How To Make A Dark Bedroom Cozy

Dark bedrooms have design influences from Baroque, Industrial, and Neoclassical design movements, which gives a feel of royalty and class. Making your bedroom dim and snug allows you to escape your daily hustle and bustle and drift off into a deep slumber.

The Dark Bedroom Aesthetic Color Palette

Your priority for a dark aesthetic should be to evaluate your color scheme to get the most out of the design. Choosing a color can be the difference between a cold corner of a bedroom and a cozy cocoon escape.

Black

Black is an all-consuming medium and a dark bedroom go-to. Black makes for a polished interior and will absorb light. If you want to paint the walls black, it would be best for one wall, and if you wish to make all of them dark, opt for a super dark heavy grey to prevent making the room feel smaller.

Grey

Grey is your most versatile color option as all grey items, from bedding to wall colors, add to each other – no matter the shade. You can’t go wrong with grey, as it complements all other colors. Different tints of grey create a monochromatic effect that looks moody and stunning.

Warm Colors

The darkest shades of warm colors like browns and reds are a surefire way to bring the desired warmth to your bedroom’s atmosphere. If you’re using black or grey as a base color, accenting them with dark warm colors allows for more depth.

Cool Colors

Cool colors like blue and green are very regal and create a sense of calmness in the bedroom. Thanks to its rich, appealing look, emerald green is a trending option and will fill the cozy role. Cool colors have the same harshness as black without being too dim.

Dark And Cozy Bedroom Elements

A shadowy, comfortable bedroom is more than just a paint color. To bring the overall design together, you’ll need to think about aspects like getting enough light in, balancing the ambiance, and what to decorate with.

Lighting

You can have fun with colored LED lights in neutral color schemes and add a light dimmer to other lights to set the ambiance to match your mood. A dim color scheme will require ample lighting to make the design perfect. For coziness, opt for warm bulbs instead of cool ones.

Contrast

There needs to be at least one element of contrast to balance your bedroom and prevent it from looking like a cave. You can keep the roof white, add a white headboard or carpet, or use light flooring. It can also be a light color instead of white.

Décor

The decor is the part where your imagination can run wild. Matching the bedding to your color scheme, finding bold artwork, adding comfy pillows, and putting up textured wallpaper are just some of the many options.
