Bedroom Paint Ideas - Some Inspired Suggestions For Your Bedroom

Bored of the colour of your bedroom? Fancy changing things up. Have a look at our suggestions for an inspirational change of colour to your bedroom. We’re sure you’ll find a colour that suits your taste.

Colorful dreams

If you want a colourful bedroom, first start by getting a bedspread set in your favorite colors. Then you can adjust the colors of other items and accessories in the room according to the bedspread. The walls can create a harmony with one colour from the bedspread, and accessories can play off other colours in the design too. As you can see in the picture, the white curtains have made the room feel bright and pleasant.

Modern Metallic Colors

If you’re wanting to revamp your bedroom (or any other room in your home) with a simple colour, we recommend considering light and natural colours like shades of grey and purple. These shades can be used on walls, curtains and lamps. Combining different shades of this colour will create a lively yet natural background. In the fore you add splashes of colour, like the rose pink blankets and patterned pillows. Transparent bedside table and lamp complete this stylish look.

Vibrant Colour Tones

Mint green wells and cyan tones work really harmoniously here. Since they’re both vibrant colours, white is used to relax the colour palette in the room somewhat. The dark blue lines of the zebra patterned rug and the additional coral colours interspersed around the room create a warm contrast.

Patterned Walls

Pale green walls and olive green bedspread?! It works though - both use differing shades of green to create a nice overall harmony. The green is also preferred for the quilt and pillow covers, but balances with whites and browns. The white is also preferred for the nightstands and hanging lamps, creating a strong contrast with the greens that are present and helping to illuminate the space as a whole.

Complementary Details

Orange and Blue are on the opposite ends of the colour wheel, so therefore create an eye-catching and complementary effect when utilised together. The white walls, flooring and furniture in the bedroom softens the sky blue and pumpkin orange. The room is vibrant and eye-catching, but the white brings it all together to create a relaxing atmosphere that isn’t overpowered by colour.

Don't be Afraid to be Different

Here, vintage furniture is renovated and given a new lease of life. The dark wooden flooring and classic headboard give the room a noble look, whilst the pink sofa in front of the bed adds a playful element.

Brilliant like Embers

If you opt to use colourful and eye-catching bedding, make sure you choose your wall paint from natural colours for a modern and simple look. Here, the bedroom walls, wardrobes and flooring are white which emphasises the bold bedding, and balances the colours in the room. Rather than using a single bright tone heavy handedly, try to use these vivid colours in small amounts throughout the room to create a balance. The blue tone used in the bedding is also seen in other accessories around the room - on the table, and on shelves.

A Single Colour Takes the Lead

Here, a single colour takes the lead throughout the room. The same shade of blue is used for the curtains, furniture and bed. When you have decided on your single colour, you can start by finding fabric materials that match this colour. Remember - colours are almost endless. Certain things like walls and some items of furniture can be painted to match with your colour of choice, but the same can’t be said for fabric. So, choose wisely, and try to only incorporate a couple of design elements in this colour. The main colour here, cyan, is used consistently throughout the room, whilst the coffee brown is complementary and creates a nice balance.

Using Patterns

Using fun and exciting patterns in your bedroom is also another option, but we have a few top tips to prevent your room turning into a total tangle. When using multiple patterns, make sure to keep one of them fairly plain. In the picture, although the bedspread is patterned, it’s able to break the effect of the other patterned items (coloured pillows, smaller bedspread, painting) because it consists of two simple colours - black and white. As this bedspread is the largest pattern in size in the room, it dominates the space whilst providing a balance to the other patterns interspersed around the room. Take note of the harmony between colours. If you want to go down a similar route, choose your colours and patterns wisely and you can end up with amazing results.

Add some depth

The walls, a fairly inconspicuous light blue, add a tremendous amount of depth to the room. The white bedspread and pale blue walls aren’t contrasting one another and so they create the perfect backdrop for the yellow and navy blue patterned pillows. The most prominent feature of the room is the dark wooden bed, which becomes the focus of the bedroom.
