Want to add a pop of colour to your room? Teal might just be the way to go!

Have you ever wanted to add a pop of colour to your home but have never been sure how? We’re here to tell you to take a chance on teal. Teal goes with so many other hues, from pinks and reds to oranges and yellows, as well as the endless tones in the neutral colour palette. It can also work well with so many different interior designs and styles.

Teal, a luxurious shade reminiscent of lush lagoons and tropical waters, creates a space that is as calming and soothing as possible for optimum sleep but still striking enough to enjoy spending time in!

So what are you waiting for? Check out these 20 teal bedroom ideas to inspire you to add an oasis retreat in your bedroom.

1. Palm prints

For the first of our teal bedroom ideas, we have this gorgeous and inviting bedroom with a lovely teal wall mixed with rustic chairs and a cabinet. The bold hue, mixed with the brown and white decor, helps make the room feel extra cosy. Adding palm prints on the wall and blanket brings the whole theme together!

2. Feature cushions

If you want to add some teal to your bedroom but only subtly, take inspiration from this classy bedroom. The addition of teal pillows makes the bed even more inviting and comfy!

3. Black frames

Adding minimalist posts is a great idea if you have a large room that you want to break up a bit. We love how the black frames in this space give a visual separation. However, you can still get glimpses of the stunning room through it. The teal feature wall is the room’s star; anyone who enters will instantly gravitate toward it!

4. Pink and teal 

What a beautiful combination! We love the cushions on the bed with the pink fluffy pillows that almost look like a mermaid’s tail glistening in the sun.

5. By the window 

Who wouldn’t love to wake up to this glorious spot by the window? From the trees outside to the glow of sunlight peeking into the room—it’s so dreamy! The teal bedding, mini side tables, and neutral blankets complete the room’s colour scheme.

6. Teal and yellow

Here’s another gorgeous colour combination! The addition of bright yellow flowers and the pillow instantly completes the room by adding layers and visual interest. Try this mix if you feel your current teal bedroom is missing something.

7. Modern, yet elegant

Here’s a bedroom you’ll never want to leave. All the modern and neutral-coloured furnishings give a hint of elegance, while the fun and bright teal in the bedding make this room feel playful and full of character!

8. Quirky prints

If you love your patterns and want to offset your block colours, quirky prints are a great idea. There’s no doubt you’ll love how the details blend! The best tip we can give is to stick to a unified print throughout the room; it’ll show off your style without looking over the top.

9. Orange accent

How lovely are the orange tones in this classy bedroom? The picture frame and curtain perfectly match the teal pillows and duvet. Adding wooden accents on the desk and floor gives you a pretty bedroom decked out in teal and earthy tones.

10. Baby nursery

If you’re preparing for the arrival of your bundle of joy, teal is the perfect colour to paint the walls in the nursery! Go for half teal and half white to balance everything out. Don’t be afraid to experiment with textures by adding metal wall decor and a rattan light pendant!

11. Golden accessories

Feel like a golden girl in this gorgeous bedroom with gold accessories! The teal walls, duvet, vases, and candle perfectly complement the shiny vases and plate. To add more texture to the room, feel free to add black and white via the bed and small tables!

12. Whimsical wallpaper

Whimsical rooms tell a story and have so much character; this bedroom is no exception. They’ll instantly draw you in from the wallpaper with foliage and flowers to the blush pink curtains.

Don’t worry about “clashing patterns” because as long as you keep your beddings and side tables simple, it will beautifully stand out in the room and even add to its charm.

13. Desk and vanity 

This desk and vanity area is perfect for a blank bedroom wall. We love how the wall is painted in a different teal shade so the desk doesn’t blend into it. Accessorise the area with a golden lamp and a pink chair, and you’ve got a cute little home office-slash-vanity in your room!

14. Black, white, teal, and red

Who knew these four colours could look so beautiful together? If you love a black-and-white colour scheme, adding teal and bright red will bring life and vibrancy to your space. Bonus: Avoid an empty wall and hang a teal-themed painting to match your bed!

15. Gallery wall 

This bedroom is so bold that hanging your favourite black-and-white photos will help complete the space and tone down its brightness. If you want to be playful with your “gallery,” mix plain picture frames with teal or wooden ones—it’s up to you!

16. White and teal 

How stunning is this simple colour combination? Adding teal to less permanent options, like curtains, pillows, and painting, means you can switch up the colour and style whenever you want.

17. Handmade blanket

If you want to add a personal touch to the bedroom, go for something handmade. Perhaps you are a keen crocheter or knitter; either way, including a teal blanket in your minimalist room will instantly brighten up the room and make you never want to leave your bed.

18. In the jungle

In the jungle…the mighty jungle…the lion sleeps tonight! Your real space may be lion-less, but if you love jungle-themed decor, prepare to fall head over heels for this room! With various plants, zebra-printed pillows, and nature-printed blankets, you’ll surely feel like you’re on a safari every time you come in.

19. Beachy kids

If you have kids that love the beach, why not celebrate that with how their bedroom is styled? From putting in sand-like headboards to painting the walls with the same shade as the ocean, they’ll feel like they’re back swimming with all the fishes! It’s such a fun, bright, and playful space that’s equally calm and serene for when it’s time to sleep.

20. Muted teal

If you’re still not fully convinced to incorporate some teal into your home, why not take inspiration from this bedroom with a muted teal colour palette? The subtleness of the shades, coupled with grey and silver accents, will suit your modern tastes very well.
