Blue Bedrooms We Love (and How to Design Your Own)

It's no surprise that blue is one of the most popular colors. It could be because we associate blue with the sky, which usually brings warm feelings, or because the different shades can bring on several emotions, ranging from calm to moody to electric.

"It's a crowd-pleaser," color consultant Amy Wax told Apartment Therapy. "Because it's not threatening, it's easygoing. It matches a lot of different colors. There are so many ways in which it denotes honesty and integrity, and there's nothing about blue that makes us feel edgy or off-center."

One of the most beautiful things about blue is that it can feel super cozy or help a small room feel large (depending on the shade you choose). Experts agree that blue is a wonderful color to paint your bedroom, as it has calming effects. Many, many people have sought out blue bedroom ideas, and there are some key tips to follow if you're interested in doing the same.

Tips for Decorating a Blue Bedroom

If you don't want your blue bedroom to feel too bold, consider painting with blue tones in a geometric pattern, finding a wallpaper with blue accents, or painting half the walls blue.
Include neutral accents in the room to offset the striking nature of blue.
Mixing different shades of blue is a great way to create an eye-catching and calming space.

The walls of this bedroom might be calming white, but the floors are a beautiful, happy blue. There are several blue accents throughout the room that tie it together, too.

Melanie Rieders
The wallpaper hanging in this Brooklyn apartment's bedroom is like looking into the inside of a crystal. The shades of blue mixed with whites and gold are intoxicating and pair perfectly with the blue comforter.

Esteban Cortez
This primary bedroom is so spectacular because it's drenched in shades of blue. Farrow & Ball's St. Giles covers the walls, but not entirely — it stops shy of the ceiling, and looks like someone simply got tired of painting.

The homeowner describes her space as a "Victorian on acid," and the primary bedroom emphasizes that sentiment. The luxurious blue wallpaper looks like something you'd find in a royal's home, and the blue ceiling draws your eye upwards.

Minette Hand
This primary bedroom looks rich and inviting, thanks to a custom mix of paints. (The walls are colored with a combination of 75% of Benjamin Moore's Chicago Blues.)

Carina Romano
Painting the doors the same colors as the walls helped this blue primary bedroom pop. Plus, the blue shade complements the Jungalow wallpaper in the room's nook.
