But if you don\u2019t want to paint your walls, there\u2019s nothing stopping you styling up a blue boudoir with your choice of accessories. Just change up the colour of your soft furnishings (curtains, bedding, cushions, throws, rugs, etc). Or bring in blue in accessories like pots and containers, artwork and other bedroom decor.<\/p>\n
Check out our collection of 31 dreamy blue bedroom ideas below\u2014these serene sleeping quarters are sure to inspire you to give your bedroom a makeover!<\/p>\n
1. Go for light blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nLight blues are a great choice for bedrooms because they have an extremely relaxing effect and promote good sleep. Amplify the expanse of blue walls in a contemporary bedroom by keeping the bedding in similar tones and then adding interest with navy blue accents. You can further energise your space with some gorgeous bedroom plants<\/a>, which adds a fresh burst of green to the mix of blues.<\/p>\n2. Choose a deep blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nOn the other hand, you might try a deep, enigmatic marine blue. Bright, deep blues are uplifting and invigorating shades to use in bedrooms. Style a bold, rich shade of blue by keeping things simple. Balance the heaviness of a saturated blue wall with plenty of light and white, and warm it all up with wood and metal accents.<\/p>\n![\"blue-bedroom-inky-blue\"](\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/24052622\/blue-bedroom-inky-blue.jpg\")

Add natural elements<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you love \u201ccoastal chic\u201d and Boho bedrooms<\/a>, choose a very pale shade of blue for the walls and reflect it in the tones of the bed linen. Harmoniously blend in natural materials like a rattan bedframe or timber flooring and allow in plenty of light with sheer curtains.<\/p>\n4. Bring in something vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\nTo stop a painted space from looking flat, add in a mix of vintage elements, such as industrial statement furniture or light fittings. Layering your space with both modern and vintage elements will achieve a lovely mix of textures. Try a quirky artwork or lampshade to personalise the space.<\/p>\n

Mix soft blue and dark wood<\/strong><\/h3>\nPretty pale pastel blue walls and a light bedding base create a dreamy, airy feeling in a bedroom. All the brightness can be contrasted and cosied up with a few deep, warm accents, like a timber bedside table and vintage brass lamp.<\/p>\n
6. Go black and white and blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nHave a monochrome bedroom? Turn it blue, simply by changing the bedding. Deep blue sheets add just enough blue to the space to make it feel tranquil and cosy. Add a throw in a lighter blue to break up the solid dark blue.<\/p>\n
7. Borrow from Japanese style<\/strong><\/h3>\nJapanese style shares some similarities with Scandinavian design, both being very much in favour of clean, streamlined simplicity and an abundance of beautiful natural materials. Make over your bedroom with Oriental flair, for a modern and timeless look. A soft sky blue is appropriately serene for this kind of aesthetic.<\/p>\n
8. Opt for powdery soft blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nPowder blues and baby blues have a natural softness to them, so they\u2019re very popular blue shades to use in bedrooms. These gentle pastels are highly conducive to sleep and rest and make the ideal bedroom blues. Try a baby blue chunky knitted throw in a predominantly white Scandi-style bedroom.<\/p>\n
9. Add warm tones<\/strong><\/h3>\nBring in some warmth to a cool blue bedroom with accessories in ecru and ochre tones. Here\u2019s a designer tip: paint a range of Ikea-style cardboard boxes in colours from your palette and randomly blend them into your space. Reflecting the palette this way creates a pleasing sense of unity and balance.<\/p>\n
10. Add pops of white<\/strong><\/h3>\nDropping in some white accents always refreshes a blue bedroom. Painting the skirting boards white adds a nice crisp touch. If your skirting boards don\u2019t look as nice as this, it might be time to speak to a\u00a0tradie who specialises in skirting boards<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"blue-bedroom-soft-blue-walls\"](\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/24052302\/blue-bedroom-soft-blue-walls.jpg\")

Something like a luscious, scalloped velvet bedhead will add a sumptuous touch to your bedroom. Another dramatic option is to cover the walls in velvet!<\/p>\n![\"blue-bedroom-wall-treatment\"](\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/24052622\/blue-bedroom-wall-treatment.jpg\")

Create a Boho Boudoir<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you love the Boho aesthetic then start by painting your walls a stunning saturated teal blue. It looks perfect with rattan and cane elements and delivers a rich, warm and inviting space.<\/p>\n![\"blue-bedroom-boho\"](\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/24052621\/blue-bedroom-boho.jpg\")
Source: Photo by Orlova Maria on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n13. Add gold tones to navy<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt\u2019s a classic combo. Navy is a shade of blue that just goes so well with gold-toned d\u00e9cor. You might bring in blingy glam touches with the light fittings or pick up a gold tone in a rug.<\/p>\n
14. Go for an industrial look<\/strong><\/h3>\nAdd in plenty of grey with your blues, for a strong industrial aesthetic. This might mean pale grey, concrete floors or walls, contrasted with vivid midnight blue cushions or a cornflower blue throw. Add a trio of pendant bulbs to complete the look.<\/p>\n
15. Add a leather headboard<\/strong><\/h3>\nNavy is an inherently calming shade of blue and it also conveys luxury and elegance. You can add to that effect if you are going for navy, by adding a luxe leather headboard. Tan leather looks amazing against navy, then just add in white accents in the lighting or pale timber bedside tables. Soft greys also look wonderful with navy, like charcoal linen and a pale grey knitted throw.<\/p>\n
16. Put up wallpaper<\/strong><\/h3>\nInstead of painting your bedroom walls blue, why not add gorgeous blue bedroom wallpaper<\/a>. Extra points if it\u2019s made of grasscloth as you\u2019ll get that lovely texture as well as looking highly contemporary!<\/p>\n17. Mix neutrals and natural blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a breezy coastal-style bedroom, deck it out in soft blues and neutrals. Ensure you add lashings of interesting texture with natural materials like timber furniture, woven wall d\u00e9cor, a sheepskin rug on the chair, or a vintage area rug that picks up the colour scheme.<\/p>\n
By the way, did you know you can easily hire a local Tasker to help you assemble your bedroom furniture, including\u00a0beds<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0daybeds<\/a>,\u00a0dressers<\/a>,\u00a0wardrobes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0any other bedroom furniture<\/a>\u00a0you might need to be assembled?<\/p>\n18. Go for elegance with Royal blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nRoyal blue can be a tricky colour to work with in decorating\u2014sometimes it just looks wrong. However, it can look nicely regal and refined in a master bedroom. Shades of Royal blue and Prussian blue are sophisticated choices– Royal blue is a bold saturated midnight blue, while Prussian blue is a brighter but just as intense shade of blue. Painting all your walls? A white ceiling can help prevent it feeling like a box.<\/p>\n
19. Go for a restful mid-blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nAchieve a restful blue bedroom using a flat mid-blue to imbue the space with calm and serenity. For a simple contemporary setting, blend in a mid-grey upholstered bedhead, matching grey bedsides and rug, together with a few deeper blue and bright white touches. Add sophistication with metallic elements in the mirror frame, light fittings and ornaments. And unify it all with an upholstered blue bench.<\/p>\n
20. Mix blues and browns<\/strong><\/h3>\nChoose a striking palette of blue-greys and browns, offset by crisp whites. It will give your bedroom an earthy masculinity. You could add a little landscape painting to increase the rustic charm of your brown and blue bedroom.<\/p>\n
21. Add zesty pops of orange<\/strong><\/h3>\nA darker-toned blue bedroom can sometimes veer towards unwelcoming and to avoid this, simply add some warmer accents. For example, you could warm up a sophisticated blue grey bedroom with pops of orange in the bedding which really lifts the energy of the space.<\/p>\n![\"blue-bedroom-stripes\"](\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/24052623\/blue-bedroom-stripes.jpg\")
Source: Photo by Rhema Kallianpur on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n22. Try subtle grey blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nMatte navy like a sky at dusk makes a peaceful backdrop for a bedroom. And it looks especially modern mixed with greys and whites.<\/p>\n
23. Go for colour blocking<\/strong><\/h3>\nKeep your bedroom tonally in sync by mixing a range of blue tones. For example, a peacock blue bedhead and light blue bedroom walls. To keep it feeling all too blue, add soft violet bed linen.<\/p>\n![\"blue-bedroom-mix-tones\"](\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/24052302\/blue-bedroom-mix-tones.jpg\")

Think about aqua<\/strong><\/h3>\nAqua is definitely a much less common choice for blue bedrooms but if you can pull it off, it makes a strong style statement. It often works for a Boho bedroom as a turquoise hue is consistent with American Indian influenced decorative touches, for example.<\/p>\n
25. Have an accent wall<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you aren\u2019t willing to commit to a full paint job then you might like to add an accent wall to add a splash of blue instead.\u00a0 A blue accent wall create a stage-like feeling and makes your bed the focal point. Consider a calming slate blue, complemented by green and blue bedding and tropical rattan lampshades.<\/p>\n![\"blue-bedroom-paint\"](\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/24052620\/blue-bedroom-paint.jpg\")
Source: Photo by Sven Brandsma on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n26. Teal tales<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere\u2019s why experts say teal is such a great colour for bedrooms. It combines the \u201cgrowth\u201d qualities of the colour green with the \u201cnourishing\u201d qualities of the colour blue. This makes it perfect for spaces in which you wish to meditate, reflect, or spend time on self-care.<\/p>\n
27. Put your head in the clouds<\/strong><\/h3>\nA bold blue wallpaper can really transform a room. But when you go with a dramatic wallpaper such as a cloudscape effect, you\u2019ll want to pare back on other elements in the space. Opt for a simple bedhead and plain bedding and otherwise keep d\u00e9cor quite minimal.<\/p>\n
It is possible to do a good DIY job with wallpaper but to make sure it looks perfectly professional, consider hiring an\u00a0expert in wallpaper installation<\/a>.<\/p>\n28. Consider cobalt blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nA deep dark blue can feel very restful, especially when mixed with refreshing white. A rich and vibrant cobalt blue adds depth and contrast to the room and imbues it with an overall calmness. Keeping the ceiling white stops the dark blue from feeling too heavy and it also makes the room seem more spacious.<\/p>\n

Go for Nordic blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a bedroom with a distinct Scandi flavour, go for a palette of Nordic blues: faded denim, navy and storm. Then contrast with chalky whites and subtle dashes of fern green and lead grey.<\/p>\n![\"blue-bedroom-headboard\"](\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/24052624\/blue-bedroom-headboard.jpg\")

Add vitamin sea<\/strong><\/h3>\nWell-known past\u00a0The Block<\/em>\u00a0contestants Kyal and Kara have decorated their own seaside home in a strongly contemporary coastal style, with rooms painted gorgeous ocean and sky colours, and filled with stunning wooden furniture and timber accents. If you love the beachy vibe then blue is a natural choice for your bedroom\u2014a seafoam paint colour is perfect.<\/p>\n31. Try minty freshness<\/strong><\/h3>\nWith \u201cneo mint\u201d being a popular interior design colour, if you want to instantly modernise your bedroom then you could consider painting the walls in this refreshing but more mature version of always-cheerful mint.<\/p>\n

Harmoniously blend in natural materials like a rattan bedframe or timber flooring and allow in plenty of light with sheer curtains.<\/p>\n4. Bring in something vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\nTo stop a painted space from looking flat, add in a mix of vintage elements, such as industrial statement furniture or light fittings. Layering your space with both modern and vintage elements will achieve a lovely mix of textures. Try a quirky artwork or lampshade to personalise the space.<\/p>\n

All the brightness can be contrasted and cosied up with a few deep, warm accents, like a timber bedside table and vintage brass lamp.<\/p>\n
6. Go black and white and blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nHave a monochrome bedroom? Turn it blue, simply by changing the bedding. Deep blue sheets add just enough blue to the space to make it feel tranquil and cosy. Add a throw in a lighter blue to break up the solid dark blue.<\/p>\n
7. Borrow from Japanese style<\/strong><\/h3>\nJapanese style shares some similarities with Scandinavian design, both being very much in favour of clean, streamlined simplicity and an abundance of beautiful natural materials. Make over your bedroom with Oriental flair, for a modern and timeless look. A soft sky blue is appropriately serene for this kind of aesthetic.<\/p>\n
8. Opt for powdery soft blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nPowder blues and baby blues have a natural softness to them, so they\u2019re very popular blue shades to use in bedrooms. These gentle pastels are highly conducive to sleep and rest and make the ideal bedroom blues. Try a baby blue chunky knitted throw in a predominantly white Scandi-style bedroom.<\/p>\n
9. Add warm tones<\/strong><\/h3>\nBring in some warmth to a cool blue bedroom with accessories in ecru and ochre tones. Here\u2019s a designer tip: paint a range of Ikea-style cardboard boxes in colours from your palette and randomly blend them into your space. Reflecting the palette this way creates a pleasing sense of unity and balance.<\/p>\n
10. Add pops of white<\/strong><\/h3>\nDropping in some white accents always refreshes a blue bedroom. Painting the skirting boards white adds a nice crisp touch. If your skirting boards don\u2019t look as nice as this, it might be time to speak to a\u00a0tradie who specialises in skirting boards<\/a>.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Bryony Elena on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n11. Luxe it up with velvet<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe velvet bedhead trend is still going strong. Something like a luscious, scalloped velvet bedhead will add a sumptuous touch to your bedroom. Another dramatic option is to cover the walls in velvet!<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Max Vakhtbovych from Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n12. Create a Boho Boudoir<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you love the Boho aesthetic then start by painting your walls a stunning saturated teal blue. It looks perfect with rattan and cane elements and delivers a rich, warm and inviting space.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Orlova Maria on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n13. Add gold tones to navy<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt\u2019s a classic combo. Navy is a shade of blue that just goes so well with gold-toned d\u00e9cor. You might bring in blingy glam touches with the light fittings or pick up a gold tone in a rug.<\/p>\n
14. Go for an industrial look<\/strong><\/h3>\nAdd in plenty of grey with your blues, for a strong industrial aesthetic. This might mean pale grey, concrete floors or walls, contrasted with vivid midnight blue cushions or a cornflower blue throw. Add a trio of pendant bulbs to complete the look.<\/p>\n
15. Add a leather headboard<\/strong><\/h3>\nNavy is an inherently calming shade of blue and it also conveys luxury and elegance. You can add to that effect if you are going for navy, by adding a luxe leather headboard. Tan leather looks amazing against navy, then just add in white accents in the lighting or pale timber bedside tables. Soft greys also look wonderful with navy, like charcoal linen and a pale grey knitted throw.<\/p>\n
16. Put up wallpaper<\/strong><\/h3>\nInstead of painting your bedroom walls blue, why not add gorgeous blue bedroom wallpaper<\/a>. Extra points if it\u2019s made of grasscloth as you\u2019ll get that lovely texture as well as looking highly contemporary!<\/p>\n17. Mix neutrals and natural blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a breezy coastal-style bedroom, deck it out in soft blues and neutrals. Ensure you add lashings of interesting texture with natural materials like timber furniture, woven wall d\u00e9cor, a sheepskin rug on the chair, or a vintage area rug that picks up the colour scheme.<\/p>\n
By the way, did you know you can easily hire a local Tasker to help you assemble your bedroom furniture, including\u00a0beds<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0daybeds<\/a>,\u00a0dressers<\/a>,\u00a0wardrobes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0any other bedroom furniture<\/a>\u00a0you might need to be assembled?<\/p>\n18. Go for elegance with Royal blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nRoyal blue can be a tricky colour to work with in decorating\u2014sometimes it just looks wrong. However, it can look nicely regal and refined in a master bedroom. Shades of Royal blue and Prussian blue are sophisticated choices– Royal blue is a bold saturated midnight blue, while Prussian blue is a brighter but just as intense shade of blue. Painting all your walls? A white ceiling can help prevent it feeling like a box.<\/p>\n
19. Go for a restful mid-blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nAchieve a restful blue bedroom using a flat mid-blue to imbue the space with calm and serenity. For a simple contemporary setting, blend in a mid-grey upholstered bedhead, matching grey bedsides and rug, together with a few deeper blue and bright white touches. Add sophistication with metallic elements in the mirror frame, light fittings and ornaments. And unify it all with an upholstered blue bench.<\/p>\n
20. Mix blues and browns<\/strong><\/h3>\nChoose a striking palette of blue-greys and browns, offset by crisp whites. It will give your bedroom an earthy masculinity. You could add a little landscape painting to increase the rustic charm of your brown and blue bedroom.<\/p>\n
21. Add zesty pops of orange<\/strong><\/h3>\nA darker-toned blue bedroom can sometimes veer towards unwelcoming and to avoid this, simply add some warmer accents. For example, you could warm up a sophisticated blue grey bedroom with pops of orange in the bedding which really lifts the energy of the space.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Rhema Kallianpur on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n22. Try subtle grey blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nMatte navy like a sky at dusk makes a peaceful backdrop for a bedroom. And it looks especially modern mixed with greys and whites.<\/p>\n
23. Go for colour blocking<\/strong><\/h3>\nKeep your bedroom tonally in sync by mixing a range of blue tones. For example, a peacock blue bedhead and light blue bedroom walls. To keep it feeling all too blue, add soft violet bed linen.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by \u6238\u5c71 \u795e\u5948 on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n24. Think about aqua<\/strong><\/h3>\nAqua is definitely a much less common choice for blue bedrooms but if you can pull it off, it makes a strong style statement. It often works for a Boho bedroom as a turquoise hue is consistent with American Indian influenced decorative touches, for example.<\/p>\n
25. Have an accent wall<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you aren\u2019t willing to commit to a full paint job then you might like to add an accent wall to add a splash of blue instead.\u00a0 A blue accent wall create a stage-like feeling and makes your bed the focal point. Consider a calming slate blue, complemented by green and blue bedding and tropical rattan lampshades.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Sven Brandsma on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n26. Teal tales<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere\u2019s why experts say teal is such a great colour for bedrooms. It combines the \u201cgrowth\u201d qualities of the colour green with the \u201cnourishing\u201d qualities of the colour blue. This makes it perfect for spaces in which you wish to meditate, reflect, or spend time on self-care.<\/p>\n
27. Put your head in the clouds<\/strong><\/h3>\nA bold blue wallpaper can really transform a room. But when you go with a dramatic wallpaper such as a cloudscape effect, you\u2019ll want to pare back on other elements in the space. Opt for a simple bedhead and plain bedding and otherwise keep d\u00e9cor quite minimal.<\/p>\n
It is possible to do a good DIY job with wallpaper but to make sure it looks perfectly professional, consider hiring an\u00a0expert in wallpaper installation<\/a>.<\/p>\n28. Consider cobalt blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nA deep dark blue can feel very restful, especially when mixed with refreshing white. A rich and vibrant cobalt blue adds depth and contrast to the room and imbues it with an overall calmness. Keeping the ceiling white stops the dark blue from feeling too heavy and it also makes the room seem more spacious.<\/p>\n

Go for Nordic blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a bedroom with a distinct Scandi flavour, go for a palette of Nordic blues: faded denim, navy and storm. Then contrast with chalky whites and subtle dashes of fern green and lead grey.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Chastity Cortijo on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n30. Add vitamin sea<\/strong><\/h3>\nWell-known past\u00a0The Block<\/em>\u00a0contestants Kyal and Kara have decorated their own seaside home in a strongly contemporary coastal style, with rooms painted gorgeous ocean and sky colours, and filled with stunning wooden furniture and timber accents. If you love the beachy vibe then blue is a natural choice for your bedroom\u2014a seafoam paint colour is perfect.<\/p>\n31. Try minty freshness<\/strong><\/h3>\nWith \u201cneo mint\u201d being a popular interior design colour, if you want to instantly modernise your bedroom then you could consider painting the walls in this refreshing but more mature version of always-cheerful mint.<\/p>\n

3. Add natural elements<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you love \u201ccoastal chic\u201d and Boho bedrooms<\/a>, choose a very pale shade of blue for the walls and reflect it in the tones of the bed linen. Harmoniously blend in natural materials like a rattan bedframe or timber flooring and allow in plenty of light with sheer curtains.<\/p>\n4. Bring in something vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\nTo stop a painted space from looking flat, add in a mix of vintage elements, such as industrial statement furniture or light fittings. Layering your space with both modern and vintage elements will achieve a lovely mix of textures. Try a quirky artwork or lampshade to personalise the space.<\/p>\n

Mix soft blue and dark wood<\/strong><\/h3>\nPretty pale pastel blue walls and a light bedding base create a dreamy, airy feeling in a bedroom. All the brightness can be contrasted and cosied up with a few deep, warm accents, like a timber bedside table and vintage brass lamp.<\/p>\n
6. Go black and white and blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nHave a monochrome bedroom? Turn it blue, simply by changing the bedding. Deep blue sheets add just enough blue to the space to make it feel tranquil and cosy. Add a throw in a lighter blue to break up the solid dark blue.<\/p>\n
7. Borrow from Japanese style<\/strong><\/h3>\nJapanese style shares some similarities with Scandinavian design, both being very much in favour of clean, streamlined simplicity and an abundance of beautiful natural materials. Make over your bedroom with Oriental flair, for a modern and timeless look. A soft sky blue is appropriately serene for this kind of aesthetic.<\/p>\n
8. Opt for powdery soft blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nPowder blues and baby blues have a natural softness to them, so they\u2019re very popular blue shades to use in bedrooms. These gentle pastels are highly conducive to sleep and rest and make the ideal bedroom blues. Try a baby blue chunky knitted throw in a predominantly white Scandi-style bedroom.<\/p>\n
9. Add warm tones<\/strong><\/h3>\nBring in some warmth to a cool blue bedroom with accessories in ecru and ochre tones. Here\u2019s a designer tip: paint a range of Ikea-style cardboard boxes in colours from your palette and randomly blend them into your space. Reflecting the palette this way creates a pleasing sense of unity and balance.<\/p>\n
10. Add pops of white<\/strong><\/h3>\nDropping in some white accents always refreshes a blue bedroom. Painting the skirting boards white adds a nice crisp touch.

Add gold tones to navy<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt\u2019s a classic combo. Navy is a shade of blue that just goes so well with gold-toned d\u00e9cor. You might bring in blingy glam touches with the light fittings or pick up a gold tone in a rug.<\/p>\n
14. Go for an industrial look<\/strong><\/h3>\nAdd in plenty of grey with your blues, for a strong industrial aesthetic. This might mean pale grey, concrete floors or walls, contrasted with vivid midnight blue cushions or a cornflower blue throw. Add a trio of pendant bulbs to complete the look.<\/p>\n
15. Add a leather headboard<\/strong><\/h3>\nNavy is an inherently calming shade of blue and it also conveys luxury and elegance. You can add to that effect if you are going for navy, by adding a luxe leather headboard. Tan leather looks amazing against navy, then just add in white accents in the lighting or pale timber bedside tables. Soft greys also look wonderful with navy, like charcoal linen and a pale grey knitted throw.<\/p>\n
16. Put up wallpaper<\/strong><\/h3>\nInstead of painting your bedroom walls blue, why not add gorgeous blue bedroom wallpaper<\/a>. Extra points if it\u2019s made of grasscloth as you\u2019ll get that lovely texture as well as looking highly contemporary!<\/p>\n17. Mix neutrals and natural blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a breezy coastal-style bedroom, deck it out in soft blues and neutrals. Ensure you add lashings of interesting texture with natural materials like timber furniture, woven wall d\u00e9cor, a sheepskin rug on the chair, or a vintage area rug that picks up the colour scheme.<\/p>\n
By the way, did you know you can easily hire a local Tasker to help you assemble your bedroom furniture, including\u00a0beds<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0daybeds<\/a>,\u00a0dressers<\/a>,\u00a0wardrobes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0any other bedroom furniture<\/a>\u00a0you might need to be assembled?<\/p>\n18. Go for elegance with Royal blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nRoyal blue can be a tricky colour to work with in decorating\u2014sometimes it just looks wrong. However, it can look nicely regal and refined in a master bedroom. Shades of Royal blue and Prussian blue are sophisticated choices– Royal blue is a bold saturated midnight blue, while Prussian blue is a brighter but just as intense shade of blue. Painting all your walls? A white ceiling can help prevent it feeling like a box.<\/p>\n
19. Go for a restful mid-blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nAchieve a restful blue bedroom using a flat mid-blue to imbue the space with calm and serenity. For a simple contemporary setting, blend in a mid-grey upholstered bedhead, matching grey bedsides and rug, together with a few deeper blue and bright white touches. Add sophistication with metallic elements in the mirror frame, light fittings and ornaments. And unify it all with an upholstered blue bench.<\/p>\n
20. Mix blues and browns<\/strong><\/h3>\nChoose a striking palette of blue-greys and browns, offset by crisp whites. It will give your bedroom an earthy masculinity. You could add a little landscape painting to increase the rustic charm of your brown and blue bedroom.<\/p>\n
21. Add zesty pops of orange<\/strong><\/h3>\nA darker-toned blue bedroom can sometimes veer towards unwelcoming and to avoid this, simply add some warmer accents. For example, you could warm up a sophisticated blue grey bedroom with pops of orange in the bedding which really lifts the energy of the space.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Rhema Kallianpur on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n22. Try subtle grey blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nMatte navy like a sky at dusk makes a peaceful backdrop for a bedroom. And it looks especially modern mixed with greys and whites.<\/p>\n
23. Go for colour blocking<\/strong><\/h3>\nKeep your bedroom tonally in sync by mixing a range of blue tones. For example, a peacock blue bedhead and light blue bedroom walls. To keep it feeling all too blue, add soft violet bed linen.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by \u6238\u5c71 \u795e\u5948 on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n24. Think about aqua<\/strong><\/h3>\nAqua is definitely a much less common choice for blue bedrooms but if you can pull it off, it makes a strong style statement. It often works for a Boho bedroom as a turquoise hue is consistent with American Indian influenced decorative touches, for example.<\/p>\n
25. Have an accent wall<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you aren\u2019t willing to commit to a full paint job then you might like to add an accent wall to add a splash of blue instead.\u00a0 A blue accent wall create a stage-like feeling and makes your bed the focal point. Consider a calming slate blue, complemented by green and blue bedding and tropical rattan lampshades.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Sven Brandsma on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n26. Teal tales<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere\u2019s why experts say teal is such a great colour for bedrooms. It combines the \u201cgrowth\u201d qualities of the colour green with the \u201cnourishing\u201d qualities of the colour blue. This makes it perfect for spaces in which you wish to meditate, reflect, or spend time on self-care.<\/p>\n
27. Put your head in the clouds<\/strong><\/h3>\nA bold blue wallpaper can really transform a room. But when you go with a dramatic wallpaper such as a cloudscape effect, you\u2019ll want to pare back on other elements in the space. Opt for a simple bedhead and plain bedding and otherwise keep d\u00e9cor quite minimal.<\/p>\n
It is possible to do a good DIY job with wallpaper but to make sure it looks perfectly professional, consider hiring an\u00a0expert in wallpaper installation<\/a>.<\/p>\n28. Consider cobalt blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nA deep dark blue can feel very restful, especially when mixed with refreshing white. A rich and vibrant cobalt blue adds depth and contrast to the room and imbues it with an overall calmness. Keeping the ceiling white stops the dark blue from feeling too heavy and it also makes the room seem more spacious.<\/p>\n

Go for Nordic blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a bedroom with a distinct Scandi flavour, go for a palette of Nordic blues: faded denim, navy and storm. Then contrast with chalky whites and subtle dashes of fern green and lead grey.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Chastity Cortijo on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n30. Add vitamin sea<\/strong><\/h3>\nWell-known past\u00a0The Block<\/em>\u00a0contestants Kyal and Kara have decorated their own seaside home in a strongly contemporary coastal style, with rooms painted gorgeous ocean and sky colours, and filled with stunning wooden furniture and timber accents. If you love the beachy vibe then blue is a natural choice for your bedroom\u2014a seafoam paint colour is perfect.<\/p>\n31. Try minty freshness<\/strong><\/h3>\nWith \u201cneo mint\u201d being a popular interior design colour, if you want to instantly modernise your bedroom then you could consider painting the walls in this refreshing but more mature version of always-cheerful mint.<\/p>\n

4. Bring in something vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\nTo stop a painted space from looking flat, add in a mix of vintage elements, such as industrial statement furniture or light fittings. Layering your space with both modern and vintage elements will achieve a lovely mix of textures. Try a quirky artwork or lampshade to personalise the space.<\/p>\n

Mix soft blue and dark wood<\/strong><\/h3>\nPretty pale pastel blue walls and a light bedding base create a dreamy, airy feeling in a bedroom. All the brightness can be contrasted and cosied up with a few deep, warm accents, like a timber bedside table and vintage brass lamp.<\/p>\n
6. Go black and white and blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nHave a monochrome bedroom? Turn it blue, simply by changing the bedding. Deep blue sheets add just enough blue to the space to make it feel tranquil and cosy. Add a throw in a lighter blue to break up the solid dark blue.<\/p>\n
7. Borrow from Japanese style<\/strong><\/h3>\nJapanese style shares some similarities with Scandinavian design, both being very much in favour of clean, streamlined simplicity and an abundance of beautiful natural materials. Make over your bedroom with Oriental flair, for a modern and timeless look. A soft sky blue is appropriately serene for this kind of aesthetic.<\/p>\n
8. Opt for powdery soft blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nPowder blues and baby blues have a natural softness to them, so they\u2019re very popular blue shades to use in bedrooms. These gentle pastels are highly conducive to sleep and rest and make the ideal bedroom blues. Try a baby blue chunky knitted throw in a predominantly white Scandi-style bedroom.<\/p>\n
9. Add warm tones<\/strong><\/h3>\nBring in some warmth to a cool blue bedroom with accessories in ecru and ochre tones. Here\u2019s a designer tip: paint a range of Ikea-style cardboard boxes in colours from your palette and randomly blend them into your space. Reflecting the palette this way creates a pleasing sense of unity and balance.<\/p>\n
10. Add pops of white<\/strong><\/h3>\nDropping in some white accents always refreshes a blue bedroom. Painting the skirting boards white adds a nice crisp touch. If your skirting boards don\u2019t look as nice as this, it might be time to speak to a\u00a0tradie who specialises in skirting boards<\/a>.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Bryony Elena on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n11. Luxe it up with velvet<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe velvet bedhead trend is still going strong. Something like a luscious, scalloped velvet bedhead will add a sumptuous touch to your bedroom. Another dramatic option is to cover the walls in velvet!<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Max Vakhtbovych from Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n12. Create a Boho Boudoir<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you love the Boho aesthetic then start by painting your walls a stunning saturated teal blue. It looks perfect with rattan and cane elements and delivers a rich, warm and inviting space.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Orlova Maria on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n13. Add gold tones to navy<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt\u2019s a classic combo. Navy is a shade of blue that just goes so well with gold-toned d\u00e9cor. You might bring in blingy glam touches with the light fittings or pick up a gold tone in a rug.<\/p>\n
14. Go for an industrial look<\/strong><\/h3>\nAdd in plenty of grey with your blues, for a strong industrial aesthetic. This might mean pale grey, concrete floors or walls, contrasted with vivid midnight blue cushions or a cornflower blue throw. Add a trio of pendant bulbs to complete the look.<\/p>\n
15. Add a leather headboard<\/strong><\/h3>\nNavy is an inherently calming shade of blue and it also conveys luxury and elegance. You can add to that effect if you are going for navy, by adding a luxe leather headboard. Tan leather looks amazing against navy, then just add in white accents in the lighting or pale timber bedside tables. Soft greys also look wonderful with navy, like charcoal linen and a pale grey knitted throw.<\/p>\n
16. Put up wallpaper<\/strong><\/h3>\nInstead of painting your bedroom walls blue, why not add gorgeous blue bedroom wallpaper<\/a>. Extra points if it\u2019s made of grasscloth as you\u2019ll get that lovely texture as well as looking highly contemporary!<\/p>\n17. Mix neutrals and natural blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a breezy coastal-style bedroom, deck it out in soft blues and neutrals. Ensure you add lashings of interesting texture with natural materials like timber furniture, woven wall d\u00e9cor, a sheepskin rug on the chair, or a vintage area rug that picks up the colour scheme.<\/p>\n
By the way, did you know you can easily hire a local Tasker to help you assemble your bedroom furniture, including\u00a0beds<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0daybeds<\/a>,\u00a0dressers<\/a>,\u00a0wardrobes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0any other bedroom furniture<\/a>\u00a0you might need to be assembled?<\/p>\n18. Go for elegance with Royal blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nRoyal blue can be a tricky colour to work with in decorating\u2014sometimes it just looks wrong. However, it can look nicely regal and refined in a master bedroom. Shades of Royal blue and Prussian blue are sophisticated choices– Royal blue is a bold saturated midnight blue, while Prussian blue is a brighter but just as intense shade of blue. Painting all your walls? A white ceiling can help prevent it feeling like a box.<\/p>\n
19. Go for a restful mid-blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nAchieve a restful blue bedroom using a flat mid-blue to imbue the space with calm and serenity. For a simple contemporary setting, blend in a mid-grey upholstered bedhead, matching grey bedsides and rug, together with a few deeper blue and bright white touches. Add sophistication with metallic elements in the mirror frame, light fittings and ornaments. And unify it all with an upholstered blue bench.<\/p>\n
20. Mix blues and browns<\/strong><\/h3>\nChoose a striking palette of blue-greys and browns, offset by crisp whites. It will give your bedroom an earthy masculinity. You could add a little landscape painting to increase the rustic charm of your brown and blue bedroom.<\/p>\n
21. Add zesty pops of orange<\/strong><\/h3>\nA darker-toned blue bedroom can sometimes veer towards unwelcoming and to avoid this, simply add some warmer accents. For example, you could warm up a sophisticated blue grey bedroom with pops of orange in the bedding which really lifts the energy of the space.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Rhema Kallianpur on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n22. Try subtle grey blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nMatte navy like a sky at dusk makes a peaceful backdrop for a bedroom. And it looks especially modern mixed with greys and whites.<\/p>\n
23. Go for colour blocking<\/strong><\/h3>\nKeep your bedroom tonally in sync by mixing a range of blue tones. For example, a peacock blue bedhead and light blue bedroom walls. To keep it feeling all too blue, add soft violet bed linen.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by \u6238\u5c71 \u795e\u5948 on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n24. Think about aqua<\/strong><\/h3>\nAqua is definitely a much less common choice for blue bedrooms but if you can pull it off, it makes a strong style statement. It often works for a Boho bedroom as a turquoise hue is consistent with American Indian influenced decorative touches, for example.<\/p>\n
25. Have an accent wall<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you aren\u2019t willing to commit to a full paint job then you might like to add an accent wall to add a splash of blue instead.\u00a0 A blue accent wall create a stage-like feeling and makes your bed the focal point. Consider a calming slate blue, complemented by green and blue bedding and tropical rattan lampshades.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Sven Brandsma on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n26. Teal tales<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere\u2019s why experts say teal is such a great colour for bedrooms. It combines the \u201cgrowth\u201d qualities of the colour green with the \u201cnourishing\u201d qualities of the colour blue. This makes it perfect for spaces in which you wish to meditate, reflect, or spend time on self-care.<\/p>\n
27. Put your head in the clouds<\/strong><\/h3>\nA bold blue wallpaper can really transform a room. But when you go with a dramatic wallpaper such as a cloudscape effect, you\u2019ll want to pare back on other elements in the space. Opt for a simple bedhead and plain bedding and otherwise keep d\u00e9cor quite minimal.<\/p>\n
It is possible to do a good DIY job with wallpaper but to make sure it looks perfectly professional, consider hiring an\u00a0expert in wallpaper installation<\/a>.<\/p>\n28. Consider cobalt blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nA deep dark blue can feel very restful, especially when mixed with refreshing white. A rich and vibrant cobalt blue adds depth and contrast to the room and imbues it with an overall calmness. Keeping the ceiling white stops the dark blue from feeling too heavy and it also makes the room seem more spacious.<\/p>\n

5. Mix soft blue and dark wood<\/strong><\/h3>\nPretty pale pastel blue walls and a light bedding base create a dreamy, airy feeling in a bedroom. All the brightness can be contrasted and cosied up with a few deep, warm accents, like a timber bedside table and vintage brass lamp.<\/p>\n
6. Go black and white and blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nHave a monochrome bedroom? Turn it blue, simply by changing the bedding. Deep blue sheets add just enough blue to the space to make it feel tranquil and cosy. Add a throw in a lighter blue to break up the solid dark blue.<\/p>\n
7. Borrow from Japanese style<\/strong><\/h3>\nJapanese style shares some similarities with Scandinavian design, both being very much in favour of clean, streamlined simplicity and an abundance of beautiful natural materials. Make over your bedroom with Oriental flair, for a modern and timeless look. A soft sky blue is appropriately serene for this kind of aesthetic.<\/p>\n
8. Opt for powdery soft blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nPowder blues and baby blues have a natural softness to them, so they\u2019re very popular blue shades to use in bedrooms. These gentle pastels are highly conducive to sleep and rest and make the ideal bedroom blues. Try a baby blue chunky knitted throw in a predominantly white Scandi-style bedroom.<\/p>\n
9. Add warm tones<\/strong><\/h3>\nBring in some warmth to a cool blue bedroom with accessories in ecru and ochre tones. Here\u2019s a designer tip: paint a range of Ikea-style cardboard boxes in colours from your palette and randomly blend them into your space. Reflecting the palette this way creates a pleasing sense of unity and balance.<\/p>\n
10. Add pops of white<\/strong><\/h3>\nDropping in some white accents always refreshes a blue bedroom. Painting the skirting boards white adds a nice crisp touch. If your skirting boards don\u2019t look as nice as this, it might be time to speak to a\u00a0tradie who specialises in skirting boards<\/a>.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Bryony Elena on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n11. Luxe it up with velvet<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe velvet bedhead trend is still going strong. Something like a luscious, scalloped velvet bedhead will add a sumptuous touch to your bedroom. Another dramatic option is to cover the walls in velvet!<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Max Vakhtbovych from Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n12. Create a Boho Boudoir<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you love the Boho aesthetic then start by painting your walls a stunning saturated teal blue. It looks perfect with rattan and cane elements and delivers a rich, warm and inviting space.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Orlova Maria on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n13. Add gold tones to navy<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt\u2019s a classic combo. Navy is a shade of blue that just goes so well with gold-toned d\u00e9cor. You might bring in blingy glam touches with the light fittings or pick up a gold tone in a rug.<\/p>\n
14. Go for an industrial look<\/strong><\/h3>\nAdd in plenty of grey with your blues, for a strong industrial aesthetic. This might mean pale grey, concrete floors or walls, contrasted with vivid midnight blue cushions or a cornflower blue throw. Add a trio of pendant bulbs to complete the look.<\/p>\n
15. Add a leather headboard<\/strong><\/h3>\nNavy is an inherently calming shade of blue and it also conveys luxury and elegance. You can add to that effect if you are going for navy, by adding a luxe leather headboard. Tan leather looks amazing against navy, then just add in white accents in the lighting or pale timber bedside tables. Soft greys also look wonderful with navy, like charcoal linen and a pale grey knitted throw.<\/p>\n
16. Put up wallpaper<\/strong><\/h3>\nInstead of painting your bedroom walls blue, why not add gorgeous blue bedroom wallpaper<\/a>. Extra points if it\u2019s made of grasscloth as you\u2019ll get that lovely texture as well as looking highly contemporary!<\/p>\n17. Mix neutrals and natural blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a breezy coastal-style bedroom, deck it out in soft blues and neutrals. Ensure you add lashings of interesting texture with natural materials like timber furniture, woven wall d\u00e9cor, a sheepskin rug on the chair, or a vintage area rug that picks up the colour scheme.<\/p>\n
By the way, did you know you can easily hire a local Tasker to help you assemble your bedroom furniture, including\u00a0beds<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0daybeds<\/a>,\u00a0dressers<\/a>,\u00a0wardrobes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0any other bedroom furniture<\/a>\u00a0you might need to be assembled?<\/p>\n18. Go for elegance with Royal blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nRoyal blue can be a tricky colour to work with in decorating\u2014sometimes it just looks wrong. However, it can look nicely regal and refined in a master bedroom. Shades of Royal blue and Prussian blue are sophisticated choices– Royal blue is a bold saturated midnight blue, while Prussian blue is a brighter but just as intense shade of blue. Painting all your walls? A white ceiling can help prevent it feeling like a box.<\/p>\n
19. Go for a restful mid-blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nAchieve a restful blue bedroom using a flat mid-blue to imbue the space with calm and serenity. For a simple contemporary setting, blend in a mid-grey upholstered bedhead, matching grey bedsides and rug, together with a few deeper blue and bright white touches. Add sophistication with metallic elements in the mirror frame, light fittings and ornaments. And unify it all with an upholstered blue bench.<\/p>\n
20. Mix blues and browns<\/strong><\/h3>\nChoose a striking palette of blue-greys and browns, offset by crisp whites. It will give your bedroom an earthy masculinity. You could add a little landscape painting to increase the rustic charm of your brown and blue bedroom.<\/p>\n
21. Add zesty pops of orange<\/strong><\/h3>\nA darker-toned blue bedroom can sometimes veer towards unwelcoming and to avoid this, simply add some warmer accents. For example, you could warm up a sophisticated blue grey bedroom with pops of orange in the bedding which really lifts the energy of the space.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Rhema Kallianpur on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n22. Try subtle grey blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nMatte navy like a sky at dusk makes a peaceful backdrop for a bedroom. And it looks especially modern mixed with greys and whites.<\/p>\n
23. Go for colour blocking<\/strong><\/h3>\nKeep your bedroom tonally in sync by mixing a range of blue tones. For example, a peacock blue bedhead and light blue bedroom walls. To keep it feeling all too blue, add soft violet bed linen.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by \u6238\u5c71 \u795e\u5948 on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n24. Think about aqua<\/strong><\/h3>\nAqua is definitely a much less common choice for blue bedrooms but if you can pull it off, it makes a strong style statement. It often works for a Boho bedroom as a turquoise hue is consistent with American Indian influenced decorative touches, for example.<\/p>\n
25. Have an accent wall<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you aren\u2019t willing to commit to a full paint job then you might like to add an accent wall to add a splash of blue instead.\u00a0 A blue accent wall create a stage-like feeling and makes your bed the focal point. Consider a calming slate blue, complemented by green and blue bedding and tropical rattan lampshades.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Sven Brandsma on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n26. Teal tales<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere\u2019s why experts say teal is such a great colour for bedrooms. It combines the \u201cgrowth\u201d qualities of the colour green with the \u201cnourishing\u201d qualities of the colour blue. This makes it perfect for spaces in which you wish to meditate, reflect, or spend time on self-care.<\/p>\n
27. Put your head in the clouds<\/strong><\/h3>\nA bold blue wallpaper can really transform a room. But when you go with a dramatic wallpaper such as a cloudscape effect, you\u2019ll want to pare back on other elements in the space. Opt for a simple bedhead and plain bedding and otherwise keep d\u00e9cor quite minimal.<\/p>\n
It is possible to do a good DIY job with wallpaper but to make sure it looks perfectly professional, consider hiring an\u00a0expert in wallpaper installation<\/a>.<\/p>\n28. Consider cobalt blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nA deep dark blue can feel very restful, especially when mixed with refreshing white. A rich and vibrant cobalt blue adds depth and contrast to the room and imbues it with an overall calmness. Keeping the ceiling white stops the dark blue from feeling too heavy and it also makes the room seem more spacious.<\/p>\n

Go for Nordic blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a bedroom with a distinct Scandi flavour, go for a palette of Nordic blues: faded denim, navy and storm. Then contrast with chalky whites and subtle dashes of fern green and lead grey.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Chastity Cortijo on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n30. Add vitamin sea<\/strong><\/h3>\nWell-known past\u00a0The Block<\/em>\u00a0contestants Kyal and Kara have decorated their own seaside home in a strongly contemporary coastal style, with rooms painted gorgeous ocean and sky colours, and filled with stunning wooden furniture and timber accents. If you love the beachy vibe then blue is a natural choice for your bedroom\u2014a seafoam paint colour is perfect.<\/p>\n31. Try minty freshness<\/strong><\/h3>\nWith \u201cneo mint\u201d being a popular interior design colour, if you want to instantly modernise your bedroom then you could consider painting the walls in this refreshing but more mature version of always-cheerful mint.<\/p>\n

Have a monochrome bedroom? Turn it blue, simply by changing the bedding. Deep blue sheets add just enough blue to the space to make it feel tranquil and cosy. Add a throw in a lighter blue to break up the solid dark blue.<\/p>\n
7. Borrow from Japanese style<\/strong><\/h3>\nJapanese style shares some similarities with Scandinavian design, both being very much in favour of clean, streamlined simplicity and an abundance of beautiful natural materials. Make over your bedroom with Oriental flair, for a modern and timeless look. A soft sky blue is appropriately serene for this kind of aesthetic.<\/p>\n
8. Opt for powdery soft blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nPowder blues and baby blues have a natural softness to them, so they\u2019re very popular blue shades to use in bedrooms. These gentle pastels are highly conducive to sleep and rest and make the ideal bedroom blues. Try a baby blue chunky knitted throw in a predominantly white Scandi-style bedroom.<\/p>\n
9. Add warm tones<\/strong><\/h3>\nBring in some warmth to a cool blue bedroom with accessories in ecru and ochre tones. Here\u2019s a designer tip: paint a range of Ikea-style cardboard boxes in colours from your palette and randomly blend them into your space. Reflecting the palette this way creates a pleasing sense of unity and balance.<\/p>\n
10. Add pops of white<\/strong><\/h3>\nDropping in some white accents always refreshes a blue bedroom. Painting the skirting boards white adds a nice crisp touch. If your skirting boards don\u2019t look as nice as this, it might be time to speak to a\u00a0tradie who specialises in skirting boards<\/a>.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Bryony Elena on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n11. Luxe it up with velvet<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe velvet bedhead trend is still going strong. Something like a luscious, scalloped velvet bedhead will add a sumptuous touch to your bedroom. Another dramatic option is to cover the walls in velvet!<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Max Vakhtbovych from Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n12. Create a Boho Boudoir<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you love the Boho aesthetic then start by painting your walls a stunning saturated teal blue. It looks perfect with rattan and cane elements and delivers a rich, warm and inviting space.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Orlova Maria on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n13. Add gold tones to navy<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt\u2019s a classic combo. Navy is a shade of blue that just goes so well with gold-toned d\u00e9cor. You might bring in blingy glam touches with the light fittings or pick up a gold tone in a rug.<\/p>\n
14. Go for an industrial look<\/strong><\/h3>\nAdd in plenty of grey with your blues, for a strong industrial aesthetic. This might mean pale grey, concrete floors or walls, contrasted with vivid midnight blue cushions or a cornflower blue throw. Add a trio of pendant bulbs to complete the look.<\/p>\n
15. Add a leather headboard<\/strong><\/h3>\nNavy is an inherently calming shade of blue and it also conveys luxury and elegance. You can add to that effect if you are going for navy, by adding a luxe leather headboard. Tan leather looks amazing against navy, then just add in white accents in the lighting or pale timber bedside tables. Soft greys also look wonderful with navy, like charcoal linen and a pale grey knitted throw.<\/p>\n
16. Put up wallpaper<\/strong><\/h3>\nInstead of painting your bedroom walls blue, why not add gorgeous blue bedroom wallpaper<\/a>. Extra points if it\u2019s made of grasscloth as you\u2019ll get that lovely texture as well as looking highly contemporary!<\/p>\n17. Mix neutrals and natural blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a breezy coastal-style bedroom, deck it out in soft blues and neutrals. Ensure you add lashings of interesting texture with natural materials like timber furniture, woven wall d\u00e9cor, a sheepskin rug on the chair, or a vintage area rug that picks up the colour scheme.<\/p>\n
By the way, did you know you can easily hire a local Tasker to help you assemble your bedroom furniture, including\u00a0beds<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0daybeds<\/a>,\u00a0dressers<\/a>,\u00a0wardrobes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0any other bedroom furniture<\/a>\u00a0you might need to be assembled?<\/p>\n18. Go for elegance with Royal blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nRoyal blue can be a tricky colour to work with in decorating\u2014sometimes it just looks wrong. However, it can look nicely regal and refined in a master bedroom. Shades of Royal blue and Prussian blue are sophisticated choices– Royal blue is a bold saturated midnight blue, while Prussian blue is a brighter but just as intense shade of blue. Painting all your walls? A white ceiling can help prevent it feeling like a box.<\/p>\n
19. Go for a restful mid-blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nAchieve a restful blue bedroom using a flat mid-blue to imbue the space with calm and serenity. For a simple contemporary setting, blend in a mid-grey upholstered bedhead, matching grey bedsides and rug, together with a few deeper blue and bright white touches. Add sophistication with metallic elements in the mirror frame, light fittings and ornaments. And unify it all with an upholstered blue bench.<\/p>\n
20. Mix blues and browns<\/strong><\/h3>\nChoose a striking palette of blue-greys and browns, offset by crisp whites. It will give your bedroom an earthy masculinity. You could add a little landscape painting to increase the rustic charm of your brown and blue bedroom.<\/p>\n
21. Add zesty pops of orange<\/strong><\/h3>\nA darker-toned blue bedroom can sometimes veer towards unwelcoming and to avoid this, simply add some warmer accents. For example, you could warm up a sophisticated blue grey bedroom with pops of orange in the bedding which really lifts the energy of the space.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Rhema Kallianpur on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n22. Try subtle grey blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nMatte navy like a sky at dusk makes a peaceful backdrop for a bedroom. And it looks especially modern mixed with greys and whites.<\/p>\n
23. Go for colour blocking<\/strong><\/h3>\nKeep your bedroom tonally in sync by mixing a range of blue tones. For example, a peacock blue bedhead and light blue bedroom walls. To keep it feeling all too blue, add soft violet bed linen.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by \u6238\u5c71 \u795e\u5948 on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n24. Think about aqua<\/strong><\/h3>\nAqua is definitely a much less common choice for blue bedrooms but if you can pull it off, it makes a strong style statement. It often works for a Boho bedroom as a turquoise hue is consistent with American Indian influenced decorative touches, for example.<\/p>\n
25. Have an accent wall<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you aren\u2019t willing to commit to a full paint job then you might like to add an accent wall to add a splash of blue instead.\u00a0 A blue accent wall create a stage-like feeling and makes your bed the focal point. Consider a calming slate blue, complemented by green and blue bedding and tropical rattan lampshades.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Sven Brandsma on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n26. Teal tales<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere\u2019s why experts say teal is such a great colour for bedrooms. It combines the \u201cgrowth\u201d qualities of the colour green with the \u201cnourishing\u201d qualities of the colour blue. This makes it perfect for spaces in which you wish to meditate, reflect, or spend time on self-care.<\/p>\n
27. Put your head in the clouds<\/strong><\/h3>\nA bold blue wallpaper can really transform a room. But when you go with a dramatic wallpaper such as a cloudscape effect, you\u2019ll want to pare back on other elements in the space. Opt for a simple bedhead and plain bedding and otherwise keep d\u00e9cor quite minimal.<\/p>\n
It is possible to do a good DIY job with wallpaper but to make sure it looks perfectly professional, consider hiring an\u00a0expert in wallpaper installation<\/a>.<\/p>\n28. Consider cobalt blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nA deep dark blue can feel very restful, especially when mixed with refreshing white. A rich and vibrant cobalt blue adds depth and contrast to the room and imbues it with an overall calmness. Keeping the ceiling white stops the dark blue from feeling too heavy and it also makes the room seem more spacious.<\/p>\n

Go for Nordic blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a bedroom with a distinct Scandi flavour, go for a palette of Nordic blues: faded denim, navy and storm. Then contrast with chalky whites and subtle dashes of fern green and lead grey.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Chastity Cortijo on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n30. Add vitamin sea<\/strong><\/h3>\nWell-known past\u00a0The Block<\/em>\u00a0contestants Kyal and Kara have decorated their own seaside home in a strongly contemporary coastal style, with rooms painted gorgeous ocean and sky colours, and filled with stunning wooden furniture and timber accents. If you love the beachy vibe then blue is a natural choice for your bedroom\u2014a seafoam paint colour is perfect.<\/p>\n31. Try minty freshness<\/strong><\/h3>\nWith \u201cneo mint\u201d being a popular interior design colour, if you want to instantly modernise your bedroom then you could consider painting the walls in this refreshing but more mature version of always-cheerful mint.<\/p>\n

Powder blues and baby blues have a natural softness to them, so they\u2019re very popular blue shades to use in bedrooms. These gentle pastels are highly conducive to sleep and rest and make the ideal bedroom blues. Try a baby blue chunky knitted throw in a predominantly white Scandi-style bedroom.<\/p>\n
9. Add warm tones<\/strong><\/h3>\nBring in some warmth to a cool blue bedroom with accessories in ecru and ochre tones. Here\u2019s a designer tip: paint a range of Ikea-style cardboard boxes in colours from your palette and randomly blend them into your space. Reflecting the palette this way creates a pleasing sense of unity and balance.<\/p>\n
10. Add pops of white<\/strong><\/h3>\nDropping in some white accents always refreshes a blue bedroom. Painting the skirting boards white adds a nice crisp touch. If your skirting boards don\u2019t look as nice as this, it might be time to speak to a\u00a0tradie who specialises in skirting boards<\/a>.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Bryony Elena on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n11. Luxe it up with velvet<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe velvet bedhead trend is still going strong. Something like a luscious, scalloped velvet bedhead will add a sumptuous touch to your bedroom. Another dramatic option is to cover the walls in velvet!<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Max Vakhtbovych from Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n12. Create a Boho Boudoir<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you love the Boho aesthetic then start by painting your walls a stunning saturated teal blue. It looks perfect with rattan and cane elements and delivers a rich, warm and inviting space.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Orlova Maria on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n13. Add gold tones to navy<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt\u2019s a classic combo. Navy is a shade of blue that just goes so well with gold-toned d\u00e9cor. You might bring in blingy glam touches with the light fittings or pick up a gold tone in a rug.<\/p>\n
14. Go for an industrial look<\/strong><\/h3>\nAdd in plenty of grey with your blues, for a strong industrial aesthetic. This might mean pale grey, concrete floors or walls, contrasted with vivid midnight blue cushions or a cornflower blue throw. Add a trio of pendant bulbs to complete the look.<\/p>\n
15. Add a leather headboard<\/strong><\/h3>\nNavy is an inherently calming shade of blue and it also conveys luxury and elegance. You can add to that effect if you are going for navy, by adding a luxe leather headboard. Tan leather looks amazing against navy, then just add in white accents in the lighting or pale timber bedside tables. Soft greys also look wonderful with navy, like charcoal linen and a pale grey knitted throw.<\/p>\n
16. Put up wallpaper<\/strong><\/h3>\nInstead of painting your bedroom walls blue, why not add gorgeous blue bedroom wallpaper<\/a>. Extra points if it\u2019s made of grasscloth as you\u2019ll get that lovely texture as well as looking highly contemporary!<\/p>\n17. Mix neutrals and natural blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a breezy coastal-style bedroom, deck it out in soft blues and neutrals. Ensure you add lashings of interesting texture with natural materials like timber furniture, woven wall d\u00e9cor, a sheepskin rug on the chair, or a vintage area rug that picks up the colour scheme.<\/p>\n
By the way, did you know you can easily hire a local Tasker to help you assemble your bedroom furniture, including\u00a0beds<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0daybeds<\/a>,\u00a0dressers<\/a>,\u00a0wardrobes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0any other bedroom furniture<\/a>\u00a0you might need to be assembled?<\/p>\n18. Go for elegance with Royal blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nRoyal blue can be a tricky colour to work with in decorating\u2014sometimes it just looks wrong. However, it can look nicely regal and refined in a master bedroom. Shades of Royal blue and Prussian blue are sophisticated choices– Royal blue is a bold saturated midnight blue, while Prussian blue is a brighter but just as intense shade of blue. Painting all your walls? A white ceiling can help prevent it feeling like a box.<\/p>\n
19. Go for a restful mid-blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nAchieve a restful blue bedroom using a flat mid-blue to imbue the space with calm and serenity. For a simple contemporary setting, blend in a mid-grey upholstered bedhead, matching grey bedsides and rug, together with a few deeper blue and bright white touches. Add sophistication with metallic elements in the mirror frame, light fittings and ornaments. And unify it all with an upholstered blue bench.<\/p>\n
20. Mix blues and browns<\/strong><\/h3>\nChoose a striking palette of blue-greys and browns, offset by crisp whites. It will give your bedroom an earthy masculinity. You could add a little landscape painting to increase the rustic charm of your brown and blue bedroom.<\/p>\n
21. Add zesty pops of orange<\/strong><\/h3>\nA darker-toned blue bedroom can sometimes veer towards unwelcoming and to avoid this, simply add some warmer accents. For example, you could warm up a sophisticated blue grey bedroom with pops of orange in the bedding which really lifts the energy of the space.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Rhema Kallianpur on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n22. Try subtle grey blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nMatte navy like a sky at dusk makes a peaceful backdrop for a bedroom. And it looks especially modern mixed with greys and whites.<\/p>\n
23. Go for colour blocking<\/strong><\/h3>\nKeep your bedroom tonally in sync by mixing a range of blue tones. For example, a peacock blue bedhead and light blue bedroom walls. To keep it feeling all too blue, add soft violet bed linen.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by \u6238\u5c71 \u795e\u5948 on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n24. Think about aqua<\/strong><\/h3>\nAqua is definitely a much less common choice for blue bedrooms but if you can pull it off, it makes a strong style statement. It often works for a Boho bedroom as a turquoise hue is consistent with American Indian influenced decorative touches, for example.<\/p>\n
25. Have an accent wall<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you aren\u2019t willing to commit to a full paint job then you might like to add an accent wall to add a splash of blue instead.\u00a0 A blue accent wall create a stage-like feeling and makes your bed the focal point. Consider a calming slate blue, complemented by green and blue bedding and tropical rattan lampshades.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Sven Brandsma on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n26. Teal tales<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere\u2019s why experts say teal is such a great colour for bedrooms. It combines the \u201cgrowth\u201d qualities of the colour green with the \u201cnourishing\u201d qualities of the colour blue. This makes it perfect for spaces in which you wish to meditate, reflect, or spend time on self-care.<\/p>\n
27. Put your head in the clouds<\/strong><\/h3>\nA bold blue wallpaper can really transform a room. But when you go with a dramatic wallpaper such as a cloudscape effect, you\u2019ll want to pare back on other elements in the space. Opt for a simple bedhead and plain bedding and otherwise keep d\u00e9cor quite minimal.<\/p>\n
It is possible to do a good DIY job with wallpaper but to make sure it looks perfectly professional, consider hiring an\u00a0expert in wallpaper installation<\/a>.<\/p>\n28. Consider cobalt blue<\/strong><\/h3>\nA deep dark blue can feel very restful, especially when mixed with refreshing white. A rich and vibrant cobalt blue adds depth and contrast to the room and imbues it with an overall calmness. Keeping the ceiling white stops the dark blue from feeling too heavy and it also makes the room seem more spacious.<\/p>\n

Go for Nordic blues<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor a bedroom with a distinct Scandi flavour, go for a palette of Nordic blues: faded denim, navy and storm. Then contrast with chalky whites and subtle dashes of fern green and lead grey.<\/p>\nSource: Photo by Chastity Cortijo on Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n30. Add vitamin sea<\/strong><\/h3>\nWell-known past\u00a0The Block<\/em>\u00a0contestants Kyal and Kara have decorated their own seaside home in a strongly contemporary coastal style, with rooms painted gorgeous ocean and sky colours, and filled with stunning wooden furniture and timber accents. If you love the beachy vibe then blue is a natural choice for your bedroom\u2014a seafoam paint colour is perfect.<\/p>\n31. Try minty freshness<\/strong><\/h3>\nWith \u201cneo mint\u201d being a popular interior design colour, if you want to instantly modernise your bedroom then you could consider painting the walls in this refreshing but more mature version of always-cheerful mint.<\/p>\n

Dropping in some white accents always refreshes a blue bedroom. Painting the skirting boards white adds a nice crisp touch. If your skirting boards don\u2019t look as nice as this, it might be time to speak to a\u00a0tradie who specialises in skirting boards<\/a>.<\/p>\n The velvet bedhead trend is still going strong. Something like a luscious, scalloped velvet bedhead will add a sumptuous touch to your bedroom. Another dramatic option is to cover the walls in velvet!<\/p>\n If you love the Boho aesthetic then start by painting your walls a stunning saturated teal blue. It looks perfect with rattan and cane elements and delivers a rich, warm and inviting space.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a classic combo. Navy is a shade of blue that just goes so well with gold-toned d\u00e9cor. You might bring in blingy glam touches with the light fittings or pick up a gold tone in a rug.<\/p>\n Add in plenty of grey with your blues, for a strong industrial aesthetic. This might mean pale grey, concrete floors or walls, contrasted with vivid midnight blue cushions or a cornflower blue throw. Add a trio of pendant bulbs to complete the look.<\/p>\n Navy is an inherently calming shade of blue and it also conveys luxury and elegance. You can add to that effect if you are going for navy, by adding a luxe leather headboard. Tan leather looks amazing against navy, then just add in white accents in the lighting or pale timber bedside tables. Soft greys also look wonderful with navy, like charcoal linen and a pale grey knitted throw.<\/p>\n Instead of painting your bedroom walls blue, why not add gorgeous blue bedroom wallpaper<\/a>. Extra points if it\u2019s made of grasscloth as you\u2019ll get that lovely texture as well as looking highly contemporary!<\/p>\n For a breezy coastal-style bedroom, deck it out in soft blues and neutrals. Ensure you add lashings of interesting texture with natural materials like timber furniture, woven wall d\u00e9cor, a sheepskin rug on the chair, or a vintage area rug that picks up the colour scheme.<\/p>\n By the way, did you know you can easily hire a local Tasker to help you assemble your bedroom furniture, including\u00a0beds<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0daybeds<\/a>,\u00a0dressers<\/a>,\u00a0wardrobes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0any other bedroom furniture<\/a>\u00a0you might need to be assembled?<\/p>\n Royal blue can be a tricky colour to work with in decorating\u2014sometimes it just looks wrong. However, it can look nicely regal and refined in a master bedroom. Shades of Royal blue and Prussian blue are sophisticated choices– Royal blue is a bold saturated midnight blue, while Prussian blue is a brighter but just as intense shade of blue. Painting all your walls? A white ceiling can help prevent it feeling like a box.<\/p>\n Achieve a restful blue bedroom using a flat mid-blue to imbue the space with calm and serenity. For a simple contemporary setting, blend in a mid-grey upholstered bedhead, matching grey bedsides and rug, together with a few deeper blue and bright white touches. Add sophistication with metallic elements in the mirror frame, light fittings and ornaments. And unify it all with an upholstered blue bench.<\/p>\n Choose a striking palette of blue-greys and browns, offset by crisp whites. It will give your bedroom an earthy masculinity. You could add a little landscape painting to increase the rustic charm of your brown and blue bedroom.<\/p>\n A darker-toned blue bedroom can sometimes veer towards unwelcoming and to avoid this, simply add some warmer accents. For example, you could warm up a sophisticated blue grey bedroom with pops of orange in the bedding which really lifts the energy of the space.<\/p>\n Matte navy like a sky at dusk makes a peaceful backdrop for a bedroom. And it looks especially modern mixed with greys and whites.<\/p>\n Keep your bedroom tonally in sync by mixing a range of blue tones. For example, a peacock blue bedhead and light blue bedroom walls. To keep it feeling all too blue, add soft violet bed linen.<\/p>\n Aqua is definitely a much less common choice for blue bedrooms but if you can pull it off, it makes a strong style statement. It often works for a Boho bedroom as a turquoise hue is consistent with American Indian influenced decorative touches, for example.<\/p>\n If you aren\u2019t willing to commit to a full paint job then you might like to add an accent wall to add a splash of blue instead.\u00a0 A blue accent wall create a stage-like feeling and makes your bed the focal point. Consider a calming slate blue, complemented by green and blue bedding and tropical rattan lampshades.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s why experts say teal is such a great colour for bedrooms. It combines the \u201cgrowth\u201d qualities of the colour green with the \u201cnourishing\u201d qualities of the colour blue. This makes it perfect for spaces in which you wish to meditate, reflect, or spend time on self-care.<\/p>\n A bold blue wallpaper can really transform a room. But when you go with a dramatic wallpaper such as a cloudscape effect, you\u2019ll want to pare back on other elements in the space. Opt for a simple bedhead and plain bedding and otherwise keep d\u00e9cor quite minimal.<\/p>\n It is possible to do a good DIY job with wallpaper but to make sure it looks perfectly professional, consider hiring an\u00a0expert in wallpaper installation<\/a>.<\/p>\n A deep dark blue can feel very restful, especially when mixed with refreshing white. A rich and vibrant cobalt blue adds depth and contrast to the room and imbues it with an overall calmness. Keeping the ceiling white stops the dark blue from feeling too heavy and it also makes the room seem more spacious.<\/p>\n Does your ceiling paintwork need a spruce up? Check out our DIY guide on\u00a0how to paint a ceiling<\/a>.<\/p>\n For a bedroom with a distinct Scandi flavour, go for a palette of Nordic blues: faded denim, navy and storm. Then contrast with chalky whites and subtle dashes of fern green and lead grey.<\/p>\n Well-known past\u00a0The Block<\/em>\u00a0contestants Kyal and Kara have decorated their own seaside home in a strongly contemporary coastal style, with rooms painted gorgeous ocean and sky colours, and filled with stunning wooden furniture and timber accents. If you love the beachy vibe then blue is a natural choice for your bedroom\u2014a seafoam paint colour is perfect.<\/p>\n With \u201cneo mint\u201d being a popular interior design colour, if you want to instantly modernise your bedroom then you could consider painting the walls in this refreshing but more mature version of always-cheerful mint.<\/p>\n And that’s a wrap on my suggestions for how to bring blue into your bedroom.
