I am getting the interior of my house painted. My bedroom currently has a chair rail painted white with light blue above the rail and a brighter blue on the bottom. I was on the Kelly Moore website and found a beautiful hush gray for above the  rail and a color called porpoise fin which is a bit darker gray. Does anyone have a gray bedroom and do you like it?

Sorry, but I'd never have anything in my house painted gray.  Reminds me of prisión walls.  Very institutional looking.

I am actually partial to grays!  I think it is so easy to add accent colors/prints in your bedspread, pillows, draperies, etc.  OP, that combo sounds great!

I had a gray bedroom for a long time. I found it very quiet and soothing. It's a wonderful neutral and it is not depressing. Calm atmosphere for sleeping and relaxing, and reflects light from a bedside lamp in a cozy way. I used bedding for color, with darker quilts, blankets, sheets in blues or garnet reds in fall and winter and the pastels or brights in summers.  

Your color picks sound very appealing. I think you'll like it and won't be bored or thinking it's drab. I think gray is a good change from neutral beige or ecru and very harmonious for curtains, bedding or lamps to offset the neutral. Keep lighting soft, is my suggestion. 

If it matters at all, I eventually made my bedroom full of blues and I enjoy that now. It suits me now to sleep in a blue room. But I painted my kitchen walls a soft gray. It has crisp white cabinets, white appliances, and a grey, weathered-wood look vinyl planked floor. It's practical, pretty, and maybe a little unusual for a kitchen color, though gray is popular now. 

If you're drawn to a gray bedroom, go for it. You'll like it right away.

We just had the whole interior of our home painted and chose a light Gray for our master bedroom and 1 of our guest bedroom's and I am very happy with the decision to use gray.

We have light gray in our bedroom and l love it.  It is very neutral and makes it easy to change bedding colors.

@gizmogal Thanks for the encouragement. I have trouble with second guessing myself.I have used pastels in the past but now I want neutrals. I am going by the store tomorrow to see the colors in person.

There are so many beautiful shades of gray.  I checked out the site...the Hush Gray is very pale & pretty, & to me looks warm.. The Porpoise Fin looks a little cool to me, but you will be able to tell better in person. Will you be getting samples to try out on your wall?

I am partial to grays with a purple undertone. I love how it looks with purples & lavenders.

I've seen a lot of gray sheets & bedding so gray is a popular color for bedrooms

@tipsy I probably won't try it on the wall but I will check out other grays to see if I like something different than porpoise fin. I had a flood in October, asbestos was foiund and had to be removed so now the interior is being restored. I have picked out beautiful engineered wood flooring in a warm maple. So glad to get rid of all the old carpets.

The Hush Gray will probably look beautiful with the warm maple floor..
