Looking for smoky blue bedroom ideas that go beyond a new wall color? Think striped bedding, floral curtains or a little moonlit corner beside your pillows.
These rooms include blue-gray walls plus lighter spaces where the bed and accessories bring in the blue.
You can keep things simple or go all out with patterns. I especially love the blue paneling and little gold-colored details.
There’s plenty here to try, whether you’re changing your bedding or planning a bigger bedroom update.

Smoky Blue Bedroom Ideas to Try
blue paneling and leaning art
We’re starting off strong with this pretty blue-gray paneled wall. I love the overlapping pictures on the ledge and the black lamps on either side of the bed.
For a smoky blue bedroom like this, pair your wall color with white bedding and a small dark blue pillow. Keep the pale stripes if you want a little pattern too.
a canopy and painted trees
How gorgeous is this tree-covered backdrop? The slim canopy frame sits in front of it, with matching lamps beside the bed.
I especially love the two dark-framed chairs with pale blue seats. Try a little round table between yours if you have room for a seating spot.
floral walls and blue curtains
If you are looking for lots of pattern, then this one is for you. There are pale flowers all over the dark walls, blue curtains and a long purple patterned pillow.

The pink trim is my favorite extra detail. Try that pairing if you want something a little different from white trim.
blue artwork above the bed
Don’t want to paint your walls blue? No problem!
Try a blue bed throw and a large abstract picture like the ones here. The brown headboard and pale bedding keep the rest simple.

I love the tall leafy plant beside the window. It fills that corner without adding another piece of furniture.
a blue attic nook
This little bedroom may just be one of my favorites here. The dark blue-gray wall and shelf tuck beneath the sloping ceiling, with pale pillows piled against the back.
A small framed picture and a few bowls are all the shelf needs. Keep your own display low if you’re working with a similar slope.
flowers around the window seat
I am obsessed with this window seat. The floral curtains, cushions and seat cover look so pretty surrounded by blue paneling.
There’s a larger floral pattern on the wall beside the bed too. If you want to try mixing prints, start with designs that share the same blue and cream colors.
moons and dark furniture
Calling all moon-and-star fans, this mood board has so many cute details. I love the crescent cushion, blue bedding and dark bookcase filled with little decorations.
You don’t have to use everything in the collage. Start with a celestial pillow and blue curtains, then add a gold-colored star if you want another little touch.
a gold-framed mirror
This is such a pretty blue wall color with the brown bed frame. The gold-colored mirror above the pillows is my favorite part, especially with those patches of sunlight beside it.
Try a few small floral pillows against cream bedding to follow this look. There’s no need for a big pattern on every layer.
blue furniture and tan panels
If you’re looking for a coordinated bedside setup, go with this blue bed frame and matching nightstand. The tan inset panels repeat across the headboard and drawers.
I love the pale lamps beside the white bedding. A little plant on your nightstand would be a cute finishing touch.
floral bedding and a chandelier
How pretty is this bedroom? The tiered chandelier hangs beneath a honey-brown beamed ceiling, with blue-gray walls all around.
The floral bedding and three flower drawings are lovely together. Try a plain blue throw across your bed if you want to break up the pattern.
pale blue and rustic details
This is another beamed-ceiling idea, but it’s a little different from the one above. I love the brown headboard with its diagonal details and the large chest at the foot of the bed.
The pale blue walls look gorgeous beside all that white bedding. Keep your pillows in those same light shades for a similar look.
a curved blue bed
I am obsessed with this rounded blue bed frame. The brown-and-cream striped pillows and long olive-brown cushion are such a pretty combination.
Don’t forget to look at the wall lights! Their pale shades have green edging, which is a lovely detail to borrow for your own room.
bookshelves around the bed
If you love having books nearby, this one is worth saving. Blue-gray shelves run up both sides of the bed and across the top, with globe-shaped lights tucked beside the pillows.
The rust-red cushion is a favorite detail too. Try one against blue patterned pillows if your bed needs another color.
stripes with ruffled edges
How cute are these ruffled pillowcases? The blue-and-white stripes continue onto the bedding, with smaller prints layered between them.
You can keep your walls cream like this and still bring in plenty of blue. I’d keep the little floral cushion at the front too.
scrollwork and ornate mirrors
This mood board is full of pretty vintage-style details. I love the dark scrolling bed frame, ornate mirrors and chandelier against the blue walls.
If you want to borrow just a little of the look, try an oval decorative mirror beside your bed. A pale blue throw would be lovely with cream bedding.

a blue wall and sage throw
Don’t want blue on every wall? No problem there! This room keeps it behind the bed, with pale curtains framing the black window.
The sage-colored throw looks so pretty next to the blue pillows. Try those two colors together over white bedding, then hang a landscape above your headboard.
twin beds and checked pillows
These twin beds are just too cute together. I especially love the blue checked pillows in front of the striped ones, plus the floral covers at the ends.
A blue-gray nightstand sits between the beds with a lamp and a pitcher of flowers. Try this shared-table arrangement if you’re planning a twin bedroom.
tall curtains and blue trim
If you’re looking for something that keeps the colors simple, this one is for you. Blue-gray walls and matching trim surround the pale bed, with long cream curtains at both windows.
The little buttoned chair in the corner is a lovely addition. I’d leave the bedding mostly white, just like this.
olive green and a red rug
Who says you have to stick to blue and white? This room pairs blue walls and a blue ceiling with olive curtains, green pillows and a bright red patterned rug.
I love the small gallery of pictures above the bed. Bring a little green into your artwork if you want to repeat the curtain color.
a moonlit bedside alcove
Last but definitely not least, we have this gorgeous moon mural beside built-in blue shelves. The leafy silhouettes against the pale moon are so pretty!
I love the gold-colored birds and little dome-shaped lamp on the shelves. Keep your bedding white if you want to follow this dark-blue-and-pale pairing.
