Expert opinion
Irina Klimova
I am 29 years old. I am an interior designer. I love my job and have been doing it for over 8 years. About 100 projects have been implemented. I provide professional advice.
It is preferable to use refined, graceful outlines in the arrangement of walls, ceilings, and furniture structures. It is better to abandon massive interior items. The bedroom in blue provides harmony, lightness and neutrality in design.
Leaves, flowers, feathers, geometry and other accents can be decorative motifs.
If you have chosen a bright blue color, then it is better to combine it with another more calm shade.
Blue
The classic tone looks great in well-lit rooms where light colors would appear washed out. It perfectly emphasizes the geometry, lines.
Many designers recommend combining dark blue with warm undertones. So you can achieve a cozy interior. But it looks no less advantageous with neutral tones - white, blue.
Usually blue wallpaper for the bedroom is used in the arrangement, and the ceiling and floor are decorated with contrasting or neutral shades.
You can often see the wall treatment in the form of color panels - the area at the head of the bed is painted in a rich shade. The near walls are made in a calm design.
Indigo
The color is deep, extremely rich and vibrant. It is ideal for decorating a bedroom in a modern style.

The color combines iridescent blues and greens. So in different lighting it will appear bluish, in another it will become greenish.
Aquamarine shade looks great as a base color for decorative elements - curtains, furniture upholstery, pillows, floor lamp shades and more. Such an element brings an original, stylish accent to the arrangement of the room.
Since the shade is darker, it is better suited for larger rooms. But it can be combined with light colors - powdery, peach, blue, light pink, pearl.

Proper lighting and decoration of the blue bedroom
Designing a competent lighting scheme for a room is a complex and responsible process. Depending on the dimensions of the room, the optimal volume of lighting devices is selected, the scheme of their placement to create uniform lighting.
The following types can be distinguished:
- Basic lighting. The main light, a chandelier must be present even in a bright room. It should not be too bright, as additional lamps provide the required level. It is better to choose diffused light , which provides direction to the ceiling or walls. Dense shades also allow you to create soft, unobtrusive lighting. The location of the main lamp is preferably in the middle of the room. For small spaces it is better to use flat chandeliers.
- Bedside light. Necessary for reading, working with a laptop. It is realized through sconces, floor lamps. Paired lamps are purchased for a wide bed. Lighting should be bright enough, but at the same time directional, not diffused. The lamp should be placed about 60 cm above the bed. The sconce, as a rule, is located at a height of about 2 meters from the floor. Lamps on brackets that can be moved would be an excellent option.
- Mirror lighting. Accessory is an important attribute in the room. Perfectly serves the sconces placed on both sides, as well as the backlight built into the product.
- Decorative light. It is used for decoration, as well as a functional muffled source. An excellent option would be point ceiling lamps. They can be turned on separately from the main lamp, creating the most calm light.
Optional lighting fixtures for cabinet, workstation. An important requirement is the containment of the overall design style of chandeliers and lamps.
The variety of modern lamps allows you to choose the actual product for the style of the room design. To make the room more comfortable and original, you can make your own lampshades for floor lamps.
Blue wallpaper in the interior of the bedroom can be the main accent, as well as a neutral element.
It is important to consider the shades of the arrangement when choosing decorative elements. Lamps, curtains are not only a functional item, but also an important attribute that emphasizes the design. Therefore, the development of accessories must be taken as responsibly as possible.
Blue curtains in the bedroom can be hung in the presence of light shades of the walls. They will create contrast, focus on the element, emphasize the decor.
Draperies can be made from heavy fabrics, as well as light, weightless ones. Textiles are selected in accordance with the style of interior design. Combined curtains will look most advantageous.
Decorative elements are:
- photo wallpapers;
- paintings, panels;
- books;
- vases;
- pillows, bedspreads, rugs, tablecloths;
- curtains, blinds;
- stylized plant pots and more.
There are many options for decorating a room with small or large pieces, but it's important not to overdo it.
Elements should be selected based on the style of decoration. For example, the marine style includes stripes, anchors, waves, accessories in the form of ships and steering wheels.
Loft is a more serious, minimalist type of design. Geometric shapes, bricks, wooden lamps, massive shelves are welcome here.
Provence includes floral attributes, patterns, frills.
Hi-tech also implies geometry, the presence of glass, metal accessories in an elegant and sophisticated style.
The combination of blue with other colors in the interior of the bedroom
The combination of shades in the interior is of great importance. By choosing the right spectrum, you can create an optimal atmosphere in which it will be comfortable to be, it is pleasant to fall asleep. It is important to understand the palette and determine which colors can emphasize the style of the room.

Gray-blue bedroom
Gray is quite similar in color to shades of blue. It is combined with blue, dark blue, aquamarine, turquoise and other tones.
Light gray walls with blue furniture look amazing. It can be noted asymmetrically located curtains of blue tone on the curtains, decor with a gradient is possible.
For textile accessories, it is better to give preference to light colors. It can be light, translucent gray curtains with overflows, as well as blue shades. The gray-blue design is accentuated by silver elements.
This type of design is universal. It is suitable for small and large rooms in classic and modern interiors.
Glass and metal products can be used as accessories.
Bedroom in blue-beige
When it comes to combining similar shades, beige acts as the main tone, and dark complements, creates accents. Beige wallpaper and ceiling will help create a light design, while blue elements will bring charm and style.
The combination of blue-beige shades will create a gentle, light design. Such a room will not seem cold, gloomy. This is a universal range, relevant for rooms of different sizes.
Blue curtains in the interior of the bedroom perfectly emphasize the elegance and sophistication of the design. With beige furniture, light walls, the decoration will look unobtrusive, cozy. This type is more suitable for the classic style of decorating the room.
Golden blue bedroom
Gold looks best with dark tones, but the shade will look no less elegant with light shades. This design is relevant for well-lit rooms, since in most cases the combination is carried out with a dark blue color.
Decorated with golden elements, the wallpaper emphasizes the bohemian, rich, sophisticated, royal style of interior decoration. In such shades, you can make the ceiling.
Golden curtains and curtains with elements of gold in the blue bedroom will create a warm atmosphere. Such an interior is optimal for both dark and light rooms.
Bedroom in blue and white

Bedroom in blue-brown tones

This combination is associated with natural motifs, since blue itself is a reflection of the color of the sky, water, and brown - trees, earth.
Harmony of tones allows you to make the atmosphere in the room more balanced, calm and peaceful. The room in blue-brown shades will be as cozy and warm as possible. Tandem is used in various tint combinations. But if the room is dark, it is better to prefer light colors.
Blue bedroom
The arrangement of the room in the blue-blue spectrum is considered harmonious, neutral. This design is relevant for dark and light rooms. Often in the organization of interior decoration, a sky-blue tone is used, but a bright shade is also used in combination with muted overflows.
Monochrome design will not cause contrast, therefore it is optimal for a bedroom. It is also suitable for those who do not want to use white because of its impracticality.
Curtains and curtains in blue are of great importance. In the blue bedroom, they will create an airy, light atmosphere, fill the atmosphere with freshness and light.
For this design, curtains should be of soothing tones. The accessory will not tire your eyesight.
Red and blue bedroom
People who prefer unusual contrasts in the interior will be delighted with the red and blue combination of room decor. With a bright design, it is better to choose more neutral tones to dilute the interior design.
White, celestial are suitable as additional shades. They will dilute the brightness, make the decor more concise.
It is better to define the main and secondary tones. So the walls with blue wallpaper perfectly complement the red curtains and lampshades to match them.

Finishes
The standard use of blue in interiors is wall decoration. This color makes spacious rooms more comfortable. In a small bedroom, a dark accent wall adds depth, expanding or narrowing the room - it all depends on the area of \u200b\u200bapplication. Wallpaper, paint, decorative plaster or wood panels are used for decoration.
Pictured is a bedroom with a lavender accent wall.
The blue color on the floor and ceiling is guaranteed to make the room bright and distinctive. It can unite the walls and ceiling or set off the top of the bedroom. An irregularly shaped room that is only partially painted looks especially impressive: for example, an attic with a sloping roof.
Pictured is a cornflower blue ceiling with wooden slats that follows the headboard wall.
As for the flooring, the most popular flooring for a colored bedroom is dark wood laminate or parquet, which adds solidity and solidity to the environment. The blue floor is less common, as it looks very eccentric. To create it, carpet is usually used.
Selection of furniture and textiles
In modern interiors, the arrangement of white furniture on a blue background, which not only looks stylish, but also lightens the atmosphere, remains a winning one. A bedroom with a brown set creates the effect of a cozy and lived-in room. Often these three shades are successfully combined in a marine style.
An excellent solution would be to use blue furniture on an identical background: a cabinet painted in the same color as the walls gives an interesting effect, as if dissolving into the surroundings. Contrasting furniture gives the opposite result: for example, a red and blue combination of an armchair or decor against a cornflower blue wall.

The purpose of textiles in the blue bedroom is to dilute the base and give the interior coziness and texture. A good solution would be to decorate windows with tulle, light curtains or blinds. If blue is an accent in the bedroom, pillows and curtains of the same color will come in handy here. Covers with a geometric pattern look great, as well as colored elements: yellow or orange sofa upholstery, dusty pink or silver pillows.

Elements of emerald, mustard or orange shades look great in combination with blue furnishings.

Examples of lighting and decor
