How To Paint and Decorate A Bedroom

A pleasant aesthetic in your bedroom will help you wind down at night and start your mornings on a positive note. Decorative elements, such as paint and window treatments, are essential; Red Star Paint & Decorating Center can help you choose the best ones for your bedroom.

Update Your Bedroom Window Treatments

A dark, quiet bedroom is the best sleeping environment; the right window treatments can help create it. Duette® Cellular Shades with LightLock® block nearly 100% of unwanted light and absorb sound while providing unmatched insulation. Cellular shades are available in over 150 colors to complement any décor, and their pleated surface adds textural appeal to your bedroom. Consider the top-down/bottom-up design to enjoy sunlight and privacy or the Duolite® feature that provides a sheer shade and opaque liner on a single headrail.

Parkland® Wood Blinds bring warmth and character to your bedroom windows, and their adjustable slats deliver unrivaled light control. A stain finish is a great way to complement wood trim and furniture; solid paint colors can enhance the room’s color palette or create contrast. For the most blackout capability, consider layering drapes over your wood blinds.

Try These Benjamin Moore Bedroom Colors

Lively, vibrant colors have their place, but it’s not in the bedroom. To create a serene, tranquil atmosphere, we suggest a palette that features soft, earthy hues and accent colors that add a pop of color without being too loud for the space. Sticking with a neutral color scheme lets you change your bedding and seasonal accents without worries about them clashing with the paint.

Benjamin Moore Pashmina AF-100

A balanced neutral that pairs well with the fresh tones of Benjamin Moore Deep in Thought AF-30 and the blue-gray tones of Benjamin Moore Providence Blue 1636. Choosing this color and another one can help you create a more restful and relaxed atmosphere in your bedroom. You can also pair it with a bright color to create a more exciting bedroom.

Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray HC-168

Chelsea Gray is a distinguished gray with a touch of brown that looks exceptional with several shades, including Benjamin Moore Lemon Chiffon OC-109, a fresh white with creamy yellow undertones. You can also pair Chelsea Gray with Benjamin Moore Angelica AF-665, a pale gray with hints of lavender, or Benjamin Moore Sanctuary AF-620, a soft purple that is a unique alternative to gray.

Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois OC-13

This warm white is an incredibly versatile bedroom choice. Use Soft Chamois with Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage HC-114, an aloe hue with a touch of gray, to give the room a gentle, refreshing ambiance. You can also pair it with Benjamin Moore Mink 2112-10, a complex blend of black and brown, to ground the space and add depth.

Complete Your Bedroom Interior Design with Furniture

The core components of bedroom furniture are the bed, nightstands, and dressers. We suggest finding a place for your bed first because it will be the room’s focal point. If you have space above the bed, consider adding a headboard for a refined look. When space allows, we recommend placing a storage bench at the foot of the bed and an accent chair near the window for daytime reading.
