40 Best Bedroom Colors 2022

1

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

10

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

20

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.

21

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The open floor plan in this Chicago family apartment designed by Bruce Fox called for cohesion between the dining and living room areas.

Navy

Ann Pyne worked with decorative painter Arthur Fowler to create a contrasting geometric pattern on the walls. "I think of the puzzle-like shapes as a metaphor—it's a game of fitting all these disparate 'treasures' into a graphically coherent whole," she says.

Khaki

Designer Garrow Kedigian defines a neutral as "anything that isn't jarring," which is a super helpful way to reframe things if cream, white, or gray simply isn't cutting it in your living room and you can't figure out why. Certain spaces just call for something outside the box, whether it's because of an architectural style, light exposures, or existing furniture. Here, the walls are painted Benjamin Moore's Rattan.

90,000 fashionable colors in the interiors of 2022

07.26.2022

Content:

The color palette in the interior of the apartment is of paramount importance for the perception of the whole design. It is the colors, not the furniture, that set the main focus. In 2022, the trends impress with the beauty of neutral or deep shades that are perfect for any room or stylistic decision - the choice is almost unlimited. This article presents fashionable color trends for the design of residential interiors for 2022.

Acid and unnatural colors are out of fashion - in 2022 they are irrelevant!

Model: Cremona 2

Caramel, beige, gold

Neutral warm or cold shades hold positions for several years, as they are considered optimal for all styles.

Caramel

Softness and warmth, reminiscent of sea sand or sweets - these are the associations that arise when looking at the design of a home where caramel colors predominate. The whole color palette is relevant - from a cold, almost white shade, to a rich warm one.

Suitable for use in almost all rooms and in many variants. How to use in the interior of 2022:

Model: Invisible

Caramel shades are controversial for the bathroom. There is an opinion that they make the room too "heavy".

Beige

A versatile color that creates a neutral yet soft feel. The color palette is huge - you need to individually select a shade for each room.

Beige is not just popular in 2022. They can be the main color of any of the rooms and are great for small apartments and all rooms.

Model: Avesta

You can make the whole room in a beige palette if you combine the shades correctly. Colors should not “merge” - alternate light with dark, and cold with warm.

Gold

These colors are relevant only as inclusions, decor or small details in the room. For example, a trendy solution is the use of daylight handles in golden color, faucets. Gold-plated wallpaper or decorative plaster with a small amount of shiny warm sheen is acceptable.

Massive chandeliers with golden fittings will beautifully complement the living room in neoclassical design. If the design of the room allows, furniture fabrics can also be supplemented with a small amount of “gold”.

Model: Flex 1 Molding Gold

A bit of a gold palette suits all rooms, but moderation must be observed.

Black and white

These colors are always considered trendy, but in 2022 their use is gradually reaching a new level.

Black

Depth and versatility - this is how you can characterize this mysterious color. And if a few years ago black was used only as a quality, for example, black doors, baseboards, lighting fixtures or small decor were allowed, now you can expand the scope.

2022 trends allow for interiors with black walls, furniture and flooring. You can make a large black wall indoors - it will be a stylish accent, especially in the living room or bedroom.

Where and how else can black be used in the interior:

Model: Linewood 1

Do not use a black palette for children.

White

The most versatile color. It can be dazzling or soft milky, but its use is relevant for absolutely all rooms, rooms of any size and purpose. Softer shades are suitable for decorating children's rooms, classic white is ideal for the kitchen, living room, bathroom or toilet.

White furniture is applicable everywhere - in the bedroom, in the kitchen or in the nursery. A white hallway will be no less fashionable than a dazzling bathroom, in which this particular color is associated with cleanliness and visually enlarges a small space.

White walls are a classic. Any room will seem more spacious with white walls. Such solutions are applicable to all interior styles and are at the peak of popularity in 2022.

Model: Aurum 1

All shades of gray

Neutral colors have been holding the lead in interior fashion for a long time. The gray palette is more relevant than ever - almost all design stylistic decisions use these shades. It is worth noting that absolutely all shades are fashionable. You can use both anthracite gray and gray-white colors - everything and in any quantity is acceptable.

Gray furniture suitable for all rooms. Even a nursery can be safely decorated with an anthracite bed or a wardrobe - in a bright room, such furniture will look stylish and contrasting.

Model: Lamira 1

Delicate pastel

Mint, blue, soft pink or beige-lilac - these colors set the trends for 2022 and are used to decorate all living rooms. You can choose the optimal tone for furniture or flooring by decorating the walls in any of the shades of this spectrum.

Designers recommend pastel colors in the design of the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or nursery.

Model: Libra 1

Pastel colors do not create contrast and are not considered accents.

Blue and green

Natural colors are popular and in demand, due to which the fashion does not work for them. In 2022, you can and should include blue and green shades in the interior - your apartment will be not only modern, but also original.

Blue

The feeling of freshness and coolness is great for decorating the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or toilet. In these rooms, the use of blue shades in almost any quantity is acceptable. Children's or living room "love" blue in moderation - for example, in the form of decor, textiles or upholstered furniture.

Model: French 8

Green

The color is associated with spring, greenery and freshness. Therefore, if you need the perception of the interior in a similar vein, then do not give up on the green palette. Optimal use of green is provided in accents and details, but bold solutions are acceptable in the form of completely green walls in the hallway or a kitchen set in the color of lush grass.

It is the emerald shade that is still relevant. It is applicable for contrasting walls, decor, countertops or bathrooms.

Model: Inari

Acid green or poison green are not trendy.

Other trendy interior colors for 2022

Mineral . Your interior will look unusual and universal with the use of such colors. This refers to all shades of iron, lead, other metals or semi-precious stones. The entire palette fits in with a range of other trendy colors such as white opal or brown rust. Natural minerals can be used in their original form as a decoration or as an imitation. That is, lead-colored walls, emerald textiles, white furniture, and so on are relevant.

Red . In this case, it is desirable to observe moderation. The red palette is acceptable only in the form of small details or decor, which dilute "boring" neutral interiors. It is acceptable to design a bathroom in red or a bathroom. Household appliances for the kitchen are also relevant and can successfully complement a dark or light small room.

Yellow . All natural shades are acceptable without acidity and unnaturalness. The use of yellow in the interior is considered a bold decision and is suitable for individual accents - textiles, decor, lighting in the nursery.

Violet . Your apartment will be fashionable and beautiful if you properly decorate the interior in such a tone. Purple is perfect for loft, hi-tech, art deco or classic.

Silver . Here the application is similar to the golden color. Inclusions, accents or decoration in small quantities are acceptable.

Trendy colors 2022 and how to apply them in the interior

The palette plays a key role in the interior: the general atmosphere in the house and the psycho-emotional state of the residents depend on it. If you are planning a renovation this year, then in search of inspiration, we suggest studying the latest trends - you will definitely find something interesting in them. Pantone's Color of the Year 2022, neutrals and deep natural tones - in this article we have collected the most trendy shades that will suit different styles, decorate your home and inspire unusual design ideas.

Trend colors 2022

Neutrals
– Creamy
— Olive
— Angelic white
— Greige
Bright
— Periwinkle
— Malachite
— Deep blue
— Sunny yellow

The trend for a calm natural palette, on which the eye “rests”, was fixed several years ago and is unlikely to lose its relevance in the near future. The house should be a cozy and safe fortress, where it is easy to relax and recuperate after a stressful day. This year, pay attention to light and warm colors that are associated with nature or delicious food.

Creamy

Social networks of Rindes studio

Cream Butter Cream - A light beige shade with yellowish undertones, perfect for decorating rooms with north-facing windows or just where there is not enough sun. This is the most fashionable color for walls in the interior in 2022 - on matte surfaces it will give a pleasant enveloping effect and a feeling of the presence of sunlight in the room even on a cloudy day. In addition to finishing, cream is suitable for upholstery of upholstered furniture and textiles - coupled with tactilely pleasant fabrics, you will get an even more comfortable and at the same time elegant atmosphere.

What to combine with

Since creamy beige has a pronounced warm undertone, combine it with any colors that match it in color temperature. You can use neutrals (like light gray or pure white), but don't go into obvious coldness - such a contrast will look unnatural and break the harmony of the palette.

By itself, olive also varies: from deep green to almost yellow, like butter. It is associated with stability and at the same time optimism, freshness, novelty. For a neutral interior, choose lighter and more diluted tones. Olive green can be walls, a kitchen set, accent furniture (for example, a sofa in the living room or a closet in the hallway), decor. Best suited for eco-style, contemporary, boho, neoclassical.

What to combine with

The color of olives feels good surrounded by a variety of colors:

Angelic White

This is a soft and warm version of white with yellowish beige undertones.

Social networks of designer Evgenia Matveenko

It will be especially relevant for small apartments with a small number of windows, as it visually expands the space and fills the room with light. It can be taken as the basis of a palette in any style: from classic to scandi and minimalism. So that the interior does not look too “sterile”, it is better to dilute it with more saturated colors.

What to pair with

Like other achromats, white goes well with any shades. But just as in the case of cream, it is important to select partners according to temperature. Matches:

If you prefer rich and active colors, bright colors in the interior are also in trend in 2022.

Periwinkle

Project ON Design Lab

Speaking of what color is in fashion now, in 2022 it will certainly be Veri Peri (otherwise it is called periwinkle). A rather rich and deep shade of purple appeared quite recently - it was created at the Pantone Institute and immediately proclaimed the color of the year. You can use it in different ways: from decor to finishing materials. But since this tone is complex, and violet in the interior is, in principle, treated with caution, it is better to start with local solutions: for example, lay a set of bed linen in the bedroom or paint part of the wall in periwinkle - the color block is now just in trend.

Malachite is a trendy color in the interior-2022

Multifaceted green is unlikely to ever go out of fashion, but this year we recommend bright variations take a closer look at the natural colors of precious stones.

Unlike olive or herbal, malachite has a blue undertone. This is a cool version of green that looks luxurious and elegant, visually making any interior more expensive. It feels good on any pronounced textures: stone imitation, leather, velvety fabric, embossed wallpaper, decorative panels, etc. Most often it is used locally: for furniture, textiles or decor. If you love a bright finish, for example, choose malachite for one accent wall.

Matching

Choose other colors based on the color temperature of this variation of green. Suitable:

Deep Blue

Although blue is often viewed with suspicion (believed to be dreary and blues in large quantities), it is one of the hottest colors in 2022.

Social networks of designer Evgenia Matveenko

Choose deep natural tones: ocean waters, stormy seas, clear skies or pre-storm clouds. The best option is to use blue as an accent: for example, in decor or textiles. You can use this color in decoration, but it is better to do it locally so that the room does not have an oppressive and gloomy atmosphere. Be sure to dilute it with lighter and more refreshing tones that will add air to the interior and balance the dense blue tone.

What to combine with

The most successful combinations will be prompted by nature itself. Assembling the palette, focus on natural landscapes. So, blue will organically complement:
