Are you stuck on how to choose the perfect colour or colours when planning to re-decorate your bedroom? It can be tricky to find the right inspiration that will stand the test of time, and also reflect your likes and personality.
Your bedroom is the place where you can relax at the end of a long day and get ready for another busy day. It’s important that you create a comforting space that makes you feel relaxed and peaceful. Let’s explore some of the latest trends when it comes to decorating your bedroom.
Decorating Trends For Bedrooms
There are a lot of different decorating trends that you can choose from when decorating your bedroom. You can go with a minimalist, traditional, modern or a shabby chic bedroom design. Whatever you choose, make sure it reflects your own taste, while working well with your room size and furniture.
The best way to start, is to choose the perfect colour scheme for your bedroom. We’ve summarised some of the colour trends that work well in a bedroom space.
- Mood-setting colours – These are ideal if you’re trying to create a restful, calming atmosphere in your bedroom. Blue, green, and grey are all mood-setting colours that can help you relax and get a good night’s sleep.
- Mood-lifting colours – If you want to create an energetic and creative vibe in your bedroom, then you might want to go with mood-lifting colours. Orange, red, and yellow are all colour that can help you feel more happy, creative and positive.
- Colour blending – Colour-blending is when you select two or more different colours and mix them together to create a new colour. This is ideal when you want a one-off, unique colour.
- Colour pairs – Pairing two colours that compliment each other works as a theme to use throughout your bedroom.
Dark And Moody Colours
Dark and moody colours can create a sophisticated and elegant look. If you want to create a warm stylish space, colours including dark red, dark blue, and dark green work well. One of the biggest trends in bedroom design is going for a black and white color scheme. This can create a dramatic, stylish, and modern bedroom design. Any dark colour will usually work well with white or a cream colour to balance the theme without leaving the room too dark. Dark colours also tend to make a room look smaller, so you don’t want to go overboard with them.
Light and Uplifting Colours
Light and uplifting colours are a popular choice for a bedroom, helping to create a relaxing, light and calm feel. While dark colours should almost always be accompanied by a lighter colour, lighter colours are a perfect choice if you are looking to use a single colour. The colour choice for your bedroom depends on your own personal preference. Light yellows, oranges and purples give a warm, summer feel and really open up a room, giving the impression of more space.
The Importance Of Colour In Decorating
Colour is very important in decorating, especially when it comes to your bedroom. Whether you want to create a relaxing, calming atmosphere or an energetic and creative vibe, the colour you choose can have a big impact on the final feel of the room. The colour that you paint the walls with can have a direct correlation to your mood. If you have a really stressful day and you come home to a dark and gloomy bedroom, you may regret the darker colour choices. Thankfully, there are lots of different light and softer colour choices that can help you relax and unwind.
