Blue may be the ultimate bedroom color, thanks to its association with all things serene and calming, two essentials for a good night's sleep. In certain shades, blue is timeless enough to function as a neutral without being boring, while in other tones, it's bold, vibrant, and playful. Basically, it's as versatile as can be, and will complement basically almost every decor scheme when styled well. And that's where we come in with the 17 designer-approved blue bedroom ideas ahead. Whether you want to go all out with a splashy royal blue paint color, or just add in some understated accents, there's something for you. Still need some convincing? Let these rooms inspire you.

1 Mix in Metallic Pieces

Blue and white take center stage in this fresh yet classic bedroom by Eliza Crater. With layers of prints and fun fabrics as well as metallic accents and artwork, this color scheme has so much depth and dimension while still remaining cohesive and tight.

2 Stick to One Shade

A soothing soft blue feels like a breath of fresh air when you walk into the room, as made evident by this Fantastic Frank bedroom. Especially when you use the same color for everything, save artwork and a houseplant. It adds an ethereal, dreamy quality to every space but also offers a ton of versatility, making it particularly well-suited for the bedroom.

3 Soften Things With Gray

To soften the sharpness of a blue and white color scheme, incorporate plenty of pale gray tones, as designer Aamir Khandwala did in this fun, transitional bedroom.

4 Choose a Shapeshifter

Splashes of blue in the artwork and plated canopy topper accentuate the blue undertones in the upholstered headboard and side chair. But if you ever feel like switching to a greener color scheme, you could opt for accents that bring out those tones instead. The lesson? Opt for middle ground (bluish-purplish or greenish-bluish are just two examples), and bonus points for an iridescent fabric, like ikat or velvet, that changes under different lighting circumstances.

5 Keep It Relaxed

Here's proof that blue can live in many different styles of environments and take on a totally new look. Designed by Lee Stanton, this bedroom feels approachable and somewhat bohemian, while still looking polished and. This is thanks to the laidback essence of the patchwork indigo-dyed blue bedding and leather accents contrasted against the framed artwork and polished light fixtures.

6 Don't Forget About Pink

Pink and blue are often pitted against each other, but they play pretty nicely together, as proven by this bedroom by Studio DB. A baby pink sconce and blue upholstered headboard add some sweetness to the green and gray elements throughout.

7 Throw In Some Prints

Blue goes nicely with chocolate brown, especially this cheerful shade evocative of a summer's day—especially in the form of a fun animal print! So here, the combo of the cheetah-print and floral motif fabric in a bedroom by Anna Spiro Design the perfect accessory for bright sky-blue walls.

8 Add a Warm Accent Color

Blue and white is a classic color scheme, but it can feel a bit too crisp for some. To warm up a bright bedroom without painting all the surfaces something other than classic white, cover one wall with wallpaper in a fun print, and another in a warm, neutral color. Corey Damen Jenkins opted for a light sandy beige hue in this bedroom, marrying the cooler blues, whites, and grays with the warmer wood and cream tones as well as the brass accents.

9 Make It Modern

Modern design aficionados and minimalists, don't worry—we didn't forget about you and your love of blue. This graphic and edgy bedroom by Tamsin Johnson keeps things strictly black and white, save for an understated navy throw.

10 Contrast With Marigold

When decorating with deep, bold, and saturated blues, punctuate the space with a marigold accent, as designer Mathew Bees does in this luxe bedroom. The marigold in the trim of the canopy fabric ties the orange lampshade and gilt mirror together so they don't just float alone.

11 Brighten Up With White

Don't want to commit to blue paint or expensive anchor pieces like furniture yet? Just add a baby blue duvet and take note of this bedroom from Fantastic Frank. Hanging ceiling-high curtains around the bed will look even more dramatic and dreamy than a classic canopy and the pale blue comforter in this bedroom adds a touch of playful cheer.

12 Let It Be the Accent

Can't choose bedroom green and blue for your walls? Opt for a fresh mint green-blue option like this shade. Paired with a slightly more pistachio-hued upholstered headboard and a retro-style crocheted coverlet but true-blue pillows make this bedroom designed by J. P. Horton the perfect example to follow.

13 Lay a Neutral Foundation

For a beginner's guide to decorating with blue in the bedroom, keep everything neutral and then opt for soft blue accents, like pillows. Here, Cathy Kincaid painted the bed frame and used decorative pillows for a splash of blue. we love the contrast between the high-end, traditional monogrammed bedding, an ornate mirror, full drapes, and a canopy bed against the unexpectedly cheeky throw pillow.

14 Go All Out

Then again, why not just commit? High-gloss paints are a surefire way to make a bold statement. In this bedroom designed by decorator Alisa Bloom, the rich, liquidy sheen bounces light around a dark room, a spin on that old mirror trick designers love. Bloom used Fine Paints of Europe's Delft Blue 4003 in Hollandlac Brilliant to illuminate the entire bedroom.

15 Set the Room Mood

Before you totally fall in love with a paint color (and, even more importantly, before you paint the walls), consider the mood you want to set. For example, if you want something that feels super warm and calming, you'll want to opt for something a bit more earthy and dark instead of white or a cheerful turquoise. But that doesn't mean you can't still use blue! Here, Heidi Caillier opted for a clay-green color as the base and then added a navy accent with the side table and some blue pops in the sham.

16 Think About Scale

Brian Patrick Flynn turned this teeny-tiny bedroom into a whole wide world with rich wallpaper, dimensional wall decor, and perfectly proportioned furniture. The pops of red add a fun surprise and encourage us to mix primary colors.

17 Hang Abstract Art

Enveloped in gorgeous shades of white and cream punctuated by blue accents, this bedroom designed by Heather Hilliard is pure elegance without trying too hard. Add a mohair throw (or something as fluffy) for a luxe, cozy atmosphere and then spotlight for graphic modern art for an unexpected twist that doesn't actually change the overall feel too drastically.
