As an interior decorator, I am constantly being asked about the best bedroom colors for this style or that style, and the shades that would look good in a small room vs a large room. I am here to tell you that there is no right or wrong answer for the types of bedroom paint color ideas you should use in your space. Color palettes for a room are very personal and reflex what you find to be most relaxing. I personally love a gray master bedroom like this because I find the soft pewter hue to be quite serene, plus it goes well alongside traditional decor or contemporary pieces like we used here. In general, when in doubt, I recommend neutral shades like this, but do not be afraid to experiment with bold colors if that is what inspires you.
To me, the best bedroom colors are those that you personally find serene and relaxing. For some, those are soft neutral shades, while others prefer bold and vibrant designs. I really enjoy monochromatic color palettes that feature soft gray bedroom walls like this. I find it very tranquil to have a monochromatic color palette that does not distract you while you are trying to fall asleep. One unique element that is a bit out of my comfort zone is this gold foiled ceiling though. I ordinarily do not go for bright or vibrant bedroom color schemes like this, but I think that it is very cheerful and provides a nice pop of color against the simple grey walls. The look is not too overwhelming and still looks fantastic with the rest of the modern pieces in the room.
The best bedroom colors for a cool contemporary design like we used in this master suite are soft shades of grey and taupe. Master bedroom paint colors in monotone shades tones like this create a very relaxing and zen vibe that is further escalated by the unique modern pieces we accented the simple ebony canopy bed with. I am not sure if you can fully appreciate it from these photos, but the back wall is actually a darker charcoal shade intended to make it pop as a focal point in the room. The remain walls and ceilings have a softer shade of cloud grey that softens the look. This is a great way to bring personality to grey bedroom ideas that may otherwise be a bit too drab from some tastes.
I have always thought that the best bedroom colors for kids rooms are in the more neutral family rather than those bold bright colors you usually see. My reasoning for this is that kids bedroom ideas usually feature vibrant patterns, lots of toys, and usually character prints from their favorite shows or movies. Combining all of this with really rich wall colors can be a bit overpowering, especially considering that it can be a challenge to get kids to relax and unwind at the end of the night anyways. I think that the best bedroom paint colors for kids are muted beiges and grey like we used in this room because they can easily blend well with whatever decor preferences your child has over the years.
I am looking for the best bedroom colors to make our current traditional style bedroom look like more of a French Country design. I was very inspired by the exposed wood beam at the top of our lofted ceiling but I think that we needed to liven up the bedroom paint ideas in order to make that element pop. The boring beige and white shades that we have now make everything blend into the background without any real style. Although I know that I need knew bedroom wall painting techniques, I am not sure what direction to take it. I worry that a deep red or green would be too much for a bedroom, but I don't want to go down a neutral path again. Do any designers have suggestions for me?
When clients ask me to pick the best bedroom colors for their home, it can be a challenging task because the shades you use for these very personal spaces reflect what makes you "tick" as a person. Some people love very bold and loud bedroom wall colors that inspire and excite them from the moment they walk in the door. Others prefer more muted shades that instantly relax you as soon as you see them. This grey, black and white bedroom is a great example of how to balance the two personality extremes into a single space that is serene yet energetic, and full of cool contemporary style. I soft grey wall creates a lovely backdrop against the rich blue, black and white tones of the linens and accent furniture.
