Just like dark furniture and accessories pop on white walls, light accents pop on a dark wall. You can liven up a dark bedroom so it doesn't become depressing by using the right amount of lighter accessories and accents.
I like the feeling of being encompassed by the room and this pretty dark bedroom does just that!

Even though this bedroom is saturated in dark teal the good lighting and lacquered ceiling keep things from feeling claustrophobic.
Teal and grey is a pretty combination to consider for your dark, moody bedroom.

This bedroom is dark and moody because of the deep shades of green, red, black, and purple that are used throughout. The white touches of bedding and the reflective surfaces provide a good contrast.
Incorporate items that are reflective like the mirrored pieces to help your dark bedroom not be too overwhelming during the day.
