From navy to teal to sky, blue is a versatile color that works great in a space meant for relaxation. If you're looking for a simple way to incorporate your favorite shade into your bedroom, these bedrooms will give you great ideas. You'll see blue in accent pillows or art in the bedrooms. If you love a more classic look, you'll love the light shades of blue featured in some of the bedrooms. There are also some navy bedrooms for a bolder aesthetic. We've gathered our favorite blue bedrooms in every shade to help inspire you.

Use a Vibrant Wallpaper

This bedroom aesthetic features deep, rich color and texture that is perfectly balanced out with moments of cream. The gorgeous blue textured wallpaper pops off of the deep brown from the wood, and is all brought together with the neutral color scheme of the bed.

Make the Bed Blue

If you don't want to paint your walls blue, go for the next biggest focal point: the bed. This bedroom features a blue bed frame with a blue duvet for a relaxing look.

Paint Trims and Doors Blue

If you want to use blue paint in a more subtle way, painting the trim is a great way to add some visual interest. If your bedroom features doors like this one, painting the frame blue draws the eyes outside to make the space look larger.

Add Different Shades of Blue

Just because you chose blue as your main color in your bedroom doesn't mean you have to stick with one shade. This bedroom used multiple shades of blue around the room to make for a cozy, lively space.

Camouflage the Headboard

To make your room appear taller, making your bed's headboard the same color as walls draws the eyes up. It also adds dimension to the room for a nice balance of elements.

Match the Walls with Accents

While it can be daunting to commit to one color, matching your wall color with your room accents can make for a cohesive space. This bedroom matched the walls with the chair, pillows, and curtains for a crisp, clean look.

Get Inspired By Outside

Sky blue is one of the most relaxing colors to use when designing a bedroom as it resembles a beautiful day outside. This bedroom brought the outside in with the sky bleu walls and accents.

Simple and Classic

With a small space, keeping things clean with shades of white makes the space airy. With touches of navy and periwinkle, this bedroom looks elegant without trying too hard.

Peaceful in Blue-Grays

Play with Periwinkle

In the primary bedroom of this Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, beach house, designer Lynn Morgan set a soothing mood with a monochromatic palette of soft blues. The walls are pale aqua (painted Benjamin Moore's Sweet Bluette), while the fabrics, from the custom, upholstered benches to the bedding to the trim on the window shades, feature soft periwinkle. Aside from the benches, the furniture is sleek and understated to counter the room's rich hues. Plush, cream-colored carpet and crisp white trim further balance and frame the look. A gold-framed nautical painting provides an ocean-inspired focal point, and turquoise vases in the built-in cubby above the window seat draw the eye upward to the room's high ceilings.

Feature Colorful Fabric

A blue-and-green patterned duvet and accent pillows add a lively touch to the primary bedroom in this Bald Head Island, North Carolina, cottage. "I kept the decor simple but comfortable," says designer and homeowner Tiffany McWhorter. "I didn't want any one element to take away from the views. What's important is what's out those windows." The room's otherwise neutral colors allow for easy edits to the palette with a simple change of bedding.

Make it Maritime

This two-tone bedroom in Hobe Sound, Florida, owned by Greg Norman and his interior designer wife, Kristen, is a sleek, nautical escape. Navy grasscloth wallpaper, slipcovered side tables, and striped bedding (plus fun dip-dyed accent pillows), make the room feel almost like an underwater getaway.

Say Yes to Sea Glass

In this Phoebe Howard-designed primary suite, it's all about the soft sea glass palette, natural light, and high ceilings. The walls, painted Glass Slipper by Benjamin Moore, create a serene backdrop for the retreat-worthy space, and the light green and taupe color pairing adds an even deeper sense of serenity to the room.

Create a Coastal Classic

This 1915 cottage on the Charleston Harbor got a colorful makeover, complete with a relaxing blue bedroom. The soft azure walls set the tone, while window treatments trimmed with a Greek key pattern elevate the look. Natural accents like bamboo blinds, a seagrass rug, and an antique bed anchor the space.

Don't Be Shy With Stripes

Twin beds decked out in turquoise and indigo-blue pop against crisp white walls in designer Meg Braff's West Palm Beach bedroom. White bedding with a turquoise Greek key pattern is topped with fun floral throw pillows that tie the color scheme together.

Play with Pattern (on Pattern!)

Designer Bailey McCarthy creates a striking, monochromatic look in our Cinnamon Shore Showhouse primary bedroom. Using this many patterns—on the palm frond wallpaper, printed bedding, and geometric rug—could feel busy, but thanks to their shared ocean-going hue, the look is bold and relaxing all at once, especially when paired with bright white accents.

Pick a Bright Color Pairing

A lively green accent pillow was the inspiration for this Florida bedroom's pretty palette. With an eye to toning down the vivid neon hue, designer Phoebe Howard introduced calming shades of white and a mix of lighter and deeper blues on the walls (painted Misty Blue by Benjamin Moore), furniture, and accessories to create balance.

Cultivate Caribbean Style

"Charming wallpaper gives a room a special, tucked-away feel," says designer Amanda Lindroff, who applied a blue medallion print to the walls of this Harbour Island guest bedroom. Watercolors of Elbow Cay, Eleuthera, and Harbour Island are framed with mats in complementary colors. Rattan beds and baskets add a natural island vibe.

Go Bold With Nautical Wallpaper

This soft, vintage-inspired bedroom is a "graceful reminder of the home's history," says designer Alys Protzman, who brought the historic Cape Cod cottage back to life with bold pops of yellow in nearly every space. In this bedroom however, the signature hue was reserved as an accent after the designer and her sister (the homeowner) decided to keep the room's existing slate blue sailboat wallpaper. A white spindle bed, antique jug-turned-lamp, and old high chair that acts as a creative nightstand add a low-maintenance and cozy feel.

Stick to a Scheme

In the primary bedroom of her Richmond, Virginia, home, Ashley Hanley followed the lead of a beloved vintage Oushak, pulling the room's soothing palette of blues, greens, and tans directly from it.

Wrap the Room

Designer Ashley Hanley made her home's teeniest bedroom feel larger than life with the addition of Cole & Son's Cambridge Stripe wallpaper, which suits her young daughter now—and will feel just as appropriate as she grows.
