1. GIVE RED AND PINK A GROWN UP TWIST
Red and pink are a contemporary, on-trend combo and inject just a touch of grey make this scheme feel slightly more sophisticated and grown-up. A combination of pink and grey with a shot of deep rouge in this master bedroom feels soft and inviting but with a fresh, modern edge. A nice twist on the classic pink and grey bedroom schemes we see so much of.
2. TONE DOWN YELLOW
Yellow is such an uplifting color, bringing brightness to any size or aspect of room. It can work as a bedroom paint idea on all four walls, but for a more subtle look, opt for a feature wall or bring into those sunny yellow hues with a headboard. The soft, muted yellow works so well in this space with the baby pinks and layers of blue – a fun color scheme that still feels soft and serene.
3. CREATE A STRIKING LOOK WITH A MONOCHROME WHITE SCHEME
Sometimes no color can be just as striking as lots of color, as this all-white modern bedroom proves. The lack of color makes such a statement, it's so decidedly one color that it feels really bold, so far from boring. But there's interest in there too, the subtle texture of the wooden floor, the slubby linen of the bedsheets, the ruffles of the valance pooling on the floor. And there are shapes too, that almost look like silhouettes against the white – the sculptural outline of the side table, the curves of the chandelier, the sweeping canopy.
4. PAIR FOREST GREEN WITH LAYERS OF NEUTRAL TONES
Green, with its known calming yet invigorating qualities, is the perfect color for a bedroom. And in certain shades, green can almost work as a neutral, when paired with creams, beiges, and whites it doesn't stand out as a pop of color as say more primary colors would, it just adds an earthiness to the palette.
5. GO FOR AN ON TREND WARM BEIGE
Beiges were once seen as the blandest of the neutral shades, however, these warmer, more slubby tones are a huge color trend for 2024, and work particularly well in bedrooms as they guarantee that comforting, cocooning feel.
6. BE BOLD WITH VIVID GREENS AND PRIMARY HUES
'Green harnesses the power of growth in nature, but by choosing this shade you’ll also evoke feelings of reassurance, rest and security. It's an incredibly powerful colour to put the mind at ease which is why it has been on trend this year as people seek to create a calm atmosphere in their homes amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic.' explains, Rob Abrahams, Co-Founder of COAT Paints.
7. GROUND PALE BLUE WITH A DEEP PINK
Despite their nursery decor reputation, pale pastel shades can work in grown-up spaces, as you can see in this really chic and quirky bedroom. The key to getting the look right is simple – plenty of pattern and texture. Now we are necessarily talk anything too crazy, just introduce some subtle prints and fabrics so you don't have lots of solid blocks of pastel shades.
8. DECORATE WITH EARTHY TONES
Deep ochre yellows, moss tones and deep teal greens all come together in this bedroom so create such an inviting and yet sophisticated color palette. And the accents of gold bring that warmth, adding a touch of glamour amongst all those nature inspired hues.
9. WARM UP WHITE WITH BARELY THERE PINKS
If you like an all-white scheme but it feels a bit harsh and cold in your space, take notes from this bedroom color idea. Stick to those much-loved whites with the larger pieces of furniture and your bed linen but add just a slight warmth by contrasting all that crisp white with a really pale pink-toned beige.
10. EMBRACE THE TREND FOR RED
Red is having a bit of a resurgence at the moment, after seemingly have disappeared from the decorating world, it's making a comeback in a more muted and earthy way. While it may sound bold to cover all your bedroom walls in such a brave color, pick the right red and it can create a warm, cocooning space that doesn't overwhelm.
