“I will do water. Beautiful, blue water.” – Claude Monet

From the palest hint of periwinkle to the deepest, near-black navy, blue consistently ranks as the most popular color worldwide. Perhaps it calls to us because it colors the sky and the sea, and it reminds us of the peace we feel relaxing outdoors on a beautiful day.

Perhaps in this crazy world of too many choices and too much technology, it calms us in a way no other color can.

Whatever our reasons for embracing blue, its soothing shades are the perfect foundation for bedroom design. Our gallery of blue bedroom ideas will inspire you to invite this peace-inspiring color scheme into your bedroom today.

1. Bedrooms With Blue Accent Color Ideas

A deep affinity for the color blue doesn’t mean that you must immerse your entire bedroom in this calming hue. For many people, just a touch of blue is enough. You can use white on your bedroom walls and let blue appear in your textiles. Mix and match patterns and prints for a whimsical approach to blue bedding.

Blue furniture, throw pillows, and other forms of blue decor can add accents without making the room feel entirely blue. From dark blue to light blue, using different shades is a great way to add pops of calming color to your bedroom decor. Grey bedding works especially well paired with blue as an accent color on decorative pillows, artwork, and accessories.

2. Blue Accent Walls Bedroom Ideas

Accent walls are all the rage, and it’s for good reason. What could be overwhelming on all four walls becomes perfect when confined to one. An accent wall is the perfect place to experiment with a blue bedroom color that may be too bright or too dark on its own. Look to your blue bedding and choose one shade to use for your accent wall design.
