Is your bedroom is a little lackluster?

Is it dated and needs 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 at 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, walnut) 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.

White paint colors for a bedroom

A white bedroom is very popular right now and is timeless and calming!

White walls are a gorgeous canvas to add pops of color with accents.

White walls also make bedroom furniture look stylish and chic!

Two of my favorite white paint colors are:

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

More Color Scheme Tips:

Soothing bedroom color schemes are also created with:

• your bedroom flooring – white oak LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is a big trend right now. Beige wall to wall carpet in a low pile will also create a soothing bedroom color palette
• layers of soft bed linens in white
• a bed frame in a light wood or upholstered fabric
• soft furnishings like upholstered accent chairs – creamy white boucle accent chairs are a big trend right now and will make your bedroom feel calm and soothing
• lighting – be sure to use soft white lightbulbs and put your ceiling light and table lamps on dimmers

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

Adding your personality and interests will create a haven that you’ll love to spend time in.

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.
