Crisp silver and white

The quiet iridescence of silver is a beautiful accompaniment to stark white walls.

Whether you choose to add hints of monochrome or opt for a pure white finish, don’t forget texture. Incorporating additional tactile elements is a crucial step to ensure dimension when pairing white and silver.

From oh-so touchable bouclé to sweeping velvet or even mirrored surfaces, texture ensures a touch of cosiness. This prevents cool neutral tones from looking flat, breaks up monochromatic layers and adds depth to your look.

Oh-so stylish silver and beige

Earthy and subtle, beige brings out silver’s hidden warmth.

Sandy hues shine when paired with metallic tones, which make silver and beige a perfect match. The rising popularity of ‘greige’ – an on-trend midpoint between grey and beige – has shown once and for all that neutral tones can work together to create depth and dimension. Say goodbye to the dreary days of classic magnolia! Introduce touches of gold for extra warmth as well as plenty of soft furnishings, particularly those with a hint of sheen.

Glamorous chrome

Choosing a bed frame with gleaming metal accents adds just a dash of silver to your suite.

Our Enzo bed is the perfect choice for doing just that, with plush velvet upholstery and slanted pewter-tone legs. The luxurious fabric contrasts beautifully with the sleek metal, creating a stylish and modern look that’s sure to impress. Pair it with soft beige or greige bedding to enhance the metallic shimmer and create a super cosy atmosphere.

Brass tones

Add a romantic charm with muted brass tones.

For muted metal, look no further than our Hatti bed. Its charming brass shade adds a characterful, charming feel to your bedroom, pairing beautifully with soft greys and pinks. Brass tones provide a subtle warmth that complements subtle hues, creating a serene space that you’ll love to unwind in. Enhance this look with gold accents and soft furnishings for a truly cohesive design.

Subtle industrial influences

Embrace industrial chic with understated metal elements.

For many of us, exposed metal means industrialism. So if you’d prefer to steer clear of bright silver, why not nod to this trend with a black metal or a statement wooden bed? Our industrial-style beds feature rustic wood and metal details, perfect for those seeking a more subdued take on the metallic trend. Pair with neutral grey walls and soft textiles to balance the industrial elements with a touch of comfort. Looking for more ways to achieve this stylish look? Dive into our guide on industrial bedroom tips.

The plush velvet upholstery adds a touch of softness, while the silver details provide a modern edge. This combination of textures and tones creates a luxurious bedroom retreat.

Is silver a good choice for the bedroom?

Grey has long been heralded as a beacon of interior design versatility, and silver carries many of the same qualities. This highly reflective colour will bounce light around your bedroom to enhance the feeling of space in the room. Depending on how you style it, it can embody all that’s dark and mysterious or create a light and playful atmosphere – so yes, it’s versatile!

In colour theory, grey is the epitome of neutrality and balance. For many, it brings a calming quality to the bedroom. Unsurprisingly, it’s also easy to pair with a variety of other colours…

What colours complement silver?

Silver belongs in the grey colour family. Therefore, starting with complementary tones for classic grey is a worthwhile exercise. As grey is a neutral colour, it can pair with up to four others to create your perfect palette.

As a starting point, consider whether you’re seeking a moody, organic, or ethereal feel in your bedroom. With grey, the possibilities are endless! Check out our article on colours that pair well with grey for an in-depth rundown of harmonious shades.

Silver is distinct from grey, however, in the way it interacts with other colours. Silver’s reflective hue means it illuminates the colours it’s paired with, particularly light and pastel shades that bring out its iridescent qualities. At the other end of the spectrum, rich jewel tones shine when paired with silver, particularly those with a cooler undertone such as green, blue or purple.
