1. Lake House Bedroom Paint Colors and Color Palette
Let’s start with a color palette:
Fresh white, rich blue, black and gray are all colors you will see on the beach of a lake and in the hues of the water.
Bring these relaxing, neutral colors of mother nature into the bedroom as follows:
White shiplap walls: shiplap will automatically give the bedroom a nautical feeling and it makes the room look cozy too!
White bedroom walls are on trend right now and is the perfect backdrop for furniture and decor!
White drapes, white end tables and a white duvet set: add more layers of fresh bright white.
Gorgeous deep blue: add this pop of color by laying a stunning patterned rug under the bed!
Add gray found in the pebbles on a lake beach: in the textiles by adding a gray plaid throw blanket and gray weathered wood tones in the lamp, headboard and bed frame!
Add black: for contrast in the drapery hardware.
You can also add some watery light blue in the bedding, bedroom decor and accent pillows.
I also advise adding beautiful green color with real or faux plants or stems in a vase.
Colors to avoid: This lake house look does not include pink, blush, violet, lavender or lilac.
