Colors For The Small Bedroom or Bathoom: Gray and Off-White Give An Exclusive Touch
The feel for such a room could be lightness, transparency, minimalism, calmness. An added theme could be placing the luxurious with simplicity. Pale gray is a neutral color and it enhances structures and surfaces beautifully: shimmering, silky textiles look superb when combined with rough linen; placing an exquisite silver vase full of white roses next to some decorative stones; a mother of pearl shell placed on an old pewter dish.
A rhythm of gray and white can be repeated throughout the small bedroom: the walls can be painted in a light gray; ceiling, doors and window frames in off-white. Bed linen can be in off-white with gray trimmings or the other way round, gray with white accents. Textiles with plaids, stripes or florals look extremely refined when kept in gray and off-white. Because gray is very relaxing for the eye and neutral in its appearance, mixing and matching patterns will never be overwhelming in this color scheme.

Wall decoration can continue on the theme of transparency and lightness: pictures of sailing boats with their white sails against a gray horizon of the ocean and sky in the early morning; photos of beautiful white doves in flight, looking like ballet dancers; animals that have furs in these hues. There are endless themes that express a sense of effortless movement and transparency in this color scheme, and can be chosen according to your own interests.
This color scheme is extremely versatile, and will lend itself beautifully to a romantic theme, minimal expression or a country look. Whatever style is desired, gray and off-white combinations and contrasting elements, will always lead to an extremely elegant refinement, adding style to your small bedroom.
