What colors go with blue in a bedroom?

You have a lot of color palette leeway when it comes to finding complementary colors in a blue bedroom. Kuchar personally loves mixing in warm pops of rust or camel with blues, as they can come off very neutral and add an interesting contrast. “If your blues go a bit more green in tone, adding an olive pop in pillows or art creates a nice accent,” she adds.

Is dark blue or light blue more popular?

When it comes to trends in blue bedroom decorating ideas, Montgomery predicts we’ll continue to see fewer light cool blues than lean gray in 2025 as people embrace warmer mid-tone blues and blue-greens, as well as color drenching (which refers to a technique in which one color or a group of similar hues comprise the entire space of a room from furniture to paint to decor). “I also think a dark blue bedroom is timeless if the saturation is right, and if it’s not paired with the stark contrast of white trim,” she says.

For some, light blue may be reminiscent of nursery spaces for boys or young kids’ rooms, so be careful to keep the overall mood mature when using baby blue copiously in retreats for adults.

Are blue bedrooms trending in 2025?

Montgomery believes that a dark blue bedroom remains timeless. That’s the beauty of blue: No matter the style of the space or home, you can make a blue bedroom dark, moody and cozy or light, fresh and serene, she says.
