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.

In this mostly white bedroom, blue accents contribute just enough color to add interest, while keeping the space light and airy.

Create a serene retreat with cool grays, soft whites, and muted blues. The soft colors and tone-on-tone look give this room an elevated, hotel-like elegance.

Bedroom with Blue Ceiling

A blue wallpapered ceiling is an unexpected touch that gives this bedroom a moody, dramatic quality. The deep teal walls and striking crystal chandelier reinforce the sense of drama, as does the stark contrast of the crisp white bedding. When using bold colors, textural elements ,such as bamboo window shades or a soft faux fur throw, are a great way to bring in some warmth and tone down strong colors.

Nature-Inspired Bedroom with Blue Accents

You don't have to paint walls to achieve a blue bedroom. Sometimes, a subtle pop of color in the form of throw pillows, a blanket, or a patterned area rug is enough to completely transform a room. Paired with a wood bed frame and nightstand, hanging baskets, and solid white walls and bedding, the blue accents add a calming layer without interfering with the neutral look.

Deep teal walls paired with mustard yellow, bright pink, and crisp white give this bedroom a playful vibe. The white bedding, nightstand, and pouf cut through the saturated colors and create stark contrast. A wicker chair tones down the bold colors and adds a natural element to this boho-style bedroom.

Dark Blue Bedroom

Deep royal-blue walls form the perfect backdrop for an eclectic collection of art, furniture, and decor in this moody bedroom. Gilded frames and white lampshades pop against the dark walls. White bedding and colorful throw pillows break up the saturated colors, they also tie in the white lampshades on the cabinets flanking the bed. If you don't have space for a formal nightstand, consider using a tray table, like this acrylic and brass version.

Mixing gray and brown used to be a design faux pas, but layering the two colors creates a sophisticated look. This neutral bedroom expertly pulls off this color combination, along with a subtle pop of light blue on the pillows.

When using a saturated wall color like the deep blue in this bedroom, use plenty of white accents to brighten the space. The clean lines and stark contrast between the white accents and dark walls create a clean, refreshing look. A mirror above the bed helps bounce light around.

If you're not ready to commit to blue walls, add the color in a smaller dose with an accent piece. The sky-blue dresser in this all-white bedroom doubles as a nightstand and adds a touch of personality to the space. Hardwood floors and a wood lamp add warmth and balance the crisp white walls and bedding.

Paneled walls, a slate-blue headboard and coastal artwork give this bedroom an elevated beach vibe. The white-washed paneling creates a neutral backdrop for the different shades of blue used in the room, including a navy bed skirt and turquoise throw blanket. The blue hues are reminiscent of water, and are repeated in the painting on the wall, which ties the space together.

For a more formal look, turn to navy blue. Dark trim on the walls and ceiling set the scene for patterned wallpaper and a navy blue upholstered headboard. A mix of chevron throw pillows and an embroidered blanket break up the solid upholstery and introduce both geometric and organic patterns. For visual balance, cool gray carpeting helps tone down the bold colors and contrast.
