Dark wallpaper in the interior of the bedroom
The choice of the color of wallpaper in the bedroom is always a personal matter, and you need to build on this rule, because fashion, no matter how dictatorial it may be, cannot become the main guideline in the choice of things around a person, especially when it comes to such an intimate space as bedroom.
Advantages and disadvantages
They say that dark colors affect mood, and negatively - make the room gloomy, devoid of sun and air. This is stereotypical, because it is not the color of the wallpaper that makes a room so unattractive, but inappropriate shades in accordance with the dimensions of the bedroom, the already existing finishes, decor, etc. If everything is matched perfectly, the room will only benefit, and most importantly, it will be possible to create the most comfortable environment for sleeping in it.
Pros of dark wallpaper in the bedroom:
- dispose to rest, muffle activity;
- promote better sleep;

- promote relaxation;
- help to create non-trivial design solutions;
- look laconic, make the look of the room stricter.
And this is in addition to the fact that among the dark wallpapers there are many beautiful, luxurious options that cannot be compared with less deep light ones.
Cons of dark wallpaper in the bedroom:

It is believed that in an apartment, as in one organism, everything should not just be combined, but somewhat repeat each other. As if if a light scale was chosen for the rooms, then it should be traced everywhere. But this is not an axiom, it is quite possible to choose more complex, not so straightforward options. And if you want to clearly delineate the functionality of the rooms, it is not so difficult to do this with the help of color. And the dark color will logically settle in the bedroom. But the sleep hormone, melatonin, is actively produced in the dark, which means that choosing dark wallpapers is practical and even beneficial to health.
Species overview
At the end of the first twenty years of the century, simplicity became fashionable, the one in which perfection, purity and recognizable motives loved by more than one generation. And it so happened that modern, stylish and budget wallpapers are not three different categories, but one and the same, that is, paper. It is they who are in favor today, because it is both environmentally friendly and laconic, and very trendy. Moreover, technologies are being modernized - modern paper wallpapers now look more attractive than their predecessors.
This is for material, but for dark wallpapers, material is not everything. The print, color scale, texture are important, which characterize the wallpaper more vividly. For example:
- wallpapers with a large print - they look bohemian, expressive, very bright;
- small print - creates more comfort, the bedroom becomes a very comfortable place;
- pronounced texture - in a small bedroom it is unprofitable, but if you want to create an atmosphere of warmth, a cozy cocoon, it is ideal;
- smoothness, close to a metallic glow - will be required where the windows face the sunny side and you need to somehow level out a too hot room.
That is, color is not everything. The same shade, for example blue-black, gives a completely different picture in a small and spacious bedroom, in a room with different geometries, different furniture, etc.
Color palette
The selection of colors, tones, shades is, indeed, a delicate matter. Absolutely each of the proposed options has the right to exist in a typical bedroom. And with everyone you can create a design masterpiece - there are no taboo colors in the bedroom.
Dark blue
Many people associate deep blue with romance, lyricism, somewhere even mysticism. This is the color of late evening - the best time to fall asleep.
Psychology of the blue color (including in relation to wallpaper for the bedroom):
- calms, creates pacification;
- the feeling of coolness is combined with feelings of authority and calmness;
- the color inspires a sense of confidence;
- personifies both stability and infinity.
Fear can be caused by the fact that long-term exposure to blue causes anxiety and depression, but in order to avoid such an effect, it must be diluted - lighter, warmer and more dynamic.
It is also believed that in a blue room, the situation looks more orderly.
Blue wallpapers are suitable for those who want to abstract from all vain affairs in the bedroom, focus on relaxation or quiet reading, listening to music. The color will also appeal to those who consider themselves a conservative person who prefers a leisurely course of things, tradition and enjoy long quiet evenings.
Dark brown
The color is rather restrained and conservative. On the one hand, it is often present in the interior, at least in the form of wooden furniture or fragments on beige wallpaper. On the other hand, this particular color is rarely used correctly. But he offers many interesting options, for example, luxurious chocolate shades that can turn a modest room into a chic corner.
It is the color of stability, realism, relevance.... If we talk about color temperature, then warm colors are preferable. Cold ones are considered more pessimistic and depressive, and it is difficult to choose interior "companions" for them.
Dark red
The most passionate and most aggressive color, incredibly powerful in its energy. Rare daredevils decide to use it in the bedroom to decorate the walls, fearing its activity and "energy drain". But there are options. Dark red shades are no longer as aggressive - they are more restrained, more noble and can claim a place in the bedroom.
But if the room is small, narrow, it is more difficult to be appropriate for dark red shades. A more spacious room offers more options.
And do not force the bedroom with bulky furniture, hang heavy curtains, because they will aggravate the position of the color - it will be more oppressive.
Dark green
Color is associated primarily with nature, freshness, naturalness. And people who appreciate it can make the bedroom walls dark green. This is a pleasant color scheme, which is good even on a physiological level - it is believed that it soothes and is even able to normalize blood pressure to some extent.
For the bedroom, this is one of the safest options when it comes to dark wallpaper. Rarely create gloom and melancholic mood. It is plant associations that do not allow it to prevail in this way.
Black
This is a contradictory color: mystical, mysterious and sad (even tragic), on the one hand, and restrained, conservative, deep, trustworthy, on the other. This is an achromatic color, because it can both absorb and enhance other colors, objects, textures in the room. This is why the help of a designer can be especially helpful in this case.
Here you cannot do without a clear placement of accents. Color demands to be played along with it: furniture, decoration, decor, seemingly different, insignificant little things.
Other
Interesting, but also complex in combination with other interior elements will be dark purple. Saturated burgundy looks elegant and convincing in the bedroom. Dark turquoise is very expressive, but often requires additional white or gold so that the interior is not oppressive. Bright solutions can be created with the charcoal, as well as the incredibly cozy color of pine needles.
How to choose wallpaper?
Choosing wallpaper in one trip to the store is a risky business. Observation will help: having scrolled through more than a dozen photos on the desired topic, an idea of different images and options is formed.
From this follow 5 basic tips.
- Sometimes a dark wallpaper on an accent wall is enough not to create an overkill with the luxury of a pleasant twilight in the room.
- Sample color options should be held in front of your eyes for at least a week. For example, in the form of posters on the mood board, on the refrigerator, on the wall. And after a week, analyze your feelings: whether the color is tired, whether the initial impression has changed.
- Visualization techniques allow you not to make impulsive choices. You need to imagine yourself in the interior not with one picture, but with different ones, for some time, and not just on the day of purchase.
- The existing furniture should be "tried on" with the potentially selected wallpaper. If anything confuses you, you need to turn to other options.
- It happens that the wallpaper is liked as an object, and the room with it, which is only presented to the buyer, looks distorted in these illusions. You should always be more realistic about how the room will change after the selection.
In a word, there are more risks with dark wallpaper, so the choice will be more responsible.
Features of bedroom decoration
If the room has warm walls, curtains, the floor, and even the ceiling does not literally leave a gap, a dangerous association of a crypt can be created. This is no longer comfort, but a direct path to the development of claustrophobia. It is not necessary to build everything in the direction of darkening - this is not the simplicity of the design path, but hypertrophy that can destroy an initially interesting idea.
Light, light, simple furniture in combination with dark wallpaper can give unexpectedly pleasant combinations that make the room visually cozier and more airy. But a massive dark bed with a bulky headboard - and against the background of dark, deep wallpaper - can create a stuffy feeling, as a result of which it will be even harder to fall asleep in such a room.
Examples of interiors
Here are the pictures where dark wallpapers became a highlight and slept as the main accent.
- The scandi bedroom is not necessarily white. And this room is definitely not gloomy. There are few colors, but a lot of comfort, and the accent combination of achromatic colors favorably shows the simplicity and stylistic accuracy of the design.
- A little bit of hygge mixed with kinfolk. Not without smooth dark wallpaper, but the lower part of the wall is left light. A good background for a relaxing pastime.
- Everything here is black-white-gray, without bright accents. It will appeal to those who have to work in an area where there is too much color and light, and they want a banal rest from them.
- Something Greek, perhaps Mediterranean. For those who miss the sea, this color scheme is suitable in the bedroom.
- A real den, cozy, warm, protecting from everything. The wallpaper is like a dense forest in which this lair is located. A small room visually changes its geometry with such design solutions.
- Only one wall is made dark, but it is she who sets the mood. Noble, stylish, deep, and the designer stopped exactly at the edge of the line when more dark color and texture would begin to absorb other objects in the bedroom.
- Brown and gray can combine to create luxurious hues. In such a room, you want to sleep a little longer.
- Everything is conservative, British verified, but overall very stylish and elegant.
- Well-chosen textiles, floor finishes, maximum light flow and black wallpaper do not make the room hopelessly dark. On the contrary, it is good for both sleep and work - a very beneficial combination.
Dark wallpapers are not a race over a fashionable abyss, but new opportunities and an escape from boring, banal design compositions.
