Modern Farmhouse Gray

Bedroom Paint Color Ideas

Undoubtedly the modern neutral paint color of choice, gray is a hallmark hue of the trendy yet timeless modern farmhouse style. Although the finishes and decor of modern farmhouse tend to concentrate around kitchens and common areas, taking the gray color scheme into the bedrooms creates a sense of unity and compatibility among the different areas of your home, while still being a neutral shade that each member of the family can personalize with their preferred decor and accents.

Warm, Wonderful (Off) Whites

Bedroom Paint Color Ideas

Shades of cream and white paint color are about as classic and clean as it gets. When set against a bright white trim and ceiling, antique white or a similar light neutral looks fantastic with traditional wood furniture and frames. And here's a pro designer tip for bedroom ideas: layer several shades of cream and white upholstery and bed linens to make your bedroom furnishings look even softer and more inviting against your white or cream-colored walls.

Misty Jewel Tones

Bedroom Paint Color Ideas

Neutrals are fairly foolproof, but no list of bedroom paint colors would be complete without some actual colors for those who need some more variety on their walls. Lighter, misty jewel tones in purple, green, and blue make a statement without overwhelming a space, and the kids might enjoy the personality of their bedroom colors being different from one another. Again, instead of saturating your walls with bright bedroom paint colors, opt for a misty shade that allows your wall art and textiles to stand out, modernizing and personalizing each room.

Muted Browns

Bedroom Paint Color Ideas

Deep hues of beige and chocolate paint color are undeniably refined, classy, and cozy. If you're looking for bedroom ideas that evoke a sense of intimate grandeur, think about a muted brown paired with metallic wall frames, art, and even linens. Bronze and gold accents, soft lighting, and a soft, earthy brown paint color on the walls will create a relaxing space that you can't wait to return to at the end of the day. While this would make a fabulous and unexpected scheme for a nursery, the master bedroom is where it really makes a statement. See More Brown Paint Colors
