A bedroom in white is certainly an option, but given the many design ideas available, it can also be a missed opportunity. The color trends for 2024 demonstrate what’s now possible in this living space. They not only give the ambiance a fresh look but also provide the perfect setting for a restful night’s sleep.
A true color avalanche is set to sweep through living spaces next year. From the living room to the kitchen, from walls to cushions, colors will showcase their most vibrant facets–except in the bedroom! While it won’t be any less colorful, the palette will be much more subdued. After all, this is meant to be a place of rest and relaxation. myHOMEBOOK author and interior designer Odett Schumann reveals which color trends in 2024 will ensure the necessary relaxation in the bedroom.
Retro with Red
Typically, red has no place in the bedroom. Too intense, too energizing! All of this strongly contradicts the room’s calming function. However, a matte shade of red, which is not too bright and leans towards natural terracotta, is an exception. This way, the bedroom exudes not only warmth but also subtle retro flair. To avoid a dated look, focus on a single wall or a few elements in the room in red. A chrome mushroom lamp on the nightstand, a striped rug, cream bedding, and olive throw pillows can quickly breathe modern life into the ambiance.
Green Oasis with Sage
It’s well-known that most shades of green have a calming effect. Sage, in particular, stands out as especially soothing. So, bring this color to the bedroom wall. The best part is that gentle sage not only creates a connection to nature but also looks exceptionally elegant. To give the newfound bedroom aesthetic even more character, add a few rustic elements. An old chest made of dark wood, a soft faux fur in front of the bed, a bedspread with a small floral pattern, and a vintage mirror with a silver frame. The variety of materials still radiates plenty of coziness against the sage-colored background.

A Retreat in Neutral Tones
Nature is unlikely to retreat from the bedroom anytime soon, and that’s a good thing. Natural colors and materials serve their purpose in this room more than any other. That’s why a neutral ambiance in sand, greige, olive, light gray, or brown is clearly among the color trends for bedrooms in 2024. No matter the combination, these colors always work well together. The same goes for natural materials: A bed made of solid wood, a rattan headboard, a sisal rug, linen bedding, and a few green plants bring a lot of texture into the room. This makes it appear once more like a peaceful, cozy retreat.
Night Blue for Nighttime Rest
Admittedly, painting a bedroom in night blue requires some courage, but it can be worth it. Not all four walls need to be colored; just the area behind the headboard is enough. This will create the feeling of a limitless night sky above your head. To ensure the velvety dark blue doesn’t appear too gloomy, it’s advisable to counterbalance it with light accents. An untreated birch wood bed frame, cream bedding, and a metallic night lamp already help soften the rich blue tone. Additionally, a tidy, minimalist look is helpful in a darker setting. This way, a powerful color like night blue doesn’t seem threatening.

Pssst Pastel Tones
With this final color trend for bedrooms in 2024, a few tones from the living room make their way in. No wonder, pastel colors are wonderfully neutral, and despite their candy store associations, they always have a harmless room effect. Lilac, sorbet yellow, and blue are simply part of a contemporary decor. Not to forget the new Pantone color of the year: With Peach Fuzz, a delicate tone somewhere between pink and peach joins in, effortlessly turning the bedroom into a heavenly refuge.
