How To Pick The Right Shade Of Blue For Your Room

Picking the right shade of blue for your bedroom isn’t a perfect science, but here are a few tips for choosing your perfect hue!

For a calming effect, look for a soft and neutral shade. The more similar to what you’d see in nature, the better!
Avoid bright, or vibrant blue hues that can feel more stimulating than relaxing.
If it lacks natural light, using light shades of blue can make a small bedroom feel bigger and more open.
Alternatively if you’ve got too much light streaming in during sleeping hours, darker shades like navy can help keep things calm.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match different shades of blue, and create a beautiful monochromatic look.

Blue & White Bedding Ideas

The best way to decorate your bed in a blue and white style depends on the size of your bedroom, and your bed frame.

In smaller rooms, white bedding with blue accents make a nice statement. Neutral colored bedding can make a room feel bigger, and a clean white color is a prefered choice in luxury hotel decor because it says “relax here”!

Then you can adding your blue in with throw pillows and a blanket at the foot of the bed. This calming arrangement will keep a small bedroom from feeling too busy.

In a bigger room, you can get away with pretty blue and white patterns or relaxing and moody dark blue hues. Just keep in mind picking a rest full shade, and simple patterns to keep cozy!

Curtain Ideas For A Blue & White Bedroom

When it comes to window treatments in the bedroom, make sure you have what you need to get a good night’s sleep!

I’m a big fan of blackout curtains to keep the room dark and I love my velvet curtains with light blocking panels.

Alternatively if you don’t have a lot of natural light in your room, get a more open airy feel with a classic white set of curtains.

Overall I lean towards solid colors for curtains in a restful bedroom, because your window coverings take up a lot of visual space. If a pattern is too busy it can make the room feel hectic.

Solid colored curtains with embellishments on the edges (like a border or tassels) are a fun way to add some texture to your window coverings, while keeping things serene.
