11 Happy Colors to Paint a Bedroom — The Uplifting Shades Interior Designers Recommend to Give Rooms a Dopamine Boost

A bedroom with dark yellow walls, a beige ceiling, and French doors leading onto a balcony. Sheer beige curtains over the doors, and a bed with a black upholstered headboard, cream and black patterned cushions and a throw, and an orange-red blanket. .

While you may find the idea of using the most energizing of shades on bedroom walls daunting — think sunshine yellow and vibrant green — there are slightly more restrained approaches that can uplift a bedroom with equal measure, giving it a positive feel. Think pink, green, and even blue.
