45 Best Bedroom Paint Colors 2023

1

Deep Red

Heidi Caillier

In this warm yet polished bedroom designed by Heidi Caillier, bewitching red walls set a romantic mood. The accent pillow features a more neon shade of red that brightens up the space while still keeping it calm, cozy, and just a touch mysterious.

Red Lacquer

FRITZ VON DERSCHULENBURG

High-energy yet calming, bold yet timeless, this jaw-dropping bedroom designed by Brian J. McCarthy is serious goals. For a similar effect, stick to a tight two-color story with the walls in a show-stopping super high gloss paint and your ceiling in a flat white paint. "This finish feels fresh for a guest room, and the surprising pop of color is both warm and chic," he says.

Bright Red Accents

ALISON GOOTEE

Or, reverse the look and opt for bright white walls and bold red bedding, artwork, and floors. The high-impact combo in this bedroom by Anthony Baratta is all the convincing we need.

Bubble Gum Pink

Anna Spiro Design

Too outrageous? No such thing. Bright bubblegum pink is a fearless choice. In this bedroom by Anna Spiro, it asserts a youthful spirit to balance out the traditional pieces, like the dresser and tight floral patterns.

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.

Petal Pink

Gaines

Here's another beautiful bedroom making a strong case for blush. Designed by Chip and Joanna Gaines, one of the primary goals of this home renovation was to honor its historical significance. One of the ways they did so was by preserving the existing fireplaces. In this bedroom, the original fireplace remains, but the room gets a fresh update with pretty petal pink paint. A classic oil painting and antique decor nod to the past while the flower sconce embraces the present.

Peach

Stephen Paul

"The bedroom gets great light throughout the day, so we wanted to go for a peachy color on the walls that would give it a nice glow with the sunlight," Ring explains. The bedroom "feels layered in a comfortable way but not too busy—[you] feel very serene when you’re in the room," Ring says. She also wove some of the client's existing pieces into the design. The pillow, for example, was custom-made out of one of her old vintage quilts and the plexiglass butterfly artwork brings a tough of whimsy.

Salmon

Avery Cox

The missing piece for this room was the rug, designer Avery Cox says. It helps tie together the paint colors, a light blue for the walls, and a sort of star-fish orange tone for the moldings and door. Deeper and more saturated shades of blue and yellow as well as ruddier shades of pink help contrast, too.

BUY NOW Benjamin Moore Salmone Run, $99

9

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.

10

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

11

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.

BUY NOW Benjamin Moore Gingerbread Man, $43

12

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

13

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.

14

Ochre and Teal

SIMON WATSON

Designer Peter Dunham created a custom curtain wall and installed bedside sconces to give this small bedroom a regal feel. The mustard accent wall mirrors the upholstered headboard and warms up the room.

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball India Yellow, $110

15

Cornsilk

Heidi Caillier

A pale yellow door sets the tone for the warm and neutral bedroom designed by Heidi Caillier. The other door is painted a light sage green tone, while the moldings are given a coat of chocolate brown. Because the colors are kept contained to smaller surface areas, they work together instead of clashing.

16

Marigold

Joshua McHugh

This bedroom proves just how beautiful marigold can look with navy blue and olive green. This sunny shade also works nicely when you incorporate accent pieces with metallic finishes for a glamorous aesthetic. Think bronze pendant lights and stools with interesting frames. These finishes accentuate yellow's shining personality.

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.

Butter Yellow

James Merrell

Designed by Kathryn M. Ireland, these white-painted wicker twin beds are topped with mosquito net canopies for an ethereal touch. The rose-printed canopy toppers offer a slight contrast in pattern but keep the color story consistent, and the yellow walls anchor the entire space.

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Farrow's Cream, $110

Green and Gold

Roland Bello

Instead of paint, consider lush green upholstery and illustrious wallpaper. Miles Redd makes a strong case for the design combo in this breathtaking and colorful bedroom. De Gournay's hand-painted silk Sans Souci wallcovering lays the foundation for a bright green paradise to come alive.

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Verdigris Green, $110

20

Sage Green

2LG Studio

Instead of painting your walls, add a statement ceiling in the bedroom, as the design duo at 2LG Studio did here. It draws the eye up and keeps things interesting. This shade of sage green is also a lovely color that's at once grounding, calming, and fun.

BUY NOW Behr Marquee Fern Leaf, $46

21

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

22

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.

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Calke Green, $110

23

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

24

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.

Dark Teal

Landed Interiors

A calming and rich shade of paint inspires rest in this San Francisco bedroom designed by Landed Interiors. If you're looking for a warmer shade of blue or wondering how to warm up cooler blue, look no further.

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.

Steel Blue

Read McKendree

In a room by Elizabeth Cooper, this steel blue gray paint color brings a posh sensibility to the more whimsical floral details for a nice balance. The color will flatter a variety of styles and designs as bedding and decor are swapped out over the years, too. she used Farrow & Ball's Hauge Blue.

Cobalt Blue

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.

Crisp Light Blue

Eric Piasecki

Here's definitive proof that primary colors go together nicely. This bedroom designed by Robin Henry is a breath of fresh air, thanks to the invigorating blue paint—the varying shades of blue throughout the room make it look like it's glowing.

Mint Green

Trevor Tondro

Paired with a slightly more pistachio-hued upholstered headboard and a retro-style crocheted coverlet, this bedroom designed by J. P. Horton belongs in the summer getaway home of our dreams. The traditional landscape painting and warm wood side chair ground the space and work beautifully with the mint green paint.

BUY NOW Behr Premium Plus Ultra Soft Mint, $35

31

Sky Blue

Eric Piasecki

Though this shade of blue in a bedroom by Ellie Cullman definitely makes a statement, it doesn't overpower the space nor overwhelm the eye—that's because it's consistent and surrounded by classic accents and refined furnishings. We love how it mimics the sky applied ina high gloss on the ceiling.

BUY NOW Behr Marquee Skylark, $58

32

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

33

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

34

Greige

David Mitchell

If you think crisp all-white interiors look too stark but still like the look and feel of light neutrals, opt for warm oat-y creams or layers of soft, smoky grays. The results are edgy and industrial yet gentle and understated. Take note of this beautiful neutral bedroom designed by Rupp Studios.

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Skimming Stone, $110

35

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. In this versatile bedroom designed by Corey Damen Jenkins, the far wall is painted in a light sandy beige hue, marrying the cooler blues, whites, and grays with the warmer wood and cream tones as well as the brass accents.

BUY NOW Farrow & Ball Mouse's Back, $110

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.

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.

And for our final stop on this tour of bedroom colors, we're presenting you with a whole new world of options: Wallpaper. This bedroom isn't just a living space, it's a work of art. Our eyes are immediately drawn to the hypnotizing black painted stripes that trace the architectural DNA of the house itself, beautifully modernizing the bones of the Victorian home decorated by Martyn Lawrence Bullard. The moody, lush throw pillow and end blanket add just a splash of color, which is really all you need in a space like this.

While we often think of bright whites and crisp, light hues when trying to open up a smaller space, there's also a strong case for going darker. In fact, inkier tones are known to amplify smaller spaces. Not to mention, it sets the right mood in the bedroom. The soft black paint color in this bedroom makes it feel special and intimate in ways you'd never be able to achieve with a lighter hue.

8 ready-made solutions for decorating bedroom walls in pastel colors (and interior decor options)

Paint, wallpaper, plaster, wall painting, silk panels, textile and 3D panels, as well as actual combinations of various techniques - in our review.

Publication date: 06/01/2020

Material prepared: Julia Sakharova

1. Paint: classic and innovative


Combine classic and modern techniques to give the interior character. For example, in the bedroom designed by Maria and Nikita Bakharev, the soft green hue that paints the walls, cornices, and moldings attracts attention. It partly levels out the massiveness of the cornices. The combination of a classic Empire style cornice and trendy pastel green paint looks very modern. But if you paint the moldings with a darker or lighter paint than the main one, it will draw them more clearly. nine0003

Authors of the project: Nikita and Maria Bakharev, Diana Rasskazchikova. Photo: Kirill Ovchinnikov.


In this room, the wall is finished with neoclassical moldings and decorated with milky white paint. This tone is ideally combined with the current powder tone of the headboard upholstery.

Try to break the wall plane into segments with only one painting, without moldings. Modern paint manufacturers have created collections of shades for every taste. See how sophisticated this technique looks with a pastel palette of shades. nine0003

2. Wallpaper: printed and plain

Wallpaper has long been a full-fledged competitor to paint: it makes the room look cozy, and besides, it is a quick way to transform the interior.

If you don't want wallpaper that is either plain or with a noticeable print, then a thin stripe is what you need.

Project author: Pavel Burmakin. Photo: Sergey Morgunov


Authors of the project: Nadezhda Chernigova, Yulia Kosareva. Photo: Dmitry Livshits. nine0003

Try taupe, considered one of the most elegant shades on the modern palette. By simply varying the lighter and darker tones, you can create a very harmonious interior.

Author of the project: Anastasia Dolgina. Photo: Sergey Ananiev.


Would you like a "porcelain box"? Use toile de jouis wallpaper in blue and white, like here.

Project author: Anzhelika Evdokimova. Photo: Dmitry Livshits


And if you want to create an atmosphere of tenderness in the bedroom, look at the floral ornaments. Gardens in the spirit of chinoiserie, bouquets of garden flowers always remain relevant. For a nursery, a more modern interpretation of the floral theme is also suitable - stylized flowers, as if drawn by a child.

3. Textile panels: comfort and luxury

Textile-trimmed panels are a technique spied on by decorators in the interiors of five-star hotels. In fact, it is good: it gives the bedroom chic and conciseness at the same time. nine0003

4. 3D panels

And this edgy trend comes from public interiors. Not everyone and not in every interior will decide on it. It is difficult to implement with taste. Here is an example of the effective use of such panels. nine0003

5. Stucco with interesting effects

For example, plaster with the effect of a velvety surface, which is finished on the wall in this bedroom with ethnic elements.

6. Painting

Artistic painting is what immediately makes the interior special and completely individual. Talented painting is something more than just a landscape, a panorama, a successful combination of shades.

7. Silk painting

Hand-painted silk panel - a special chic.

Author of the project: Ksenia Ivanova. Photo: Sergey Ananiev.


8. A combination of different techniques in one interior

Neutral wallpapers create an unobtrusive background. The headboard of the bed, covered with pastel striped silk, looks great. On this basis, you can create any pastel story, for example, in shades of grapes and mint.

Country-inspired headboard panels and matching wallpaper create a harmonious pair. nine0003

Project author: Pavel Burmakin. Photo: Sergey Morgunov


A good solution for a small bedroom: wallpaper, a custom-made upholstered headboard and a mirror. The mirror expands the space, while the wallpaper and the mirror do not allow it to be overly "cooled" and lose comfort.

A wallpaper combined with a textile headboard design looks boring and unusual. By the way, a pastel ornament can look bright, for example, if it combines sunny pastel yellow with blue. nine0003

Project author: Natalia Erdem. Photo: Sergey Krasyuk.


Already almost a classic solution: the accent wall is covered with wallpaper, the rest are painted. Choose textiles to match the main colors of the wallpaper.

Author of the project: Yulia Milovidova. Photo: Mikhail Stepanov.


An elegant solution: a combination of pale blue color and wallpaper with a pattern inspired by French historical embroidery.

Bonus: cozy decor details for bedroom

Let's take a look at atmospheric shots with interior details: they support the themes set by the wall decor and show how you can add extra comfort to a bedroom with just two or three strokes.

1. Tactile textile in the same color scheme as the walls.

2. Silk curtains, exactly matching the shades of paint, and accessories with metallic textures.

3. Curtains, armchairs, decorative pillows to match the painting.

4. Lamps, vases, other accessories to match the two basic pastel shades. nine0003

Project author: Anna Razumeeva-Smirnova. Photo: Eugene Kulibaba

5. Blue and white porcelain to complement blue and white wallpaper patterns.

We do not compete with textiles and combine correctly

The color of the walls in the bedroom is the background for the interior, not the main design accent. The bedroom has a lot of textiles that have their own color and texture, so competition should not be allowed. nine0003

  • Theory of colors: tone, shades and light
    • Color temperature
    • Interaction with light
  • Choice and combination of colors in the bedroom
    • Combination
      • : tone, shades and light

      Non-professional designers think that the main thing is colors. In fact, shades and tones are more important than , especially color temperature and interaction with light in the bedroom. nine0003

      Color temperature

      There are warm and cool colors, many people know this. To choose the color of the walls in the bedroom, it is much more important to know that there are warm and cold shades of colors. This is especially true of the most common background colors: white and gray. Despite the fact that these colors can be of different saturation, they are ideally combined with each other in any variations, except for one - color temperature.

      Do not use white and gray of different color temperatures in the same room. nine0003


      you can use as many shades of gray as you like in the bedroom, but they should all be either warm or cool. This is difficult to keep, because until you put two objects side by side, it is not always possible to understand in which direction the color is shifted. And this is the reason why the photos on the Internet are at odds with real designs in life. Even in a real photograph of the bedroom, the camera will not convey the difference in shades, as a result, everything looks cool in the photo, but not so much in real life. To avoid this difference, it is important to observe the above rule. nine0003


      Interaction with light

      In addition to taste preferences in color, it is worth considering the direction of the windows. If the windows face the north side, then it is better to choose warm colors, and cold and bright colors are suitable for the south side. It is also worth taking into account the size of the room, and use light colors to expand a small space.

      Bright colors look better in daylight, calm bed colors in artificial light . Think about what time you are most often in the bedroom, and what kind of lighting is used. Because most will answer that they are in the evening and the lighting is artificial, the standard choice for the bedroom is calm pastel colors.

      To create a calm, relaxing environment, too bright colors are unlikely to suit - they encourage and deprive of sleep, while calm ones, on the contrary, have a calming effect. Therefore, you need to immediately decide what task the bedroom interior will perform: to help in an early rise or to promote a quick fall asleep. nine0003


      When choosing the color of the walls for the bedroom, it is important to consider the combination with other surfaces in the room. It is worth thinking over the entire interior in advance, choosing colors and materials for the floor and ceiling, furniture and textiles, which are very numerous in the bedroom. It is better to paint the walls after you know what the furniture will be, since it is easier to change their color than to replace the furniture set.

      Wallpaper can interact very interestingly with color, we have already written about wallpaper for the bedroom.

      Choice and combination of colors in the bedroom

      As for the choice and combination of colors for the interior, we have a very cool material, the whole theory of colors and the principles of combination are all there, we will not duplicate here.

      Combination

      Having chosen one color as a base, it is combined with other shades to enliven and diversify a monotonous environment. Contrasting combinations look interesting. The most pronounced contrast is a combination of black and white, suitable for bold creative people. However, you should carefully fill the space with these colors, as there is a risk of getting a dark, uncomfortable bedroom. nine0003


      Current combinations:

      • White is combined with yellow, blue and rich green shades.
      • Browns, creams and yellows go well with lilac. This coloring of the walls gives the room consistency and comfort.
      • A combination of warm yellows and oranges with olive and brown shades looks stylish and bright.
      • Fashionable color scheme with coffee and caramel shades. nine0212
      • Cream with gray or deep chocolate color. A bedroom with walls in this color looks warm and cozy.
