It’s time to redecorate your bedroom. But what colour palette to use? Most people will gravitate to a neutral palette. And why not? Neutrals exude classic style. Or have you considered colour for your bedroom? Why not make your personal space as one-of-a-kind as you are? Read on for some thoughts on the pros of neutrals and colours – and how maybe you can have the best of both.
The Beauty of Neutrals
- Always Classic. Neutrals are always in style and always appropriate. There’s an elegance about neutrals that is chic and graceful. Neutrals are the little black dress of décor palettes.
- Never Overwhelming. Colours, especially strong shades like red or cobalt, start out exciting but can become overpowering very quickly. The subtle beauty of neutrals is enduring.
- Easy to Add Contrast. Having a neutral bedroom doesn’t mean colour is a total no-no. It’s easy to add a few pops of your favourite hues in accessories or even a single standout piece of furniture. What’s more, a neutral-only room can still have contrast – it doesn’t have to be all grey and beige. Black, white, dark taupes and soft ivories all offer variety.
- Accentuate Other Elements. When colour isn’t too bold, other aspects of your décor can shine – like upholstery details, texture and furnishings, for example.
- Versatile. Whether you like modern, traditional, urban chic, cottage, bohemian or another décor style, neutrals always fit the bill. A neutral palette is wonderfully adaptable.
The Joy of Colour
- Express Your Individuality. Are you glamourous, cheery, adventurous, or romantic? Whether soft pastels, vibrant brights or opulent jewel tones – let your bedroom colour scheme reflect who you really are!
- Intimate and Cozy. Colour enables you create intimacy and coziness more easily than neutrals. Rich colours make a room instantly feel welcoming and warm, encouraging conversation and relaxation.
- Create an Experience. Yellow energizes, green promotes concentration, red stimulates, blue soothes…you can use colour to create precisely the bedroom mood you want.
- Make Nothing into Something. Colour adds life and charm. An old piece of furniture, a room lacking architectural detail, a boring door – add vivid colour and they become delightful!
- Wake Up Happy. Why wake up to the monotony of beige? A colourful bedroom invigorates you from the moment you start your day – infusing you with optimism!
What’s your preference? It’s difficult to choose. But here’s a solution. Hues like dark brown and navy act as neutrals even though they are colours. They provide the excitement of colour with the quiet understatement of a neutral. The perfect compromise? You decide!
