add energy to the space.

This room illustrates how important it is to think about the scheme as a whole. Each colour in the room helps to enhance the others.

3. Make it modern
A full-on pink and grey scheme can be cool and contemporary as this room proves. The designers have accessorised with geometrical-shaped rose-gold lighting and a black-and-white print to evoke a modern vibe. The room still feels cosy and relaxed, though – probably due to the sheepskin rug, padded bedhead and brushed-linen bedding. The shutters and vintage-style radiator add some period charm, too.

4. Introduce a deep hue
Grey and pink are just two shades in this mixed scheme. The designers have surrounded the whole thing with deep blue panelling, which actually helps the pink and grey to pop out. The overall effect is luxurious and decadent – a true boudoir.

5. Stay cosy
This bedroom contains mainly neutral shades of grey and beige. The pink accents are very soft and tone in perfectly with the other colours. The room is anything but dull, as the designers have added interest by layering up patterns and textures but all in subtle shades as illustrated with the flowing curtain.

6. Bring in bleached wood
A playful palette of powder pinks and pale greys looks both calm and quirky in this sleep space. Once again, natural materials have helped to warm up the room. This time, mainly in the form of bleached panels that make a standout bedhead.

7. Paint the shutters
Have some fun in your bedroom by introducing unexpected elements. In this room, the windows have been enhanced with painted pink shutters that tie in with the rest of the colour scheme. If you’re worried that a lot of pink will look too much, add some black accessories to give it an edge. Here, they’ve draped a black throw over the corner of the bed.

8. Go classic
This grey and beige bedroom forms a neutral backdrop to just a few salmon and peach cushions. The hues all work together to make this a grown-up space with a timeless quality. The formal look is enhanced with the buttoned bedhead and tucked-in blanket.

9. Try dark wood
This bed space is wonderfully airy with wall-to-wall glazing and an open-plan layout. To make the sleeping zone cosy, the designers have teamed pink and grey bedding with a wood panelled wall and ceiling. The deep tones in the wood bring out the warm hues of the pink linen, and the burgundy cushions tie in with the wood grain.

10. Finish with some mint
What’s another subtle, cool shade to add to your pink and grey bedroom scheme? Mint. It’s the ideal hue to ace a calm feel. Here, a wall of ‘trees’ frames the bed and adds a lovely hint of mint to the space. This wallpaper adds depth to the room, but a wall painted in mint would work just as well.
