Tips for Creating a Colorful Bedroom

Designer Erinn Valencich commented that she sees the bed as the center of the room, so she started there. If you’re happy with your bed, take your cues from it. What color is it? What style? Is it ornate? Simple? Grand or compact?

Taking a look at the bed and using it to build the flavor in the rest of the room will give you a cohesive, thoughtful room.

The green in the designed room was the chosen accent color, so it was painted on the wall behind the bed and on an adjacent wall. Careful not to overdue it, though! Find a few small accents in the color of your choice—like small pillows or vases—and leave everything else a bit neutral.

Bright colors can get taxing on someone’s eye, so balance is the key to injecting bright colors into your bedroom.

It’s okay to mix something modern with something more traditional! In fact, it can help a room look much more elegant and comfortable. If your bed is large and ornate, opt for simple designs when it comes to accessories like picture frames, chairs, and side tables.

Likewise, if your bed is small and compact, a few more decorative pieces throughout the room can provide the perfect combination to make your room feel unique.
