Bedroom Palette: Restful, Bold or Eccentric?

 

The bedroom, unlike living spaces, can make use of hot hues on walls. Living space walls normally reflect the trendiest artwork and accessories unlike the bedroom where in-the-moment palettes are most in. The 80s bright neon look, for instance, would be an interesting color to splash across the bedroom walls. Pink and dove gray combination, on the other hand, makes for a relaxing room. If you want a more recent color combination, look for them in fashion magazines. What usually appears in clothing stores and on runways are almost always translated to bedding.

For those who have a bit of trouble when it comes to sleep, colors that are serene or restful is the way to go. For those who do not have sleeping issues, then you are the few who can try something bolder. Spending more time inside the bedroom is a lot more fun if the colors are fresh and they match your personality.

Rich Hues

Choose to add color and texture in one go with the grass cloth wall covering. Pick a color (or color combination) that is vibrant so that the rest of the room is left simple. Say, you chose flaming red as the color; then have the bed and the rest of the furniture in a more subdued color. You can, however, carry over the red to your lampshades, pillows, and bedding.

Painting the walls and trim with a bold, bright hue can give the bedroom a cozier, more cocooning effect.

The Hanging Chair

If you have ample room for an extra chair, then you might as well have one that shows a lot of flair. A hanging basket chair will surely catch anyone’s attention.

The One-of-a-Kind Keyhole Arch

If you are jumping into the remodelling bandwagon, then you might as well do something mysterious or unique for this project. Adding a nook or a semi-secret corner can be done in style. Just add a keyhole arch to separate the smaller area. This should still be able to allow the passage of light into the main room.

Use Layering

Try a different sort of style when you are out to change the bedding. Mix and match patterns and colors. Since the bed is the biggest object inside the room, make it a point to think about what you would put there. Any pattern or color that you place there will immediately catch the eye of anyone who visits the bedroom. Use a smaller scale of patterns on the sheet while using a larger scale pattern on your coverlet.

Accent pillows can take the extra large scale prints.

Beautify the Windows, Too

Don’t be satisfied with plain blinds for your bedroom. You can afford to be more flamboyant when it comes to your bedroom shade so you might as well choose fun fabrics.

You may begin with the plain, neutral-colored shades then sew on some interesting fabrics. Just be conscious about the layers that you add since these can make the shades opaque. See also that the fabrics won’t make opening and closing the shades a lot more difficult.

Add Some Bedroom Art

It would also be nice if you can commission a wonderful piece of art. You can save up for one artwork or you can create a simple gallery right on your bedroom walls. Most artists work from a single photograph then they develop their theme from there.

You can set up a real headboard, a wallpaper headboard, or you can simply cover a not-so-inspiring part of the wall with curtains.

You see, there is no need to limit your vision with regard to the inspiring

bedroom that you are creating so unleash the artiste in you.
