48 Designer Bedroom Color Schemes for Even Sweeter Dreams (2024)

Looking to feel scholarly and inspired by your bedroom? Take a page out of designer Todd Romano's book and mimic this bold brick red bedroom idea. With contrasting book jackets filling the floor-to-ceiling shelves, the literature acts as art—and also creates an outlet to easily switch up your bedroom color scheme should you choose to swap out novels.

Something about this Ceara Donnelley-designed bedroom screams opulence while still feeling approachable thanks to the warm yellow and cream color palette. From the four-poster bed and chandelier to the skirted bedroom bench and arched valances, this bedroom color scheme would make waking up feel like a buttery treat.

You don't need to fly a flag in your bedroom to show off your patriotism. Instead, you can follow designer Anthony Baratta's lead and opt for an Americana color scheme. While no stars are in sight, this red, white, and blue bedroom will serve as a beacon in the dawn's early light (and it will be equally as cozy when bathed in warm yellow light at night).

If you like the idea of a monochrome bedroom color scheme but don't want it to feel too crisp or cool, take a peek at this masterpiece by designer Cece Barfield Thompson. The warm-toned cream color brings images of clotted cream to mind, making this color scheme a particularly indulgent option.

Farmhouse decor tends to be more understated, with solid colors, simple embroidery, and the occasional monogram making an appearance. One way to instantly elevate a farmhouse-inspired bedroom is with bold wallpaper, like designer Heather Chadduck Hillegas did here.

There's something to be said about the way light reflects off the color yellow. At night, the reflection feels warm and cozy, like a much-needed embrace, while in the morning it feels like a natural awakening akin to sunrise. Suffice it to say, if your goal is to make waking up each morning a tad easier, opting for a marigold color scheme (as designer Palmer Weissdesigner did here) in your bedroom can certainly help.

You can embrace your patriotism with nary a red stripe in sight. Case in point: This Palmer Weiss Montana masterpiece. Using dark red Indo-Persian medallions, Weiss was able to bring the two main colors of the American flag into this beautifully simple bedroom. By painting the walls an ever-so-subtle gray-blue, he was able to tie it together in a muted-yet-stunning way.

There's something so refreshing and revitalizing about the color blue. Pair it with white and you have yourself a color scheme that feels like a breath of fresh air. To make it a bit more bohemian and a little less crisp, designer Mark D. Sikes weaved chambray pillows and washed denim hues into the mix in this stunning California bedroom.

Designer Ken Fulk has a way of making spaces look glamorous without so much as a glittering chandelier in sight. Here, he brought Old Hollywood luxury to life with a riveted black leather bed, MCM striped chair, an antique nightstand, and black and cream floral wallpaper.

On a much lighter note, designer Angie Hranowsky makes a case for muted jewel tones in this cream, purple, green, and blue bedroom. While the colors are all quite washed out (apart from the beautiful green velvet couch), Hranowsky shows how you can create intrigue using texture, finishes, and patterns—none of which need to be bold in hue in order to turn heads.

David Netto prevents this traditional Connecticut bedroom from sinking into boredom thanks to some fun vintage finds, like the Morrocan Tuareg mat. Bold, heavy-patterned wallpaper rounds out the room and allows the simple, sophisticated furnishings to shine.

This vintage-inspired floral wallpaper from Cole & Sons set the stage for this fabulous guest bedroom, designed by Cynthia McCullough Interiors. Adding a matching sky blue upholstered bed and bright salmon-colored accents offers a visual feast for the eyes, while a mix of vintage pieces evokes countryside charm.

This glamorous bedroom was designed by Alex Papachristidis for his sister's Hamptons home. This gold, textural pattern sweeps across the room—from the walls to drapes—and it's offset by beige furnishings and bed linens. The white-plaster woodland guest bed was inspired by Pauline de Rothschild’s Château Mouton.

Leave it to designer Alessandra Branca to breathe new life into one of the most classic color combinations of all time: blue and white. The designer partnered with de Gournay to create this swoon-worthy wallcovering and mingles in unique antiquities to make this one-of-a-kind room have a breezy feel. It is inspired by her love for Portuguese tile.

Bobby McAlpine's Atlanta home evokes a cozy, masculine vibe with a neutral color palate. The variance of textures, from the wooden logs to the furry throw, keeps the eyes flitting across the room and makes it an interesting space without being busy. Bright-white bed linens and drapes keep the room light and airy. Stag sculpture, Revival Home.

This earthy, organic bedroom is set in the perfect location: The Alisal Guest Ranch in Santa Barbara. Designer Nathan Turner was inspired by the natural beauty and artisans of the surrounding areas, and even worked with a local furniture maker to design original California Monterey pieces, like the side table. Southwestern-inspired Pendleton bed linens and a terra-cotta wall color (Picture Gallery Red by Farrow & Ball) give this room an authentic feel without the kitsch.

This Greenwich, Connecticut, bedroom, designed by Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey, pays homage to the historic area that was founded in the 17th century. Her artful eye for blending patterns and colors gives this colonial room an updated twist with Clarence House fabric and wallpaper and Matouk bed linens.

This Miles Redd–designed bedroom plays up coastal design with a natural fiber rug, light wooden furniture, and various hues of blue. The seafoam blue wallcovering by Iksel Decorative Arts offers serenity and brightness to this Bahamian guest bedroom, making it the perfect place to recharge after a long day in the Caribbean sunshine.

This cozy, neutral palette is inspired by the incredible Rocky Mountain views in the windows. Designer Richard Hallberg plays up the earthen, organic materials and tones of this Aspen home's surroundings to create this serene bedroom that perfectly blends in with the landscape.

Designer Kate Ridder's Hampton home is all about awe-inspiring color clashes, and we adore this blend of orchid pink and cobalt blue, plus all the fun texture and pattern happening across the space. Drapery and bed fabric are from Studio Four, while the vintage rug is Märta Måås-Fjetterström.
