How Bedroom Paint Colors Influence Mood
Do you need a wake up spark to motivate you? Or do you prefer a cocoon for a pure respite? Keep these color tips in mind:
Soft, warm colors are often used for cozy and intimate spaces
Cool hues create calm, yet refreshing atmospheres
Deeply saturated paint colors energize and envelop
If your ultimate goal is simply a tranquil bedroom, you can never go wrong with neutrals, off-white and soft gray paint colors.
Sync Up the Perfect Paint Color
When selecting paint colors for the bedroom, take cues from bedding fabrics and window treatments. Find a color that resonates with you from a favorite bedroom accessory and use it as a foundation for your bedroom paint color palette.
Here, soft Bird’s Egg 2051-60 on the walls effortlessly pairs with the blue-accented duvet, throw pillows, and the bedside chest, painted in Wythe Blue HC-143.

Explore your Bedroom's Fifth Wall
When it comes to a bedroom paint color ideas, the ceiling is often overlooked. While classic white paint is a perennial favorite, a pop of ceiling color enhances a bedroom's character. Here, Concord Ivory HC-12 is an interesting ceiling color choice paired with Metropolitan AF-690 on the lower panel insets and Barren Plain 2111-60 on the upper panels.
Especially in a small room or a room with a lower ceiling, lighter ceiling paint colors can make a room look larger and taller. We love Summer Shower 2135-60, Beacon Gray 2128-60, and Hollingsworth Green HC-141. Look for a ceiling color that is a lighter shade or slight variation of your wall color.
