Some colors, such as crisp whites, serene greens, and soft grays, lend themselves naturally to the bedroom.
However, contrary to popular belief, unexpected color choices, such as lavender, can be ideal for creating a serene and inviting bedroom environment.
Lavender is associated with calmness and serenity, making it perfect for a space like the bedroom. Paint is the obvious way to add this hue to your bedroom, but there are plenty of other clever ways as well; you can use your bedspread, curtains, or even hang some lavender art.
Whether you have a spacious or compact bedroom, these 12 lavender schemes will lend your space a sense of peace, coziness, and luxury.
Take a look!
1. Pair Lavender with Gray
Lavender and gray are excellent color combinations for a bedroom that wants to exude a luxurious feel. This bedroom design uses lavender on the walls and gray on the bed and chair for an impactful fusion of these colors.
Wall décor and floral drapes introduce different shapes and patterns that keep the bedroom looking lovely and interesting. Some dahlias on the nightstand and lavender flowers on the console table bring absolute soothe and rejuvenation.
2. Lavender Minimalism
Lavender is a quiet color, but that doesn’t make it simple to decorate bedrooms with. Thankfully, colors like brown and gray pair nicely with lavender every time.
The wooden floor in this design grounds the all-lavender bedroom, creating a serene sleep place full of color. Since lavender is a calming color, it serves as a lovely addition, even as the bedspread. The silver nightstand and wall sconce bring an ultra-royal touch.
3. Add a Gallery Wall
Pairing lavender with white in your bedroom creates a luxury setting that exudes nothing but peace. Lavender is versatile and evokes a feeling of serenity and joy, while white provides the perfect base for it to stand out.
A personalized gallery wall complements a collection of other paintings to make a style statement. Jazzing up a reading nook in lavender fabric is the perfect way to get lost in your latest read.
4. Brighten it Up with White
The lavender on this bedroom’s walls pairs with the white ceiling and accents while complementing the soft pink curtains to bring a feeling of brightness and openness.
The rustic wooden flooring grounds the room and helps achieve a simple modern bedroom theme, while the antique bed creates a minimal setting that screams luxury and excellence.
5. Break It Up
If you want to go all in on lavender, add your bed into the mix and snag a lavender bedspread. The cream and gray floor-to-ceiling curtains introduce an element of color blocking while giving the room some depth and height.
Repeated patterns of gray on the throw pillows and bed skirt combine with the lavender on the bed to create a cohesive color scheme. The hanging ceiling pendants add glam to the design.
6. Make it Soothing
Going for a lavender theme in your bedroom doesn’t mean it has to be lavender from top to bottom. In fact, adding a few bold accent pieces that contrast with the scheme can go a long way.
The green bed adds a traditional twist to this colorful bedroom using its preppy stripes. To amplify the impact of the bed, a green rug and footboard bench fill the space with similar color. A lavender-inspired floral bedspread adds extra charm and a dose of pattern.
7. Lavender-Inspired Mural
Make your lavender bedroom look ultra-mod by incorporating a lavender-themed mural as an accent wall. Wallpaper is always a fun way to play with patterns, whether it’s a big or a small space.
The patterned lavender pillows bridge the gap between the palette and bring more lavender into this bedroom. The blue and white Moroccan duvet and pillows add more interest, making this bedroom feel dreamlike and very soothing.
8. Use an Accent Wall
Bringing a lavender theme into your bedroom doesn’t equate to painting your whole space lavender. Opting for a smaller space like an accent wall will be perfect for monochromatic decor.
The gray headboard contrasts nicely with the lavender wall, while a lavender pillow and blanket diversify the palette with bold hues. A soft pink mini table lamp brings some energizing color and complements the accent wall.
9. Bring Some Glamor
Go glam by incorporating gold accent pieces into your lavender bedroom for an elegant touch. Lavender is associated with mystery, royalty, peace, and magic, making it even more ideal to pair with gold accents.
The golden statue adds some personality and matches the gold-framed pictures on the wall. The majestic bed and rose gold settee complement the lavender walls and drapes, making this space fit for a king or queen.
10. Be Creative
Waking up in this bedroom every morning is guaranteed to put you in an energetic mood without a shadow of a doubt! The dark lavender palette makes the wall pop, with the matching plush curtains contributing even more to the space’s contemporary aesthetic.
The lavender pillow on the Acapulco chair is an excellent way to take the scheme to the rest of the room. The mirrored drawer shows how elegant lavender and silvery accents look when paired together.
11. Play with Subtle Shades
There are many different lavender shades on the market, and some are more soft than others. A subtle, more washed-out shade of lavender is a great way to create a minimalist interior.
The hyper-soft lavender on the wall looks great next to the colorful floral curtains and complements the crisp white chair and dull pink duvet. A floral wallpaper acts as the focal point and matches the drapes.
12. Use More than One Shade
Some hues are ideal in small doses, but since lavender is a very subtle color, you have a leeway of using a lot of it in one space. Different shades of lavender on the walls, bedding, wall art, and drapes make this bedroom feel soft and serene.
Deep colors are well-known for setting off the ‘calm switch’ in our brains, so using them on a simple set of curtains can dramatically transform your monochromatic palette.
