1. Relaxing effect with a bedroom in a soft blue
Color psychology leaves no room for doubt: blue is the favorite color for your bedroom. It makes us think of the sky and water, and this promotes relaxation and better sleep. In this bedroom, decorator Begoña Susaeta opted for a soft turquoise blue that helps to enlarge a small room. Headboard designed by Sube Interiorismo with Sette fabric.

5. An urban and elegant bedroom with blue touches
Who says blue is exclusive to summer apartments? This classic-inspired bedroom demonstrates how blue looks perfectly in an urban apartment. Here, the choice was a deep blue, which provides an elegant and understated tone, and it has been carried over into the bedding, textile accessories, and details, such as the painting and the ceramic vases on the wardrobe.

6. A bright and very personal bedroom with Classic Blue
Don’t be afraid to go for a deep blue, like Classic Blue, Pantone’s 2020 Color of the Year. The important thing is to tone down its intensity so it’s not too dark. You can do this with white or other softer blues. The result? A bright, relaxing, and very personal bedroom.

Room decorated by Meritxell Ribé.
9. A blue upholstered headboard, a more welcoming bed
An upholstered headboard makes us think of a softer bed. It’s the visual effect the fabric creates. The light blue and floral print add softness to the feel. And all of this, together, contributes to a better night’s sleep. Headboard, stool and wall light by María Santos, the space’s decorator.
10. Color a neutral-based bedroom with blue
Blue is a perfect match for the bedroom, as its calming effect makes it a perfect choice for adding color while maintaining a restful atmosphere. In its softer shades, like the bedding in this bedroom, it is bright and light.Headboard designed by architects Irma Aleu and Rosa Viñets.
11. Play with different shades of blue in your bedding
A grayish blue for the headboard, a sky blue for the cushions, and an indigo blue for the decorative pillows and plaid. What a great choice! And if you want to give your bedroom more dynamism, one way is to play with the bedding and, starting with one color, in this case blue, combine different intensities or tones. Nightstand by Catalina House and mirror by Sacum.
12. An elegant and sophisticated bedroom
This bedroom belongs to a beach apartment, but decorator Roger Bellera wanted to escape the typical nautical look without sacrificing blue.

13. Blue and white, the brightest combination

14. Blue to “draw” the structure of the room
You don’t need to paint everything blue and dress the bed in blue to appreciate the benefits of this color. Here, blue dominates, yet its presence is limited: in beams, woodwork, and textiles, which bring calm while simultaneously “drawing” the structure of the space.

15. Blue details here and there
If your bedroom is open to the dressing room or even the bathroom, don’t just think about adding blue to the sleeping area. Other areas should also have touches of blue, like here, where the bathroom has blue towels. Serenity reigns supreme, and no “uninvited” colors will disturb your rest.Vanity unit, mirror and bed, in My House.
16. A versatile and trendy greyish blue
It’s neither gray nor blue, but it’s precisely this versatility, depending on the light intensity, that makes this color a very interesting choice. Gray lends sobriety and elegance, while blue diminishes its “seriousness.” In this bedroom, decorated by Lara Pujol, the woodwork has been painted this color, standing out against the white walls, and this same tone has been applied to the decorative XL shutters and bedding.

18. A blue wall, ideal for small bedrooms
Decorating with color is always a good idea, and in small bedrooms, a must , because it doesn’t overwhelm the space—especially if you choose bright, room-enhancing tones like this soft sky blue—and it doesn’t take up space, and instead, it takes center stage visually. If you’re hesitant to paint the entire bedroom, do as decorator Pia Capdevila did, who painted just the headboard wall, highlighting it. Dresser, from Homes in Heaven. Table lamp, from Daissie Artisan. Mirror, from Vical.
19. The easy option: play with blue textiles
If painting the walls or woodwork blue isn’t an option for you, playing with textiles can be. A mix of cushions and plaids , like the one in this bedroom designed by decorator Marta Tobella, makes the blue color dominate the room. Even more so if you use it on a white base. This way, they stand out even more. Using different shades of blue will add richness to the room.Headboard, fan and ladder, in Sacum.
20. Too cold? Add yellow
If blue is too cool for you, you can balance it out with touches of yellow in a cushion or plaid. Especially for the spring-summer season, it’s a perfect combination. Mirrored headboard, from Cottage Little House. Desk and chair, from La Maison.
21. Paint the headboard wall blue
You don’t need to paint all the walls blue: just the headboard is a good solution. Why? Because it’s the most visible. When you enter a room, your gaze travels directly to the headboard . If the wall is blue, that color will dominate the entire room. Bedroom designed by Natalia Zubizarreta.Headboard, by Las Marystrastos. Pouf, by Dernier.
22. Cabinets in blue, but light
Blue can cover any room in your bedroom. Even wardrobes. Why not? Of course, since wardrobes are a large, bold piece, it’s best to choose a soft blue that won’t overpower you but still conveys the serenity you’re looking for.Lacquered MDF wardrobes designed by Laura Masiques.
23. Natural and blue fabrics… now sleep soundly!
If white is your favorite color for walls and furniture, textiles are the ones that will complement it. Choose blue, but especially natural linen or cotton. The more natural the fabrics, the more your skin will appreciate it and the better your rest will be. This bedroom is a project by Miguel Gomila of Aquitania.Four-poster bed with carpet, in Aquitaine.
24. A headboard in blue
Here, blue also dominates, but without being overwhelming. The headboard has been painted, like the woodwork, in an indigo blue, giving it a scratched finish to give it an aged look. And to top it off, wallpaper is also in blue and white. Blue is present, but white provides a counterpoint, filling the room with light.Furniture by Knowhaus. Paper by La Maison.
25. Blue and wood, a mix that works
The “coldness” of the blue is offset in this bedroom by woodwork and a large wooden four-poster bed. In fact, this combination works wonderfully in this bedroom, because the blue refreshes and lightens the whole, giving it a cozy yet serene look. Bed, at Art & Co.
26. Blue, in bed. Blue, on the couch
Dressing the main pieces in your bedroom in blue is a sure thing. Your eyes will be drawn to them, and you’ll immediately feel calm. If the blue is as light and soft as this, the feeling of calm is even greater. Headboard, designed by Gaby Conde. Cushions, curtains, and bedspread, by De Pepa’s. Sconce, by La Fontaine.

Table lamp, from Hanbel.
28. Restore in blue

If you also give them a blue patina, you’ll be increasing their positive influence. Doors recovered from Malana’s and restored by Neus, from Crea, Decora, Recicla.

The perfect combination. Pinewood bench by Azul Tierra. Gems armchair upholstered in Les Créations de La Maison fabric.
30. Even the smallest in blue
Maximum serenity and freshness. You’ll achieve this if everything in your bedroom is blue. Besides bedding, a paint color, or wallpaper, there are a thousand details you can add that won’t cost you much and yet will be working to improve your rest. Try decorating with them: small paintings, rugs, glasses and jugs, pictures…
31. Accessories that are and inspire blue
The bedding, rug, and lamps splash the room with touches of blue, but there’s one piece that, while not a blue, inspires us: the painting. A panoramic view of grayish boats transports us to the sea, producing immediate serenity. A very clever trick to try. This bedroom is a project by decorator Jeanette Trensig.
