Blue is a perfect color choice for a bedroom, as it has a calming effect which is exactly what you need in a space where you mainly go to get a good rest. The color blue comes in a variety of shades and tones and the paint color you should pick depends on the size of the room and the color of the natural light hitting the space.
When you have a large bedroom you can opt to paint your walls blue with a dark shade, while smaller spaces might benefit from a lighter blue paint color.
Below you can find a list of the most beautiful blue bedroom ideas, carefully selected by me. The list includes a variety of bedroom ideas with blue walls in different tints, and tones and combined with different materials in the textiles, art pieces, and furniture pieces.
A muted dark blue combined with white textiles and a gallery wall above the bed
This bedroom features a subtle muted, yet dark tone of blue, which contrasts nicely with the sheer white linen curtains and the light hardwood flooring. The mixture of white and beige bedding softens out the cold blue of the walls and the gallery wall above the bed adds even more character and personality to this space.
Apart from the white tones in the textiles and the art prints popping out against the wall color, the light grey Flowerpot bedside lamps and the white Flos Gatto lamp get a lot of attention against this dark wall color as well.

A teal blue bedroom with a small home office
The blue bedroom walls in this asymmetric space have green undertones, which pair up nicely with the beige and orange tones in the textiles and furniture pieces.
The white wardrobe matches the white crown molding on the ceiling and the white on the door and window frames for a classy look. Next to the wing doors, a small yet smart home office finds its place, featuring warm wood tones that contrast nicely with the cool tones in the paint color.

A muted blue bedroom with blue doors
A muted blue has been used here on all the walls and one of the doors for a cohesive look. The moldings and the other door are kept white for contrast and the blue of the walls comes back in the accessories all over the room.
The rich tones of the art print above the bed both complement and contrast the blue walls at the same time and the lighter tones in the bedding and headboard bring balance to this calm look.

A light blue bedroom combined with beige accent pieces
So far, the blue bedroom ideas in this list were all a bit on the darker side, but you can have a very calming effect with light blue walls as well. This light blue bedroom has a fresh look that has a spacious appearance because of the relatively light wall color.
The white accents in the linen bedding, side table, bentwood chair, ricepaper shade, and area rug enhance the light and fresh look the light blue walls create, while the beige in the art print and the other soft furnishings add a warm touch to the space.

A rich dark blue accent wall
This all-white bedroom features a rich, dark feature blue wall, which creates a beautiful contrast in the space. When you look closely enough, you can see the wall is actually a blue wallpaper or existing wallpaper that has been painted over.
The crisp white linen sheets enhance the contrast in the room even more, while the vintage chairs next to the bed add a lot of character. The black Gubi Bestlite BL6 Wall Lamps finish the look off perfectly and add a lot of dimension above the bed.

A dark teal blue bedroom with beige textiles
I think this is one of the most perfectly balanced blue bedroom ideas you can find. The dark teal wall color brings out the beautiful white trim on the ceiling and the white window frames, while the warm tones in the decorative pillows and the linen curtains warm up the cool tones of the blue bedroom walls.
The camel bedsheets and the beige tones add the final touch to this balanced color scheme and the simple black wall lights add a lovely contrast above the bed.

Pale navy blue paired up with light textiles
The dark, muted navy blue bedroom walls highlight the beautiful crown molding on the ceiling and the overall look of the space has been brightened up with the sheer white linen curtains and the light grey fabric headboard.
The walls in blue pair up perfectly with the warm wood tones in the small furniture pieces and the hardwood flooring. The mixture of white bedding and beige textiles works wonderfully in this space and the single striped throw pillow becomes a subtle eye-catcher on the bed.

A greyish-blue bedroom on a small surface
When you are required to work on a small surface, sometimes you need a bit of a darker color anyways to bring more character to the bedroom scheme. Depending on how the light hits the wall color, this might be more of a grey, yet it’s definitely a grey with cool undertones, which is why this bedroom found its place in the list of blue bedroom ideas.
The small wardrobe has been painted in the same color as the walls, which can be such an upgrade from white furniture pieces when you want to go for an integrated look and feel.

A light blue ceiling in a white bedroom
This might be one of the most uncommon blue bedroom ideas on the list, yet the blue on the ceiling has such an impactful effect on the space. The blue ceiling mimics a blue sky, which gives the otherwise modest interior design a playful touch.
To work with a darker-colored ceiling as your walls, it’s essential that your room has relatively high ceilings so that the space doesn’t feel too cramped. You could even work with a blue wallpapered ceiling to attract even more attention to the height of the room and just like in this example, a beautiful pendant light will finish off the look perfectly.

A deep color blue on walls, windows, and doorframes
This is one of the blue bedroom ideas that have the moodiest effect in the room. Not only did the interior designer select a very dark tone of blue, the entire space including the window and door frames and headboard is painted in the same beautiful blue paint color for a very impressive effect.
The light artwork above the bed, the white ceiling, and the beige bedsheets really stand out against the dark color scheme on the walls and the wing doors that lead up to the bedroom are kept white, which makes it look like they ‘frame’ the dark color palette of the small bedroom.

Grey walls combined with blue curtains and blue decorative pillows
While so far in this list, we’ve seen many blue bedroom ideas with deep blue walls brightened up with lighter elements, a more dramatic look has been achieved in this bedroom, which has a dark color scheme overall.
By using dark blue curtains combined with blue-grey textiles on the bed, a tone-on-tone color scheme is created, which has been contrasted with the beautiful black Mantis BS5 wall lamp to finish off this dramatic look.

A navy blue bedroom with gold and blue accents
The navy blue wall color in this bedroom highlights the white trim, white floorboards, and white ceiling in the space in an elegant way, enhanced by the soft beige curtains that warm up the daylight coming through the white windows.
The white bedding is matched by a white area rug and the throw pillows in muted colors add a tranquil vibe to the space. The blue bedroom walls are enhanced by gold wall lamps and blue accents in the XL art print above the bed.
The home office spot adds a natural element to the space matched by the peg rail on the wall, which complement the warm tones in the hardwood flooring in a lovely way.

A muted royal blue accent wall in an all-white bedroom
An accent wall can be a great solution if you want to make sure your blue bedroom doesn’t become too dark. In this space, the contrast between the blue and white walls has been balanced out by including vintage furniture pieces in warm wood tones.
The beautiful white crown molding on the ceiling stands out against the blue bedroom wall and this effect has been carried over in the selection of the wardrobe as well, which matches the classy white look of the historic architectural details of the space.

Pale light blue walls combined with white textiles and wood tones
A soft, yet fresh look has been achieved in this beautiful space by combining the cool wall color with warm elements. The wing doors leading up to the bedroom are kept bare and in the room itself, you can find a lovely combination of warm wood and beige textiles.

Blue hues combined with warm tones for a characterful effect
I think this bedroom has so many interesting elements. The vintage shelf combined with the vintage mirror looks amazing, yet comes to life even better because of the deep blue wall color. The bed itself has been made with warm-colored textiles and the walls around the window have been kept white to accentuate the bright daylight coming in.

Fresh blue walls combined with white textiles
This blue bedroom has a very fresh tone of light blue on the walls, which has a wonderful effect on this smaller bedroom space. The off-white linen curtains go wall-to-wall and frame the window in a nice way.
The beige, wood, and blue accents throughout the room add a calm touch to the space and the Cestita lamp by Santa & Cole in the window is the cherry on top of this modest color palette.
A navy blue backdrop
The deep blue accent wall in this bedroom design has been used to accentuate the beautiful old built-in wardrobes next to the window. The contrast between the white and blue paint helps to visually understand the uncommon layout of the room and this contrast has been enhanced by using white wall lamps, bedside tables, and bedsheets.
The white art print and the wall lamps seem to jump out against the dark blue, which is the perfect backdrop for the white bedding and furnishings in this bedroom design.

A soothing blue wall color combined with a simple decor
This bedroom design has a perfect balance between the blue on the wall, the white bedsheets, the paper shade lamp, and the green plants in both the window and on the floor. The green plants add an extra fresh touch to the space, which is lacking in the muted wall color itself and the Japanese lampshade is a true focal point in this modest decor.

A blue wardrobe built around the bed
While most of the blue bedroom ideas on my list include blue walls, in this example, the custom wardrobe solution is the source of blue color in the interior design.
The muted blue wardrobe has been custom-built around the bed for an impressive look in this all-white bedroom. The white bedding, beige curtains, and beige throw blanket add a warm touch to the cool tones of the wardrobe and add a certain balance to the space to make it the perfect room to fall asleep in.

Pale dark blue and calming shades of beige in a guestroom and home office
If blue is too daring for your primary bedroom, it might be a perfect color choice for your guest bedroom instead. A perfect balance has been achieved between the wall color, furniture pieces, and accessories in this bedroom.
I love the way the warm wood of the little desk, the warm textiles of the lounge chair, and the warm elements in the art prints above the bed are the red thread in this interior, which comes to life because of the deep blue backdrop the wall color provides.

A blue color scheme in the walls and wardrobe
A deep blue wall color has been used on both the walls and on the built-in wardrobe in this space, which contrasts so beautifully with the pink linen bedsheets, and the natural materials in the home office area. The white curtains, windows, and flooring lift up the otherwise dark and moody vibe in this room.

A blue bedroom with a shiplap wardrobe
The darker blue shade of the bedroom walls enhances the clean lines of the space and the wardrobe section that has been covered with shiplap. The different patterns and textures in the materials of the space work very nicely together and the blue wall paint ties the look of the space together.
The brighter colors on the bed add texture to the look, while the antique wood desk in front of the window adds a lot of character.

This pastel blue bedroom is the lightest example of the blue bedroom ideas on the list. The light blue wall color adds a subtle yet fresh touch to the space that highlights the white crown molding on the ceiling and the beautiful soap-wash hardwood flooring.

A teal blue bedroom with a tone-on-tone wardrobe
This bedroom has a beautiful teal wall color, which also comes back on the wardrobe for a tone-on-tone look. The wardrobe doesn’t go all the way up to the ceiling, which has a lighter effect, but the floorboards are extended underneath the wardrobe for an integrated look.
The teal blue wall color is complemented with white bedding and a pale mustard throw blanket on the bed, while the black wall lamps add a lovely contrast to the look.

A blue bedroom with a mixture of decorative pillows

The antique desk adds a rustic feel to the bedroom and provides a perfect spot to work from home.

The complementary colors in the artwork match perfectly with the color on the wall in this bedroom, which defines the look of this space.

Combine Blue Walls with White Furniture pieces
When you are working with a blue bedroom, you can ensure things don’t get too cool and dark by balancing it out with a mix of warm tones and white furniture pieces. A large white wardrobe and a light headboard will break the big surfaces of painted walls, especially in a bedroom with high ceilings.

Work with Blue Wallpaper for a Romantic Effect
Blue bedroom ideas can look cool and fresh, yet if you want your sleeping space to have a romantic touch, you can combine both worlds by selecting a bedroom wallpaper in blue tones. The white accents in the furniture pieces, lighting, and textiles complement the white elements in the wallpaper for a beautiful complementing effect where blue and white come together.
