What grey curtains are best for.
Grey sits naturally alongside whites, taupes, and natural timber tones, adding visual weight to a room without competing with other elements.
A mid-toned grey creates a restful, pared-back atmosphere in a bedroom, particularly when paired with a blockout or thermal lining for better sleep.
Grey works across a wide range of interior styles, from Scandi-influenced spaces to more contemporary NZ homes with concrete and steel details.
Pair grey curtains with a sheer or roller blind on a dual track for full light and privacy control throughout the day.

Is grey right for your space?
Grey reads very differently depending on the undertone and the light in your room. A cool-toned grey can feel stark in a south-facing room, while a warm greige can add exactly the right softness. Your local consultant assesses your room and brings many samples. Request a consultation and they'll help you find the right shade.

Frequently asked questions
Are grey curtains a good idea?
Grey is one of the most versatile curtain colours available, working across a wide range of interior styles and room types. The key is choosing the right tone for your specific room and light conditions. Your consultant will help you get that right.
What shade of grey curtains should I choose?
The right shade depends on your room's light direction, wall colour, and the mood you want to create. Lighter greys suit smaller or south-facing rooms, while deeper charcoals work better in well-lit spaces. Your consultant will bring a range of samples and advise on the best fit.
Do grey curtains go with everything?
Grey is one of the most complementary curtain colours, pairing well with white, navy, blush, green, and natural timber tones. Your consultant can assess your existing interior and confirm whether the grey you are considering will work with your specific palette.
What rooms suit grey curtains?
Grey works well in living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices. It is particularly effective in rooms with a neutral or Scandi-influenced palette where you want texture and depth without a strong colour statement.
Do grey curtains make a room look bigger or smaller?
Lighter greys can make a room feel airy and open, while deeper charcoals add intimacy. Your consultant will assess your room's size and light before recommending the right tone.
Can grey curtains be custom-made in NZ?
Yes. All Russells grey curtains are custom-made to your exact measurements in our Nelson workroom, backed by our Guaranteed Perfect Fit.
What fabric works best for grey curtains?
It depends on the room and the look you are after. Linen and linen-look fabrics offer a relaxed, textured feel in grey, while heavier weaves and velvets create a more formal and dramatic effect. Your consultant will bring samples across the range during the in-home visit.
What colours go with grey curtains?
Grey pairs naturally with white, warm timber tones, blush, navy, and muted greens. Your consultant brings samples and can help you see how the grey sits alongside your walls, flooring, and furniture in your actual space.
Are curtains a good choice if we’ve got kids or pets?
They’re one of the safest choices you can make. Curtains don’t need cords or chains to work, so there’s nothing dangling for little hands or curious paws. We’d steer you away from cord controls — and if you’d rather not draw them by hand (which can mark the fabric over time), a wand or automation keeps things easy and safe. Just ask and we’ll talk you through it.
