Choosing paint color
The bedroom is traditionally considered a room where access to strangers is limited. Only household members may be in the room intended for recreation.
To create a calming atmosphere in a relaxation room, it is important to choose the right color scheme.
According to psychologists, for healthy, sound sleep at night and a good morning mood, preference should be given to the following colors:
- Classic bedroom design – pastel. Whitened shades of all colors have a beneficial effect on the psyche, normalize blood pressure and reduce anxiety.
- Subtle colors - beige, coffee, grey, milky, ecru, ivory, as well as the colors of expensive metals - golden, bronze, soft silver - bring respectability to the interior. This color scheme is recommended for people who lack stability in life and faith in their own capabilities.
- Warm shades - soft pink, peach, sand, terracotta create an atmosphere of comfort and promote spiritual communication. In the case where the bedroom windows face the north and northeast, they add the desired light and warmth.
- Cool shades of blue, blue, pistachio, lavender are perfect for rooms facing the sunny side. They create a feeling of freshness and coolness.
- White is one of the most fashionable bedroom colors. In our minds, snow-white walls are associated with ideal cleanliness and impeccable neatness. In addition, apartment owners can choose any bedroom interior design without fear that the color of the walls will contradict their preferred style.

A color scheme
Often, when decorating bedroom walls, two or more colors are used.
The color combination can be of three types:
- Mixing different shades of the same color;
- Combining similar colors, for example, pink and peach;
- Using contrasting colors (blue and muted orange, etc.)
Goethe's color wheel will help you decide which combinations are best to choose.
Black interior
Total black is rare in bedroom interiors, but it looks very impressive. Black tones make the room more graphic and emphasize the strict architecture, making the space more voluminous.

Bedroom Wall Painting Ideas
Linear division is the most common painting method. The wall is divided into parts by horizontal, vertical or oblique lines. With a horizontal solution, borders or moldings are often used.
Stripes on the walls help correct planning flaws. Horizontal stripes “raise” the ceiling, vertical stripes visually expand the space.
- Inserts of a different color are one of the newest design proposals.
- Geometric markings are applied to a surface painted in a monochromatic primary color, which is subsequently decorated in a darker tone.
- Highlighting one wall with a bright color is an original and bold decision.
- This technique is aimed at not creating an excess of brightness in a room intended for relaxation.
- A color accent is appropriate in rooms with monotonous furnishings or a non-standard layout.
Stencil designs are another fashionable option for decorating a bedroom space. Particularly interesting are high-quality silhouette images in the “fantasy” style and natural motifs.
In recent years, a sharp design solution has been stylized elements (chrysanthemums, complex stars, etc.) of one or several different colors applied to a single-color surface using a stencil.
Combined painting with “panel” elements
Scheme of warm and cool colors.
At first glance, painted walls seem dull and unattractive. Therefore, some people prefer wallpaper and thereby force themselves into limits, limiting the choice of color, print and combinations. While painting walls provides endless possibilities for true creativity.
How to paint walls to make it look stylish and modern? It is not necessary to paint them the same color. There are an endless variety of paint options. The most common technique is to combine two colors.
This option has been familiar to us since ancient times. Here, part of the wall, starting from the floor, is painted in one color, the remaining part up to the ceiling is covered with another. These can be either related colors of different shades, or completely different ones (for example, peach and olive). The junction of two colors is usually decorated with molding.
A classic of the genre here is the border just below the middle of the wall. However, “lowered” panels or a narrow strip near the ceiling look more creative.
The dyeing technique may vary. The simplest method is used when painting with related colors. First, the entire wall is painted in a lighter tone. After drying, draw a border on it, paste masking tape around the edge of the upper part and paint the lower part in a darker tone.

If different colors are used, you will have to paint both parts separately, starting from the top. First, straight lines are drawn on the wall using a ruler and level along the entire perimeter of the bedroom. It is necessary to use a level so that the border of colors on all walls visually appears to be the same height and does not depend on the slopes of the floor and walls.
Once the boundaries are marked, cover the edge of the bottom with construction tape to protect it from unwanted staining. Paint the top of the wall and let it dry. Then cover the border on the other side with tape and start painting the lower part.
Another way to imitate panels is with colored inserts throughout the wall. It is performed similarly to the previous one. First, the entire wall is painted in a lighter tone, then the boundaries of the inserts are marked and covered with masking tape. After which the middle of the inserts is painted a darker color.
A very simple and at the same time interesting way to add a “zest” to the interior is to divide a plain wall with a stripe of a darker or different color. Typically this technique is used in hallways or living rooms, but it is also appropriate in the bedroom.
The dyeing technology is similar to those described above. The only difference is that after the first color has dried, not one border is marked, but two, between which the darker stripe will be located. The adhesive tape is also pasted over on both sides along the outer edge, and the strip between it is painted over with a dark color. For greater effect, the borders of the strip can be marked with a panel.
Color solutions to maintain style
Each style needs color support:
- In the “classics”, preference is given to rich “aristocratic” colors (emerald, Prussian blue, purple), as well as beige, sand, and golden shades;
- For a bedroom in the Provence style, light green, pale pink or a combination of blue and brown are best suited;
- When choosing paint for a room in the “minimalism” style, you should give preference to beige, milky, ecru;
- It is advisable to paint a room in the high-tech style gray in combination with coral, lingonberry, lavender, and lilac.
White wall surfaces allow you to maintain any style, depending on additional decor (moldings, trellises, borders), appropriate selection of furniture and other interior items.
Paint quality
Experts draw the attention of consumers to the fact that when choosing a painting material, you should familiarize yourself with its technical characteristics.
When decorating walls in a bedroom, preference is given to water-based paint based on silicone, silicate, acrylic or mineral.
The following properties of water emulsion are valued:
- Dries quickly after application to the surface;
- Non-toxic and has no pungent odor;
- Does not belong to the category of combustible materials;
- Durable, UV resistant.
In addition, water-based paint is produced in a wide range of colors in matte and glossy versions, so even the most demanding buyer can purchase the paint of the desired shade.
For many consumers, it is also important that if the color of the room is pretty boring, the walls can be easily repainted.
Peculiarities
The bedroom is distinguished by the fact that a person rests in it, so it is important to create a favorable atmosphere for relaxation and good sleep. Therefore, the choice of what color to paint the walls in the bedroom should be made with special attention. Designers offer many options, everyone makes a choice according to their own taste, but psychological aspects must also be taken into account in order for the room to fulfill its purpose.
