Blue is one of the most calming and soothing colors you can choose for the bedroom. But a blue bedroom can also go in a number of style directions: from bold and preppy navy blues to washed out beachy hues, you’ll have a lot to choose from. While you browse thousands of photos below, consider the following design ideas to incorporate in your home.

1. Dark Blue Walls: Make a statement with dark blue bedroom walls in a navy or royal blue shade. Dark walls will create a moody space that will naturally go with golden evening light.

2. Gold Accents: If you’re looking for bedroom ideas with blue, go with gold accents, which will naturally complement the space. Think gold rimmed mirrors, picture frames or table lamps.

3. Pair Blue and Gray: For a more understated space, go with a blue and gray bedroom. Perfect for a transitional style bedroom, you might go with neutral gray walls, a white upholstered headboard and light blue bedding for a very relaxed mood.

4. Blue Rug: For the ultimate contrast, go with all white bedding and a blue rug. A wooden bed frame and wooden floors would be especially fitting with this combination.

5. Powder Blue Walls: Create an elegant light blue bedroom with powder blue walls and crisp white crown molding. You might incorporate a chandelier and a stately armchair to continue the look.

6. White Wainscoting: If you’re redecorating a blue master bedroom, go dramatic with white wainscoting on the lower half of the walls. Paint the upper half your favorite shade of blue and enjoy the stately look.

7. Pair Blue and Yellow: Channel preppy style with a sunny blue and yellow bedroom. Think beachy stripes or go more contemporary with blue velvets and yellow satins.

8. Light Blue Curtains: Put up light blue curtains in the bedroom for a light and airy mood. Baby blue or even teal blue curtains would look great in a striped or floral pattern.

9. Go Boho With Bright Accents: To avoid feeling like you’re swimming in a sea of blue, go for a boho chic look with plenty of distinctive accents and antique finds. Try incorporating orange throw pillows, a chunky rug and a honey brown wooden nightstand.

10. Mostly White With Blue Accents: For a relaxing and serene blue and white bedroom, use blue sparingly and only as an accent color. Go with a white wooden bed frame and white walls complemented by light blue throw pillows.

11. Beach Style Blues: Take inspiration from the sea and go with light blue bedroom walls, paired with white wood and wicker accents. And don’t be afraid to go for a light turquoise shade — you’re sure to enjoy the sea glass look.

12. Red and Blue: Another classic preppy move is to go for red and navy blue bedroom decor. You could go bold with red stripes and a moody blue wall, and incorporate richly stained woods in your nightstand and bed frame.
