Serene and restful – can there be anything better than a blue bedroom?
By Linda Holmes, Interiors Director
And breathe… The new year has arrived and has brought with it the annual comedown from Christmas. Always preceded by one of the year’s most hectic seasons, January is known for being sublimely lowkey. It’s time to take it easy on ourselves, ease into the first few weeks of 2017 and have a little R&R.
We plan to embrace the January Blues (Pinterest was right!) and we’re starting with bedrooms, where its calming but reassuring properties are just the tonic for a restful sleep. Pantone’s colour of the year – greenery – can sit tight just a little while longer.

Blue Bedroom Idea 1: Oriental Expressions
The Langham London’s Sterling Suite is renowned for being one of the capital’s most expensive hotel suites. The space’s bedrooms flirt between a number of pastel tones but for its master bedroom design firm Richmond International chose a striking Parisian blue. Its ombre curtains draw the eye with their classic blue and white palette; a pagoda-inspired, mirror trim headboard is upholstered in a soft velvet; and églomisé panels depict hand-painted lotus trees in a Chinese silk style.

Blue Bedroom Idea 2: Southwest Chic
Celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard opts for a deep indigo hue in this typically Southwestern bedroom. An elaborate scroll-end bench is made up with a medium-scale ikat weave, which is mirrored in the traditional cushions. A kaleidoscopic artwork hangs above the handsome leather button-tufted luxury bed which is paired with mismatched dark wood bedside tables and matching pottery table lamps.

Blue Bedroom Idea 3: Nautical Flavour
An adventuring sail boat, which tells of seafaring stories of days gone by, was the inspiration for the Coastal Elegance bedroom.
The rich tones wood of its furniture harks to that of glamorous 20th century vessels; its ikat weave cushions a nautical mainstay; and its blue and white chinoiserie table lamp a reminder of the trading bounties of the 16th and 17th centuries.

Blue Bedroom Idea 4: Twin Effect
Katharine Pooley may very well have pulled off the chicest twin room ever. A royal blue carpet, matching silk benches and oversized panelled headboards comprise the foundation of the scheme which is dressed with coordinating cushions, blue-trimmed curtains and cable knit throws.

Blue Bedroom Idea 5: California Love
The accent colour of choice for this Matthew Lanphier bedroom was just meant to be. “This bedroom is in a beautiful “Santa Barbara Mission Style” home in Rancho Palos Verdes, [California]. Blue is the main accent bedroom colour throughout the house (interior and exterior) – even the window trims are blue. So, here we played with the blue palette in all of its shades (cobalt, navy, etc.
) to achieve a nuanced approach to an accent colour.” The relaxed striped rug and ceramic tassel-like Arteriors table lamps add a playfulness.

Blue Bedroom Idea 6: Sophisticated Finish
Toning down the hue to a mature Air Force blue, Katharine Pooley accents this room’s main focal point – a specialist upholstery decorative headboard – with the colour. The steely palette is softened with warm taupe upholstery and a warm grey rug for a sophisticated take on blue.

Blue Bedroom Idea 7: Contemporary Townhouse
A modern design with a hint of the refined, this cool palette bedroom from the Townhouse collection adds glamour to a modern quilted headboard (realised in an effortless blue-grey velvet) with a scattering of azure-toned cushions and a lustrous blue buttoned pouffe for a contemporary spin on townhouse style.

Blue Bedroom Idea 8: Subtle Approach
Pastel blue upholstery teamed with cloud white makes for a refreshing pairing in this Taylor Howes bedroom.
Chosen as one of last spring’s most beautiful bedroom palettes, the scheme is conducive to a relaxing night’s sleep of simple luxury.

Blue Bedroom Idea 9: Classical Tones
Dusky blue is a Neoclassical mainstay and was a favourite of Marie Antoinette. (Although many of the queen’s existing furniture pieces are now faded to their original wood colours, in their prime they would have been painted in shades of pastel blue and pink.) This delicate bedroom by White House interior designer Michael S. Smith uses layers of the softest of blues. Duck egg blue walls act as backdrop to a grey-blue painted bed and pale viridian taffeta drapes.

Blue Bedroom Idea 10: Satin Appeal
Forget blue velvet, blue satin is the way to go, especially in a heavenly cashmere and royal blue combination. N Studio (previously Intarya) understands the soothing properties of a blue immersion by dressing this room in harmonious azure tones, ranging from intense to soft tones.
Its chaise’s artistic fabric and a wall-hung canvas combine the tones seamlessly.

Blue Bedroom Idea 11: Coastal Calm
What’s a blue room edit without a coastal offering? Blue and white is the quintessential seaside palette recalling thoughts of white sand and blue sea. Nautical blue and white has even become the synonymous with the popular Hamptons style. For this Bahamas bedroom, Finchatton combines rope motifs, white-washed shutter panels and woven Navajo-inspired patterns.
Image credit:
Blue Bedroom Idea 12: Glamour Shot
This pale duck egg blue bedroom by Tobi Fairley is equal parts English country and Hollywood Regency. The subtle palette, painted white wood trim, button-tufted bed and damask curtains are decidedly country; the statement mirror, mirrored furniture, oversized crystal table lamps and silky bedding are ever-so-glamorous.
Image credit:
Blue Bedroom Idea 13: Moody Blues
Go bold or go home is the message of this top-floor Natalia Miyar-designed bedroom.
The designer settled on a deep majolica blue for the walls and eaved ceiling, and paired this with tactile abstract neutral upholstery, blue chevron cushions, dark woods and an oil-slick-inspired table lamp with interesting star-printed shade. The room’s white mount artwork pops against the space’s dramatic walls.

Blue Bedroom Idea 14: Guest Room Remake
Clean-lined, key upholstery pieces finished in a heady teal blue brings a pop of colour to this twin room by Tobi Fairley. Teamed with casual grey, the look blends contemporary style with a rich aesthetic for a smart alternative to bland guest room design.
Image credit:
Blue Bedroom Idea 15: Beach Chic
Stephanie Coutas’ beachy take on the blue bedroom includes a neon blue apatite headboard with chrome frame, complementary bronze and brass elliptical wall scones and a Tai Ping rug by the designer with a dissolved traditional pattern. The simple Dedar bedspread is dressed up with rows of custom geometric and plain cushions.

25 Gorgeous Blue Bedrooms - Blue Bedroom Decorating Ideas
From Prussian to Tiffany to cobalt, it’s safe to say designers are mad about blue. The cool hue, renowned for its ability to incite feelings of calmness is a designer go-to for bedrooms. While some revere hushed shades of blue that conjure up visions of sea and sky, others prefer more attention-getting shades—think: royal blue and cerulean—that evoke nautical notes, especially when paired with snippets of bright white. And let’s not forget the moodiest iterations of all: indigo and navy. Both hues pair effortlessly with neutrals like cognac (not to mention, quasi-neutrals like leopard), and have a knack for making even basics like plain white bedding look magnificently richer.
If you’ve been rhapsodizing about a blue bedroom, consider pulling inspiration from traditional blue decor. Ginger jars, for instance, can provide a dramatic jumping-off point for blue bedrooms, as can classic textiles like blue and white toile or ticking stripes. If darker shades of blue better suit your aspirations, consider adopting traditional indigo-dyed fabrics like Japanese shibori cloth or African mudcloth as your muse. Blue’s sereneness also makes it one of the most accessible shades to experiment with pattern-on-pattern decorating. For a maximalist blue bedroom, layer ikats, damask, and block-prints with abandon. Most designers will attest: blue-on-blue pattern is as close as you can get to foolproof.
To get you even more inspired, we’ve rounded up a bevy of beautiful blue bedroom ideas. Click through the slideshow below to discover exactly why when it comes to bedrooms, designers are eternally tangled up in blue.

The meaning and psychological impact of blue in the interior
Blue color symbolizes coolness, purity and peace.
Sky and azure shades fill the space with air, freshness and a feeling of weightlessness.
Although this color belongs to the cold palette, rest in such a room will give a feeling of warmth, carelessness and good mood.
Designers often use celestial colors in the interior, because they allow you to visually expand the space, they can turn any room into a luxurious, elegant and sophisticated apartment.
According to psychologists, heavenly tones have a positive effect on the human body. Using blue color in the interior of the bedroom, you can get rid of insomnia and improve the quality of sleep. In such a room it is good to meditate, relax and just relax.
Advantages and disadvantages of using blue tones in bedroom design
I will single out the pros and cons of decorating a bedroom in blue:
- heavenly shades have a positive effect on the psyche, calm the nervous system and help to fall asleep quickly;
- this color scheme adds space and light to the room, which helps to visually increase the size of the room;
- these colors bring freshness and lightness to the bedroom;
- azure-turquoise shades will perfectly fit both classic and modern interiors;
- color palette allows you to choose the right option for children's bedrooms;
- these tones go well with other colors.
- in large rooms, the use of blue can make the room feel uncomfortable;
- an excessive amount of light blue tones creates the effect of “emptiness” in the interior, against which furniture and decor are lost, and the space itself becomes homogeneous;
- classic blue is a cold color that is not suitable for all interiors, for example, it is not recommended for use in children's rooms.
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.
Despite the disadvantages, I really like the interiors of the bedrooms in blue tones. The main thing is to choose the right shade and harmoniously combine it with the companion color.
What style of bedroom will the color blue fit into?
So, for example, it can be used for bedrooms in Provence style, minimalism, great for modern, classic and Scandinavian interiors.
Each style has its own characteristic features, manifested in the decoration and decoration of the room.
Provence
Such a bedroom, first of all, tends to create simplicity and comfort. To do this, delicate shades are selected from the blue palette, which are combined with pale pink, light green, lavender.
Floral prints are allowed when choosing textiles. In this case, it is recommended to choose plain wallpaper in a light blue hue.
Bedroom furniture in the Provence style is also better to take light, so as not to visually clutter up the space.
Modern bedroom
The modern style is calm and light, which, combined with blue hues, helps to tune in to relaxation.
Pale blue wallpapers, beige flooring and white linens are a good combination in this case.
Blinds are commonly used for window decoration, although a more classic version with curtains can be chosen.
Any furniture is chosen for the bedroom, but preference is given to natural shades.
Classic
Lovers of luxurious interiors will appreciate this option.
Blue color goes well with golden, beige and milky tones.
When decorating the walls, canvases in blue tones with various patterns can be used.
Classic bedroom interiors often contain moldings, stucco moldings, and use of companion wallpapers and textiles.
Light blue palette goes well with beige furniture, turquoise shades look more advantageous with brown.
The classic style welcomes the use of metal elements as a decorative frame. It is best to choose golden shades for these purposes.
Minimalism
The interior of the bedroom in the minimalist style is characterized by monochrome, the use of contrasts that look great in the blue palette.
You can smooth out the cold of blue with pastel shades in muted colors.
In minimalism, molding, moldings and other decorative elements that take up extra space in the interior should be abandoned.
To decorate the room, you can use paintings made in soothing colors or panels.
Scandi
This popular style is characterized by the combination of blue tones with white, light gray or beige.
Scandi bedroom interiors are characterized by a choice of modern furniture, light-colored textiles, which may contain dark blue patterns.
Another option for a bright accent addition is fabrics with a contrasting pattern. They will add liveliness to the interior and allow you to dilute the cool Scandinavian motifs.
Shades of blue - what is fashionable in 2022
The blue palette consists of many shades, each of which gives its own sound to the interior. The most popular are the following options.
Turquoise
The use of turquoise makes the bedroom sophisticated and refined. There is no deliberate luxury in it, but such an interior looks fresh and light, fitting well into various styles.
Turquoise bedroom will look interesting both in monochrome design and with the addition of other shades: cream, light yellow, coffee, pink.
Azure
Azure shades create a feeling of air and freedom in the space, making the room weightless. This color is associated with the sea and the sky, gives a feeling of carelessness and dreaminess.
In itself, the azure is a rather complex shade, and therefore it needs to choose the right color palette that can emphasize its advantages.
Pairing this color with white and gray is a good option: they make the overall color scheme cool and soothing.
Cornflower blue
Cornflower blue is a deep color with a hint of purple. It fits perfectly into the interior of adult and children's bedrooms, helping to cope with emotional overstrain and contributing to quality rest.
This is a fresh shade that revitalizes thinking and fills people with creative energy. It is used mainly for monochrome design and goes well with light colors in decoration and when choosing furniture.
Aqua
This color is an excellent option for creating a soft tone base for any interior.
It becomes a kind of neutral background, for which both light and dark furniture are equally well suited.
The color of the sea wave is able to visually expand the space when combined with light tones, as it can take on the reflections of the shades surrounding it.
This interior design option adds coolness and tranquility to the bedroom.
Sky Blue
This color palette looks clean and transparent, but it's important to remember that it's a cool color that needs to be used with care.
Heavenly color is good for relaxation and helps to fall asleep quickly. It creates opportunities for a visual increase in space, turning the bedroom into a luxurious apartment.
These tones look gentle, but to dilute the monochrome interior, they will need to be combined with pastel shades or white.
Combination of blue with other shades
Blue color goes well with cold, warm and neutral shades. To make the blue bedroom look harmonious, you can use a variety of color combinations.
The combination of blue with pink, peach and coral colors will create a warm and cozy interior.
Tandem with pale green, mint, azure and white shades will fill the space with coolness and spring freshness.
Against the background of neutral shades, blue textiles, bedding and decorative gizmos of the same color will look great.
White and blue
The most popular color combination is the blue and white tandem. It is quite easy to create such an interior, and the blue and white bedroom will look very elegant and elegant. In it you will feel freshness and coolness in the summer heat. And in winter, beautiful lamps that emit diffused light will help fill the room with warmth.
Gorgeous white furniture will fit perfectly into the blue space.
In modern bedrooms, the combination of white and blue will emphasize the simplicity of forms, the elegance of finishes and fabrics. A bed with blue pillows and a bedspread, weightless white or sky-colored curtains, paintings with seascapes, strict lamps with blue lampshades or crystal elements are perfect for light walls.
Gray and blue
A gray-blue bedroom will look modern and stylish, which can be decorated in two versions. You can make the main background gray. It will slightly earth the lightness of the blue hue, which will make the interior of the room a little restrained, but very elegant.
Against a gray background, blue curtains, bedspreads, carpets and furniture will be brighter and more expressive. For textiles, you can choose fabrics with a glossy surface, velvet and silk. Graceful gilded decorative elements, crystal chandeliers and table lamps, mirrors in beautiful frames will perfectly decorate such an interior.
If blue is chosen for wall decoration, then do not overload the space with decor of the same shade. It is better to lay a light gray or silver bedspread on the bed. For window decoration, white transparent tulle and gray curtains are ideal. To prevent the bedroom from being too pale, it is better to add a few bright accents to your liking.
Beige and blue
This color combination is ideal for owners who prefer warm colors in interior design. Textured beige walls will be the perfect backdrop for blue textiles, bedside rugs and decorative ornaments.
It is better to lay blue bedding on the bed, and use pillows and bedspreads of the same shade as decor. Beige color will warm the cool blue interior, will create an atmosphere of natural harmony and tranquility.
It is better to use a sand-colored floor, which will go well with light-colored furniture made of natural wood.
Airy fabrics in heavenly shades can be chosen for window decoration, which should be combined with other textiles.
Mirrors, lamps, wall panels in blue tones will decorate the beige-blue bedroom.
Green and blue
This interior gravitates towards natural motifs, and therefore is often diluted with splashes of sandy tones, evoking associations with the beach and relaxation.
In this case, it is recommended to make blue the leading color in the interior, and use green as an accent when choosing decor and accessories.
It is advisable to choose items made in warm colors of green.
Yellow and blue
Like the previous version, yellow and blue are an organic natural combination. They embody the sky and the sun in the interior, forming a space filled with air and light.
The combination of these shades brings a good mood, gives cheerfulness and energy.
Brown and blue
When designing a bedroom in brown and blue, the main thing is not to use too much dark color.
The most successful solution would be to use a blue tint in the decoration of the walls and ceiling. Against such a background, brown polished furniture made of expensive wood looks bright and respectable.
Chocolate or coffee curtains with beautiful drapery, decorative fringe and tiebacks will be an excellent window decoration. For them, you can take both heavy and dense fabrics, as well as very light, translucent ones.
Curtains will go well with pillows and bedspreads on the bed in the same color scheme.
A brown and blue bedroom should be well lit. In such an interior, it is better to hang a chandelier in a classic style made of crystal or with several glass shades.
Be sure to match it with table lamps and wall lamps, which are best hung at the head of the bed.
Black and blue
The combination of black and blue in one space is an interesting and at the same time dangerous combination in terms of design. An excessive amount of black can form a rather aggressive composition, which will not be saved by the tenderness of blue tones.
To avoid this, dilute the space with complementary colors such as green or beige.
In this case, you can decorate a refined and refined bedroom in different styles.
Turquoise and blue
This monochrome interior will fill the space with a sense of calm and lightness. It helps to distract from worries, relieve stress and relax.
It is important that the bedroom does not become monochromatic by using turquoise and blue in the same space.
To solve this problem, it is recommended to combine them with white, which will help to distinguish between the presence of shades in the same space.
Rose blue
In this case, the best solution would be a combination of cool blue tones with warm pink tones. This combination will bring comfort and coziness to the space, helping to relax and creating a sense of calm.
This format is well suited for a romantic and sophisticated bedroom. To add variety to the interior, it is recommended to use yellow, blue or olive colors used as bright accents.
Blue and blue
The dark blue tone adds a richer touch to the bedroom and serves as a great backdrop to highlight the coolness of the blue hue. All this allows you to make the space more expressive and bright.
Blue-blue - a deep and rich color, symbolizing peace, tranquility and silence.
It should be diluted with gray, white or light beige to dilute the uniformity of the interior.
Lilac and Blue
Lilac combined with blue gives the room a special touch, adding a kind of mystery.
Delicate lilac pairs well with light shades of blue, filling the room with depth and tranquility.
Lilac is best used as a complementary color that forms expressive accents in space, and the leading role in this pair should be given to calm blue tones.

Dressing ideas
Blue shades help to ensure calm sleep, rest and pacification. This makes them a suitable base color option for finishing.
They also pair well with beiges, greys, whites or browns, which help bring out the depth of the blue, making the space more organic.
Walls
Blue wallpaper in the bedroom will be a suitable option for various interiors, according to their style.
Vinyl or non-woven wallpaper is recommended, textiles may be suitable for some rooms.
Cool shades will look appropriate in bedrooms located on the sunny side .
Warm tones of blue, characterized by brightness and saturation, will be an excellent solution for northern bedrooms .
Both monochromatic textures without a pattern and coatings with various prints are becoming popular wallpaper options.
For a blue bedroom, you should not choose complex patterns, it is best to limit yourself to simple ornaments.
An interesting option for decorating a bedroom is the use of wall panels: the room is completely pasted over with blue wallpaper without a print, and on one wall there is a panel with patterned wallpaper.
To give the bedroom a fresh and clean feeling, blue wallpaper can be combined with similar colors, such as azure or turquoise fabrics.
It is important to remember that the use of blue visually enlarges the space, and therefore sharp transitions between walls, floors and ceilings should be avoided.
Ceiling
For blue bedrooms, the best option is to use tension structures that allow you to add freedom to the room, expanding the boundaries of space.
To do this, you can use not only standard white designs, but also experiment with color schemes.
Choice of blue, turquoise, sky shade for stretch ceiling is allowed. It is worth giving preference to the glossy version, as it will help to make the ceiling higher.
Glossy surfaces reflect light well, which allows you to fill the space with air and a feeling of lightness.
It is also acceptable to decorate the ceiling with plaster or paint. For this, traditional white colors should be used.
Suspended ceilings for these bedrooms are less relevant, but moldings can be added when using them.
It is recommended to stick to pastel colors, and if you want to add brightness with small accents.
In spacious bedrooms, the use of multi-level plasterboard structures looks more appropriate.
If the ceiling is blue, it can be decorated with cloud patterns or floral prints in soothing shades.
Flooring
Flooring should be done using natural materials such as parquet, laminate or tiles.
Light, warm colors are recommended, but some bedrooms may benefit from darker tones. So, for example, when decorating a sky-blue bedroom, a brown floor will look more organic.
White coating is a versatile option, but rather difficult to maintain. Therefore, it is worth giving preference to beige. It is as light as white, but not as easily soiled, making it more suitable for flooring.
Furnishing features
No matter what style the blue bedroom is decorated in, the choice of furniture must be approached with special attention. It is best to install a bed, bedside tables, chest of drawers, tables and chairs made of wood. It can be natural color with lacquered surfaces.
White, cream, beige and brown furniture will perfectly fit into the blue interior.
It will emphasize the airiness and freshness of the blue space.
But it is better not to use black and very dark furniture, because it will make the room gloomy and rough.
Blue bed in the bedroom
The blue bed is a bright color accent that should stand out from the rest of the design. Its addition is recommended in white and blue bedrooms, where white acts as a background to reveal the blue palette.
In such an interior, a blue bed will look appropriate and will not be lost against the background of decoration.
It is recommended to choose a bed darker than the basic blue used for the bedroom.
Blue wardrobe in the bedroom
In a room with rich blue walls, a dark blue wardrobe will look good. However, it is important to dilute the monotony of the interior with other shades, for example, beige, light brown or gray.
They are able to shade the depth of the blue and delimit the space in such a way that the blue wardrobe looks appropriate.
White furniture
The most successful option for blue bedrooms is white furniture, which fits universally into any interior.
White bedroom set made of natural wood will be a suitable addition to both light and dark bedrooms. It will add comfort and elegance to the space.
White furniture with mirror inserts or elements made of silver will look interesting.
A bed with a white frame, light nightstands, a wardrobe with a large mirror will be an organic part of the blue bedroom.
Dark furniture
Dark furniture is used less often, since in this case there is a risk of making a pronounced contrast transition.
This option is well suited to bedrooms decorated in dark blue monochrome tones.
In this case, a dark bed is acceptable, which allows you to add liveliness to a neutral environment and create a compositional center.
Curtains and textiles
Curtains and textiles should be selected in accordance with the general color scheme of the walls.
It is important that the curtains emphasize the features of the chosen style, without drawing attention to themselves.
When choosing blankets and pillows, you should also take into account the leading shade in the interior. However, here you can give preference to textiles, which differ from the main color by several tones.
Win-win options
The choice of textiles is determined primarily by the characteristics of the blue bedroom. Adding a bedspread made in light and cool shades will help to give the room a fresher look. The use of warm shades adds warmth and tenderness.
When choosing curtains, you should pay attention to fabrics with different textures, which can change their color based on the lighting.
To create an atmosphere of luxury and high cost, fabrics with elegant draperies are suitable, which will be combined with the tone of the canopy above the bed.
To create a minimalist and calm design, opt for straight curtains on the eyelets or use white tulle curtains.
Which curtains go with blue walls
Blue walls allow you to experiment with curtains in the interior. Both straight blue curtains and light ones, decorated with light patterns with the addition of white tulle, will look good with them. The last option is a universal solution for any blue bedroom.
Also, if desired, you can use two-tone curtains, which will be an excellent solution for an interior made in blue shades. In such a bedroom, gray-white or gray-blue curtain options will organically look.
Blue curtains and tulle in the bedroom
Snow-white tulle is a classic option for decorating any bedroom. It looks appropriate in combination with straight blue curtains, which can have a light or dark shade, based on the design of the walls.
Bedspread in the blue interior of the bedroom
Another important decorative element in the bedroom is the bedspread. It can be plain or decorated using a pattern.
It is not recommended to choose bizarre, complex ornaments as a pattern. It is better to give preference to simple geometric elements like stripes or use a floral print.
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.
The bedspread can be 2-3 shades lighter or darker than the leading blue tone used to decorate the bedroom. This helps to form the right color accents and dilute the color scheme of the interior.
Small blue bedroom - how to use space
A small bedroom decorated in blue tones visually looks more spacious. This effect is formed due to the distance of surfaces painted in blue shades. Therefore, this color palette is great for small spaces.

You can complement the effect of expanding the room with light-colored furniture. It is advisable to choose white furniture, as it does not visually clutter up the space and emphasizes the features of the color palette used.
In small spaces, a rational solution would be to use small lamps to help form a local illumination.
To do this, give preference to bedside lamps or sconces located above the bed.
Children's room in blue
Blue shades are great for children's bedrooms. This color scheme allows you to add calmness to the space, sets you up for relaxation and helps you fall asleep quickly, and therefore is a suitable option for both girls and boys.
At the same time, the interior design of each room has its own nuances.
For girls
Despite the fact that blue is considered a "boyish" color, modern interior designers are actively using it in girls' bedrooms.
Delicate blues can be paired with muted pinks and pale lavenders to create an air of intimacy and mystery.
In girls' bedrooms, adding floral prints to blues is a good idea.
Boys
In boys' bedrooms, blue is usually mixed with beiges and pastels. This allows you to create a harmonious interior in almost any style direction.
