6 of The Best Modern Paint Colors for Bedrooms

If the long months inside your home this winter have left you wishing for a new bedroom sanctuary, now is a perfect time. A full renovation with furniture, flooring, and walls has the potential to get very costly. Start with the most budget-friendly option – some interior painting! Here are 6 of the best modern paint colors for bedrooms. In the greater Rochester, MI we have done several jobs this year in each of these colors, but the colors would work just about anywhere you live. It all depends on your personal tastes, and how you want the room to look and feel.

1. Blue

Blue is a perennial favorite for bedrooms because of its calming and restful properties. Update the color with one of the following versions.

Pale blue with whitewashed trim brings the cottage to you. With this color scheme, you’ll have a retreat on par with the best spa. Since the blue is pail, it acts as a neutral. Match textiles and flooring in a snap since nearly anything goes. Make sure your blue has hints of lavender and gray to offset the reds. Add movement and color with floral patterns.

2. Green

Bring the outdoors in! Green is an unexpected but great choice for a bedroom with style. The psychology of green brings happiness to those in the room, something we all could use. A happy bedroom at the end of a hard day is just what the doctor ordered.

Go with a green field by choosing a bold, vivid green for your wall choice. Some find it too energizing for rest. Be sure to test the color out before committing. If you still want green, try pale. It’s a regular choice for nurseries, so why not carry it into adulthood?

3. Pale

Vivid bedrooms are mostly out of vogue, giving way for the pale cousins. Relaxation comes in droves with walls of lavender, pale blue, light yellow, and barely green. The colors pull in calmness without being bland. Each hue creates a room that feels bigger than it is and works well with other colors. It’s simple elegance you can live in.

4. Purple

Purple is back in all forms when it comes to bedrooms. Lilac has been chosen often and the bolder go with a bright plum. Dress the color up or down with accessories and textiles. Light looks will take the color up a notch and give an airy, girly feel. Paired with deeper colors, the room is stately, made for a royal.

5. Gray

Gray is the new neutral. Long gone is beige and white is out, so go for this new, easy to work with favorite. The modern color is a great base to create a pulled-together room. Gray has replaced white as a staple color, be it barely there or deeply dark.

6. Pink

Avoid girly and go grown. Dusty rose is all over the social media boards as a wall color option for grown girls. Pair it with green for a strawberry field inspired room, or put in a cream to dress it up. Pink in various versions has taken over the bedroom.
