Bedrooms should feel calming and serene, and the best way to create a soothing environment is through the colors and textures in your design.
When you're choosing a color scheme for your bedroom, you should consider if the colors are going to help you feel calm and relaxed, or if they're going to feel distracting and impede your sleep. Blues and grays are excellent choices because they fit into just about any design style.

1. Dark, Contemporary Bedroom Design
When you want a room better suited to older teens or a college dorm, or you just want a more masculine look, focus on darker colors. This bedroom is a hip and contemporary take on a teenager's room, with cool, minimal accessories and a modern, dark color scheme.
I love that the majority of the room is in black and several shades of gray and silver, allowing the blue in the geometric comforter to shine as the statement piece in the room.
2. Simple and Rustic Loft Bedroom
Your bedroom doesn't have to be decked out in the latest, trendiest, or most expensive pieces to feel pulled together and sophisticated. This bedroom has a rustic, DIY feel to it thanks to the pallet board bed and simple wooden headboard. Since the wooden details and floors blend in together, the navy blues and grays of the bedspread make a statement and blend well against the wall.
3. Stylish and Cheerful Bedroom in Blue and White
This bright and cheery room uses an electric aqua blue paired with pale wood accents and light gray walls to create a clean and modern look. I love how the designer had the furniture arranged in a neat and symmetrical layout with an eclectic gallery wall above the bed. Sheer white voile curtains allow light to pour in and brighten up the room.
4. Eclectic and Whimsical Kid's Bedroom
Mixing a variety of patterns and styles in your scheme can make your room feel fun and unexpected, even if you've got a minimal color scheme. This adorable kid's bedroom focuses on black and gray decor against a white wall and floor to really make an impact in the space.
Vintage touches like the metal rail bed and marquee lighting make the room feel more relaxed and eclectic. And I love the touch of star decals over the bed!
5. Kid's Bedroom with a Beautiful Mountain Wall Mural
This is an absolutely stunning example of how a mural can add style and fun to a kid's bedroom. The simple blue and gray mountain mural is the focal point of this room, but the small details are really what make this bedroom a kid-friendly paradise.
The small palm tree brings life into the space and the collection of stuffed animals right by the bed makes the room feel cozy, perfect for young kids.
6. Dark and Elegant Bedroom
This sleek and modern bedroom makes use of texture to create a luxurious atmosphere. In an eclectic room like this, it's all about the details. I love the stunning velvet headboard that stretches up to the ceiling, making the room feel larger. Normally steel gray and navy blue could make the room feel cold, but the wooden floors warm up the space.
7. Modern Cobalt Blue Bedroom
This bedroom uses the contrast of blue and gray to create a sophisticated and comfortable environment. It's easy to think that painting your walls a dark blue would make the room feel dark and small, but the light shining through the gray and white curtains actually brightens up the space and allows it to feel bigger.
Adding a pop of yellow to the room adds just an extra bit of energy and makes the room feel more cheery, too.
8. Space-Themed Dark Bedroom
Blue, black, silver, and gray all work together in this stellar space-themed bedroom! Keeping the walls dark with black and gray paint allows the blues and golds in the decor to pop; I especially love the stars painted above the bed, drawing your eye to the center of the room.
Adding a large, comfortable blue chair to the corner is just the touch this room needs to feel both elegant and comfortable.
9. Pastel Pink and Blue Bedroom with Dark Walls
Dark walls don't have to be depressing- the charcoal gray of the walls in this bedroom are the perfect backdrop for soft pastel blues and pinks, while gold accents make the simple room feel elegant and luxurious.
The dresser is painted black to blend in with the background and allow the bed to be the main focus of the room. Using soft textures like suedes and velvets completes the look and adds a comforting, cozy feeling to the space, making it the perfect room to lay back and relax in.
10. Vintage Bedroom Interior with a Retro Atmosphere
If you want a hip and casual bedroom that feels vibrant and energetic, but still relaxing enough to drift off to sleep in, you can't do much better than this example. Yellow pops out against the dark navy blue wall and the gray and white bedding, giving the room a bit of lively energy and a contemporary twist.
Minimal, modern shapes mixed with natural textures make this eclectic room feel both retro and refreshing.
11. Timeless and Traditional Bedroom Interior
In this classic traditional bedroom, warm grays, whites, and tans make up the neutral color palette of the design, but the royal blue adds a shot of color and gives the room a more modern feel. I love that the furnishings and bedding sets are relatively simple, to show off the amazing high ceilings and large windows in the room. It's a subtle but tasteful way to give your bedroom a bit of timeless elegance!
12. Soft Pale Blue and Gray Bedroom
This Scandinavian-inspired bedroom takes inspiration from all kinds of sources. Industrial lighting fixtures and shelving mix with classic midcentury furniture, and natural accents like wood and fur. The color scheme works with pale blues and soft, light gray to create a bedroom that's both bright and cozy.
13. Chic and Stylish Master Bedroom Design
I love that the designer used the soft furnishings like bedding, rugs, and seating to incorporate all kinds of shades of gray into the room, from charcoal all the way up to a soft dove grey. This keeps the room from feeling too bland but also allows the royal blue to stand out. Keeping the background and other decor neutral makes this room feel peaceful, even with the bold blue as the focal point.
14. Cozy Bedroom Interior with Gray Walls
When creating a calming environment for a bedroom, it's important to consider how the pieces work together and balance each other. Simple shapes and symmetrical layout makes this bedroom a relaxing, cozy place to hide away from the world.
The cool tones in the blues and pinks of the bedding and the gray of the wall are warmed up by the hardwood floor and soft lighting, which makes the room feel at peace.
15. Spacious Blue and Gray Master Bedroom with Wooden Details
This room is a great example of how to highlight certain parts of your design. Since most of the room is made up of shades of white and soft grey, it's easy to direct the focus in the room to a specific spot. The rich honey-brown color of the wooden headboard draws the eye into the center of the room, allowing the bed and art to shine as the main focus.
16. Simple and Elegant Bedroom with Gray Accent Wall
If you want your bedroom to feel like a peaceful escape from the outside world, consider the layout of your room. This bedroom shows how the symmetrical layout makes the space feel orderly and at peace. Painting a gray accent wall is a simple and easy way to zone out your space, and in this case, it makes the bed seem cozier as a result.
17. Cheerful Gray and Turquoise Bedroom Design
This is a fun and artistic bedroom that shows off a ton of character! Having a variety of paintings at different heights throughout the room, but in the same color scheme, pulls the room together in an organic way. The white and gray scheme of the room is interrupted by the cheerful blue in the bedding that elevates the space to a new level.
18. Small, Chic Bedroom with Large Windows
Simple yet oh-so-stylish, this apartment bedroom is oozing with personality! By keeping the room a light gray, the natural light streams in through the window and brightens up the space by reflecting off of the lighter surfaces. And, by keeping the darker shades of gray toward the walls, it pulls the space back and makes it feel bigger.
19. Simple and Welcoming Loft Guest Bedroom
This loft bedroom is a great example of how you can create a chic and inviting guest bedroom using simple colors and decor. Sticking with a simple color palette, in this case, gray, white, turquoise, and navy, helps pull this room together and make it feel unified. Since the pieces are simple, the designer played with texture to make the room feel more dynamic.
20. Cozy Modern Bedroom with Copper Accents
This uniquely elegant master bedroom brings the best of both worlds together; on one hand, the colors, texture, and layout of the room feel classic and timeless, and on the other, the decor, lighting, and wall feature feel truly of the moment.
The warm wood and copper accents brighten up what could be a rather dark room, and the stunning herringbone floor draws the eye, making for a one-of-a-kind design.
21. Timeless Traditional Design in Blue and Silver
With its simple and refreshing color scheme and streamlined versions of antique furniture pieces, this beautiful master bedroom is the very definition of traditional elegance! A variety of blue shades are used throughout the space in luxurious fabrics like velvet and suede, and the room is dotted with silver accents to subtly dress up the room.
22. Contemporary Master Bedroom with Concrete Wall and Minimalist Details
This ultramodern bedroom feels so fun and fresh! With its bright turquoise blue bedding and walls against a concrete panel headboard and amazing minimalist lighting fixtures, this room feels practically futuristic.
But adding more familiar, traditional touches like the candlesticks and sunflowers for a pop of yellow bring this room back to the present and keep it from feeling too harsh.
23. Modern Apartment Bedroom with Custom Bed and Storage
When it comes to city apartments, space is at a premium and every single square inch makes a world of difference. This amazing room shows such a creative use of the space by utilizing a custom-made bunk bed with drawers built into the steps!
The gray walls and floor, along with the soft slate blue color of the built-in pieces make this room feel modern and draw the natural light into the room.
24. Blue and Grey Bedroom with Gold Metallic Accents
Dark gold and coppers are the best metallic accents to add to a room with lots of blue or grey pieces. The cool tones in the blues and grays work well with the warm tones in the gold and copper, as you can see in this beautiful example.
The designer placed sleek, modern gold accents all over the room to brighten up the space and chose a soft camel color for the walls to keep the overall look calm and inviting.
25. Stylish and Elegant Bedroom with Gallery Wall
With its artistic style, modern colors, and simple layout, this bedroom is perfect for a teenager or college student! The herringbone flooring pattern feels fun and fresh and adds a bit of brightness to the darker color scheme.
I also love the collage wall above the bed that serves as the focal point of the room, and how it pulls all the different elements and details together into one theme.
26. Contemporary Bedroom with Traditional Elements
Traditional details and modern shapes combine to create a chic and cozy master bedroom, perfect for anyone who wants a bit of elegance in a minimalist design. In this bedroom, the high concrete walls could come off as cold and sterile, but they don't because of the warm tones introduced into the room through the flooring, lighting and furniture.
The blue is just dark enough to feel like a neutral itself, and it doesn't feel too loud or out of place.
27. Comfortable Grey Bedroom with Blur Armchair
Sometimes the most relaxing rooms don't need to have much color at all, as is the case with this cozy bedroom and reading nook. Even though the majority of the bedroom is decorated in multiple shades of grey, it still feels fresh and vibrant because of the eclectic mash-up of different design styles and textures.
I adore how the light blue chair pops against the rest of the grey and white room and draws your focus to it!
