The paint color you choose will set the ambiance for your room and transform its decorative style. As you look at colors for your interior painting project, you’ll want to select a bedroom color that reflects your style while making the space feel like a relaxing retreat. Follow the tips below to make a choice you’ll be happy with every day.

Interior Painting Guide to Selecting a Bedroom Color

1. Choose Your Mood

Each color conveys a mood, and because you’ll be sleeping in your bedroom, you want a relaxing hue. Avoid high-energy, bold colors. If you want a romantic bedroom, choose a dark color such as navy, charcoal, or olive. If you prefer a tranquil space, go for neutral colors like light blue-gray, beige, or white. For a serene and cheerful room, look at soft colors such as pastel blue or champagne.

2. Analyze Decor

If you already have your furniture and decor, look at these items to ensure the colors will complement rather than clash. If you don’t, select them before your paint since it’s easier to find a color that matches your decor than the other way around. If your decor is neutral, you can go with a bolder color. Otherwise, keep the paint color neutral to avoid overwhelming the space. To ensure they go together, find the main color used in your bedroom, such as a blue comforter or a yellow piece of art. Choose neutrals with that main color as an undertone, and they’ll work well together without becoming monotonous.

3. Test It Out

Once you’ve found an interior painting color you like, paint some test sections on each of your walls. Place your furniture and decor next to these patches, and look at them at different times of day to see how the hue changes with the light. If you like it, you’ve found your color!
