What Color to Paint Your Bedroom, According to Color Psychology — Depending on If You Want a Calm or Uplifting Space

A bedroom with sloped ceilings, color-drenched in a soft shade of pink. A neutral carpet, a low-profile bed with neutral bedding, a wooden desk and chair, and a burl wood nightstand.

The best color schemes don't just look good; they set the right mood in a room, whether that be energizing, restful, or uplifting. In bedrooms, arguably one of the most important rooms to master the right mood, color psychology can guide you to the best bedroom color, depending on how you want it to feel.

While bedrooms are often spaces we want to feel restorative and calm, that's not the only option. Warmer colors can be more energizing, but used thoughtfully, they can create a cocooning space that brings more interest to sleep spaces.
