I promised you guys I would share this week on how I ombred my oldest daughter’s bedroom. This DIY project takes a little bit of patience, but it’s a lot of fun to create an Ombre Bedroom Walls! So if you’re looking to tackle a new paint project, check this out!
Ombre Bedroom Walls
We are in the middle of making over her bedroom. She turned 10 over the summer and was done with her bubblegum pink walls. She loves teal blue right now and anything beachy, so I figured having some ombre blue walls would fit perfectly!
Here’s what you need to create your own ombre wall. Affiliate links included for your convenience, read more here.
Ombre Wall Supplies:
- 2 similar paint colors
- I used teal blue shades, pick 2 color on a paint swatch sample
- 3 paint trays
- 3 paint rollers
- paint brush
Ombre Bedroom Walls Tutorial
Here’s my cheat sheet…
The lighter shade of blue paint we used is Hawaiian Sky and the darker shade is Half Moon Bay.
When on the 8th step…Blend, blend and blend some more where they meet. I went with the technique of going up and then down… blending lighter and then going into the darker and bringing it up into the lighter shade and then back down.
This process does take a little more time then painting just one color, but once you have all your supplies/trays set it moves pretty quickly.
But the results are SO worth it!!! Have you wanted to try ombre on a wall?

The paint colors are listed in the post.

hoping you will find this and have an answer for me…
in your instructions, you state: ‘5th- Roll the top 2/3s with the lightest shade.’
is this correct, or did you mean ‘Roll the top 1/3 with the lightest shade.’
i am about to try this is my granddaughter’s room and after all the new sheetrock hung and mudding work done, i do not want to get it wrong…
This wall is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing how you did it.

THe wall are so pretty! Thanks for the tutorial!Xo
Very nice! I was wondering though ….. I have a palette that I’ve used throughout my house. We’ve used the lightest, middle, and darkest colors from *one* paint chip card. Would that have the same effect without mixing the lightest and darkest? Seems like it would be okay. Thinking this might be the way to go in my basement craft room area. 🙂
so pretty Maryann. I’m sure your daughter loves them!
