Your bedroom should be more than just a place to sleep—it should be a space that restores your mind, supports your mood, and reflects your personal style. One of the most powerful and affordable ways to transform your bedroom is through color.
The paint color you choose can dramatically affect how you feel in your space. In fact, numerous studies have shown that color impacts sleep quality, energy levels, and even anxiety. So, whether you’re planning a full bedroom remodel or simply refreshing the walls, selecting the right palette is a meaningful decision.
At Agape Home Services, we’ve helped homeowners across North Texas—from McKinney to Dallas to Frisco—craft beautiful, calming, and energizing bedrooms. Below, we’ll walk you through the best bedroom paint colors based on how you want your space to feel.
Best Bedroom Paint Colors for Anxiety
The color of a bedroom can significantly affect your mental health and well-being. We highly recommend choosing cooler tones of purple and blues for those who struggle with anxiety, as these represent peace, tranquillity, and serenity in most cultures.
Lavender and Lilac
Lilac and lavender are subtle shades of purple that exude calmness and serenity. When decorating a bedroom with lilac or lavender bedroom walls, we recommend adding elements of gold and ivory throughout the bedroom.
Style Tip: Complement lavender walls with gold or brass accents, soft ivory bedding, and light natural wood furniture for a warm yet tranquil space.
Ocean Blue
For most of us, the ocean represents calmness and serenity, there’s something quite magical about this color, and often we find it works really well for those looking to add a bit of freshness to a bedroom. The ocean itself is rich in color. Here you’ll find all shades of blue, including a light teal and sapphire. To complement your bedroom walls’ sea-blue colors, we recommend using pristine ivory sheets on your bed coupled with elements of gold throughout the room.
Style Tip: Pair ocean blue walls with ivory or white linens, natural textures, and accents of gold or sea glass green for a layered, beachy vibe.
The Warm Color Scheme for Bedrooms
A warm-colored bedroom palette radiates confidence, excitement, and energy. The warm color palette often incorporates sunset orange, deep reds, and bright yellows—all of which can work coherently to create a euphoric bedroom.
Deep Earth Tones
Do you struggle to get out of bed in the mornings? If you do, then you’ll find warmer color tones to be a lot more energizing. With subtle undertones of red and orange, yellows are the perfect choice for those who prefer a more stimulating bedroom. Yellow ochre, Indian yellows, and deep orange can be uplifting and joyful, helping you stay positive throughout the day.
Style Tip: Pair warm walls with neutral bedding (like ivory or taupe), layered textures, and soft lighting for a balanced and inviting look.

In 2013 researchers surveyed to understand what are the best bedroom colors for sleep. The survey, consisting of 2000 entries, found that bedrooms with a cooler tone. So, what are some of our best cool colors? The survey put blue, green, and silver on the top of the list as they have a shorter wavelength that can elicit a feeling of calmness and relaxation.

A light shade of blue with undertones of turquoise is the perfect combination of two serene colors. The soft blue can help alleviate anxiety and increase relaxation, while the turquoise-green’s subtle undertones can elicit calmness. This color combination works great in all bedrooms and can help you get that full 8 hours of sleep.

Indigo Blue with Lighter Shades
A deep indigo blue complemented with its lighter shades can be an excellent choice for those who prefer a more spartan interior.
