24 Beautiful Blue Bedroom Ideas to Dream About

More than just about any other bedroom paint color, blue is totally apropos for a sleeping space. Unwinding at the end of a busy day is easier when your bedroom is soothing and resort-like, and incorporating shades of blue into your sleeping area is one way to create an automatically calming atmosphere. 

The great thing about painting a bedroom blue is the color works well for large, cavernous bedrooms, but is also one of our favorite ways to enlarge a small bedroom, since it doesn’t overpower the space. These 24 blue bedroom ideas prove just how versatile this wonderful hue is.
