The 10 Best Colors for Small Bedrooms, According to Color Experts and Interior Designers

A bedroom painted deep midnight blue with double bed, patterned fabric bedhead and base, and rich jewel coloured bedding and furniture.

The right colors can completely transform a small bedroom, whether you're looking to brighten yours up, make it feel larger and airier, or turn it into a cozy, calming space.

While no bedroom color ideas can physically expand your square footage, the right shade can influence how light is reflected, and create the illusion of depth. Of course, white is the color that's best known for its unrivalled space-expanding properties in a small bedroom, but it's not always the warmest or most welcoming. Bright colors with plenty of white in them, such as yellow, can make a tiny bedroom feel open and airy, while darker hues, brown, caramel, even dark red, can add richness and intimacy, helping smaller bedrooms feel more inviting.
