What Color to Paint a Bedroom

The bedroom is a private place for rest and relaxation.

When you consider bedroom paint color ideas, think about what you want to achieve with the new look.

What atmosphere do you want the room to have? What colors make you feel relaxed and content? What color tones make you feel most at ease? What are your favorite colors?

Here are a few tips to help you understand color and to select what colors to paint a bedroom.

There are different paint color ideas to consider...

Warm Bedroom Paint Color Ideas

Think of heat and you will think of warm colors. They are the colors of autumn, sun and fire; red, yellow and orange. They are colors that evoke fun, vibrance and excitement and so may not be the colors you would choose for your peaceful bedroom.

It is also possible to use warm pastel colors in a bedroom for a relaxing atmosphere. Consider peach, apricots and warm whites for the walls to give a warm, enveloping feel to the room. If you really want some vibrant colors as well, use red, bronze or orange accents as accessories.

But before you choose a warm color for your room, there's one last thing worth mentioning...

Keep in mind that warm colors often make walls feel as though they are closer than they are. So if you have a small room, warm colors won't contribute to expanding space but may in fact make your room feel smaller.

But if you like the idea of warmth in exchange for a cozy inviting room, then warm colors should be at the top of your list.

Cool Bedroom Paint Color Ideas

Think of cooling water, the sky and grass and you have the cool colors of blue, green and lavender. These are colors of peace, tranquility and calm and they induce deep sleep resulting in the exact effect you're going for.

Not to mention they give a room the illusion of being bigger than it really is since these colors are known to appear as though they are receding.

Neutral and Natural Bedroom Paint Color Ideas

Think of the earth and trees and you have the neutral colors of beige, taupe, terracotta. These include all the brown tones. Neutral colors are restful and form a great background for nearly any other color to be used against.

Choose What Works for You

Just remember that whatever choice you make, the choice is yours. What paint colors make you feel good? Leave all of the expert advice behind and dig deep into your personal wants and desire.

Choose bedroom paint colors that make you feel relaxed; that will make you want to spend time in the room; that will make it seem like a sanctuary far away from the world. And in the end you'll have your own personal oasis.
