As cooler weather approaches, the Complete Paint & Supplies team naturally starts thinking about fall interior decor makeovers. A bedroom is a fine place to start; we have high-quality paints to complete these projects with style. Whether you hope to repaint walls, ceilings, or accents, Benjamin Moore has colors that can completely refresh the feel of that all-important room.
The Best Bedroom Paint Colors for Walls
Bedroom walls set the tone for this space, so they are the first consideration. Lighter shades brighten the room, while darker tones add warmth and depth. Your selections should make your bedroom feel comfortable and inviting.
Try soft shades of blue or muted gray for a calm, peaceful effect. Or, go darker for a bolder statement; balance charcoal and navy paint with light-colored bedding, furniture, and accessories. Pale blues and grays can function as neutrals that complement most decor themes.
Exciting Paint Colors for Bedrooms
White, beige, blue, and gray are traditional bedroom colors and are always in style. Want to explore other options? Look for ones that enhance your mood.
- Hunter green can also be relaxing.
- Bright yellow can energize morning wake-up times.
- Earthy tones like taupe also promote calmness.
- If you have kids in the house, a bubblegum pink or a rich teal might cheer them up.
Accent Wall Paint Ideas for Bedrooms
We encourage clients to try bolder paint colors. But if that seems like too much, consider painting one accent wall in a darker color than the other three. Dark brown, deep red, or sable are terrific fall colors that add depth to sophisticated bedrooms.
You can also inject personality through headboards and furniture’s painting trim, baseboards, and molding, which will highlight those architectural details. The accent color doesn’t always have to be darker; experiment with dark walls and light trim, for example.
The Best Paint Colors for Bedroom Ceilings Aren’t Always White
Don’t overlook your bedroom ceiling during this fall makeover; it can also impact the space. While many homeowners default to plain white, a slightly tinted ceiling adds coziness. Light blues and other pale interior paint tones create a gentle contrast that draws the eye upward and makes the space feel larger.
For a more daring approach, try painting the ceiling the same light color as your walls. This monochromatic effect works well in smaller bedrooms, making the room feel more expansive. A darker ceiling can also add drama.
Add Unexpected Color to Doors and Built-In Features
Painting bedroom doors, closets, or other built-in features is another way to incorporate color into your space without overwhelming it. Instead of keeping these elements the same shade as your trim, choose a complementary color for interest. For inspiration, look at hues in your bedding, flooring, or furniture.
Like other accents, doors or built-in features are great ways to experiment with trending or seasonal colors you may not want to commit to on your walls. You can refresh the room without having to repaint its entirety. If you want to change the look down the line, these smaller areas are easier to update.
