Bedrooms are areas of the house that we head to to get some rest and relaxation, as well as to recharge after a long and busy day.
Of course, towards this end, creating the perfect relaxing vibe is essential to creating the perfect bedroom.
But aside from the furniture, like the bed, the cabinets, and the lighting, what else can you really do to help create the perfect vibe for your bedroom space? The right color of wall paint of course!
Choosing the right color for your walls is perfect for not only creating the right energy but also for expressing your sense of style and personality.
You’re probably here because you want to paint your walls a perfect shade of blue, but you just can’t pick which shade to go for, right?
Luckily, you’ve come to the right place. Today, we are dedicating ourselves to exploring 28 of the very best blue paint colors that you can choose from to decorate your bedroom! Join us down below to get started now!
1. Iceberg
We figured we’d start off with a shade of blue that is incredibly light and airy, which can help to give a room a much greater sense of space, allowing it to feel much more open and welcoming.
Iceberg is a great color to go for if you are hesitant about the idea of painting your walls an intense blue color, as it retains a certain neutrality, making it perfect for matching with other colors.
2. Upward
Upward blue is a shade of blue created by Sherwin Williams, and it features a little more intensity compared to the iceberg variation of blue.
This variation of blue is slightly darker and more intense, which gives it incredible depth and richness. This makes it great for creating a cool and relaxing space, especially if you live somewhere with a particularly warm climate!
3. Manor Blue
If you want to create a slightly moodier bedroom space, then manor blue could be the shade for you. Manor blue almost has the look of overcast skies, which can create a really relaxing and soothing atmosphere to soak in.
We love the way this color looks on the walls, and it can easily be paired with some darker blue accented elements like furniture and bedspreads, as the manor blue allows the more intense blue colors to pop!
Naval was a blue paint color that really took the world by storm around 2020, and looking at it, it’s not at all difficult to see why (see also “The Very Best Cream Paint Colors To Use Around The House Today“).
The rich depth of this color really pulls you in, and holds you in a soothing grip. We love the way that the color looks wholly reminiscent of the night sky, which further makes it perfect for coloring a bedroom because it can help to soothe you into a deep slumber.
The color is great for painting the majority of your bedroom space, or just for coloring small accents of the room, such as furniture!

At the same time, the richness of its color also helps to give it a very relaxing and soothing vibe, perfect for getting a good night’s rest!
6. Dark Night
This immense color by Sherwin Williams was an instant favorite of ours the second we laid our eyes upon it.
This amazing color has a rich blue look but also has some slight green tones to it, which gives it a very earthly tone that can make a room feel more rich and lived-in.
This is a great color to pair with other dark blue colors, as well as some small plants, to further draw out those earthly tones.
7. Salty Dog
Salty dog is another awesome blue color made famous by Sherwing Williams, who put the color to great use in bedrooms to create the perfect bedroom space.
This particular rich and dark shade of blue pairs so incredibly well with white, so you can make it look even greater by including some elements like white bedsheets and white doors.
This is a perfect color reminiscent of ocean waters!

Deep royal is a color from Benjamin Moore that has an incredibly gray look to it, which can make it a great neutral color to add all across your walls to then pair with all kinds of elements.

We love the rich full-bodied look of this paint.

This amazing blue paint from Benjamin Moore actually quite closely straddles the line between gray and blue making it another perfect option for anyone looking to try out a blue color on their wall without having to commit to anything too intense and rich.
Regardless, stormy sky is a perfect blue to go for, because its moody look can be great for creating a slightly moody space, and the stormy look is perfect for lulling the mind into a relaxing space.
10. Newburg Green

The green undertones help to give this paint a very natural look that is rather earthly, and almost has the look of a shining jewel.
We like this particular color because it is rather muted and subtle, which helps to make it easy to pair with all kinds of different colors like white and gray.
11. Van Deusen Blue
This color is a little closer to navy blue, and Benjamin Moore has managed to create a color that looks oh-so natural when used to color a room.
We love the sheer depth of this color and the way that it seemed to draw the eye. Its darkness really helped to make all of the lighter elements of the room pop that much more.
Try accenting this color with some white elements like white curtains, as the contrast between light and dark is simply stunning.
Ralph Lauren obviously needs no introduction, and its iconic club navy color is found across much of its branding.
If you ever find yourself totally drawn by this rich and iconic blue color, then you will get a lot out of painting your walls with it.
We love the way that this rich and intense color seemed to bring out the best of every other color that accompanied it! The white of some bed sheets or the vibrant color of some flowers were made all the better!

If you really want some earthly tones to brighten up your bedroom, then this can be a great color for you to opt for.

We love the way that the intense charcoal look helped to make a bedroom look more earthen and intense.
This is a great color to pair with smaller elements of light, as it is quite a dark shade of blue that can prove very intense.
Hale navy is a blue color that is a little closer to a more standard navy blue color, but it has just a little bit of gray mixed in to give it a slightly more ashen and rich intensity.
We really love the way it seems to give a room a sense of sophistication and maturity, and the way that it makes a space seem a little older and more historic.
If you want to create a great bedroom that is also a great space for showcasing things such as books, then this can be a great way to do just that (see also “How To Create A Minimalist Boho Bedroom“)!
Old navy is another blue color that is great to use for creating a sense of age and history to a given space, making it seem more historic than it is.
The reason for this is that the old navy is simply a very popular blue color that has been used for numerous generations.
