30 Dark Minimalist Bedroom Ideas Perfect to Implement

We have discussed before how to create a dark minimalist bedroom and we have given you some tips to make this possible.

Now we want to show you some ideas you can use to create such a bedroom. The color you choose for your bedroom is very important.

It can influence how you relax and how you wake up in the morning. It can also influence your mood and your personality.

If you choose a dark color, you will need to be careful with the rest of the colors you use in the room.

1. Combine dark paint with white walls

White walls are the go-to for many people when they don’t know what color to paint a room.

But if you want to get a little more creative, you can paint the bottom half of the wall with a dark color and leave the top half white.

This is a great way to add a pop of color to a room, and it can also help make the room feel cozier.

You can also use this trick with wallpaper or wainscoting to get a similar effect.

2. Choose a dark paint that doesn’t have a blue undertone

If you’re not familiar with paint terminology, you might be surprised to learn that almost every paint color has an undertone.

The undertone is the color that you see when you look at a paint color in different lighting.

In the case of dark paint colors, you might see a blue undertone in some of them.

In the photo above, you can see how the dark paint color on the wall has a hint of blue. This gives the wall a moody, serene look.

If you prefer a warmer dark color, look for a paint color with a brown or green undertone. These colors will make the room feel cozier and more intimate.

3. Add plenty of lighting

Lighting is a key element in any room, but it’s especially important in a dark minimalist bedroom.

To prevent the room from feeling like a dark cave, you’ll want to add plenty of lighting.

In this bedroom, a combination of floor lamps and wall sconces are used to provide ample light.

The sconces are mounted on either side of the bed to provide task lighting for reading, while the floor lamps can be moved around the room as needed.

4. Use dark colors in a small space

Don’t be afraid to use dark colors in a small bedroom. Dark colors can make a small space feel cozy and inviting.

In this bedroom, a dark, moody wall color is paired with a dark wood bed frame and black and white artwork.

The white bedding and area rug help to balance out the dark colors in the room.

The light wood nightstand and table lamp add warmth to the space. A small potted plant and a vase of fresh flowers bring life and color to the room.

5. Create a dark headboard wall

If you want to add a touch of dark color to your bedroom but you don’t want to feel like you’re closing in the space, consider painting just the wall behind your bed.

This is a great way to create a focal point in the room and draw attention to the bed in a more casual way.

6. Combine dark colors with warm colors

I’m a big fan of combining dark colors with warm colors. It’s a great way to add some visual interest to your bedroom.

In this bedroom, we have a black accent wall and a dark green wall.

The warm wood tones in the bed and side tables add some warmth to the space, and the cream-colored bedding and rug add a nice contrast to the dark walls.

The mustard-colored throw pillow and the orange flowers on the nightstand add a pop of color to the space.

I also love how the orange flowers tie in with the color of the wood in the bed and side tables.

7. Add a little bit of color

One of the best things about a minimalist bedroom is you can add in little touches of color without it feeling like too much.

In this bedroom designed by Kate Lester, the black and white color scheme is given a little bit of life with the addition of the green and the lavender in the pillows.

8. Use dark colors in a large space

If you have a large bedroom, you can use dark colors in your minimalist design.

In this room, the dark gray walls are broken up by white paint on the lower half of the wall.

This creates a visual break and keeps the dark color from feeling too heavy.

9. Choose a dark bed frame

Bedding can be the star of the show with a minimalist design, but you can also have a little fun with a dark bed frame.

There are so many unique options to choose from, ranging from metal to wood, and you can also find some with intricate designs.

10. Add a dark rug

If you want to start small, add a dark rug to your space. This is a great way to create a focal point for your room and give it a little contrast.

In this bedroom, the dark rug creates a contrast with the light wood floors.

Then, the dark colors in the rug are repeated in the bed linens and art on the wall for a cohesive look.
