Create a Dreamy Space with These Bedroom Paint Color Ideas

After a long day, who doesn't want to retreat to a calm, happy, and relaxed space for some much-needed R&R? Whether it's the main bedroom, a guest room, and even a nursery, we all need a restful place to lay our heads. And if you've been contemplating a new bedroom makeover, one of the best (and affordable!) ways to accomplish it is by painting your bedroom a new color.

When a room has the right paint color on the walls, it instantly creates the right atmosphere for your bedroom, so begin by thinking about the feel you want for your bedroom. Is it calm and serene? Bright and happy? Pretty and feminine? Tailored and sophisticated? An all-white bedroom is always an inviting place for sleep, but don’t be afraid to try a little color—even if just as an accent wall. Dark colors make a bedroom feel cozy, neutral and muted colors help a space feel calming, and bright colors boost your mood. Here, some of our favorite bedrooms offer loads of bedroom design inspiration, plus over 30 inviting bedroom paint colors that are perfect for a sleeping space.
