While it's fair to say that the word "gray" has gotten a pretty bad rap—"drab," "dreary" and "desolate" are among the synonyms you'll find in a thesaurus—we're here to tell you that when it comes to bedrooms, gray is nothing short of transformative. From palest pearl to deep charcoal, there's a right shade of gray for every decor style imaginable, be it rustic, modern, coastal or classic. Its chameleon-like quality also makes it an ideal backdrop for other hues—rich jewel tones, perky pastels—but we also love it in a tone-on-tone neutral palette. For proof that you can't go wrong with gray, take a look at these 25 stunning bedrooms from the pages of House Beautiful.

Elegant

Rather than wallpaper the guest bedroom of their Montreal apartment, Maxime Vandal and Richard Ouellette—the founders of design-and-construction firm Les Ensembliers—cut and framed panels of Zoffany wallcovering to hang on the soft gray walls.

Dusky

To combat the bright light that pours into his California cottage's bedroom ("you almost need sunglasses 24 hours a day"), Stephen Shubel opted for a no-fail combination of charcoal walls and blackout curtains. The faux-book wallpaper creates the illusion of more space.

Light and Bright

A neutral-toned bedroom by Frances Merrill of Reath Designs captures Ojai, California's laid-back vibe. "This couple made it clear that they wanted a very calm bedroom," she says. "It's quiet, but with a focus on texture. It really does feel like such an escape."

Nautical

Featuring shiplap walls and brass ladder, the same California house's bunk room—which sleeps seven—feels like the interior of a ship (with a surfer-chic twist, that is).

Global

Vern Yip punched up this Florida guest house's gray-and-tan color palette with pops of citrine yellow inspired by his travels."It's a color you see all over the world, from India and Thailand to Portugal and France," he says. "It's joyful and happy, which is exactly how you want to feel at a beach house!"

Textured

Celebrity designer Jeff Andrews chose a textured wallcovering for actress Kaley Cuoco's guest bedroom. "She wanted it to be really cozy—beautiful, comfortable bedding, and nothing too fussy—with good doses of both masculinity and femininity," he says. "Kaley's a lover of wallpaper, and we used it in nearly every room in the house."

New Traditional

"Classic pieces, clean lines and subtle patterns" were the keywords used by designers Kirsten Fitzgibbons and Kelli Ford to describe this New York apartment. They chose a contemporary floral wallpaper in pale, taupe-y gray for the master bedroom, pairing it with a gingham check "to keep the floral from feeling too feminine."

Glamorous

Zoffany's Snow Blossom wall fabric was the starting point for this bedroom designed by Ann Pyne of McMillen, Inc. for her decorator mother, Betty Sherrill. "The idea was simply to make the room glamorous for her," says Pyne, who pulled the bed's bright pink tones from the birds and butterflies.
