Picking the perfect paint color can make or break the entire look of a bedroom. Color can affect your mood, making you feel energized or calm. It can also make a space look smaller and cozier or open a room up. But there are many things to ponder in deciding on the right shade: Will the year’s trending colors stand the test of time? How do you incorporate new hues into the room’s existing furniture, accents, and décor scheme? And how much should you consider the room’s lighting (or lack thereof)?

Warm White

Whites are a classic favorite neutral. There is a warm white paint color appropriate for every room. Every designer swears by white, and most gravitate to warm white. The creamy undertones keep it from appearing too cold and flat. It adds the right amount of warmth while still feeling crisp and clean.

Complex Cream

When it comes to paint colors, nothing is as ageless as a complex cream. Essentially, we’re talking about creamy beiges with a yellow, green, orange, or pink undertone. They are called ‘complex’ because there are more pigments in them than in a regular cream color.

Navy

While it may seem like a bold and daring choice and one that may date itself, it’s actually the contrary. Navy has a bold elegance and sophistication that will withstand current trends and move nicely into future ones.

Antique White

For an all-white look with just a little oomph, try an antique white paint color for the walls, then paint the trim and other millwork a brighter white to accentuate the pretty detailing. Complete the pretty tone-on-tone with farmhouse classics such as a white iron bed and matelassé bedding.

Warm Brown

Try a medium brown paint color if you’re looking for a neutral that lends a masculine vibe. The rich neutral delivers warmth without overpowering the room and looks great when paired with white trim, natural wood finishes, and navy or dark green bedding.

Light French Gray

The versatility of this neutral gray leans a bit cooler with slight undertones of blue and brown. This calm and serene wall color works much better for bedrooms. It can open up a smaller room’s look and feel while offering enough contrast against stark white trim and white bedroom ceilings.

Light French Gray matches beautifully with a bedroom’s natural or honey oak wood floors. Accordingly, its cool properties help tone down the yellow undertones of lighter wooden floors.

Earthy Green

Bringing earthy greens into the bedroom can also help transform it into a much more grounding space. A mossy or olive green is a warm and trendy color that will transition nicely through time.

Tips for Choosing the Right Colors

Colors that may help you sleep

While you may paint your walls for aesthetic charm, the colors may affect you psychologically, including your capability to sleep. Specific colors may stimulate relaxation, while others stimulate your senses and make you more awake.

Overall, muted colors are the best for your bedroom walls, and blue, green, and yellow may offer the most benefits.

Blue

Blue is perhaps the best color for your bedroom. Not only is it more muted, but blue tones also tend to have more calming effects on the brain. All shades of blue can evoke a tranquil atmosphere but stick with lighter shades on your bedroom walls for the best effect.

Green

Green can be reminiscent of nature, which may put you in a relaxing mood. For many, green is also a harmonizing and refreshing color of choice.

Yellow

While yellow isn’t always sleep-inducing, it can be helpful to wake up in a yellow bedroom because of its happy connotations. As with blue and green, stick with lighter shades that are less likely to distract you from sleep.

Earth Tones

Certain earth tones may also be appropriate for your bedroom walls, as long as they’re not too dark. Other options include beige and soft white. Silver is another alternative that may create a more peaceful atmosphere conducive to better sleep.

Avoid glossy paint

No matter which color you choose, the paint’s finish may be equally important in terms of sleep quality. An overly glossy finish can reflect light and, in turn, stimulate your brain, so aim for a more flat or matte one instead.

As a rule, overly vibrant colors should be avoided in bedrooms. These include loud reds and oranges, which are considered to be energetic and uplifting colors. Red can increase your fight-or-flight instinct, making you more alert and aware of your surroundings.

Bright or neon pinks and purples may also be too stimulating when you’re winding down for sleep. Dark grays and browns aren’t recommended because they may evoke feelings of uncertainty.

Consider a more muted version if you simply must have a more vibrant color. For example, a bright purple may be swapped out for lavender, and fire-engine red can be replaced with a soft salmon shade.

Depending on the layout of your home, you may still be able to incorporate some of the more vibrant colors in other rooms of your home. Consider saving the more energetic colors for your home office or your child’s playroom.

Interior Bedroom Color Advice

We recommend an eggshell finish for any bedroom paint hue instead of a flat or matte sheen. Whether you have a small bedroom or a larger space, headboards, nightstands, or dressers often scuff the walls. Hence, an eggshell finish on your bedroom’s walls is more resilient and more convenient to clean than flatter paint finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

It is commonly said that white is the best color for a bedroom as it signifies zero negativity. White makes everything clean and flawless, and symbolizes purity and peace within the family. Also, you can use colors like light shades of pink and orange for warmth and love among the couples.
Happy colors are bright, warm colors like yellow, orange, pink, and red. Pastel colors like peach, light pink, or lilac can also have an uplifting effect on your mood. The brighter and lighter the color, the more happy and optimistic it will make you feel.
