Or as Diana on Instagram demonstrates with her calming color palette choice:

She says:

Create a serene pallet of soft blues, muted greens, and creamy white. Incorporate these shades through your bedding, linens, throw pillows, and artwork for a calming effect.

Even a modern farmhouse-style bedroom can feel like the ultimate cozy oasis at the end of a long day…

To me, navy blue is a VERY relaxing and calming color – I would LOVE an accent wall like this behind our bed… so pretty!

Choose Warm Colors

As a general rule, you would pick warm paint colors to create that soft, cozy feel. Those warm colors are soft shades of red, orange and yellow.

While red, orange and yellow might NOT sound “relaxing” to you, these are great color options for small bedrooms that have limited natural light for a bright and cheery aesthetic room without spending a lot of money.

Restful Rustic

Many people tend to lean towards a rustic-style bedroom for a more relaxing and cozy space.

The wood, the earthy calming colors, the natural decorating touches – all help create a space where you want to crawl up, read a book and relax.

That’s my idea of the perfect peaceful bedroom!

Here are some paint color ideas to achieve that restful rustic cozy earthy room style:

Blush Pink Colors

Colors To Make Your Room Look Bigger

One important thing about choosing a color to make your bedroom more relaxing:

Make sure you don’t choose a color that makes your small bedroom look even SMALLER.

Feeling like you are cramped into a small room is NOT relaxing or calming at all.

So, what colors DO make a small bedroom look, and FEEL, bigger?

According to MyMove.com:

For an optimum effect, go with soft tones like off-white, blues, and greens, and always remember that brighter rooms feel bigger and more inviting. And here’s another hack: Try painting your wall trim and moldings in a lighter color than your walls.

Best Colors For Sleep

Now, if your idea of a cozy bedroom is to help you relax and sleep better, there are specific colors that are better at promoting better sleep and that restful aesthetic.

According to amerisleep.com:

The best colors for sleep are blue, yellow, green, silver, orange, and pink. These colors reduce stress and soothe the nervous system. Try to stick with neutral or pastel shades for a soft, welcoming atmosphere.

Shades of Gray

One of THE most popular bedroom paint colors this year is gray.

But my goodness, there are SO many shades of gray to choose from – how do you choose?

According to realsimple.com the most popular shade of grey for a bedroom comes from Sherwin Williams:

Agreeable Gray SW 7029 is our most popular gray paint color because it’s the perfect hue for any living space, whether it be a family room or bedroom

When using grey in your bedroom, consider adding a pop of color, like yellow to brighten things up just a bit.

At the top of this decision of picking a color scheme for your small bedroom, it all comes down to what colors make YOU feel relaxed?

Whatever that color, or colors, are will be the right choice for YOUR bedroom.
