1. Neutral Paint Colors

Regarding bedrooms, neutral colors are a classic and perhaps the safest choice. Colors like white, egg

white, ivory, gray, taupe, and beige are just a few examples of neutral paint colors for bedrooms.

Neutral colors are good for bedrooms because they provide a clean setting to incorporate brighter

colors in your artwork, bedding, carpentry, and curtains. To elevate the space, you can use textured

accessories, layered bedding, and vibrant patterns and colors.

Of course, before you opt for neutral paint color, you must consider its underlying tone. Most neutral

colors like white and gray are not pure colors. They are typically mixed with subtle hues of other colors

to create undertones.

You want to ensure that the undertone of the neutral color matches your beddings, furnishings,

carpeting, etc. Otherwise, the result may disappoint you. For example, pink carpets and bedding may

not look good against a white paint color with a blue undertone.

2. Pastel Paint Colors

Pastel paint colors are perhaps your best bet for a relaxing bedroom, as every personal space should be.

These are soft, peaceful colors like light shades of pink, lavender, green, or soft blue. The great thing

about pastel paint colors is that they can also make your bedroom look incredibly elegant.

Many people opt to paint a single wall in pastel colors, to enhance the look of the space, but you can

always cover the entire room in it. It is easy to complement pastel walls with light gray accessories, a

few washed-out matching pieces, or darker furnishings.

3. Bold Paint Colors

Of course, you can always opt for bright or bold paint colors for a refreshing look. Colors like deep reds,

dark blues, bright greens, or magenta are just a few bold colors you can consider. If the color makes you

happy, you shouldn't let anything stop you from painting your bedroom in it.

Such bold colors can be incredibly energetic for the right person. However, we recommend you balance

it with a few thoughtfully selected lively pieces. It is also important to remember that dark colors can

make a space look smaller, especially if there is less natural light.

Consider painting a single, accent wall with a bold color if your bedroom is small. Similarly, if your

bedroom is narrow or long, you can emphasize its length by painting one of the longer walls in a bold

paint.

Our Final Thoughts

We hope the mentioned types of paint colors help you narrow down your choice. Your bedroom is a

personal space; you shouldn't let anyone or anything dictate its look. Ultimately, you have to live in the

space, so choose a color that makes you happiest.

that impedes your relaxation or doesn't match your mood or furnishings.
