Bedroom Painting Ideas

Here are some practical bedroom painting ideas to help you end up with the perfect place to retire to for a good night's sleep.

Bedroom painting starts with choosing a color for yourself. Let the major items that are already in the room be your guidelines for ideas. What is the color of your bedspread and your curtains or drapes? What are the major colors in your wall paintings or other art objects? What about the colors of your furniture, lamps, and so on. The colors of these items are obviously colors that you enjoy being around - so they should help to suggest the color of your walls.

Consider the colors of all of the items mentioned above. These are your accent colors. The wall color will be your dominant color. Ideally, you want to select a dominant color the meshes well with all of or the major accent colors in the room. If you don't have natural color matching skills, use a color wheel to assist you. Also, your paint store will be happy to help you as well.

While it can be tempting to go wild with paint, the bedroom is probably not the best place to explore the secret abstract painter you feel lives deep within your hidden self. Studies show that color can be a stimulant or color can have a calming influence on people, so it is best to stick to soothing colors when painting a bedroom. Bright and bold colors like orange, lemon yellow, or fire engine red tend to stir people up, making them poor color choices for a room in which you hope to get a good night's sleep.  Pastels are very calming. Perhaps their calming effect is the reason they are often used in babies' rooms. However, many adults find that pastels are boring or infantile. If pastels just aren't your taste, consider this bedroom painting idea. Choose colors from a light beige pallet or look into hues of green and blue. You might even consider darker colors such as navy blue, which will cool and darken the room and promote good sleep.

Because your bedroom isn't on display the way the rest of your house is, it is the perfect room to experiment with exciting new painting techniques. There are many impressive sponge painting kits or techniques that allow you to give your walls a faux finish and the bedroom is the perfect place to try these new looks. If you aren't thrilled with the idea of walls that look like leather or stone, consider using stencils to add interest to your room. A tasteful mural or even calming words stenciled on the walls can make an ordinary room into a showplace.  Another great bedroom painting idea is to paint subtle stripes on your walls using two colors that are almost the same in an alternate pattern.

Your bedroom should be a haven of rest from a busy world. If you are looking to create a sanctuary in your home, consider using some of these bedroom painting ideas.
