When done correctly, pink and green can lend a vintage, timeless feel to a bedroom like in this space from end_of_the_row.

Opt for muted shades of green (think sage or olive) and barely there pinks (like blush or rose) to keep the color scheme feeling suitable for adults.

Go too vivid, and you risk creating a space that feels overly childlike.

Burnt Orange and Neutrals

If you are looking for a happy, mood-lifting bedroom color scheme, consider pairing pink, orange, and white like in this room from helloimaubs.

Pink and orange are close together on the color wheel.

Red, White, and Blue

Pin Studio Peake

While it’s possible to go over the top with a red, white, and blue color scheme, this bedroom from Studio Peake proves it can also feel understated and subtle.

Allow the blues and whites in your room to take center stage, and weave in red accents throughout the space.

Because red is such a fiery, bold color, it’s best to keep it subtle to maintain a tranquil, calming space.

Peach and Tan

Peach is a subtle hue. But when you pair it with tan shades, it really becomes the focal point and can appear brighter and more vivid.

This bedroom from classycasita is soothing yet cheery. The peach walls add just enough color without feeling overwhelming.

Maroon and Gold

If a dynamic neutral look is up your alley, a tan and white color scheme like this one from Hannah Tyler Designs is a great alternative to an all-white bedroom.

The brown creates warmth in the space while still feeling neutral and comforting.

Ebony + Powder White + Blush Pink

A black and white bedroom color scheme is anything but basic when accented with shiny brass and blush pink.

These light tones soften this bedroom’s high-contrast pairing of two-tone wall colors.

Because the room gets plenty of natural light, the dark color on the lower portion of the wall feels grounding rather than overwhelming.

When incorporating color with black and white, go with barely-there tones to keep the room’s emphasis on its graphic elements.

Muted blush pink, present in the floral wall art and throw blanket at the end of the bed, adds subtle interest to this bedroom color scheme.

Cream + Soft Gray + Squash Yellow + Emerald Green

Combine soft shades of both warm and cool tones to create a dynamic yet balanced bedroom color scheme.

Here, squash yellow and creamy white are cooled off with barely-there gray bedding and small hints of deep emerald green in pillows and wall art.

Mirrored details on the nightstand introduce a contemporary touch.

Country French Blue + Soft Red + Antique White

Capture the charm and grace of a bygone era with a bedroom color scheme of antiqued blue, red, and white shades.

Keep the colors reined in and employ a limited range of hues to maintain a sense of elegance.

Here, patterned textiles in muted shades of red and blue are used for curtains, pillows, and bedding.

Warm white paint color on the walls and textured, off-white area rug provides a solid neutral foundation, while aged brass sconces nod to the past.

Poppy Red + Orange + Black

Black helps temper the excitement of red and orange, creating a striking bedroom color scheme highlighted with global-inspired motifs.

A red-and-black tapestry and matching pillow turn a simple bed into a focal point, while the white bedding and walls maintain a crisp look.

Accent pillows and a throw feature ikat prints in soft orange hues that bring global flair to the space.

Creamy White + Natural Wood + Charcoal

Evoking the look of freshly fallen snow, this cottage-style bedroom combines pearly whites with rich wood tones for a look that is undeniably soothing and graceful.

Shiplap walls and muted patterns add texture and dimension to the neutral color palette.

Hints of dark charcoal in light fixtures and patterned textiles break up the expanses of white.

Burnt Orange + Dusty Pink + Crisp White

Bedroom with paisley bedspread and star light

Enveloped in hues inspired by the setting sun, this bedroom color scheme feels ideally suited for a girl.

Here, crisp white walls provide a blank canvas that lets orange and pink accents shine.

The bright colors benefit from a few darker contrasting accents.

In this bedroom, a dark, oil-rubbed bronze bed frame and light fixture do the trick.

Seafoam Green + Mustard Yellow + Linen

A nature-inspired bedroom color scheme creates a soothing, quiet aura.

In this bedroom, seafoam green and mustard yellow evoke a calm ambience, while natural textures in the woven headboard and basket add subtle interest.

The neutral-colored bedding features delicate yellow flowers that nod to the room’s organic theme.

Teal Blue + Fuchsia + Off-White

Blue and white are a familiar bedroom color scheme duo, but throwing in fuchsia takes the scheme from basic to unique.

The floral-patterned duvet inspired and guided the color ratios for this bedroom.

The teal blue covering the walls is used the most, while off-white plays out in medium doses.

Fuchsia is kept as an accent, appearing on a throw blanket and in wall art hanging above the bed.

Granite Gray + Down White + Warm Wood

Envelop an expansive room in a blanket of coziness with a warm, neutral bedroom color scheme.

Here, a wood plank accent wall and simplistic wood furniture form a richly textured backdrop.

Small doses of saturated charcoal gray and an abundance of bright white contribute a modern sophistication while a variety of textures, including soft linen bedding, a shaggy sheepskin rug, and knotty wood, add comfort and warmth.

Chocolate Brown + Swan White + Navy Blue

Timeless colors and motifs introduce charm to this quaint bedroom.

The deep chocolate brown wall color, strategically used only above the wainscoting, adds richness to the bedroom color scheme.

A distressed finish on the vintage-look bed establishes a cottage style, played up by simple bedding in a delicate navy blue and white pattern.

Fern Green + Turquoise + Yellow

For a bold bedroom color scheme, look to lush, tropical hues.

An accent wall covered in moody, fern-motif wallpaper sets the tone for this richly colored bedroom.

The vibrant green repeated on the floor and trim wraps the room in a verdant color.

Egg-yolk yellow and turquoise contrast brightly against the saturated green background.

Sand + Weathered White + Sea Glass

Bring the look of a beach resort home with a bedroom color scheme inspired by a seaside locale.

Start with a base of sandy browns and weathered whites, then layer in dusty blues and greens.

Think beyond paint when creating a coastal feel.

Here, hand-glazed woven raffia wallpaper and slate tiles convey seaside textures.

Coral-Orange + Aqua Blue + Latte White

Neutral walls and furniture in shades of similar warm white create a cloud-like backdrop for vibrant coral-orange and aqua blue.

Abstract floral print shams on the bed inspire the bedroom color scheme, and the rest of the room’s elements follow suit.

To determine your design style, find a pillow or bedspread with colors you love and build from there. Often, bedding comes in coordinated sets, but don’t be afraid to break them up.

Mix and match, or leave out parts of the set.

For example, nix the bed skirt that matches the pillows and opt for a version in a solid color that blends with the rest of the bedding.

Dusty Peony + Grass Green + Pure White

Borrow hues from the garden for a fresh, modern bedroom color scheme.

Start with a muted version of a floral hue, then pair it with a zingy green and plenty of crisp white.

Here, dusty peony pink walls and saturated tones of grass green punctuate white bedding and furniture.

Citron + Rose + Cloud White

Just because bedrooms are for resting doesn’t mean the color palette has to be boring.

Here, a complementary pair (green and pink, a variation of red) provides dynamic contrast.

The colors are bright but not overly rich and saturated, which keeps the look cheery and not overwhelming.

Indigo + Parchment + Gold

Impart a rich feeling with your bedroom color scheme.

Here, shades of parchment and cocoa brown offset indigo-blue walls and equally rich espresso-finished wood floors.

Using gold as an accent color lightens the look, but the elegant tone keeps in step with the bedroom’s sophisticated feel.

Linen + Pale Taupe + Moss

The key to a successful neutral bedroom color scheme lies beyond the colors.

Texture, pattern, and a bit of shimmer will make neutrals sing.

In this brown and green bedroom, neutrals with the same undertone, ranging from linen to taupe, are punctuated by matelasse bedding, scrollwork carpet, and a mercury glass lamp.

Moss green, a shade muted by brown, fits in with the room’s neutral colors while still adding an eye-catching spot of color.
