Our Favorite Blue Bedroom Color Schemes

Light-Blue Bedrooms

Light-blue walls are a great way to create a crisp and clean look in a bedroom. They add just enough color without being overpowering, and create a serene atmosphere. Continue the blue color scheme throughout the space with patterned curtains, blue-and-white bedding, and artwork. Pairing light-blue elements with neutrals, such as this room's textured bamboo window shades and cream upholstered headboard, helps create balance and a layered look.

Blue Bedroom Accents

If you don't want to paint your bedroom walls blue, a great way to add color is through window treatments. The deep teal window panels and valance in this primary bedroom add an element of sophisticated drama to an otherwise neutral room, and draw the eyes up to create a sense of height. The matching blue velvet throw pillows add a luxurious accent to the bed and make the space feel polished.

Blue and Orange Bedroom

Use deep navy and saturated orange for a colorful yet elegant bedroom color scheme. Blue and orange are complementary colors directly opposite one another on the color wheel, so they'll always look great together. Don't be afraid to feature two bold colors in the same room—just use them sparingly and mix them with calming, textured neutrals for balance.

Blue and White Bedroom

In this mostly white bedroom, blue accents contribute just enough color to add interest, while keeping the space light and airy. Indigo throw pillows and square poufs bring a splash of color and pattern and a seagrass rug helps ground the room with natural texture.
