Your bedroom should always feel comfortable and offer you a sense of getting away from the world. The right paint colors will help you achieve this effect more than anything else in the room. The most important thing to remember when choosing paint colors for your bedroom is how you want the room to feel. You'll find, once you've decided upon the right color, that painting your bedroom is fun.
Natural and Cozy
Nature-based colors make a bedroom feel like a place of rest and relaxation. The lighter colors found in nature create an especially welcoming nuance. Select a light shade of green or teal to be featured on the walls to create a sense of calm. Use white trim to keep the room feeling light and airy. Other colors you can borrow from nature are yellow or gold. This color on the walls will make your bedroom feel warm and cozy.
Dark and Elegant
Dark colors gives a room a sense of rich beauty. Although dark colors have a reputation for making rooms appear smaller, with the right lighting, you can eliminate a closed-in feeling in smaller rooms and still use dark colors. Mocha, eggplant, sage and midnight blue are a few colors you may want to try. You can also paint alternate walls different hues of the same color for a dramatic look. A dark taupe coupled with dark beige will bring a nice contrast to your bedroom. Dark colors enhance the nighttime effect of a bedroom and invite restfulness. You will want to use furniture in the same dark hues for a unified look and feel throughout your room.
Bright and Cheerful
Bright colors give bedrooms energy. Shades of bright green, orange and purple will instantly lift your room and make it feel more alive. Orange is a warm color and will welcome you at the end of a long day. Green is energetic, while lilac evokes a light and airy mood. Experiment with other colors in your room to keep your bedroom from feeling heavy and closed-in. If you have a small bedroom, bright colors will make it feel more spacious.
