The bedroom is of great importance in every apartment. And it’s good when the area allows and it is possible to allocate a separate room for this, having designed it at its discretion. The bedroom is the place where comfort and coziness come first, and special attention needs to be paid to this. Along with such important tasks as buying a comfortable bed, arranging lighting, the question will surely arise: how to choose the color of the walls in the bedroom.
Basic selection rules
Before you go to the store for building materials, you need to make at least an approximate general plan to understand what color the floors, ceiling, walls will be in the bedroom. Based on this, it is easier to choose furniture options and decor elements. A you should also decide on the style, it also depends on which color palette will be preferred - whether it will be plain, light, dark wallpaper or with a pattern. Or maybe it will be panels, painting, tiles or decorative plaster. In order not to get confused in all its diversity, you need to see the general picture of the future premises, and based on this, select the design of the walls.
Of course, the choice remains only with the owner of the apartment, but there are certain nuances that are best taken into account.
- In a small bedroom, it is better to give preference to light tones, which will visually increase the space. But this does not mean that the furniture and curtains should also be light, otherwise everything will merge. Accents are a must.
- In a room where there are no problems with space, you can choose shades and darker, especially if style requires it.In addition, zoning will look good when one wall is painted lighter, the other is darker, one of the walls can have wallpaper with a pattern, and on the other, for example, just painting or plaster.
- The room located on the south side is always full of light. Therefore, the abundance of light can be slightly neutralized by darker (but not gloomy) walls and curtains.
- For the north side, it is better to pick up the light colors of the walls. They will help to make the room easier and more comfortable. If there is a sharp lack of sunlight, you can add warm colors and brighter to the design.
The best tones
Absolutely sound acceptable color exclusively for the bedroom is impossible. In this regard, everyone can have their own opinion, tastes, addictions. The only thing to consider is the chosen style. Already proceeding from it, select the colors of the walls, floor, furniture and decor.
If everything goes together, then you get the perfect bedroom.
Bright
Many, thinking about the design of the bedroom, prefer gentle tones. Especially if it's the bedroom of a girl or girl. But for couples, such options are suitable if the tastes of the spouses coincide. Colors such as mint and lavender give the room tenderness and softness. The color of such walls will be successfully complemented by bedspreads, curtains or a floor lamp in the same gamut. But at the same time, the curtains should be a few tones darker or lighter. For example, olive and pistachio are very suitable for mint. With lavender, blue, blue, white will harmoniously look.
Based on these shades, you can create a very beautiful interior that will not bother for a long time.
Another win-win color scheme, ideal for walls - is peach, beige, coffee with milk. Neutral beige can always be diluted with brighter accents, warm peach or apricot can be balanced with lighter or, conversely, dark tones, depending on the chosen style. It should not be excluded, and pale pink, it also looks very unobtrusive and fresh on the walls. One of the beautiful and harmonious tones can be turquoise or lime.
These are delicate shades and create a soothing, relaxing atmosphere.
Dark
Deeper saturated shades will look appropriate in a spacious southern bedroom, but they must be diluted with bright or light accents. Most often choose gray, blue, dark green, brown colors. With a good choice of furniture and lighting, all of them are also able to make the bedroom a cozy, relaxing room. Brown looks especially good if it is planned to make one of the walls “brick”, and gray will ideally help in imitating a stone surface. Against the background of dark walls, light furniture and curtains can look great.
On dark walls, the ornament will look good. It can be one wall, while others will be plain.
Bright
Although too catchy tones are most often not popular in the bedroom, there are those who bring to life the most daring decisions, even in this room. But you should immediately consider that you can experiment with bright colors in the bedroom for those who have an idea of the laws of design and have an artistic taste. Otherwise, you can spoil the room with a rash step. But if the contrasting colors do not cause irritation and are perceived comfortably, you can experimentcombining red with black, yellow with white, burgundy with brown. For example, both the light and dark furniture palette will fit the same yellow or red walls.
Create mood
The bedroom should not only be comfortable, but also pleasant also emotionally. And the colors here play a major role. Some, for example, in their choice they focus on Feng Shui, where each color has its own meaning, namely:
- white color is perfect, it is purity, it frees up space from any negative, prevents quarrels and misunderstandings;
- blue - calming, allowing you to be alone with yourself, direct thoughts in the right direction, focus and make the right decision;
- purple has a positive effect on the whole organism as a whole and has a healing effect, gives strength and energy;
- yellow saturates the room with solar energy and has a life-giving force, improves mood, but with its excess there can be a reverse reaction - the occurrence of irritability and even depression;
- orange tune in to positive and fruitful work, energize and good mood for the whole day;
- red and burgundy - the colors of passion and love, awaken sexual energy.
Which of these colors to choose depends on the preferences of the owners. Someone like to feel in harmony with themselves and the world around them and tune in to meditation, which will be greatly facilitated by the blue and blue tones. And someone wants to see a vigorous yellow and saturated orange in the morning in order to be energized for the whole day.
The combination of walls and furniture
Thanks to the successful design of the room, you can achieve the perfect combination of colors in the bedroom. If you decide to give preference to a light palette when painting walls, then dark furniture will look very good in this space. For instance, if the walls are beige or peach, you can choose furniture in dark brown. The floors should be darker than the walls, but lighter than the furniture. White furniture is also suitable. But the interior will look especially advantageous if you select the dark color of the walls for white furniture and other light furniture. You can stop your choice on blue, green or saturated gray.
If the wallpaper will be with a pattern - geometric or floral, then the elements of furniture should be without additional decoration and elementsto avoid excessive variegation. The same can be said about the curtains. But if, for example, furniture upholstery or a bedspread repeats the print on the wallpaper, then this is another matter. Provided that on one of the walls it was decided to place the murals, the more you should not overload the room with other drawings. Light or dark furniture will advantageously look against the background of such a wall. Other walls should then be plain, like curtains.
Beautiful examples

- The bedroom in light beige tones looks very gentle. Light walls complement furniture that is several tones darker. Dark curtains are also good, which will make daylight more subdued. For evening time, artificial lighting is also thought out. Such an interior will not be bored for a long time, because it is classic, although it is possible that it does not have enough zest in the form of some bright element.
- The bedroom looks very stylish and strict when the walls are painted in a dark blue saturated color, while black furniture and white textile look great on their background. The interior is complemented by a fairly austere lamp and paintings within. Everything is done with taste.
- But the option also looks no worse when one of the walls has a bright saturated shade, while the others at the same time have a gentle tone, but the same color scheme. A large window with simple curtains and curtains complements the design perfectly. The bed is not knocked out of the general style. The interior is complemented by an original lamp on the bedside table and paintings above the bed.
There is nothing superfluous in this room.
- Gray looks very calm and noble on the walls, while the bedspread on the bed perfectly complements the decor, as do light pillows in combination with curtains. There is no riot of colors in the room. Everything has a rest and a peaceful state.
