If so, you’re not alone.

How come we can walk into a friend’s house and give them all kinds of suggestions when they’re undergoing a home re-do, yet when we tackle our projects, we tend to get stuck?

The answer is obvious; it’s always easier when it’s not our home.

So you’ve painted your bedroom blue and want some new bedding but aren’t sure what colors go with blue walls. You’ll be relieved to know that many colors go with blue walls, and blue décor is relatively easy to work with.

To Determine Bedding that Goes with Blue Walls, Ask Yourself This Question First:

“What kind of mood are you going for in your room’s design?”

1. Soothing, Crisp, Natural, Bright & Airy:

Blue and Green

Depending upon the shade of blue you’ve painted the walls, you can create a crisp feeling by combining blues and greens. Again, the shade of blue you’ve painted on the wall will dictate the best combination of blue and green bedding.

For example, pastel (baby) blue walls work nicely with rich lime green accents, as does aqua blue.

Here are two examples for you:

2. Soft Sweetness or Dramatic Affect

Blue and Purple

Again, the shades of blue and purple that you use will dictate the impression of the overall space. When you see the shades of purple and blue together in action, you get a better sense of the feeling you’re creating.

The bedding sets below show you what that impact is.

The softer shades of purple and blue generate a sweet innocent feel, making it ideal for a younger person’s room. Deeper shades of blue on the wall (a rich slate blue), with a rich purple patterned bedding set, give the room an overall dramatic effect.

All are beautiful: The only difference is the mood they create.

3. A Striking Nautical Feeling or a Casual Fun Feeling

Blue and White

Even if your room doesn’t have a stitch of nautical in it, the combination of dark blue and white gives that impression in home décor.

However, you can change that impression by using softer blue and white bedding with a modern pattern and lighter blue on the walls.

Here are two examples of blue and white bedding in different shades with a dark blue wall and a light blue wall:

4. A Country Vibe or Vintage Country Feeling

Blue and Red

The nice thing about blue and red is that you don’t have to go dark blue and dark red to achieve a country feel. If you dial the shades down a bit, you’ll get that muted country cottage look in your room. Add a few pieces of furniture in the same shade of red that’s in your bedding, and you’ll kick up that country look that much more.

Here are two examples of what your space would look like with blue and red bedding:

5. Opposites Attract Creating Elegance and Formality

Blue and Yellow

Blue and yellow are at opposite ends of the color sphere. Blue is a cool, relaxing shade, while yellow falls into the warm, cheerful category.

Combining these two colors can give you a room that exudes elegance or, in the case of a modern geometric bedding choice, one that offers a touch of class and formality.

For a visual, here’s a sample of both of the above examples for you:

Additional Bedding Sets to Consider – That Would Go With Blue Walls:

In summary, you’re always better to get the bedding first, and if possible, choose a shade of color from the bedding to be the paint color on the wall.

However, if your wall is already painted and you need to find bedding to match, follow the above suggestions to steer you to the right choice.
