If the living room is the centre of the home, the bedroom is certainly its heart and soul. While you may use it only for a small portion of a day, do not forget that the bedroom is the place where you calm yourself and get ready for the challenges of the next day. Consequently, the bedroom décor has to suit this need and your overall mood and temperament.
Here is a guide to choosing bedroom colours. Do not forget to personalise the décor with custom wall art and pillows, to bring in your own style.
Blue and white
There could be no other tranquil colour combination like blue and white. This colour scheme never goes out of fashion. A lot of calm and a little bit of elegance make a perfect recipe for a comfortable and beautiful bedroom. Choose the bedspread colour wisely, to make it complement with the wall colours.

Soft pink
Home owners usually prefer pink for the children’s room or for the nursery but there are many subtle shades of this colour, which can also be used for the bedroom, provided you opt for upholstery and lighting options that complement this décor. Usually, gold scones will go well with soft pink tones. You can experiment with other warmer tones, to give it a grand look.

Beige and cream
Like blue and white, beige and cream is another classic combination which can never go out of trend. Both of these colours, when used in bright shades, make your space look bigger. If there is a lot of natural light in your bedroom, you can use nice drapes and curtains in darker shades of beige, to block excess light, if you want to rest during the day. For furnishings, you can use rustic wood furniture and wall art in contrasting colours.

Light green and orange
These are some of the contemporary colour shades for bedroom décor, which you can use if you want a colourful vibe. You can use a combination of both or any one of these, to decorate your bedroom. Choose furnishings wisely and avoid too many bright elements in your bedroom. Instead, opt for contrasting elements. Use drapes and wall arts of subtle colours to keep your bedroom décor balanced and tastefully aligned to the common theme of your home.

Black and white
While and black is an unconventional choice for the bedroom. Nevertheless, people who are more open to experimenting with such colours, to bring in a unique look, can start with the guest bedroom. Alternatively, you can paint your bedroom wall white and use contrasting bedspread, drapes and curtains, which are easier to change than the wall paint. This way, you can experiment with different colours other than black.
