In fact, when you hit upon the perfect color palette for the youth bedroom, one that BOTH of you can love, decorating your child’s space can be a fun bonding experience. Here are 15 great ideas for youthful bedroom color schemes to get your wheels spinning.
When decorating a kids bedroom, it’s often a good idea to use the “color scheme” loosely. A charming white youth bedroom, complete with matching twin poster beds, lays a sweet yet airy foundation.
Navy adds depth and stateliness (and, paired with lighter white tones, doesn’t feel heavy at all), while mint provides a fun, fresh zing. A few pops of muted red, such as we see on the mushroom poufs and teepee details, help the bedroom to feel “alive” without being jarring.
The way to make this traditionally dark and somber color combination excel in a youth bedroom is to utilize plenty of patterns and variations of the hues themselves. Keep things interesting with a variety of shapes, sizes, and heights, like this extra-tall headboard against a fabulous patterned wallpaper.
While the color peach might cause a slight knee-jerk reaction of 90s nostalgia, its softness is a lovely way to decorate a youth bedroom. What kid doesn’t feel special and important with a bit of shiny metallic in her life, er, bedroom? While medium-toned wood grounds the space, infusions of soft grey lend it a sleek, modern vibe without being harsh. And bold Kelly green in strategic doses, such as on a great geometric rug, provides plenty of personality “pop.”{found on swohlnerdesign}.
A cotton candy pink wall and plenty of pastels in the bedding and bedroom accessories makes for a very sweet space. Navy adds visual interest and color infusion to an otherwise wood-toned neutral space, and the pairing is quite friendly and functional. For the eclectic-loving girl, this funky, fun space is a perfect refuge…and simultaneous creative laboratory.
With plenty of varied-scale patterns going on, the color scheme is kept in check with loads of natural light and white space.
Grey and yellow are a color pair that works in a variety of spaces, and a kids’ bedroom is no exception. Throw in some peony-toned accents, and you’ve got yourself a modern space that has all the warmth and feeling of a lived-in childhood dream.
A retro color combination that has stood the test of time, this palette is brightly serene. Incorporating the boldest colors in simple chunks helps to make the bedroom feel structured and orderly.
While this may not be considered a “color palette” traditionally, wood and gold tones in an otherwise white space is extremely hot right now.
Modern black sconces add a great linear touch to this textile-rich bedroom, too.
Neutral grey bedding with hints of the accent color (in this case, coral) keeps the space feeling serene yet youthful; and we love the large-print wallpaper to really carry the color palette home in this lovely grow-with-you youth bedroom.
