Looking for bedroom color ideas? You can’t go far wrong with these great purple bedroom ideas.
We are lovers of color through and through, but there is no hue that catches our imaginations quite like purple, truth be told. It can be elegant and sleek, or stately and royal, or subdued and dreamy, but, due to the soothing and indulgent feeling it seems to exude, it is ideal for a bedroom in any case.
But it can be a bit of a daunting design process to go all-in on purple. Since it’s not a color that you see pop up as much in the house as, say, its versatile and perennially beloved blue cousin, adopting purple may not feel as intuitive. But the payoff is enormous for those who brave the risk. Not only will your room be a complete show-stopper, but some of the most relaxing sleep in recent memory is sure to inspire it. Anything also serves as a reminder of this luxurious color to indulge in a little extra self-care…and that’s something we could all use right now.
Before you take the purple plunge, in need of some inspo? Read on… these purple bedroom ideas will persuade you that it’s easier to go purple than you ever expected, whether maximalist, minimalist or somewhere in between.
Beautiful Purple Bedroom Ideas
1
Add Luxurious Textiles
To achieve a glam look, this purple bedroom idea proves that you don’t have to go maximalist. The groundwork for the room was a whisper-light purple throw and some calming artwork, while a few deep purple velvet pillows up the ante. Yet the pair of glossy black side tables is our favorite detail. The dramatic dark tone and the antique style of the pieces make it clear that, without going overboard, this is a luxury room.

Mix Dark With Light
Just do a double-take. Two shades of purple make use of this feminine room (photographed in the mirror) to achieve the perfect combination of drama and daily effortlessness. By an infusion of deep Amethyst, a barely-there lavender hue gets kicked up a notch (or three) to add some luxurious notes to this enduringly chic room.

Try Out New Classical
Gray and purple are the favorite pairing—not only are the two soft shades easy to mix and match, but they just lend effortlessly elevated air to any room. This purple bedroom idea is a master lesson on how to get a look: smooth gray velvet upholstery mingles with crisp lilac sheets, while brass and gold highlights light up. The final touches, huh? Some art school-cool abstract art and neoclassical sculpture finish the look.

Gain Inspiration From Everywhere
An incredible inspiration to a purple room? It’s your wine cabinet. This distinct boho, understated room combines the colors of burgundy, rosé, and even an orange wine-like hue to a great effect. And best of all, because the pop of color is limited to the head of the bed, it’s easy to change your pillows when you get a new color scheme.

Paint Your Ceiling
Contrast ceilings are one of our favorite ways to infuse a little of the unexpected into space, and that’s just what this purple bedroom idea does. If your heart is set to take out the paint rollers and go purple, but you’re not sure you’re taking this bold wall-to-wall hue, the ceiling can be a cool place to experiment.

But Practice Balance
Since your bedroom is all about rest and relaxation, there needs to be a good balance with every shade of purple that you want. “Don’t let the purple be too soft and sugary”, Hampton advises. “Let it be either feminine and pretty or bold and luxurious. And look out for too much electricity in the tones.”

Embrace Custom Shades
Have you had a hard time finding the same purple shade for your bedroom? Go back to tradition. This room in a bungalow is packed with the light on the Adriatic coast and has a wall decorated to match the bedclothes of a West-African kente.

Consider Complimentary Colors
The beauty of purple lies in its versatility—it blends well with a multitude of unexpected colors. Hampton selected a rug and an antique textile for the bed in the shades of orange and red for her own bedroom. She also applied shades of peachy pink to the fabric.

Think Accessories
Another secret to decorating with purple is to consider your tolerance for bright colors and to know your aesthetics. Given that I’ve gone all the way to my own flat, I feel relaxed putting purple everywhere, Hampton says. It’s all about what hunger you’re going to have in the long run. If you’re afraid of too much, put the purple in through your cell phones: pillows, lampshades, artwork, and accessories.
