48 Designer Bedroom Color Schemes for Even Sweeter Dreams

You don't need to fly a flag in your bedroom to show off your patriotism. Instead, you can follow designer Anthony Baratta's lead and opt for an Americana color scheme. While no stars are in sight, this red, white, and blue bedroom will serve as a beacon in the dawn's early light (and it will be equally as cozy when bathed in warm yellow light at night).

There's something to be said about the way light reflects off the color yellow. At night, the reflection feels warm and cozy, like a much-needed embrace, while in the morning it feels like a natural awakening akin to sunrise. Suffice it to say, if your goal is to make waking up each morning a tad easier, opting for a marigold color scheme (as designer Palmer Weissdesigner did here) in your bedroom can certainly help.

You can embrace your patriotism with nary a red stripe in sight. Case in point: This Palmer Weiss Montana masterpiece. Using dark red Indo-Persian medallions, Weiss was able to bring the two main colors of the American flag into this beautifully simple bedroom. By painting the walls an ever-so-subtle gray-blue, he was able to tie it together in a muted-yet-stunning way.

There's something so refreshing and revitalizing about the color blue. Pair it with white and you have yourself a color scheme that feels like a breath of fresh air. To make it a bit more bohemian and a little less crisp, designer Mark D. Sikes weaved chambray pillows and washed denim hues into the mix in this stunning California bedroom.

Designer Ken Fulk has a way of making spaces look glamorous without so much as a glittering chandelier in sight. Here, he brought Old Hollywood luxury to life with a riveted black leather bed, MCM striped chair, an antique nightstand, and black and cream floral wallpaper.

On a much lighter note, designer Angie Hranowsky makes a case for muted jewel tones in this cream, purple, green, and blue bedroom. While the colors are all quite washed out (apart from the beautiful green velvet couch), Hranowsky shows how you can create intrigue using texture, finishes, and patterns—none of which need to be bold in hue in order to turn heads.

David Netto prevents this traditional Connecticut bedroom from sinking into boredom thanks to some fun vintage finds, like the Morrocan Tuareg mat. Bold, heavy-patterned wallpaper rounds out the room and allows the simple, sophisticated furnishings to shine.

This vintage-inspired floral wallpaper from Cole & Sons set the stage for this fabulous guest bedroom, designed by Cynthia McCullough Interiors. Adding a matching sky blue upholstered bed and bright salmon-colored accents offers a visual feast for the eyes, while a mix of vintage pieces evokes countryside charm.

This earthy, organic bedroom is set in the perfect location: The Alisal Guest Ranch in Santa Barbara. Designer Nathan Turner was inspired by the natural beauty and artisans of the surrounding areas, and even worked with a local furniture maker to design original California Monterey pieces, like the side table. Southwestern-inspired Pendleton bed linens and a terra-cotta wall color (Picture Gallery Red by Farrow & Ball) give this room an authentic feel without the kitsch.

This Greenwich, Connecticut, bedroom, designed by Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey, pays homage to the historic area that was founded in the 17th century. Her artful eye for blending patterns and colors gives this colonial room an updated twist with Clarence House fabric and wallpaper and Matouk bed linens.
