Red White Blue Bedroom Decorating Ideas

A photo of a red and white lighthouse looks great in a nautical-themed bedroom.


Red, white, and blue bedroom decorating ideas can lend themselves to a wide range of themes. Fresh, bright and versatile, these classic colors are good for children or adults. Whether it's a patriotic look you are going for, or a more nautical theme, you are sure to love your red, white and blue bedroom when you are finished decorating it.


Americana


The Americana look features patriotic items with a cozy, country feel. Throw an antique red, white, and blue quilt across the foot of your rustic, four-poster bed. Scatter red, white and blue throw pillows at the head of the bed that match the quilt. Frame an old flag and hang that above the bed. Hang tin stars on the wall and group a cluster of white candles underneath them on a rustic shelf that matches the bed. On the hardwood floor, place a navy rag rug and hang sheer white curtain panels in the windows.








Nautical


Bring the outdoors in by creating a nautical or beach theme in your bedroom. Install white wainscoting halfway up the walls and paint the upper portion of the walls a rich, dark blue. Then, hang ocean prints, starfish, or even old lifesaving devices on the walls. A photo of a red and white striped lighthouse sitting on a white shelf makes a great "beach-themed" accessory. Throw a thick navy blanket across the foot of your white, cottage-style bed.


Patterns


You don't have to make your bedroom overly patriotic or extremely "beachy" if you want to use red, white and blue. The colors also work well as stand-alones. Install white ceiling molding against blue walls to make your bedroom for a relaxed feel. Cover the bed with a fluffy down comforter covered with a red toile duvet cover. Display some blue and white china on a nightstand or shelf, along with some white tapered candles in silver candlestick holders for a sophisticated, romantic feel.
