Stumped on how to revamp your toddler, teen, or master bedroom? Get inspired to introduce fresh ideas into a sleepy space.
Shades of Blue
If you choose to decorate your bedroom with one hue, be sure to vary the shades to create a calming vibe. Don't be afraid to mix patterns (florals and stripes live well together) to add visual interest.

Mix It Up
When one bedroom wall gets a bold shot of color, the space instantly feels rich and sophisticated. Soften up the overall vibe by picking fabrics in feminine motifs.
Pretty in Pink
Keeping the walls white in a girl's bedroom will give you more decorating flexibility, which will help keep up with her constantly changing style. Have fun mixing and matching: Combine pink and red and introduce graphic prints and florals.

Sunny Disposition
If you're dreaming of prints all around, the key is to stay within the same color palette. Rather than competing with one another, these two patterns play off their soft and feminine curved lines.

Staying Neutral
Most bedrooms function as living and playing spaces, which means decorating needs to work double-duty. Choose a rich color, like this terra-cotta, and introduce accents in natural tones to keep the room feeling warm and comfortable.

Elegant Florals
A statement-making accent wall in a sophisticated floral print is just enough to spice up a bedroom. Keep everything else simple so nothing distracts from the power of the print.

Play With Texture
If your ultimate goal is “cozy,” then work different textures into the décor. Stick with classic patterns (tartan plaid, checks) and introduce different colors with the bed linens, walls, and accessories.

White Done Right
Make a shared sleeping space feel instantly bigger by starting with a clean white canvas. Add playful and cheery accents when it comes to the bed linens, rug, and pieces of furniture.

Exotic Prints
Dare to decorate with animal prints? Go for it. For a more practical and toned-down style, welcome them in a neutral (and unexpected) shade of green.

High Design
Picking a wallpaper to cover an entire room is a commitment and an investment. Keep the rest of the room grounded by sticking with the same palette and choosing furniture in modern, minimalist styles.

Preppy Palette
If you need to compromise on a decorating style for the master bedroom, consider colors that are neither too masculine nor too feminine. Play with patterns and textures: florals on the walls, velvet on the headboard, and striped accents.

Beige in the bedroom is far from boring. Splashes of periwinkle, sparks of shine (hello, crystal chandelier), and tufted ottomans create a relaxing atmosphere with modern appeal.

Fresh Perspective
A guest bedroom is the perfect spot to experiment with fresh color combinations. Mint green, burgundy, and navy make an inviting and gender-neutral palette.

Pattern Play
A graphic paper for the wall doesn't necessarily demand color. Be less predictable with your decorating style by choosing to add vibrancy with your accents instead.

Mixing Well
If it's more about the ethnic flair, mix prints and pieces that have special meaning in your life. The deep and neutral wall color is helpful in keeping the flurry of color grounded.
