10+ Bedroom Sets Shown in Modern Gray Stains

Photographed in Midnight Slate gray, the Lyon bedroom set is the perfect example of incorporating traditional style but placing a modern twist. For example, look to the bed; while it has four posts (a classic design choice), these are thin and taper to a point for a contemporary feel. 

Choose the bed with or without the four posts, and accompany it with a range of different storage options. Our favorite? The full-sized Lyons Armoire, with a clothing rod, adjustable shelves, and even specialized shoe shelves.

While the first bedroom set showed a solid, thick gray for a consistent aesthetic, the Pasco Bedroom Set is stained gray in a way that spotlights the wood’s natural grain. Moreover, it shows how a sharp two-tone contrast can make gray tones pop, for a highly modern look. 

The Pasco Bedroom Set offers seven different pieces designed with contemporary simplicity that can make the wood’s organic qualities the true star. Made with a subtle tapering effect, the legs of each furniture piece elevate the bodies to provide a visual airiness that can make bedrooms feel bigger.

Stained in Earthstone gray, the Calabasas Bedroom Set merges modern and traditional design elements for a look that has universal appeal. Straight lines, two-toned touches, and thicker square legs feel contemporary, while the eye-catching paneling pays homage to classic decor themes. Mix and match eight different bedroom set pieces of varying sizes and functions, ranging from nightstands with open shelving to a tall armoire. 

We chose to highlight the Naomi Bedroom Set for many reasons: it features the beautiful, nuanced textures of rough sawn maple, includes on-trend dressers without handles, and is made using unparalleled Amish woodworking techniques. However, the reason that excited us the most is that the Naomi Bedroom Set does a wonderful job showing Pewter, a gray stain that has warm undertones. Often, we associate gray with cooler color schemes, blocking ourselves off from a greater spectrum of possibilities.

Next, let’s take a look at how a gray stain can modernize farmhouse-style furniture, as shown with the Papillion Bedroom Set. The bedframe’s decorative wood paneling feels rustic, reminiscent of barn doors. However, when stained in gray, it takes on new dimensions that would enable the bed to seamlessly integrate with metal or glass accents, modern art pieces, and other modern design choices. 

The Papillion Bedroom Set has a lot to offer homeowners, regardless of whether you order it with a gray stain. Opt to have the bed with or without built-in storage, and select from six different styles of chests of drawers.

Throughout this piece, we’ve emphasized that gray lends a certain modernity to a bedroom set. However, this color ultimately is quite versatile and, with the right furniture, can accommodate more traditional looks as well. Take, for example, the Canal Fulton Bedroom Set shown with a weathered gray stain; its brass handles, intricately turned feet, and the bed’s shapely upholstered headboard could feel right at home in a French Country decor theme. 

Our point? gray can add a fresh take to an otherwise traditional bedroom set, making it feel more contemporary without undermining its classic decorative charms.

Simplicity can be bold and beautiful, as exhibited by the effortlessly modern Tarrant Bedroom Set. Shown in Dusty Trail gray, it embraces clean silhouettes and smooth surfaces with the exception of striking black metal accents. Shoppers can choose handles that mimic the black corner pieces or add new visual dimensions with pulls of differing shapes and colors. Regardless, the look will feel crisp and reflect 21st-century style.

The Druids Hills Bedroom Set features an element not featured anywhere else on this list of live-edge surfaces. As we explain in our guide to live edge furniture, this term refers to natural edges of wood that preserve the unique contours and character of the tree from which it was sourced. While live edges can sometimes include the tree’s bark, we opt to remove it for increased longevity and utility. 

Embracing the wood’s organic nature within the furniture set’s surfaces and accents breathes character into each of the bedroom pieces. And, in our humble opinion, staining the surrounding wood a shade of gray is the perfect way to make the brown pop.

Embrace your nature-loving side with the rough sawn maple Hempstead Rustic Bedroom Set, photographed in Overcast gray stain. You’ll love this set for its wealth of industrial-inspired touches, as well as the many practical features, from the door chest’s adjustable shelving to the soft-close undermount slides.

For a softer take on rustic farmhouse decor, look to the Bald Knob Bedroom Set displayed in Midnight Slate gray. Designed with mission-inspired silhouettes and vertical paneling in the headboard, it feels both timeless and trendy. This furniture set incorporates seven different pieces large and small, from the slender nightstand to the 8-drawer dresser with an optional mirror affixed on top.
