Pretty in Pink
Against cool White Heron OC-57-painted walls, soft pink of First Light 2102-70 — the Benjamin Moore Colour of the Year 2020 — really pops.
The light pink graphic circle adds playful drama to this bedroom, while gold accents lend a luxurious touch.
Another fun way to creatively use paint colour in your bedroom? “Feign”-scoting: a term coined by our colour experts to represent bold colour pairings used on a wall to mimic wainscoting. This two-toned painted look evokes the classic decorative appeal of wainscoting — without the millwork!
Explore Your Bedroom’s Fifth Wall
When it comes to a bedroom paint colour ideas, the ceiling is often overlooked. While classic white paint is a perennial favorite, a pop of ceiling colour enhances a bedroom's character. Here, Concord Ivory HC-12 is an interesting ceiling colour choice paired with Metropolitan AF-690 on the lower panel insets and Barren Plain 2111-60 on the upper panels.
Especially in a small room or a room with a lower ceiling, lighter ceiling paint colours can make a room look larger and taller. We love Summer Shower 2135-60, Beacon Gray 2128-60, and Hollingsworth Green HC-141. Look for a ceiling colour that is a lighter shade or slight variation of your wall colour.
Here, the Smoke 2122-40-painted ceiling gives a sky-like energy to an otherwise off-white room.
