Explore Your Bedroom’s Fifth Wall

When it comes to a bedroom paint color ideas, the ceiling is often overlooked. While classic white paint is a perennial favorite, a pop of ceiling color enhances a bedroom's character. Here, Concord Ivory HC-12 is an interesting ceiling color choice paired with Metropolitan AF-690 on the lower panel insets and Barren Plain 2111-60 on the upper panels.

Especially in a small room or a room with a lower ceiling, lighter ceiling paint colors can make a room look larger and taller. We love Summer Shower 2135-60, Beacon Gray 2128-60, and Hollingsworth Green HC-141. Look for a ceiling color that is a lighter shade or slight variation of your wall color.

Here, the Smoke 2122-40-painted ceiling gives a sky-like energy to an otherwise off-white room.

 

Get Fresh, Modern Paint Color in the Bedroom

Consider a contemporary edge for your bedroom. Here, the simple, clean lines of modern design pair perfectly with layered grays, as seen in this room, painted in striking Color Stories® colors: Arctic Seal CSP-15 and Perspective® CSP-5.

Other popular bedroom colors for a clean and contemporary look include white paint colors like Simply White OC-117 and Soft Chamois OC-13, and soft grays like Classic Gray OC-23, Gray Owl, OC-52, and Paper White OC-55.

Try this for a sleek, modern look: Use the same color on the walls and trim in different sheens to create subtle contrast and a more pared back, Zen-like space.

Whether north, south, east, or west, the direction a room faces has a powerful effect on the quality of light it receives and the intensity and cast of the color it is painted.
