Looking for plum bedroom ideas but not sure how much color to add? Start with striped bedding, a dark accent wall or a pretty purple throw.
These rooms and mood boards give you plenty to choose from, with shades ranging from dusty mauve to deep wine.
You can keep things simple or go all out. There are floral pillows, colorful lighting and even a few reading-corner ideas to borrow.
I especially love the plum and green combinations!
Plum Bedroom Ideas Worth Saving
plum stripes and scalloped lights
We’re starting off strong with this pretty striped bedding and those burgundy scalloped pendant lights. I love the plum pillows against the dark brown curtains.
Try a brown throw across the foot of your bed to follow this collage. The floral rug is a lovely extra detail if you want another pattern.
flowers against wine walls
How gorgeous is this wall color? The deep wine shade looks so pretty behind the gold-tone bed frame and mismatched botanical pictures.
Bring the flowers onto your bed with a mix of patterned pillows. You don’t have to use the same print everywhere, which is one of my favorite things about this room.
dark walls and cream bedding
If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. Cream bedding sits against dark plum walls, with a dark throw draped down one side.
The small pictures and hat make the corner feel personal. Try your own little collection rather than one large print.
deep plum paneling
Don’t want to paint every wall dark? No problem! This room pairs deep plum paneling behind the bed with pale walls and a white ceiling.

I love the white headboard and matching bedside cabinets. Keep your bedding mostly white if you want to follow this look.
a draped canopy and collected details
I am obsessed with the canopy in this mood board. The sheer plum drapes look so pretty around the white bedding, especially with that little olive-green pillow.
There’s plenty of decorating inspo here beyond the bed too. The owl picture and chest with rows of small drawers would be lovely starting points for a more collected look.
muted plum and a gold-tone bed
This is such a pretty way to add plum without painting your walls. A muted patterned cover at the foot of the bed picks up the color in the long decorative pillow.
The curved gold-tone frame is my favorite part. There’s no need for lots of extra color around it.
full curtains and dark bedding
If you’re looking for a darker bedroom idea, go with this combination of plum bedding and charcoal pillows. Tall gray-mauve curtains stretch behind the headboard, with a little amber glow at either side.
I’d keep the long dark pillow across the front. It’s a simple detail worth borrowing.
plum and peach under the skylight
The peach and plum pairing is so cute in this room. I love how the peach sheets peek out beneath the darker bedding and fringed throw.
If your room already has white walls, try changing the bedding first. This gives you plenty of color without having to reach for paint.
a wine-colored rug and mustard chair
Want the color somewhere other than your walls? This room keeps the bed pale and lets a large wine-red patterned rug do most of the decorating.
The mustard chair by the windows is a lovely addition. For a more purple version, you could swap the small dark pillows for plum ones.
mauve wardrobes and a dressing nook
This wardrobe setup may just be one of my favorites here. The mood board shows muted mauve doors surrounding a dressing nook, with an arched mirror in the middle.
I love the long gold-tone handles. Pair a similar cabinet color with dusty pink bedding if you want to borrow more of this combination.
green curtains and purple layers
How cute is that pomegranate-shaped pillow? This mood board mixes purple and burgundy bedding with green curtains, plants and shelves full of books.
The little pink patterned lamp is another favorite. Pick one playful detail like that if you don’t want to recreate the whole collection.
flowers around a reading chair
Calling all book lovers, this reading corner has so much to look at! White shelves are filled with books while white and purple flower garlands hang beside the window.
This isn’t a full plum bedroom scheme, but it’s lovely inspiration for a reading spot. Try a plum throw on your chair if you want to connect a similar corner to darker bedding.
a wine-colored window nook
I love this window seat with its deep red pillows and cream drawers. The wine-colored wall around the nook looks gorgeous beside the pale shelving.

This image focuses on a seating nook rather than a bed. If you have a bedroom window seat, you could borrow the mix of plain dark pillows and smaller patterned ones.
dusty pink and a dark wardrobe
Don’t want to go all out with dark bedding? This mood board is for you.
It pairs a cream bed with a deep wine-colored wardrobe against a dusty pink background.
The rounded headboard and three-part dressing mirror are so pretty together. I’d keep the pale bedding just like this.
purple walls and a little chandelier
This room brings the purple onto both the walls and the bed. I love the small chandelier above it, plus the pale pillows mixed between the darker ones.
Try a muted green throw at the foot of your bed if you want a little break from all the purple.
a neat botanical gallery
If you love floral pictures but want a more orderly arrangement, this one is for you. Six botanical prints hang in two rows above the curved headboard.
The plum accent wall and floral pillows look so pretty with the white bedding. Choose matching frames to follow the same simple arrangement.
berry bedding in a bright loft
You don’t need dark walls to bring berry colors into your room. Here, a rose-berry bed cover sits beside white bedding, tall windows and exposed brick.
I love the tied-back white curtains. For a deeper plum take on this look, you could choose a darker cover and leave the rest pale.
hearts and a petal-shaped light
How adorable is that heart pillow? This attic bedroom mixes wine-colored walls with pink bedside lamps, patterned bedding and a bright yellow cushion.
The petal-shaped pendant is another lovely detail. If you want a playful version of a dark bedroom, there’s plenty to borrow here.
pale mauve and leafy plants
Don’t want to add lots of patterns? No problem there! Try pale mauve bedding with dark gray sheets, white curtains and a few leafy plants.

I love the round white pendant above the bed. This is a lighter take on the purple palette than the deep wall colors above.
a berry bench and cream bedding
Last but definitely not least, we have this pretty berry-colored bench. I am in love with the curved ends!
The darker border around the headboard repeats the color without covering the whole bed.
Try a similar bench with cream bedding and a brown patterned pillow. It’s a lovely option if you’d rather add color through furniture.
