Say hello to the perfect bedroom color palette.
Blue and cream color palettes combine cool and warm tones for the perfect blend of serenity and coziness. That's why this combo is so popular for bedrooms – regardless of the style. Here are 11 blue and cream bedroom ideas to help you get started.
1. Design a Coastal Escape
Blue and cream fit right in with a coastal bedroom as it evokes sand and surf, which is why we had to include this blue and cream bedroom idea. To start, make your bed with cozy cream and white bedding – make sure to leave room for plenty of plush pillows. Use blue wallpaper to create a stunning accent wall. Polish off the look with coastal decor in shades of cream or beige.
Modern bedrooms are known for pared-back designs, minimal clutter, and clean-lined furnishings. With a cream and blue color scheme, you can maintain the uncluttered, neutral feel of your modern bedroom while adding cozy warmth and interest. To start, craft a modern statement wall with blue wallpaper or painted beadboard. You can also hang up blue abstract prints instead. Opt for cream upholstered furnishings and window treatments to help infuse your bedroom with a fresh, modern palette. Accent the bed with blue decorative pillows or throw blankets to add a bit of color while keeping the space relatively neutral.
Add pure white to your blue and cream bedroom color scheme to brighten and visually lift the space. Whether it's pure white bedding, curtains, or throw pillows, you're sure to give the room a boost.
Blue and cream are the perfect combo to introduce to a glam bedroom with lots of luxe finishes, materials, and bold jewel tones because they help anchor the room without taking away from the design scheme. Swap in light blue velvet bedding and cream throw pillows to refine a glam upholstered bed. Pair glam table lamps with cream lampshades for a blend of luxe design and soothing ambient light. Finish the look with a cream or blue rugs – just make sure it has a glam geometric or animal print pattern.
