Red Lacquer
FRITZ VON DERSCHULENBURG
High-energy yet calming, bold yet timeless, this jaw-dropping bedroom designed by Brian J. McCarthy is serious goals.

Blush Pink
Francesco Lagnese
If this whimsical bedroom doesn't make you blush, we don't know what will. "Exuberantly feminine, yet resolutely chic" was designer Jonathan Berger's motto for decorating this Brooklyn townhouse. Berger found the suzani on eBay, while and the curvy Venetian-inspired headboard is covered in Nouvelle Orleans, a cut velvet from Clarence House that resembles ironwork but, of course, is much softer to the touch. The antique Napoleon III rope ottoman covered in an Aubusson tapestry adds a French country chic feel to seal the deal.

Coral
Amy Neunsinger
Nothing quite radiates like joy like coral (as far as paint colors are concerned, at least). In this bedroom by Nicky Kehoe, it picks up the bright tones featured in the gallery wall while the trimming, which is a darker gray color, reflects the cooler neutrals in the bedding and accents. Under direct light, it appears brighter, while it mimics the more muted shade of terra cotta in dimmer or less direct light.

Peach
Anna Malmberg
In this Scandinavian studio, peachy blush walls contrast with with the high-impact black and white wall art. But that softness is reflected again in the jute rug and oat-hued linen bedding. Blush pink also pairs nicely with steel blue tones and even bright red for an unexpected contrast.
BUY NOW Behr Premium Plus Serene Peach, $28
7
Cream
Matthew Millman
Who says beige and cream are boring? Dependable, versatile, warm, and subtle, these neutrals are some of the best paint colors for a bedroom. A super light taupe shade will contrast just enough with crisp bright interiors while also injecting some warmth into the space. It also brings to mind long walks on a sandy beach. Add pops of cheerful colors with decor and throw pillows or keep it classic, as designer Richard Beard did here.
BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Dimity, $110

Caramel
Danielle Colding Design
Take a cue from this bedroom designed by Danielle Colding and match your upholstered headboard to the walls. Here, the studded boarder adds a touch of intrigue but blends right into the beige color behind it for a timeless look.

Terracotta
Paul Raeside
A Canadian townhouse's guest bedroom exudes warmth with terracotta walls. A large, statement piece of art helps break up the dark color. Though brown isn't exactly the most obvious paint color when decorating a bedroom, this warm nook makes a strong case for it. The fact that it's unexpected makes it perfect for anyone who likes to experiment with color but doesn't love bright neons and playful pastels.
BUY NOW PPG Timeless Deep Russet, $39

Chocolate Brown
Amelia Stanwix
With slightly less of the red clay undertone than the brown paint in the previous room, this color is more calming than it is energizing. Designer Fiona Lynch felt it was perfect for a bedroom. She used Rich Biscuit by Dulux and then mixed in some offbeat accents for an eclectic elegance.
BUY NOW Dulux Rich Biscuit Sample, $6

Ochre and Teal
SIMON WATSON

Lemon Yellow
STEPHEN KENT JOHNSON
It's always a good idea to consult the color wheel at every step of the decorating process. Knowing which colors complement one another will make everything easier, from ideating to shopping, and, of course, living within the final result. A good example of a job well done? This gray and yellow bedroom designed by Juan Carretero. There's no doubt that yellow represents cheer, so if you want to spread warmth and energy, this is the color for you. You'll love how the bright striped ceiling brings in a more playful element to the more traditional guest room.

Light Gray-Green
Shade Degges
"I wanted to create a bedroom full of personality," designer Jae Joo says of the main bedroom in this Boston Rowhouse. Though classic and understated, the room brims with character thanks to a shrunken photo gallery, curved furniture, and colorful accents. The light gray walls look blue in some lighting and green in others; either way, they're a welcome departure from the go-to white canvas most bedrooms feature.
BUY NOW Backdrop Lawn Party, $45

Khaki Green
Heidi Caillier Design
In this cabin designed by Heidi Caillier, the guest bedroom is painted a soothing, nature-inspired shade of green. It's fitting for the environment, and speaks to all the other accent colors used throughout the space for a nice cohesive whole.

Deep Earthy Green
Gieves Anderson
David Frazier took a moody and earthy approach in his New York City apartment bedroom. While the color (Studio Green from Farrow & Ball) is worth praising, it's also the texture-rich finish that elevates the walls. "We wanted to showcase the movement in the plaster, so we had the walls painted in a satin finish it gives a certain depth that we wouldn’t have been able to achieve with a flat paint.”
BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Studio Green, $115

Matte Marine
Stephen Kent Johnson
A matte version of that moody marine hue is also a great option and creates a softer atmosphere. Studio Shamshiri enveloped the entire room in the color, including the ceiling.

Deep Navy
STEPHEN KENT JOHNSON
Paint your walls a nice deep shade of navy and then punctuate the depth with crisp white accents and vibrant bedding for a balanced bedroom. In this space designed by Mally Skok, the playful patterns contrast nicely with the deep blue walls, giving the room a touch of levity.

High gloss paints are a surefire way to make a bold statement. In this bedroom designed by decorator Alisa Bloom, the rich, liquidy sheen of the finish bounces light around a dark room. She used Fine Paints of Europe’s Delft Blue 4003 in Hollandlac Brilliant to illuminate the entire bedroom.

Sky Blue
Trevor Tondro
Though this shade of blue definitely makes a statement, it doesn't overpower the space nor overwhelm the eye—that's because it's consistent. Since this bedroom is basically a cocoon of light blue, there's a strong sense of cohesion and personality. So if you have a favorite color, and don't see it changing any time soon, why not let it be theme of your bedroom?

Baby Gray Blue
Mikael Axelsson for Fantastic Frank
A soothing soft blue is a key ingredient for a peaceful bedroom. It adds an ethereal, dreamy quality to every space but also offers a ton of versatility, making it particularly well-suited for the bedroom. The linen bedding and makeshift side table accent chair contribute to that easy, undone elegance.
BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Lulworth Blue, $110

Crisp White
Tamsin Johnson Interiors
This bedroom is a showstopper, but it's also simple and timeless. And though some may say white is the absence of all colors, we'd argue this one is making quite a statement. In fact, sometimes neutral hues give the space a more timeless and open feel while also allowing other design highlights to stand out more. This bedroom by Tamsin Johnson marries classic architecture with contemporary style and the walls are painted in a pure, cool shade of white that really energizes the entire space.
BUY NOW Farrow & Ball All White, $110

Greige
Fantastic Frank

Light Lilac
Annie Schlechter
This lavender oasis designed by Cathy Chapman is proof that you can decorate with color while still being understated. Though it's bursting with shades of lavender, this little nook also exudes a calm, serene energy. The key is to stick to a color story of muted pastels. In this case, the designer worked within a purple spectrum while keeping things interesting with contrasting textures, shapes, and finishes.
BUY NOW Farrow & Wall Great White, $110

Deep Beige
WERNER STRAUBE
To warm up a bright bedroom without painting all the surfaces something other than classic white, cover one wall in a printed covering and another in a warm, neutral color.

Dusty Purple
Kingston Lafferty Design
Though purple and black don't seem like the most obvious pair for a grownup, calming bedroom, they actually work together brilliantly here. Kingston Lafferty Design accentuated the purple details in the shelf and bedding with a dusty, gray purple tone and then played up the cooler undertones with sharper black metal accents.
BUY NOW Benjamin Moore Raspberry Ice, $47
33
Royal Purple
Bjorn Wallander
Window treatments will make a bedroom more comfortable for lazy morning sleep-ins, but if your room is super bright, a deep shade of royal purple on an accent wall like Krsnaa Mehta did here will help absorb light while still adding vibrant personality.

If you want to keep color from overpowering your space or you simply want to give your room a little more shape, color blocking is your solution. There are plenty of ways to play with this design trend, from more subtle and simple toning treatments to full on murals. This bedroom designed by GRT Architects is somewhere in between. If you like what you see, try painting your paneling and leaving the walls light. Then opt for a low-to-the-ground bed to show it off even more.

For a thoroughly special bedroom paint color, look no further than this bedroom designed by Atelier ND, where the walls are painted in Pontefract by Paint & Paper Library. The unique hue defies definition (but if we had to try, we'd say it's a purplish-reddish black)—which is one of the many reasons the design team chose it. The pendants were sourced from an old church and a Vispring bed is upholstered in pink Pierre Frey mohair.

6 Best Colors for a Small Bedroom
Intimacy is best for a bedroom. A small room creates the effect of a nest or a cocoon, helps to relax, get cozy and feel in warm comfort. It is easier to create a cozy interior for sleeping in a small area than in a large one.
Despite the popular belief that small spaces should be bright, there is no universal color that suits everyone. Different people will suit their shades, depending on perception or temperament.
1 Pure white
White expands the space, making it clean and airy. A room in white seems untouched, serene, filled with light. But we advise you to add a few furnishings to it in your favorite moderate shade to smooth out the innocence and sterility.

3 Natural Colors
For those who don't like color but don't like sterile white, decorating with coatings of natural elements or their imitations is suitable. Wood and all its shades are well suited for the bedroom, creating a calming effect. Textured plaster for concrete or cement in combination with warm wood will create a contrast of sensations, but eliminate the need to make a color accent. Such bedrooms are suitable for lovers of eco-direction, loft, minimalism.

10 expert tips — INMYROOM
The bedroom is one of the most private rooms in the apartment. Here a person is immersed in an atmosphere of relaxation and peace. Nothing should distract, annoy or create discomfort.
Achieve The right choice of colors will help to create an ideal relaxing effect. We were told how to choose it and what you should pay special attention to experts - architect Filipp Kitsenko and designer Tatyana Kostryukova.
Architect. Born and grew up in Belgorod. Graduated from BSTU. Shukhov with a degree in architecture. AT 2011 was an internship at the design studio "Nabito Architects" (Barcelona). She has over 7 years of experience in design and architecture.
In 2010 he founded a design studio "AuRoom". Philip Kitsenko successfully implemented more than 70 projects in various fields: interior, architecture, landscape.
Probably no secret that bedrooms are best decorated in soft, soothing colors. It creates comfort and relaxed atmosphere. All this is true, but do not forget that in the bedrooms we should not only fall asleep peacefully, but also wake up cheerfully, features, we will consider the tricks and nuances of design for bedrooms with an unusual approach to design.
Tip #1: bright elements
Don't be afraid of bright colors at all elements. It can be as large wall surfaces, for example, in the form photo wallpapers, frescoes or panels, as well as very slight accents in the form of textiles or decor. It all depends on the size of the bedroom.
Small spaces up to 12 square meters meters, it is better to use accents in small quantities, otherwise you can go too far with a large bright element and then your resting place will turn into additional hangout space. Therefore, one or two paintings in bright colors, on against the backdrop of an unpretentious pastel-colored wallpaper pattern, quite enough for maintaining the right mood.
Tip #2: Don't be afraid of dark shades
Don't be afraid to use it dark and dull colors in the interior, for example, dark brown or even dark coal, preferably not glossy surfaces, but as dense as possible and deep pattern. Later, this dark side of your bright ideas can be beat with directional light and you will have intimate in the room at the same time muffled, but not so much as to lose completely in a fit of passion partner.
Tip #3: Personal preference
Again, it all depends on the guest. room, his way of life and character. A bachelor rogue will almost certainly want use authentic materials in the form of leather on walls or brick in dark colors to give your bedroom a secret allure.
A granny in her 70s is probably not disdain silk light wallpaper and soft, for example, light green textiles to make the bedroom more pompous and graceful, although all this is exclusively a matter of individuals.
To match colors those that suit you the most, it is worth, first of all, to carry out a small analysis of yourself today and in the future for 7 years. Consider the nuances your wishes in style, the total area of the bedroom and orientation rooms on the cardinal points (this is an important factor that cannot be take into account).
Tip #4: cardinal directions
You can safely take a pencil in your hand and paper and write down the points according to the style that you like best. By flowers try to print several combinations that would suit you and immediately to exclude a combination of greenish-yellow, burgundy and gray tones from the project, if you have windows facing north or west and bluish, pink and brown if the windows face east or south.
The point is that these shades most often in the rays of sunset / sunrise are less attractive and can create unpleasant atmosphere of pollution and premises. They can oppress you so much that you every evening you will delay the moment of falling asleep until the full sunset or on the contrary, waking up in the morning, to see your bedroom not in the most attractive form. All because of the ascending rays, combined with the chosen colors of the walls. Because of what, stress, fatigue and chronic lack of sleep.
All these shades are better of course not apply on large wall surfaces, small inserts may well have place and even favorably emphasize the details of the interior.
Tip #5: How to quickly fix deficiencies
If the bedroom already has combinations flowers, because of which you feel out of your element, can be small cost to try to organize decorative lighting. Direct her right on those areas that have dirty shades in the light of the rays, thereby you can "interrupt" with artificial lighting, natural lighting.
The eye can also be distracted from disadvantageous light with bright accents in the form of textiles, pillows, decor, or simply beautiful girl (buff guy if you're a girl) with a glass of champagne on the bed, in the petals of white roses, which will certainly distract your eye from incongruous shades, and from wallpaper with an inorganic pattern, and, of course, from orientation relative to the cardinal directions.

Tip #1: Calm palette
Best for the bedroom the solution is to use pastel colors, a neutral palette of shades as a general background of the room. But, at the same time, neutral colors should be warm. They will give a feeling of warmth and comfort in winter, and by increasing the predominance bleached and white textiles, and lighter in texture, you can to achieve the effect of airiness for the summer and warm seasons.
Tip #2: attention to detail
As for pure colors and loved ones shades to them, it is better to avoid them or use them as bright accents bedroom interior, in the form of oversized accessories and details. them, at necessary, can be hidden or replaced based on the current season, time year, mood and color preferences.
