Not everyone has the gift of being able to decorate a room with ease, some of us, me included, need to work a bit harder at trying to visualise what we want. Not only do you have to get the paint colour right for walls, finding the right furniture for the room and finally, dressing the room with colour, texture, and pattern. To make your life a little easier, paint experts, Behr.com (U.S.) decorate one bedroom with three different looks and you can take this inspiration and apply it to any bedroom in your home.
DECORATING TIP
If you love any of the colours below, we suggest that you print out this page and take it along to your nearest paint store to get the paint swatches. Viewing colours on a laptop, tablet or phone is not a true reflection of the colour as every device is different and choosing colours this way could end up being an expensive disappointment.
1 | Timeless and Casual
White has always been a popular colour for decorating any room in a home and it loved just as much in the bedroom. Having white as the background colour lets you bring in additional neutral or muted colours to build up layers of colour to reflect the style you want for the room. In this case, earthy colours like taupe, grey and blue give an almost coastal theme to the room that is both welcoming and warming and give the bedroom timeless appeal.
Selecting colours and accessories for this room revolves around a muted colour palette or whites, pale blues, and earthy hues. With the walls painted a fresh white colour use blue accents on trim or bring a splash of colour to the bed with a throw blanket or comforter or add a blue throw pillow or two.
Textiles such as curtains, carpets or rugs finish off the look and bring a textural element for that touchy-feely effect and they also bring warmth into the space. Adding organic pieces such as wood or warm metals add even more warmth.
2 | Back to Nature
Going back to nature is what we all yearn for - a way to slow down and take more time for relaxation. The moody colours in this bedroom are grounded and yet still make you feel tranquil. Green and blue is the perfect colour combination for a bedroom as both colours reflect nature and have the ability to soothe and calm you. You don't have to go as dark as this and can select shades of green and blue that are a shade or two lighter to achieve the same natural balance.
Replicate this look with earthy hues of blue, green with a splash of grey or taupe. Accessorise with textural elements and organic fabrics such as cotton or linen. Layer with natural coil or sisal rugs and bring in basket and wood accessories.
3 | Fresh Appeal
When your bedroom starts to feel bland and uninviting that means it is time for a change, something that invites you in and lets you know you are alive. What better way to bring energy to any room that to add vibrant colours? Beige walls provide the perfect canvas for this cheery colour palette adding a hint of warmth while the colours in the fabrics tie everything together. This is the perfect look for a spring or summer bedroom and would also work well for a teen bedroom. The fresh appeal of this bedroom is highlighted with bright accent colours.
Go bright or go home! Fill the room with a visual colour palette of bright hues inspired by a country garden. Fresh pink or lilac with a sky blue and a dash of blush pink with just a hint of pale lemon for a dash of zest to give the room life.
