30 Best Bedroom Paint Colors That Will Leave You Feeling Inspired

Bedrooms are a place for rest and repose, but you also spend time in there relaxing, reading, and enjoying the beginning and end of each day. To that end, why not create a bedroom that is a sanctuary for you? Vivid colors and unique hues are sure to inspire your creativity when it comes to adding in all of those final decorating touches. 

While Sleep.com says a cozy bedroom comes from the right lighting and a feeling of safety, comfort is essential as well. Comfort is about more than just the right sheets, pillows, and blankets, too. You may find yours in a particular piece of art, by having plants in your room, or by looking at certain paint colors. Blues and greens are calming and creative-inspiring colors, but there are other paint colors that evoke relaxation and happiness, comfort and safety, and peacefulness, too. Go with your favorite colors, or pick something completely different — each of these bedrooms is sure to inspire you when you redo your own!
