White Color Combinations

If your walls are already white, you're in luck! Any color will pair well with white because it's the most neutral. When it comes to design, this means you can do no wrong. Pick your favorite statement color and go for it!

1. Classic Navy & White

We sometimes add affiliate links and content that was curated and created by our team with the help of advanced ai tools to help showcase the best design styles.

The easiest way to add life to your bedroom is by painting one wall a different color. Since the bed is usually the focal point, the wall that the headboard rests against will generally make the best accent wall. An accent color can add depth and complexity to an otherwise basic bedroom.

2. Peaches & Cream

Take your inspiration from summer sweet fruits and wash a wall in apricot orange. A milky white ceiling, trim, and bedspread give this shade a creamy appearance. Sleeping in this bedroom may even give you tangerine dreams!

3. Va Va Boom

Show how fearless you are with a daring teal accent wall! White will come off clean and crisp against this bold color choice while gold accents will enhance deep teal.

4. Lovely Lavender

Of course, a blue-based lavender is always a great color choice for a bedroom because it's a naturally calming shade. Paired with soft white and floral decor, the end result is fresh and feminine.

5. Punchy Purple

If most of your bedroom decor is stark white, consider adding a punchy pop of purple like this deep fuchsia shade. A matching wall decal makes this look truly stunning.

Grey Color Combinations

Just like white, grey is a great neutral option that gives you the freedom to pair it with practically any other shade. When choosing a complementary color, just be sure to stay in the same range of warm or cool tones.

6. Tranquil Sage & Misty Grey

A soothing shade of green is always a great color choice for a bedroom accent wall. Bring the outside in by adding plants that enhance green's calming effect. Paired with a hazy grey, this color combo conjures up images of slow-rolling clouds and softly filtered sunlight.

A bubble chandelier and framed black and white photo completes the look of effortless elegance. Meanwhile, this puffy bedspread captures the feel of lying in the grass and looking up at the sky on a lazy, summer afternoon.

7. Chic and Sweet

Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too . . . in bed? This muted millennial pink accent wall comes off sweet and sophisticated next to the rose-tinted, ultra-light grey walls. A bohemian chic tapestry and eclectic bedside lamps lend a casually cool touch to an already warm and inviting space.

8. Royal Transformation

All hail the queen of accent walls! Give your bedroom the royal treatment it deserves. This bold shade of purple is as regal as it is relaxing. Wake up ready to rule the world with this combination of purple and pewter grey walls. A paper lantern floor lamp adds a touch of whimsy while ruched pillows lend an "heir" of sophistication. Don't forget to add oversized initials for the perfect larger-than-life touch!

9. Strike a Pose

Who says your accent wall can't start in the middle of one? Use painter's tape to achieve this dual effect. A mauve color palette complements this navy and grey perfectly.

10. Just Hangin' Out

Maybe color isn't really your thing. You might prefer to keep things simple. You can still pull a great look together with charcoal and light grey walls.

26. Effortless

Painting a bedroom two different colors doesn't have to be hard. Bold colors are great when you want to make a statement, but what about when you just want to kick off your shoes and curl into bed?

This bedroom is truly a work of art!

Pastel Combinations

Nothing says "spring" quite like a pastel color combination. Since pastels are naturally pale, you want to avoid combining them with vibrant shades. Pair them with neutral greys or whites, or other pastels. No matter what color you choose, a pastel is sure to refresh and impress.

31. Cloudlike

Gazing at this powdery blue and misty grey before drifting off is sure to set you up for carefree dreams.
