Painting bedroom walls using one color may seem a bit boring and outdated for most people. That’s why combining two different colors for painting the bedroom walls gaining a lot of popularity in recent years.
However, combining two different hues together isn’t an easy task. We heard a lot of homeowners disappointed with their color choices, and instead of having a wonderful and gorgeous bedroom, they had weird and awkward ones.
We want to help you avoid these disasters by showing you some proven color combinations that will work nicely when used together to paint any bedroom walls. And here they are :
Best Two-Color Combinations for Bedroom Walls
Ivory and Beige
Beige is one of the most popular colors when it comes to the bedroom wall, and it’s quite obvious as beige is one versatile neutral shade that can easily blend with literally any color. That’s why you can easily combine beige with other colors to create two color wall paint combinations for your bedroom.
However, based on our experiences, the best shade that can further enhance the looks of the beige wall is any off-white shade such as ivory or a white dove, as they will look perfectly flawless alongside beige.
Navy and Light Gray
For you who need a pair of colors for your modern bedroom wall, then we highly recommend this navy and light gray combination.
The strong and intense navy will boost the elegance of your bedroom, while the light gray does its job perfectly to maintain a well-balanced visual appearance but still keeping the elegance flows throughout the entire bedroom walls.
Mint Green and Pink
Fresh and beautiful, these are the main vibe that is created when combining mint green and pink for any bedroom walls. The natural looks of the mint will spread a lot of freshness and relaxing ambiance, while the pretty pink wall brightens up the space with its beauty.
Furthermore, incorporating this combination for your bedroom walls will create a stunning aesthetic and eye-pleasing visuals, making you become addicted to posting and sharing your bedroom photos on your Instagram.
Sage and Light Gray
Sage is a beautiful shade that gained a lot of popularity in recent years, and undoubtedly, using this color alone to paint any bedroom walls can bring a huge impact. However, you can go even further by combining sage with some light, neutral tones like light gray.
By combining them together, the sage wall will look much better as it will be highlighted and emphasized by the light gray, and at the same time, the light gray wall will provide a bit of elegance that mixes beautifully with the fresh and natural ambiance of the sage.
Black and White
The black and white pair surely doesn’t need a lot of explanations. This timeless combination will create a stunning depth with a lot of contrast between them, resulting in a simple yet trendy visual for your bedroom.
However, the main problem that often occurs when using this combination for bedroom walls is that they may lack some warmth, thus, you need to incorporate a lot of neutral furniture or decoration items inside your bedroom to achieve a more balanced ambiance.
White and Silvery Gray
If black sounds too much for you, then you can try to combine the white walls with much lighter choices using a variety of gray shades. Literally, any shade of gray can works perfectly alongside white.
However, one of our favorite choices is this silvery gray, as it can truly change the ambiance of any bedroom by introducing a strong amount of elegance while still keeping the entire look clean and simple.
Dark Olive and Pale Yellow
This is another combination that incorporates green shades. The dark olive had been known for its luxurious and glam looks, and can easily lift up the appearance of any bedroom. But the problem with dark olive is that it may look too serious and boring, thus, it’s a good idea to incorporate it with some playful wall colors, such as pale yellow.
The reason why we opt for pale yellow is that it had a much softer and more subtle appearance compared to any typical yellow, thus the pale yellow won’t look overly vibrant. And since olive had a bit of yellow tint, it will blend quite easily with the pale yellow, creating a beautiful harmony.
Gray and Beige
Here is another great two-color wall combination that incorporates beige. In this scheme, we blend the gorgeous beige wall with gray. This pair will create a well-balanced ambiance, as the warmth of the beige will be neutralized by the cool-toned gray, making a calming yet comfy bedroom.
Most gray shades can work well with beige, but we highly recommend you to go with any light to medium-toned gray.
Gray and Canary Yellow
Canary yellow is a beautiful shade that had a perfectly balanced look, as it’s not too strong as some vibrant yellow shades, but still provides plenty of brightness to bring happiness and joyful ambiance to any bedroom. However, using this color alone to paint the entire walls may not be a good idea.
Instead, you can combine it with some neutral option to calm it down a bit, and for this, light gray can be the best choice. The light gray wall will help neutralize and tone down a bit the yellow, making it more eye-pleasing and avoid it from overwhelming the entire bedroom.
Terracotta and Ivory
A unique shade like terracotta surely will work much better as an accent, thus you need to combine it with other more neutral shades. After trying many different shades, we found out that ivory is the best color that can compliment terracotta inside any bedroom with two color walls.
Ivory and terracotta will share a similar warmth that goes together nicely to make any room feel welcoming and inviting, while at the same time both colors create a significant amount of contrast that helped makes the terracotta stand out beautifully.
White and Taupe
This is another classic combination that never goes wrong, especially for you who want to create a bohemian, classic, or vintage-style bedroom.
The taupe and white pair will combine the soft and warm feels with some sleek and crisp looks to create a beautiful ambiance throughout the bedroom.
Brown and White
Combining strong and intense shades like brown with white is the best way to achieve bold looks in a much lighter and brighter ambiance.
This way, you can still get the awesome brown charm and drama, while the white part of the walls helps creates sleek and crisp contrast.
Sky Blue and White
Most homeowners may think that sky blue is only suited for any nursery bedroom. The truth is that if it is placed inside the right palette, sky blue can also work really well in a more mature decorating style.
The image above is a great example, where the sky blue fit in nicely while surrounded by white elements, making it looks more modern with a hint of elegance.
The sky blue and white wall combination can also become a perfect option if you are looking for a combination that provides plenty of soft and relaxing ambiance to your bedroom.
Lavender and Smoke Gray
This lavender and smoke gray is another great choice to create a soothing and relaxing bedroom. The unique lavender-painted wall not only brings a lot of freshness and natural beauty but also comes with an aesthetically pleasing look.
Additionally, the smoke gray helps balance the lavender chic looks with a bit of elegance, creating a more gender-neutral appearance.
Purple and Pale Green
Alternatively, you can try to combine the purple shade with pale green. Even though both colors contrast each other significantly, they still look beautiful together, bringing a wonderful natural ambiance to your home.
Emerald and Gray
Emerald is one of few shades of green that can works really well inside modern contemporary styles. Thus, if these are the style that you want to achieve for your bedroom, and at the same time you want to incorporate some green shades into your color scheme, then this is the best choice for you.
And since emerald offers some elegant vibe, we love to combine it with another wall color that comes with similar vibes, such as gray.
Pink and Gray
Gray and pink had very contradictive characters. Pink wall surely comes with its sweet and beautiful charm, while on the other side, the gray brings elegance and stylish appeal.
But this can be a benefit when it comes to two tone wall color combinations, as together they will create a rich and well-balanced atmosphere.
Sapphire Blue and Gray Blue
This monochromatic blue scheme will be an ideal choice for a lot of blue fans. Although both colors share the same blue hue, they come with very different tone and vibes.
The sapphire blue striking plenty of vibrant and intense blue appearance, while the gray-blue comes in a softer and neutral look that works well to help embrace and highlight the sapphire blue to become the main focal point for the bedroom.
Coral and Muted Blue
Although coral is a trending color and gaining a lot of popularity in recent years, using this color as wall paint is a tricky job, and that’s why it not gaining a lot of traction in the interior design world. The main problem with coral is that it is really hard to blend it with other colors, except the neutral tones such as white and gray.
However, based on our experience, there is one other shade that can still bring an amazing result when paired with coral, and it is muted blue. The muted blue does its job nicely to create a bit of contrast that helped the coral to stand out, while at the same time creating a well-balanced ambiance thanks to its cool tone and neutrality.
Maroon and Peach
Intense glam meet softness, this is the result that you will get when combining maroon with a peach for your bedroom walls. The maroon-painted wall will create a strong statement to your space, while the peach provides enough balance to avoid the maroon overly dominating the entire bedroom.
Thus, if you need a color combination that can help bring a lot of positive energy and passion, then this is surely the best option for you.
