Finishing options

The blue color on the floor and ceiling is guaranteed to make the room bright and distinctive. It can combine the walls and ceiling or set off the top of the bedroom. A room of irregular shape, painted only partially, looks especially impressive: for example, an attic with a sloping roof.

As for the floor, the most popular finish for a colored bedroom is dark wood laminate or parquet, which lends solidity and solidity to the setting. The blue floor is less common, as it looks very eccentric. Carpet is usually used to create it.

Selection of furniture and textiles

In modern interiors, the arrangement of white furniture on a blue background remains advantageous, which not only looks stylish, but also lightens the atmosphere. A bedroom with a brown set creates the effect of a cozy and habitable space. Often these three shades are successfully combined in a nautical style.

An excellent solution would be to use blue furniture on an identical background: a wardrobe painted in the same color as the walls gives an interesting effect, as if dissolving into the setting. The opposite result is obtained by contrasting furniture: for example, a red and blue combination of an armchair or decor against the background of a cornflower blue wall.

If blue is an accent in the bedroom, pillows and curtains of the same color will come in handy here. Bedspreads with a geometric pattern look great, as well as colored elements: yellow or orange sofa upholstery, dusty pink or silver pillows.

Interior styles

In a laconic Scandinavian interior, you can most often see an indigo color - and only on an accent wall. It blends beautifully with white furnishings and wooden elements.

Blue is not typical for the loft direction, but the stunning combination of rich cornflower blue details and orange brick makes the atmosphere of a rough industrial style bright and memorable.

A bedroom in a summer Mediterranean style is a combination of wood, all kinds of patterns and shades of the seascape. The walls, finished with blue plaster, become the basis for the recreation of the holiday mood.

A high-tech sleeping room is the complete opposite of the previous approach. High-tech devices, metal elements and glass support this trend, and the blue tint is achieved due to the abundance of built-in backlighting.

In the style of minimalism, dark colors are rarely used, so a bedroom in muted blue colors looks unusual, but does not lose its laconicism. The palette is monotonous here, but this does not make the monochrome room any less attractive.
