We’ll be the first to admit that waking up early and leaving a cozy bed isn’t always that enticing, but creating a bedroom that’s energizing and mood-boosting can make it a whole lot easier (or, at the very least, it’ll be nice to look at!). Since colors and light affect our mood, there’s a strong case for a colorful bedroom, or at least choosing your paint color wisely since it takes up so much surface area. Whether you introduce those pops of color with paint, bedding, or artwork, you’ll find something to emulate in the gorgeous examples of colorful bedrooms below (yes, even for those color-averse readers). Ahead, discover the best bedroom colors organized in rainbow order. We’ll start with red bedroom examples and end with the blues and monochromatic black bedrooms.
1 Deep Red
In this warm yet polished bedroom designed by Heidi Caillier, bewitching red walls set a romantic mood. The accent pillow features a more neon shade of red that brightens up the space while still keeping it calm, cozy, and just a touch mysterious.
2 Red Lacquer
High-energy yet calming, bold yet timeless, this jaw-dropping bedroom designed by Brian J. McCarthy is serious goals. For a similar effect, stick to a tight two-color story with the walls in a show-stopping super high gloss paint and your ceiling in a flat white paint. “This finish feels fresh for a guest room, and the surprising pop of color is both warm and chic,” he says.
3 Bright Red Accents
Or, reverse the look and opt for bright white walls and bold red bedding, artwork, and floors. The high-impact combo in this bedroom by Anthony Baratta is all the convincing we need.
4 Bubble Gum Pink
Too outrageous? No such thing. Bright bubblegum pink is a fearless choice. In this bedroom by Anna Spiro, it asserts a youthful spirit to balance out the traditional pieces, like the dresser and tight floral patterns.
