When done correctly, pink and green can lend a vintage, timeless feel to a bedroom like in this space from end_of_the_row. Opt for muted shades of green (think sage or olive) and barely there pinks (like blush or rose) to keep the color scheme feeling suitable for adults.

Red, Blue, and Yellow

Primary colors aren't always easy to work with due to their boldness. But when you use red, blue, and yellow in moderation, they can create a comfortable color palette for a bedroom. This color scheme works well in a bedroom where the wall and floor colors are similar shades, so the whole space doesn't feel too color-blocked.

Gray and White

Gray and white is a popular color scheme for good reason. It's simple, it can fit many decor styles, and it can accommodate most accent colors.

Navy and Taupe

Like navy and white, navy and taupe is a classic color pairing that will stand the test of time. In this case, the taupe makes the color scheme a little more chic than basic white, and it warms up the space. Gold or brass accents are an effortless way to add even more sophistication.

Orange and Charcoal

Orange and charcoal isn't a bedroom color scheme for everyone. But if you like things on the bolder side, it could be a great choice. Use the orange just as an accent in the room, such as on your textiles. Bringing in charcoal as a rug is a great way to anchor the space. And keeping the walls a neutral white helps to balance the vibrant orange.

Blue and Gray

Pastels and Neutrals

Pastels might feel like they're for a child's room. But they also can create an effortlessly chic adult bedroom. Use a creamy neutral on the walls, so the pastels don't dominate. And bring in just two or three complementary pastel shades as accents. Natural wood rounds out the simplicity of the space.
-

Mauve and Cream
KatarzynaBialasiewicz / Getty Images
Mauve is the perfect whisper of a color that's just one step up from a neutral. And when paired with cream, it creates a cozy and comfortable color combination that still feels stylish. Add pops of gold and black to up the elegance of the color scheme.

Yellow and Turquoise

Red and Gray
KatarzynaBialasiewicz / Getty ImagesFire engine red everywhere wouldn't make for the most restful sleep space. But accents of vivid red mixed with a warm gray and other neutrals can create a stylish and visually appealing bedroom. This color scheme works especially well in contemporary designs.

Gray, Black, and Gold

For a luxurious bedroom color scheme, consider a mix of gray, black, and gold. Grays on the walls and bedding prevent the space from feeling too bold. And using black and gold as accents adds instant richness to the room.

Crimson and Green

A bright red and green would likely feel too reminiscent of Christmastime. But deep crimson and rich forest green jewel tones make for a lush, swanky bedroom color scheme. Gold accents work perfectly with this duo, creating a posh and warm space.

Purple and Charcoal
KatarzynaBialasiewicz / Getty Images
Purple tones can work very well in a bedroom, from soothing lilacs to bold magentas and rich violets. The key is to balance them with a neutral like these charcoal gray walls. The mix of purples and charcoal feels regal and sophisticated, and the color scheme is perfect to darken a bedroom that gets a lot of natural light.

Shades of green work beautifully with each other, so don't be afraid to mix light and dark, blue and yellow-based tones for a look that will totally energise your space.
These bold botanical prints sit perfectly in this green scheme, but if you prefer a more subtle bedroom look, go for grey or blush pink bedlinen. An accent of soft blush or even fierce fuchsia is the ideal accent with these lush greens. Our green bedroom ideas will give you more of a steer on how to use this restful shade.

Brown tinted plum and mauve tones set a warm and mellow mood in a space you want to relax in. Choosing dusky tones of purple will give a soothing quality to your room where deeper tones could become too strong or overpowering .
Mix with rich accents and brass for a touch of modern glamour, or spin it rustic with greys and grainy wood. The pop of yellow- green on the headboard and bedlinen cuts through the warm wall colour for a fresh uplift.
3. Mix forest green and mustard yellow

Cocooning in winter and cooling in summer a flat matt forest green will promote a mellow mood wherever and whenever you use it. Deep green can work in small spaces, too – even on all four walls, it'll change mood as the day goes on, feeling fresh and energising in the morning, then dramatic and immersive at night.
Small hits of mustard yellow is the perfect accent colour and will prevent deep greens becoming too dark and gloomy.

From deep indigo tones to soft chambray shades, denim blues work with fresh whites and simple stripes for a calming, timeless scheme.
Classic stonewashed blues are your go-to colour if you love relaxed country style or a smart Hamptons-inspired look, making the perfect foundation for deeper hues and plenty of tone-on-tone patterns. Mix with a generous helping of crisp whites and a highlight of soft orange, for a touch of vibrancy against these saturated blues.

For fans of white walls the transition to soft mint isn't too much of a stretch (we promise). This gentle green is calming in a bedroom and has a bright and uplifting mood in morning light that white can lack.
Team with flannel greys to give weight and definition to a palette of paler tones. This gentle, easy-going scheme looks great in a scandi, or modern-country setting.

This light absorbing shade is perfect for a bedroom, providing a mellow pre-sleep mood and easy-on-the-eye awakenings. If you use it on all four walls, keep the floor and ceiling crisp white and mix in plenty of neutrals to balance the darker shades.
Nude pink is the perfect accent for midnight blue, so use in in abundance on bedlinen, cushions and throws.
7. Choose coral and verdigris

Start your scheme by finding colour combinations you see and love in artwork, wallpaper or fabric. This blowsy, painterly bloom wallpaper makes a bold statement using delicate tones of blue-green and coral, and is a good wajto add character to a small bedroom.
Keep the colour thread going by dressing the bed with mis-matched cushions and quilted throws, but keeping the floorboards white and the bedlinen plain so that the riot of colour can still feel calm and restrained.
Adding plenty of wood tones in a floral inspired room keeps the look natural and avoids it becoming overpowering.
8. Relax with blush pink and denim blues

A few simple changes can transform a white room. Start by selecting a colour for the bottom half of your room, this blush pink creates a dreamy soft scheme that will warm up your whites.
Next add depth by choosing colours from the same pink colour family but with very different hues, such as a light and dark terracotta. Finish by adding denim blue bedlinen to ground the scheme and prevent it looking too 'girlie'.
9. Work in subtle pastel pattern

This texture effect stripe wallpaper adds depth and interest to a pastel room. It's soft coral colour is nearly neutral enough to take a stronger green on the bedhead.
Pull the two different colours together by adding cushions and throws in the same colour grouping. Leaving the top part of the wall white will allow objects on display to pop on the neutral background.
10. Set the scene with a deep blue-green

If your design eye is naturally drawn to a neutral palette for the bedroom, shake things up a little with a shot of glorious blue-green. Use an elegant, rich shade of forest green or teal on the walls in your bedroom to instantly invigorate the space. While the colour is uplifting, it's not bright so it still has the power to warm up the space and create a cosy, cocoon-like feel.
Pairing rich wooden furniture adds a further touch of nature, which again has a calming feel. If you don't want to commit to all-over colour, consider breaking it up with foolproof white accessories and soft furnishings, such as this crisp white bed linen - a safe and versatile option. Dusky pink is a stunning accent colour to add a pretty edge to the scheme.
11. Soften the mood with pale green

'When we are feeling stressed (increasingly so, in these busy and chaotic times), we need to completely reduce the visual noise,' says Dulux's Creative Director Marianne Shillingford. She suggests using tranquil colours, such as Dulux's Colour of the Year Tranquil Dawn, seen here, that 'melt the walls away and reconnect us with nature. '
This shade could well be the key to a better night's sleep.
12. Stick to sophisticated charcoal grey
(Image credit: Future PLC/Simon Whitmore)
Stick to a tried-and-tested palette. The grey-on-grey trend shows no sign of fading. Explore the many depths of this colour palette by layering tones to create a scheme that looks cohesive and considered.
Use grey in both its palest and deepest incarnations to create a rich, contrasting look that is harmonious and co-ordinated. Add a welcome splash of colour with bright pink and white bedding.
13. Create a sunny scheme with mellow yellow
(Image credit: Future PLC /Dominic Blackmore)
Awaken the senses. Paint your bedroom in yellow if you want a scheme that is full of sunny, positive vibes. Give any bedroom a bright, welcoming feel with uplifting, mood-boosting primrose. Ideally, it should remind you of sunny days. Yellow and grey are a great combination and work really well together.
As yellow inspires clear thinking, it's also a great colour for a study area if you have space to add a desk. Improve definition with touches of crisp white and introduce pattern in the form of geometrics and chevrons for a sharp, contemporary finish. Hexagon boxes make a break from traditional shelving and have been papered inside for a decorative effect.
14. Make an impact punchy yellow and grey
(Image credit: Future PLC/Colin Poole)
Let the joyous tones of yellow really sing, when used as an accent shade for muted grey. to take the colour scheme one step further than just accessories and bedding try painting a feature wall or fire-surround.
15. Add alluring tones of teal
(Image credit: Future PLC / David Giles)
Chose a teal paint as the base colour to make your space feel sumptuous. Painting cupboards, wardrobes or a fire surround in the same shade will make them disappear, while a headboard in a contrasting colour will make a real style statement. A mix of plain and patterned bed linen gives the bed a fashionable layered look.

(Image credit: Future PLC/Colin Poole)
White is a classic, calming colour for bedrooms. But simple doesn't have to mean boring. To keep a bedroom feeling peaceful white walls and a natural wood floor, accessorised with tones of green and luscious prints will inject interest.
The neutral base also means you can mix things up with different textiles and bed linen, depending on the season. An all-white neutral base allows you to change the accent colour as your tastes may change.

(Image credit: Future PLC/Lizzie Orme)
Let the Midas touch take over with golden furniture, fabrics and wallpapers. Give a decadent metallic scheme a period feel with an Art Deco-inspired dressing table, cleverly paired with a contemporary mirror in a similar finish.
Create a beautiful contrast with pops of plum, as seen on the bedding and accessories. This will really help to lift the scheme and introduce an element of character and personality that befits a disco diva.
18. Dare to be different with a dark navy colour palette
(Image credit: Future PLC/Adrian Briscoe)
Give your bedroom a fresh, timeless vibe with a cool, calm and collected blue and white palette. Who says you can't use bold colours in country bedrooms? If you're a true fan of blue, you'll love this striking bedroom. Use indigo and navy blue as if they were neutrals and you will find you can combine them with just about any colour. Add in bold accessories and daring patterns without a second thought.
If you want a calming feel to your bedroom colour scheme, then the nautical shades of blue and white complement each other beautifully. Choose subtly striped wallpaper for this coastal living room theme, teamed with white bed linen and a navy wool throw.
Plump white pillows overlaid by cushions in contrasting shades of navy blue follow the coastal theme through. Alternatively go for all white bedlinen and accessories, experiment with fabrics and textures introducing embroidered bed linen, silk cushions and lace wallpaper.
19. Be bold with orange
(Image credit: Future PLC/Tim Young)
Create an earthy country scheme with a rusty orange colour. Combine it with cushions that feature a similar shade in their patterns. Leather accessories and wooden furniture are ideal partners for this woodland-inspired bedroom and create a vintage vibe. To stop the look becoming too dark, floors have been painted white and the curtains kept light - we love the supremely cute stag design.
Alternatively, create order in the room with tailor-made storage and streamline shelving for essentials to avoid clutter. And if you enjoy the look and feel of natural wood, a bed with an oversized wooden headboard will look really effective. Mix up walnut, beech and birch with natural cotton bedlinen in shades of taupe and white, and finish the look with sisal and woven rugs for a wonderfully natural look.
20. Play with vibrant combinations
(Image credit: Future PLC/Dominic Blackmore)
Add some bold colour to your bedroom to spruce it up a bit. It's not just about splashing some colour in your bedroom, it's how you use it that counts. Use this room as your inspiration and use a striking but unexpected and imaginative combination of yellow and pink to create an intense scheme that looks anything but dull. Set it against a white backdrop so the daring palette breathes life into a neutral scheme.
21. Rethink pink
(Image credit: Future PLC/Tim Young)
Create a sophisticated boudoir with a grown-up shade of pink. Delicate nude pink is an elegant hue that's perfect for a romantic feel. Its underlying beige tone prevents it being overly girly - make it modern by teaming it with fresh white on the furniture and walls.
Wide stripes on the wall add visual impact and also help to keep the balance of colour just right so that it's virtually half white and half pink throughout the room.
Hold back on the bold pattern, but add subtle texture with a Jacquard bedspread and oversized buttoned headboard for an indulgent, luxurious feel. Copper is a great complement to blush pink, as the cool tripod lamp shows. A clear chandelier adds to the glamour, without interrupting the colour scheme.
22. Paint in purple
(Image credit: Future PLC/Tim Young)
After purple bedroom ideas? This isn't Pantone's Colour of the Year 2018 for no reason! Cosy up with dusky shades of heather and grey. Soothing shades like these are perfect if you want a space to feel warm and relaxing.
Let a vintage-style floral print be the starting point for your colour scheme. The purple background colour of the duvet is the strongest shade used in the room - don't overuse it or the effect will be too garish.
Take your other colours from the floral print, with its muted shades of heather, lilac, grey and soft beige, and use these for walls, flooring and accessories: heather and grey painted walls, a lilac throw on the bed and soft beige carpet and chair. Glass lamps hung low each side of the bed create subdued pools of light - perfect for a sleep-inducing scheme.

23. Work with warm brown tones
(Image credit: Future PLC/Mark Scott)
Wood isn't just for rustic rooms. This chic bedroom combines polished walnut, oak and birch with natural linens, textured woollens, soft grey walls and sisal flooring for a grown-up, contemporary feel. Have an oversized headboard made in walnut veneer to anchor the scheme. There are clever concealed shelves behind the front panel to hide clutter.
Layer the bed with natural linen bedding, knitted throws and tactile cushions so that it looks inviting and feels cosy. Mix wood finishes such as oak and birch for bedroom furniture and accessories - mid-toned woods like these work naturally together.
24. Wow with all-white
(Image credit: Future PLC/Tim Young)
Simple but oh-so sophisticated, an all-white bedroom scheme like this just oozes glamour. Make an oversized lace-pattern wallpaper the starting point for the room. With a barely-there paper you can be bold with pattern - the bigger the better.
Add a supersized headboard made from MDF painted glossy white for maximum shine. Attach floating shelves as bedside tables and add low-hung pendants to minimise clutter. All-white bed linen is a must for this look - just layer it up with pillowcases, cushions and throws with lace or crochet details. Different textures are the key to making the scheme three-dimensional rather than flat.
25. Go for a gorgeous grey
(Image credit: Future PLC/Dominic Blackmore)
Turn your bedroom into a luxurious retreat with a sophisticated palette of pewter and platinum. While the look is ultra-glamorous, the effect is easy to achieve if you keep to similar tones throughout the room. Mix shades and tints of the same colour, from dull pewter to polished platinum.
Start with a statement bed, like this upholstered sleigh-style bed in a plush pewter velvet. A glass chandelier hung low over the bed helps to grab the attention, and will glisten and sparkle against all the metallic tones around the room.
Carry on the luxe theme, with metallic wallpaper panels either side of the bed. Hang just one drop behind each bedside table, so even if it's a pricey paper, you can get the luxe effect without spending a fortune.
26. Rough up the edges with coral
(Image credit: Rough up the edges)
Colour doesn't have to cover the whole wall if you don't want it to. Paint half way up for a slightly 'undone' approach to decorating that works surprisingly well. If it's the artist's studio type vibe that you're going for, try a smudgy sponge effect between the two colours, rather than a perfectly straight line.
27. Try subtle colour injections
(Image credit: Future PLC/Catherine Gratwicke)
Clad walls in wood as a warm and rustic alternative to white paint. It's not a colour as such, but it adds a lot of interest to a scheme - and let's face it, not everyone wants to experiment with the super-brights. Here, colour hits are provided by the throw and cushion.
Plants are great for brightening, too, adding beautiful greenery to this natural-looking space.
28. Play with colours and scale
(Image credit: Future PLC/Dominic Blackmore)
The bright and bold botanical mural is clearly the main focus of this rather snazzy bedroom, but it's the eye-popping accessories that take if from flouncy to fabulous quicker than you can say 'switch the lamp on please'! A black metal bedstead adds a masculine touch that is the perfect balance to all the florals.
29. Match your blooms
(Image credit: Future PLC/David Brittain)
Fancy a fresh new look in the bedroom for spring? Then why not say it with flowers? The zesty yellow floral wallpaper is the star of the show in this bedroom. Teaming it with chic shades of grey, tones the whole scheme down and prevents the paper being overpowering.
Keep other patterns to a minimum and go small-scale rather than large, such as the grey damask pillowcases and herringone throw. Balance the bold walls with simple, streamlined furniture, like the tailored headboard, plain side tables and upholstered ottoman.

For a fashionable bedroom, you need to think over the style, then decide on the colors of the wallpaper, floor, textiles. For walls, you need to choose wallpapers of the same color, you can use different ones, but in the same tone. You can zoning the room horizontally with different wallpapers. In the finished room, an unusual option would be inserts from other wallpapers of the original form. Separate the wallpaper with moldings or borders, which is very effective. To highlight one wall (at the headboard), you need to stick bright wallpaper around the bed, but choose a combination with others. You can increase the height not only with a light ceiling, but also with vertical wallpaper with light stripes.
