COLORS-FOR-BEDROOM-IDEAS

We all want to inject a little color into our bedroom but it's one of the hardest rooms in which to get the balance right. Here's some gorgeous inspiration to show how it's done.
The confidence to add color to your bedroom comes with building from a safe base of neutrals and textured finishes in your walls, flooring and architectural features. Layer soft folds with bed linens and throws, and then punctuate with cushions and the odd statement accessory.
Subtle touches of purple mixed with dark moody charcoals introduce a refined, subdued palette. Pattern does the heavy lifting here, with larger expanses such as wallpaper and curtains turning down the color dial, counterbalanced by soft furnishings and cushions.
Pops of color in this master bedroom seem brave but closer inspection yields the ability to change it up at will and with trends and seasons - artworks and cushions carry the brightest hues, with natural timbers on walls and floor breaking up an otherwise all- white base. Textured throws and a hide rug up the ante. 
Again a base of all white in this loft bedroom allows the architecture to shine, with accessories and soft furnishings bringing in the luxe look with texture and color. Lush velvet throws are juxtaposed against weathered concrete flooring and monochrome and metal sit side-by-side. The bedspread makes a statement in an opulent jeweled, deep peony pink, offset by its pale pink counterpart layered above.
This bedroom sees a bigger investment in color for the longer term, with designer rugs and an upholstered bedhead anchoring the color scheme. Strong complimentary colors feature in cushions, which can be changed out down the track. 
Effortless on the surface, this bedroom is a study in considered style, with monochrome everything, save for the chunky throw and feature cushion reflecting the warm, dusty apricot tones. 

This bed, upholstered in natural linen at its head enjoys a beautiful color scheme of blue and mustard, anchored with bed linens and an antique chest at its foot. With its soaring, timber-lined ceiling, the room remains peaceful in all white.
This bed, bedecked with a patterned upholstered bedhead against unadorned walls, achieves maximum impact. This slate grey might otherwise have overwhelmed the space but the shocking pink dyed rug balances the effect.
Of all the rooms in your home, the one that often gets overlooked is the bedroom – and yet it's where you spend around a third of your time. We're sharing some inspirational ideas and some very different looks – but often you can work with what you have, with maybe just a few additions, to really create the bedroom of your dreams.  

Even a basic divan can be given a lift with a faux headboard to give it drama. This room is riad grande thanks to an exotic screen used as a wall hanging, although a length of rich fabric would have a similar effect. A scattering of rugs in jewel tones and a mix of richly patterned bedding and cushions deliver both style and color; the secret to successful pattern mixing is to keep to similar tones, and unite with a base note - here, white provides the link. Vintage suitcases add character, and practical storage for items such as blankets. 
So French, so fab! It's all about the bed, after all, and for sheer glamour it's hard to beat a French provincial-style frame. These are often available at surprisingly affordable prices, and if you're handy with the staple gun, upholstered versions can be updated with new fabric and trim to suit your scheme. Pair with the best quality mattress you can afford, and dress with a traditional quilt for the whole ooh-la-la experience. Pink and gold is the color way to aim for.
For an inviting beachside boudoir, look to put natural textures and sea-foam blues at the heart of the look. This scheme uses the impactful presence of a distressed timber screen to center the bed. Watery blues are calming and restful, the perfect color way for a bedroom, with wicker and jute combining with an interesting trunk- style bedside table adding character and contributing to the ocean- going feel.
Moroccan magnificence is at the heart of this bold boudoir, with gleaming metallic, rich patterns and bold colors blending beautifully for a cozy, cocooning feel. Lavish finishes, such as the inlaid bedside table; silver pendant lamp and patterned rug add interest, with the orange pouffe delivering a wake-me-up shot of color.

An afternoon with the paint pot can deliver a moody and magical feature wall to pull the focus onto the bed; go for a matt finish to disguise imperfections in the wall surface. Complement the dark backdrop with crisp whites and natural hues to warm the scheme, and let the bed linen do the color talking.
