Wall Color Ideas for a White and Blue Bedroom

A white and blue bedroom may appear cold, childish or dated with a third or fourth colour to rev it up or tone it down, based upon your style objective. Among the best approaches to inject a burst of design into a color-challenged bedroom is via the wall colour, whether it’s paint or wallpaper.

Wish List Background

Whatever your design needs, the perfect wallpaper may be the bedroom’s starting point. Consider hanging mid- or light-blue-and-white wallpaper to offset dark-blue-and-white linen and accessories. The bigger and bolder the background design, the more modern it appears. Choose white and blue wallpaper that includes a third shade to become the room’s accent color — green for a beach theme or crimson to get a sandstone scheme, like. Regardless of what colour paper you choose, copy its pattern — swirls, leaves, stripes or geometric shapes — once or twice at the room, such as in the art, a lamp base or a chandelier, for visually motion.

Color Punch

Orange is blue’s complementary shade; by matching shade opposites, you produce a balanced and interesting bedroom. Orange walls keep a white and blue space from seeming too tired or stark, but select that energizing shade carefully. Warm purple or orange is visually quieter than bright orange and form of the adult version of pink. If pink is your preference, choose a dusty hue instead of something which resembles antacids, candy or infant blankets — unless you’re decorating a child’s room. A few blue-and-white wallpaper stripes behind the bed split the wall colour and form the concept of a headboard.

Light and Airy

A light blue or gray blue and pure-white bedroom may appear glaringly cold. Simply take the space from stark to airy with creamy white walls. Yellowy white is like a buttery and blissful mediator between white and blue. Infuse the space with cream-colored accents, including lush draperies, velvet throw cushions and a shag area rug for much more toasty softness.

Dark and Dreamy

Brown walls highlight white or blue bedding and window treatments, but they also wrap around the room with cocoon-like relaxation, taking the visual chill from the trendy tones. Upsurge the warmth provided by brownish walls by integrating a reclaimed-wood focal wall behind the bed. The wall acts as a textural headboard; dress it with blue-and-white artwork or a mirror to reflect the room’s trendy colors for equilibrium.
