A yellow wall set off by gray and black creates a bright bedroom.
Designing a bedroom with gray, yellow and black offers creative combinations of neutral black and gray with the primary color of yellow. Yellow walls and curtains increase the sense of space and light in a room, giving a bright fresh look. Light gray as a dominant color keeps a sense of light and spaciousness while exuding a cool quality. Black as a dominant color creates strong contrasts. Apartment Therapy reports that painting a tiny bedroom's walls black can make them "simply disappear."
Instructions
1. Make a list of the elements you want to include in the bedroom. These can include any existing art, furniture, and accessories such as lamps and plants. List new items you'd like to add to the room, such as framed art, curtains, an area rug, a vase and candles.
2. Measure any major pieces of furniture you're using or planning to use for the bedroom, including the bed, dresser, chest of drawers, chair, bench or storage chest. Write down the height and width of the windows if you need to buy window treatments to go with the new gray, yellow and black color scheme.
3. Arrange the bedroom with existing furniture that goes with your color scheme. Use any wooden and metal items you still like, such as chrome. These pieces are neutral and will work with gray, black and yellow.
4. Gray or black marble fits this color scheme.
Check how much room you have for any furniture you want to add to the room. If you want to add a gray armchair, measure the space where you want to put it. Allow 36 inches of clearance for major walkways in the bedroom, such as from the door to the bed and from the bed to the bathroom.
