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.

8 Tips For Choosing Beautiful Ceiling Colors

Add Color 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.

Bedroom Furniture Color Ideas

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

Popular furniture colors are:

blond, bleached and white wood stain
light grey stain
medium toned brown stains like walnut
white painted wood
black painted wood

Bedroom furniture is obviously one of the first places to start when designing your bedroom.

Keep these colors in mind when selecting new pieces.

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

On trend bedroom furniture looks use pieces that combine a upholstered bed, upholstered bed and upholstered accent chairs with wood nightstands and wood dressers.

Mix up the stain colors and pant color in the furniture to create a layered, stylish look.

Keep the 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!

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

Add the bed to a guest room and buy a new upholstered bed or wood bed in a different stain/color.

A metal bed will also update your bedroom and break up the matching bedroom set look.

Alternatively you can replace your nightstands 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.
