Beautiful Dark Feminine Bedroom Ideas For Every Style

Dark colors are often associated with masculine spaces while pastel shades are considered more feminine. But I want to show you that you can create a feminine bedroom using dark and moody color tones.

There is a growing trend in interior design for bolder paint colors and I celebrate the homes where white, gray, and very light pastels are a thing of the past. Go for bold, and start in the bedroom. It’s your private zone and a darker shade on the walls will transform your space.

These dark feminine bedroom ideas will inspire you to pick up a dark paint color and turn your bedroom into a cozy haven.

The Benefits of a Dark Bedroom

  • Dark Tones Create a Cozy Atmosphere. Dark paint colors make a room feel snug and intimate, which can help you relax and fall asleep faster.
  • Dark Colors Enhance Sleep Quality. Dark colors block light, which can help you sleep better, especially if you are sensitive to light.
  • Dark Colors Add Drama and Depth. Dark colors on the walls create depth and a luxurious look to your bedroom.
  • Dark Colors are Versatile: The great thing about dark colors is that you can combine them with almost any color on the color wheel. For a soft accent, pair them with pink. For an earthy look, pair them with terracotta.

  • A Dark Bedroom Increases The Value of Your House. Did you know that certain paint colors will increase the value of your house? According to a Zillow study, a dark blue bedroom can add approximately $1,500 in value to your house.

Create the right balance between dark and light and add textiles to your room for a layered and warm look.

How To Create a Dark Feminine Bedroom

  • Create a color palette with complementary colors. Start by choosing a dark shade that suits your interior style. Classic hues like dark blue, emerald, purple, or gray will certainly form the right base for your dark feminine bedroom.

  • Use Soft Textures. Lighter-colored accessories and textures add depth, warmth, and softness to the room. Velvet and silk add a soft and luxurious touch to your bedroom. Don’t be afraid to mix and match and create a layered look for extra coziness.

  • Add Metallic Accessories. Metallics like brass or gold are the perfect match for dark colors. They add a touch of sophisticated glamour and a hint of shimmer. Add metallics in lighting, mirrors, wardrobe handles, or fittings.
  • Curved and Ornate Furniture. To create the optimal dark feminine bedroom, an antique bed with intricate woodwork and curved lines is a must. Look in your parent’s attic or visit vintage stores for dark wooden antique finds that add a romantic touch to your room.

  • Florals. A floral pattern always adds a feminine look to a bedroom. Think about dark floral wallpaper, floral cushions, floral artwork, or (fake) flowers.

  • Lighting. Think carefully about your lighting to create a cozy vibe. A chandelier with soft lighting can be a great statement piece that can be supplemented with wall sconces, table lamps, and (electric) candles.
