I waste a lot of time on Pinterest, so embarrassingly much. But piss off, the obsession is worth it when I see trends before they become everywhere. At this exact moment, blue bedroom decor is so big that I, personally, am unable to scroll through Instagram without spotting at least five stunning blue bedrooms that cause me the desire to repaint my entire house.
A small amount of randomly placed pins have become a blue bedroom revolution. But these are not ordinary blue bedrooms, this time we are speaking of seriously trend-forward interior-designs with thousands of saves and repins. These Pinterest blue bedroom trends have been developing over the course of months and, in some cases, they took me by surprise that it made me rethink my perspectives on bedroom interiors.
Sage Blue and Terracotta: The Unexpected Power Couple
This combo is at the moment literally everywhere on Pinterest and you know what? I have been slow to figure out what the fuss is about. Terracotta accents against sage blue walls appeared so odd to me until the time I realized it is done right.
The magic comes in the contrast commonly, that chilly, relaxing sage blue provides such an incredible background to warm terracotta accents such as throw pillows, pottery or even statement wall behind the bed.
I had experimented with this trend in my spare bedroom last month and the difference was amazing. The earthy sophisticated look of this paint is achieved by using sage blue paint combined with terracotta in bedding and ceramics as accessories giving this look a sense of modernity but also aging gracefully.
How to Nail This Trending Combo
- Start with sage blue walls (I used Clare’s “Current Mood”)
- Add terracotta through textiles – pillows, throws, or curtains
- Include natural textures like woven baskets or jute rugs
- Mix in some plants – they bridge the color gap beautifully
| Trending Element | Pinterest Saves |
|---|---|
| Sage blue walls | 50K+ weekly |
| Terracotta accents | 35K+ weekly |
Moody Blue Ceilings: The Fifth Wall Revolution
Have you ever noticed that some bedrooms just seem really interesting, almost even when they are dirty? Probably it is the reason why they painted the ceiling. Dark blue painted ceilings are so dominating Pinterest feeds and they do that comfy cozy enveloping thing that you simply can not get with white ceilings.
The trend is especially effective when navy or midnight blue is incorporated in ceilings and the walls remained brighter. It is quite dramatic but not overwhelming.’
Making Blue Ceilings Work
- Choose a shade darker than your walls
- Use satin or semi-gloss finish to reflect light
- Add plenty of lighting – dark ceilings need extra illumination
- Keep furniture lighter to balance the drama
I wasn’t a fan of this trend until I stayed at a hotel with a navy ceiling and I mean, I couldn’t stop gazing at it. The room was like a plush nest.
Dusty Blue and Brass: The Pinterest Darling
This is a very popular salmon combination that is consistently rising up Pinterest popularity graphs, and no wonder why this combination is so popular. The warm brass with dusty blue combine to produce this most delightfully sophisticated appearance that just looks good as a photograph (which explains the over sticking saves).
The secret is the dusty blue as opposed to the bright powder blue. This less aggressive color is used in its place as a neutral and colorful component that at the same time contributes to the individuation of the room.
Dusty Blue and Brass Essentials
- Dusty blue bedding or walls as your base
- Brass light fixtures – pendant lights or sconces work great
- Warm wood tones to bridge the cool and warm elements
- Cream or ivory accents to keep things feeling light
Two-Tone Blue Walls: The Color-Blocking Trend
Not anymore is color-blocking only about fashion. Two-tone blue walls are blowing up on Pinterest and they are giving this stunning visual interest that is incredibly more sophisticated than the term sounds.
The more common one has light blue upper part and dark blue lower part coupled by white chair rail or trim. The method gives the ceilings the illusion of greater height and much more gravitas.
I’ve spotted versions of the look using navy, and powder blue, or teal, and sage – the trick is finding blues within the same color palette, but with different levels of saturation.
Two-Tone Blue Success Tips
- Use painter’s tape for clean lines (trust me on this one)
- Test your colors together before committing
- Consider the room’s proportions – darker on bottom works best for most spaces
- Add white trim between colors for a polished finish
Blue Floral Wallpaper: The Maximalist Comeback
Don t you remember when everybody was saying that wallpaper was dead? Pinners did not receive such memo. There is a serious revival of blue floral wallpaper, yet these are not your granny-sized adorable florals.
Oversized blue florals with advanced color palette are some of the current trending patterns. Imagine over-sized peonies with navy and white or botanical prints with sage blue and cream.
Modern Blue Floral Wallpaper Trends
- One accent wall rather than the entire room
- Large-scale patterns instead of busy small prints
- Sophisticated color combinations like navy and cream
- Behind the bed placement for maximum impact
FYI this trend is best used when you keep the rest fairly simple. Make the wallpaper the center of the show 🙂
Blue Built-in Storage: The Functional Beauty Trend
Painted built-ins, in amazing blue hues, are a definite Pinterest trend at present. Blue built-ins give bedrooms more serious styling points with built in wardrobes, window seats, and bookcases.
And the top examples tend to employ deep blues, such as navy or forest blue that really pop against white walls and trim. These built-ins are more structure than just shelving.
| Blue Built-in Type | Trending Colors |
|---|---|
| Wardrobes | Navy, Forest Blue |
| Window Seats | Powder, Sage Blue |
Blue Built-in Styling
- Choose quality paint – built-ins get more wear than walls
- Use semi-gloss or satin finish for durability
- Add interior lighting to showcase contents
- Style with coordinating accessories in complementary colors
Denim Blue Bedding: The Casual Chic Movement
On Pinterest, denim blue bedding is in such a moment and it has been bringing this fantastic casual class to bedrooms all over the world. Cool neutral linen sheetsets and duvets in a denim shade also exude this casual, laid-back air which goes with pretty much all interior styles.
The advantage of such a trend is that it is versatile. Denim blue is combined with white walls, cream walls, or even other kinds of blue to make a monochromatic effect.
Styling Denim Blue Bedding
- Mix textures – smooth cotton with chunky knits
- Add white or cream accents to keep things fresh
- Include natural elements like wood or plants
- Layer different blue tones for depth
Blue and Black: The Dramatic Duo
This could be the daringest trend at Pinterest. Beautiful combinations of blue and black bedrooms make the room just incredibly dramatic, sophisticated, and photograph like a dream.
The navy blue and black accented versions are most successful, instead of attempting to have lighter blues work with black. Just imagine navy blue walls trimmed in black or blue walls with black furniture.
Making Blue and Black Work
- Use navy rather than lighter blues for better contrast
- Add warm metallic accents to prevent coldness
- Include plenty of lighting – both colors absorb light
- Balance with white or cream elements to avoid overwhelming the space
Vintage Blue Tiles: The Retro Revival
We are seeing a massive comeback of blue tiles in bedrooms especially vintage- inspired subway tiles, or for a bold statement : Geometric patterns in soft & beautiful shades of Blue. Lots of Pinterest users are incorporating them in reading nooks or as a accent wall behind a bed.
It is a trend that offers texture and a pattern without commiting to wallpaper and this awesome old fashioned appeal that is both nostalgic and modern at the same time.
Blue Tile Trending Applications
- Reading nook backsplashes behind built-in seating
- Accent walls with vintage subway tile patterns
- Fireplace surrounds in geometric blue tiles
- Bathroom en-suite connections that flow into the bedroom
Ombre Blue Walls: The Gradient Gorgeous Trend
Ombre walls are a big trend this year on Pinterest and the blue ombre effect makes this dreamy entrance into the artistic world achievable due to the ease of the process.
The method would normally begin with white or airy blue on the top and go down to navy or midnight blue on the bottom. The impact is spectacular and produces spectacular view heights.
Ombre Blue Technique Tips
- Practice your blending technique on a test board first
- Work in small sections while paint is still wet
- Use a sea sponge for the most natural blending
- Take your time – rushing creates obvious lines
Blue Chinoiserie: The Elegant Pattern Play
The blue and white chinoiserie prints are everywhere on Pinterest at present. These elaborate bedrooms have Asian designs which create unbelievable beauty and eye appeal.
The most popular items at the moment are chinoiserie wallpapers, bedding, and decorative accents that take this classic design into contemporary bedroom style.
Chinoiserie Styling Success
- Choose one major chinoiserie element as your focal point
- Keep other patterns minimal to avoid visual chaos
- Add solid blue accessories to tie the look together
- Include natural elements like plants or wood tones
Blue Bedroom Lighting Trends
Certain combinations of blue bedroom lighting are what Pinterest is obsessing with at the moment. Blue bedrooms and crystals chandeliers combined with brass pendant lights are attracting enormous traffic.
The most significant one is the use of warm-toned lights that do not clash with blue but enhance the latter instead. Blue bedrooms appeared to feel cool when lighted with cool white LEDs but warm in case of warm light.
Trending Blue Bedroom Lighting
- Brass or gold metal finishes for warm contrast
- Multiple light sources layered throughout the room
- Warm white bulbs (2700K-3000K temperature)
- Statement fixtures that become design elements themselves
Blue Bedroom Plant Combinations: The Biophilic Trend
The blue bedrooms combined with certain types of plants are trending very heavily on Pinterest. Some plants can be photographed so beautifully on the blue background and produce this fantastic contrast of nature.
Snake plants, fiddle leaf figs and monstera plants are the most popular duo with blue bedrooms. Green foliage stands out against blue walls and create both a soothing yet energizing effect.
Best Plants for Blue Bedrooms
- Snake plants – vertical lines complement blue perfectly
- Fiddle leaf figs – dramatic leaves create stunning contrast
- Monstera – unique leaf shapes add visual interest
- Pothos – trailing varieties soften hard blue edges
The Pinterest Blue Bedroom Future
This is what I think is the future of blue bedrooms on Pinterest, so more unexpected color combinations, mixed metals finishes and blue sustainable decor ways are the ones to be applauded!
I think the most positive thing about these Pinterest trends is that they show blue bedrooms are multi-faceted and do not have to be boring at all. Whether in sage and terracotta, striking blue and black, or some other combination, bedroom interiors are proving how versatile blue is and how effective it can be in a decor.
The secret behind achieving any of these fad is the ability to personalize it to your own style and space limitations. Choose what you like most, try them at home and keep in mind that the most trending bedroom is the one that brings happiness out of you on each and every day.
Which of these Pinterest blue bedroom aesthetics do you want to give a shot to the most? Just take my word: you pin some blue bedrooms once, and you will never have the same Pinterest account ever again!
