A bit dated and needs a little sprucing up?

Change your color scheme and infuse your bedroom with new color accents and a new wall color!

It’s so important to create a relaxing oasis in your bedroom so you can recharge your batteries after a long day of work!

Warm or Cool Color Scheme

Decide on whether you want a warm or cool color scheme in your bedroom.

A warm color scheme is good for south facing rooms that get warm natural light.

A cool color scheme works with north facing rooms that receive cool northern light.

Warm color schemes are achieved with orange, yellow and pink paint colors, warm wood tones (blond wood) and warm metallics.

Blue, plum, and green paint colors as well as cool metallics, cool wood tones (gray, black wood) will create a cool color scheme.

Don’t forget about the color of your bedroom ceiling!

The ceiling is the 5th wall and a great way to infuse another layer of color like light blue, misty gray or a bold color like black or deep blue.

Just make sure the ceiling color coordinates with your wall color!

Add Color To The Bedroom with Metallic Finishes

You bedroom color scheme isn’t complete without metallics!

Pick your favorite metallic finish for your lighting, furniture pulls/knobs, door knobs and curtain hardware.

Brushed nickel, and black finish will create a cool color scheme.
Brass, bronze and gold will create a warm color scheme.

The most popular metal finishes right now are matte black, brass and nickel.

Bedroom Furniture Color Ideas

A bedroom color scheme must include the color of your furniture: bed, nightstands, dressers, bench ect.

Popular furniture colors are:

white oak
medium toned brown stains such as walnut
white painted wood
black painted wood

Bedroom furniture is obviously one of the first things to select when designing your bedroom.

Keep these colors in mind when selecting new bedroom furniture pieces.

Design tip: Do not buy matching bedroom furniture sets! That’s a dated look that isn’t popular today.

The on trend bedroom furniture look is: an upholstered bed, wood nightstands, wood dressers, upholstered or wood bench at the end of the bed and upholstered accent chairs.

Keep the bedroom furniture colors cohesive, but not matchy-matchy, for a pulled together look.

Design tip: How to Make Your Home Look Cohesive and Pulled Together – The Right Way!

Note – If you have a matching bedroom furniture set I recommend breaking it up.

Add the bed to a guest room, keep the nightstands and dressers in the primary bedroom and buy a new upholstered bed or wood bed in a different stain/color that coordinates
A metal bed will also update your bedroom and break up the matchy-matchy bedroom set look
Alternatively you can replace the nightstands in the set with new ones in a color that works with your new color scheme
Lastly you can remove a matchy-matchy dresser or two by adding a new organizational system to your closet and storing the majority of your clothes there. This may also open up room in your bedroom for a small seating area!
Or buy a white or black dresser to break up the set

Creating a gorgeous bedroom that reflects your style will make your home feel more like you!

Remember – all of our rooms today have multiple uses. The bedroom is no exception!

Function is very important in design – so go ahead and create a beautiful bedroom space to read in and watch TV in!

However I advise to not add a home office space in your bedroom!

It can create a cluttered, stressful environment that’s best reserved for a separate room.
