Turn any boring room into a relaxing one.
After a while, you may feel it's time to update your bedroom. A fresh coat of paint and new accessories are a quick and inexpensive way to renovate your bedroom. One thing to keep in mind is that your bedroom should act like a sanctuary where you can rejuvenate yourself. According to Decorating Secrets, there are certain colors you should consider for your sanctuary.
Wall Colors
Before picking out what color you want, think about how you want your room to "feel." Decorator Secrets suggests sticking with neutrals that reflect a soothing feeling. For an earthy, relaxing feel, paint your walls brown--even a dark brown. If you're not ready for a dark brown room, choose sand or beige colors. These colors exhibit a comforting feeling. For a spa-like feel, choose a green color. Green walls will make you feel comfortable and at ease. However, if you do your makeup in your bedroom, be aware that some shades of green will make your skin tone--especially those with cool tones--look unflattering. For a bright, sunny feel, paint your room a light, butter yellow color. This color will not be too bright, but it will still make you feel warm and happy.
Bedspreads/Comforters
Add some color in a neutral room with a new bedspread or comforter. If your room is brown, select bright blue or green bedding to add color and a relaxing feeling. Use your bedding to tone down color, as well. For a sunny yellow room, choose cream or winter white bedding--along with window curtains--to make the room less bright. For rooms painted greens and blues, select brown or cream bedding to add a soft hint of color. To add some more fun into your room, choose patterned bedding.
Accessories
Use accessories to pull in color and tone it down. For brown and neutral rooms, consider hanging a neutral piece of art with pops of red in it. Replace your lampshade with a colored one, and change your frames to a lighter or darker color brown. For colored rooms, consider reprinting your favorite pictures to black and white, then placing them in a glossy black frame. This will add interest in your room without making it too "loud." Add some drama to a pale yellow room with pops of burgundy. Select a burgundy lampshade and other burgundy accessories. This will add color to the room and complement the light yellow nicely.
