Take a page from the hot designers when choosing your bedroom color scheme.
Decorating any room is a pleasure that helps to renew the look of your home, which is especially true when applied to bedrooms. Using the hot "designer" colors, like purple, blue and green, can modernize your room with very little effort. Bedrooms should be sanctuaries away from stresses in a busy life and should reflect that mood whenever possible.
Purple Perfection
Paintings that reflect nature add a soothing accent to any bedroom.
A wide variety of shades of purple range from a soft, barely there violet to a jewel-tone amethyst. Using a selection of purples can add a quiet elegance to a bedroom. For example, choose a subtle shade that has just a hint of purple tone to the paint for the walls of your room. Accent the room with white furniture and paint the moldings, doors and windows to match. Add accessories to highlight the of the walls. Vibrant purple pillows that match a bedspread holding many shades on a bed with a white headboard will become the focal point and draw attention as soon as someone enters the room. Try to use the same tonal values in the room so that the colors complement each other and create a pleasing palate. To add visual excitement, frame some photos or paintings in black or silver. Nature paintings that have purple flowers like lilacs or iris will make soothing accents for the walls.
Sophisticated Blue
Tones of blue can reflect a soothing and sophistication to any bedroom. Combine subtle more muted shades of blue with gray and black accents and touches of silver for a clean, modern look. Paint the walls with a light gray-blue color, and add accessories in black iron or silver to set it off. White or dark gray curtains for the windows will add depth. Keep it simple for that clean look, eliminating any extra furniture or clutter to keep the airy feel to the room.
Nature's Favorite Green
No matter the season, green reigns supreme on the color chart. Everywhere you look there is some shade of green. From sage green to dark forest, pairing green with earth-tone colors will create a bedroom that you will want to spend time in. Combine a sage green wall with earthy tones of brown and a hint of rusty red. Or go for the spa-like look, and combine a pale teal wall with filmy curtains of white and some strategically placed tropical plants. Add pale blond wood or glass accents to keep that soft, tranquil look.
