2014 Tips for Choosing Perfect Bedroom Color Schemes

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Whether you crave a palette of bright colors or prefer a soothing scheme of neutrals for your bedroom, find inspiration from these bedrooms that showcase colors perfectly. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZKyDFp3Vr8UXbc-zAMF8zYePBu8nEATdp3mxtQXLz3nWIu480W67fwfYwts5FXrPBxQJIGN_GHAsCQV2lcanjcXCCXPJ5Tod7Vbg_3DdYGzti8hNca-uxZ7eIp3ccG2FuU0y0YYJlYOSb/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Peppy Color Scheme : Coral Orange + Aqua Blue + Latte White </b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Neutral walls and furniture in shades of similar warm white create a cloudlike backdrop for vibrant coral-orange and aqua blue. Abstract floral print shams on the bed provide the inspiration for the color scheme and the rest of the room's elements follow suit. To start your bedroom color scheme, find a pillow or bedspread with colors you love and build from there. Often, bedding comes in coordinated sets, but don't be afraid to break them up. Mix and match, or leave parts of the set out. For example, nix the bed skirt that matches the pillows and opt for a version in a solid color that blends with the rest of the bedding.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRy9AsN1QmQdz_0gH9UuOKMKAFSNKE0lPEgng-p-inPbuaqfoFIqoWVvlu_F-uaqnb-ReA-prw7bveHr3ai-CC4TWE6RMAkTUA66IpAxs5wJV6_7pNsdmMp-8rz78waN1YoP0Vp_FM-ey/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Fashion-Forward Color Scheme : Slate + Lemon + Cloud </b></div><div style="text-align: center;">The oh so fashionable color palette of gray and yellow makes a bold statement in this petite bedroom. A rich slate on the walls leans heavily towards the blue end of the gray spectrum and is the star of the scheme. Cloud-color bedding continues the gray parade, and yellow on the pillows, ottomans, and accessories brings a partly sunny vibe to the chic grays.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYfDVRKs-1OhgYJO5whfHSLu-LViJFTCe1LX4Dpe2yVBf9WP8_nwKHH-J0IbC880S-jg1AlP0kbFREUH6dyVpdL0L1AWqvt6X8dcm54fV1Nm5JeyBOjSe1koKLvC8NL6N2dk_zqAS3AjX8/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Snowy White Color Scheme : Pearl White + Cream + Black</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Evoking the look of freshly fallen snow, this cottage style bedroom combines pearly whites with softer yellow-based whites for a look that is undeniably soothing and graceful. A mirrored nightstand and oval mirror above the bed break up the blanket of white, as do hints of black.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSPfPdA5wujB-UVhzM_qpBAk4W-PKDIsmMCEGZg0jPF5v5Vkk2JFxTeGFMhrlxVIxurayU9Zz7_Y3A7wwP4GCM6Ly1Q-jo_0DuTufhDvrknFIYOrzN7d0fQoUJf-G4cqhhzw99nLuQtGDP/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Modern Color Scheme : Bright Sky Blue + Cool White + Warm Oak</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Blue is a quintessential classic, but its enduring legacy works in modern settings as well. To achieve the look, sky blue is used with crisp white as well as clean-lined furniture and accessories in this bedroom. The wall color, a shade lighter than the bedding and drapes, maintains the modern monochromatic color scheme, but pulls back the walls slightly to allow the other elements, such as the architectural bed in warm oak, to shine.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5BJQddWdHor8rryyvgU1O8E6QQpKd0gY83glBqVmIccttFbLIicHamJ2SPoFhpwRd7YIuIviBaktH47FgNKOLHlcjTrXQaTNz4kbLTsXzVwWBm-qTCC0nuPL8c3fSefnYyrtWTNRfkNal/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Classic Global Color Scheme : Poppy Red + Mink Gray</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Gray gets pulled into the excitement of red, creating a traditional bedroom alive with global-inspired motifs. Red bedding and pillows turn a simple sleigh bed into a focal point and mink gray walls temper the rich red and crisp white palette. Block and ikat prints bring global flair to the space. The curtains dial back on red and rely on a palette of brown, black, and orange, a move that acknowledges the red's presence, but seeks to not overuse the crimson hue in the space.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTDfcXpElg6MgTYEnGMwoJ3cWbq0UwS14QnmucZsygu00i6v_SKFhLfrZtg_9c9w_gkrARLqtJ2javo52r91jrTmTfjipoK-WmoY7kQBtWd5W02l9Ggz0LWtKlgMF5Kg-GzxJgW8t6vCS-/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Serene Green Color Scheme : Seafoam Green + Tidal Blue + Surf White</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">A beach inspired color scheme strays from being too "theme-y" when there is nary a beach motif in sight. In this bedroom, seafoam green and watery blues evoke a seaside look, while traditional elements, such as the upholstered window cornice, an antique chair, and graceful headboard maintain a level of sophistication.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJBaxbhyeYZFtyRY6muAe1Vr_Oem8HKGujE7Ff2F5xdeYxNTdD-JDKP7pejyZqRPoZqYt-OxUHEjtRnqe4rKGJUZxcxqDhaZDFZxB7ZoQFJ8JwG4tQ4sswXn0KFS4yQjXLxKpEMvH7Vp93/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Elegant Neutral Color Scheme : Antique Whites + Crisp White</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Forget the notion that your whites have to match. A mixed bag of neutrals can create a visually interesting space with a few simple tricks. Keep your palette of whites within the same family, so that they all share similar undertones. In this bedroom, warm whites in varying intensities color the walls, trim, and bedding. Texture and repetition also bring the palette to life. Using each color more than once makes the mixing look more intentional. Here, light mocha appears on the trim, stool cushions, and shams, while linen white colors the artwork and drapes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPR0knV-1zO7DN_K7-HKlYsKuNK7-2kK0NGsvb3Qp93BYR3-wIHpdvvPjyrvjn3ECrSNeHltZ-3z6QjFH23mVmdA_uguGdf9NxqjrLXW4hdC5G4PgPChKhAgZYpO-bnx4CgS4RgJmUCO4I/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Fresh Cottage Color Scheme : Linen White + Sunny Yellow + Dove Gray</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">White is a go to choice for bedrooms because of its soothing, simple properties. Plus, it can be interpreted as modern, traditional, cottage, or vintage. In this cheery space, the neutral goes cottage, with splashes of yellow on the bedding and plenty of style-specific accents, such as the wrought iron bed and eclectic gathering of accessories. Hints of gray keep the color palette fashion-forward.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGvotGbTnbTkWOrQuYgWCc79zgfjjre5xyjvN8-sSg5RHSxpyaxYmurZYLqwHfm5WfnHyDan1ho2Vk8jafDmjCg7DL3BURC50YtcK6wXEnLmEjUoBXJeb4zzQT-giA6tZDYrZkNAdPUNsk/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Dramatic Color Scheme : Navy Blue + Snow White + Lipstick Pink</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Dark colors equate with drama in a bedroom setting. For a more steady approach to drama, use a dark color in one large dose and let the rest of the room's elements remain bright. In this sophisticated bedroom, rich navy blue colors the walls and is a backdrop for the burlap white headboard, bench, and nightstand. Snow white bedding with lipstick pink trim and white drapes are also eye catching against the deep blue.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii__fhdywMxhe01av9gIvs564CmuxSNfKr3UZNIVIVnSBw8EHgNAwFMas38aNpueIT7Rnd3edswJPG8RH4ITgQi79Mm7m3tu-uVlPQPB2R_Xwv56L7ns6cDFFFa-dAH6KkZJL9ed4eCEa1/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Pink Panache Color Scheme : Blush Pink + Candlelight Yellow + Charcoal Black</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Pale pink grass cloth sets this room aglow and softens the angles of the vaulted ceiling. Mixing white bedding with pink sheets and shams ensures the color remains sensuous, not saccharine. Candlelight yellow tones in the artwork and a large area rug offer contrasting color, but also contribute to the glow of the room. Black brings structure to the bedroom via a curvaceous bed frame, table lamps, and the frame on the painting.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOEyem1F9gqKQ0XdiYC329HNpRd8xOdTZDRpyqjZgByOxaXyPE5sDMzliYeqPvngcmxdriuD-ZzW8BPHg8TRl7mE486cxveOsmhrw8TqpcxjN-XImZOUSpNIkWxk9RupEhD8f4gK1PuhuA/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Oceanside Color Scheme : Watercolor Blue + Sandy White</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Simple, but hardly simplistic, a color palette of two is a welcoming break from a color-saturated world. In this light-filled room, the judicious use of white reflects the incoming natural light, making the blue walls appear almost iridescent. A more saturated palette on the painting above the bed serves as a contrast point and a reminder of just how light and delicate the rest of the room is.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOd8m0BAXVih-anB5Gtrf9cUNSABPJX3fIlLQFzhbRpmkk4hkdITFl71K2XkS-UFOL6YG9DzkZYDRduwAIQTH52PWW1tVn6JfxstcEEs265K1hKPSjbqMZpwQY-VerNauPrcQNk61hSXBs/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Black & White Color Scheme : Ebony + Powder White + Pale Citron</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Black and white are anything but basic when played out in a symphony of pretty patterns and textures. White drapes soften expansive walls and high ceilings. The fabric is thin, which makes the drapes floaty, rather than bulky. In a room that gets a lot of natural light or has high ceilings, an element with a bold visual presence will anchor the room. Here, a black upholstered bed grounds the space and a white geometric pattern unites the piece to the rest of the room. When incorporating color with black and white, go with a barely there color to keep the room's emphasis on graphic elements. The muted citron walls in this room are subtle, but still add interest.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPOLmjqEEv38agFILTZ-D_VQ0R7VD7yim8d4p0yRaYRMM_AEOMFWIZpMxk5pLXAhK34qOFTgaQ_InRZ99RLon4FatxbLvu4jukt-cr_w9jrMrkwDzin-2iErL-ge4mS6w92VSkdvmIwgsO/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Natural Color Scheme : Sage Green + Bark Brown + Swan White</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Colors and motifs from nature introduce charm to this quaint bedroom. The flowering branch fabric used on the window shade and bed skirt inspire the room's palette. A coordinating stripe fabric on the sham continues the green and brown color play and an ikat pillow offers an unexpected twist in motif. The pure white duvet, trim, and lampshade offer a clean counterpoint to the bedroom's muted colors. To avoid color overload, match paint swatches to a pattern, but then use the color at the top of the swatch for your walls. Here, the wall color has similar undertones to the browns in the room's fabrics, but is several shades lighter.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOYOzZN2ig7zw9M__rejn1EYMEVwSxjb-6EF_clij4HtzjVcYFpj4RymtDQKazfUDP1AUT5Kg5EK1vpX3RSzki1249CYDvAuNZFGb0x1stm8K-U5vMjctIv-kCga16OJDCP01MIm22sTpb/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-14.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Perfectly Aged Color Scheme : Country French Blue + Antique Whites</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Capture the charm and grace of a bygone era with a palette of blue and tan in shades that appear antiqued. Keep the blues reigned in and employ a limited range of shades to maintain a sense of elegance. Here, the wall color matches the blue in the bedding and table skirt perfectly. Take a little more liberty with the whites. Using pure shades alongside shades in varying degrees of antiquing gives the room a collected old-time look. Bright white linens and freshly painted white trim indicate that the room has been maintained and freshened, while the patina on the chair and aged white plates nod to the past.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIgIiB6tissqwKDYEn8mMD-a-Cj-AxxOlZTpm363SuU3BP3Rd3bWhIkHdZQ_ul3j0SJyRskds7DWsrHHrh_N4z2SlWcy0Nd-5C6xu3z6ArwmFEvXJ4A4w7zyToD5gMmoowLNRFyWsiw-Sb/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-15.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Cozy Cool Color Scheme : Granite Gray + Down White + Grass Green</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Envelope an expansive room in a blanket of coziness with a rich, yet warm wall color. Here, a saturated gray with warm yellow undertones is the color of choice. An abundance of white contributes a modern vibe, while hints of zingy green on the headboard and chevron throw pillow inject life into the demure color scheme.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_3xTbyxRjCEAYJty-KDt2Tj5Zv2Hcs2_7TLJImk8muIMZZyhgHQ53ZvDbFD-zBN_Mzy6gnW_82Yh7p7B4ABkUl7xytW95-spZzu-5bfplFbefcvQhfnZB23d9BejajLwNy0gk3A7PO3B3/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-16.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Monochromatic Color Scheme : Taupe + Cream + Squash</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Monochromatic color schemes are poised for success when the hues stop just short of the extremes. In this bedroom, a range of taupes colors everything including the bedding, furniture, and wall color, but the palette excludes the deepest, darkest of taupes. Sticking to the light and medium range taupes focuses the color scheme for a more polished look. Squash yellow makes a cameo on throw pillows and the tan trim unites the blocks of yellow to the rest of the room's palette.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlgvX8D9FvgP_JGjwp8H9b-1KFVkOIT75HkEmm5p7SH0xH1Z4nLmmdebTgpjUfzAuHNzPFw0o94dE7OaZ8dar4TBYJUoEWG3FFInMtHCKzQSaK8PpPQ5Ysk-PxvJbAND1WrLXdTC2VRVb7/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Choosing-Perfect-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-17.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Contemporary Grace Color Scheme : Dove Gray + Tulip Pink</b> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Hints of pink bring a graceful air to a contemporary space. Gray and white patterns from the striped rug to the damask drapes and plaid wallpaper are subtle, yet add visual texture, while bright tulip pink punctuates the space. When introducing a bright accent color, use it at least three times in the room so it flows seamlessly.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

The curtains dial back on red and rely on a palette of brown, black, and orange, a move that acknowledges the red's presence, but seeks to not overuse the crimson hue in the space.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicFYN6OQb7rnn_fdOSLw5S_PkFVdDqA2atBFD2yBWLQBJB7wN269PGfMdLelSh1a0eWJWk8vpbM8Jy08I5y7QVSXA9JLwFgmDbGc3JLwYcK1fie_tJ-Ms_J-fBhag2C273c5zRpTPZcyo/s640/2013-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Serene Green Color Scheme </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Seafoam Green + Tidal Blue + Surf White </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">A beach-inspired color scheme strays from being too "theme-y" when there is nary a beach motif in sight. In this bedroom, seafoam green and watery blues evoke a seaside look, while traditional elements, such as the upholstered window cornice, an antique chair, and graceful headboard maintain a level of sophistication.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTqWoBlfVxqmDe_QcEqIR7grqf6IYa1BUztOBrfBa5aI1MvWqb-3Eh_pckIJ16SrtlhiRWXQ5vyt9tLJ6qSn2Qi4emzsvr1p8oAiXhB3SHvaL7eWMk2mpIZd7DsKcMlLE1SmunKPX5Xj4/s640/2013-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Elegant Neutral Color Scheme </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Antique Whites + Crisp White </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Forget the notion that your whites have to match. A mixed bag of neutrals can create a visually interesting space with a few simple tricks. Keep your palette of whites within the same family, so that they all share similar undertones. In this bedroom, warm whites in varying intensities color the walls, trim, and bedding. Texture and repetition also bring the palette to life. Using each color more than once makes the mixing look more intentional. Here, light mocha appears on the trim, stool cushions, and shams, while linen white colors the artwork and drapes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwBOaURBeOb6UOB56n_u7oK9FcQA5MyR3Sls4MJkXxnIjgJVttFbVt35QSKhRecN2BZvg3Ga93h4t4T41V_rZYsmgH6zd1zlYEsvaMNHB6GX5jSzFJ0zENv403NeqElluJqjPlIqahhuo/s640/2013-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Fresh Cottage Color Scheme </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Linen White + Sunny Yellow + Dove Gray </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">White is a go-to choice for bedrooms because of its soothing, simple properties. Plus, it can be interpreted as modern, traditional, cottage, or vintage. In this cheery space, the neutral goes cottage, with splashes of yellow on the bedding and plenty of style specific accents, such as the wrought iron bed and eclectic gathering of accessories. Hints of gray keep the color palette fashion-forward.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXCy5biUwdFzUqKwEhnsfLMlS1qCr04ExjCjCCuOvztO9VD00TxgweMOJPje9W1Vcu8GIKkTUpoRT_HEwLVRpUF2JLWY-o__BTYZgc4kwdiVauzQ8MMwMcPS9-wrjXbpVBZoi0awB0edg/s640/2013-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Dramatic Color Scheme </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Navy Blue + Snow White + Lipstick Pink </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Dark colors equate with drama in a bedroom setting. For a more steady approach to drama, use a dark color in one large dose and let the rest of the room's elements remain bright. In this sophisticated bedroom, rich navy blue colors the walls and is a backdrop for the burlap white headboard, bench, and nightstand. Snow white bedding with lipstick pink trim and white drapes are also eye-catching against the deep blue.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQFts_dxQKMDke68uBt5Pomu1xbwlMMvPrdaAtsmwhIJg46OjmyGO_rArxITHEFmJGE3C32Jwczh-C2gB4buGYEmz-UEMP5p0eU4XkbDmqsvI18k9BHLF9KFP8-62zU3Q2G8aziPKUzFA/s640/2013-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Oceanside Color Scheme </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Watercolor Blue + Sandy White </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Simple, but hardly simplistic, a color palette of two is a welcoming break from a color-saturated world. In this light-filled room, the judicious use of white reflects the incoming natural light, making the blue walls appear almost iridescent. A more saturated palette on the painting above the bed serves as a contrast point and a reminder of just how light and delicate the rest of the room is.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi3XDk8cobU9o2WacFSG-LB9KGCTqy5ElGzd3v-ETW7jx0KuxhhfD8ItrWy17uybESEeVJDMJUeFs95oQlRYR8MiSuEG-IA8T5nziZ-_uC9q4pTmbbkkrgADNnBExTsSM9thEqtfnGP4k/s640/2013-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Black & White Color Scheme </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Ebony + Powder White + Pale Citron </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Black and white are anything but basic when played out in a symphony of pretty patterns and textures. White drapes soften expansive walls and high ceilings. The fabric is thin, which makes the drapes floaty, rather than bulky. In a room that gets a lot of natural light or has high ceilings, an element with a bold visual presence will anchor the room. Here, a black upholstered bed grounds the space and a white geometric pattern unites the piece to the rest of the room. When incorporating color with black and white, go with a barely-there color to keep the room's emphasis on graphic elements. The muted citron walls in this room are subtle, but still add interest.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxJAN8zL_frMkRj7FFZ-nqyOpB9wwBz038_7N9ZINfdMzEFpHsrUptZRZzc2UOWkLEAMPrfWsJOwZkKluw2pBF6qd6J6QEn2Ja9wJOVvJSdlIlo5Ldj6Byh8_6BPJoZ_QgXzlMHlyiAFk/s640/2013-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Natural Color Scheme </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Sage Green + Bark Brown + Swan White </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Colors and motifs from nature introduce charm to this quaint bedroom. The flowering branch fabric used on the window shade and bed skirt inspire the room's palette. A coordinating stripe fabric on the sham continues the green and brown color play and an ikat pillow offers an unexpected twist in motif. The pure white duvet, trim, and lampshade offer a clean counterpoint to the bedroom's muted colors. To avoid color overload, match paint swatches to a pattern, but then use the color at the top of the swatch for your walls. Here, the wall color has similar undertones to the browns in the room's fabrics, but is several shades lighter.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu9dE8mHIrYHDyfOvY3UeLAKwhXdh9ewxLxvPIOrKt1vKdQSlznEusT9RcJyfIi7_kKTX_VIhv47vyB6VGikAbSCep4tNdnPAA4xYTr3pOgieoRDRCQHjuHn4IJ4s52U8BGPZs6YR2Pq4/s640/2013-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Perfectly Aged Color Scheme </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Country French Blue + Antique Whites </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Capture the charm and grace of a bygone era with a palette of blue and tan in shades that appear antiqued. Keep the blues reigned in and employ a limited range of shades to maintain a sense of elegance. Here, the wall color matches the blue in the bedding and table skirt perfectly. Take a little more liberty with the whites. Using pure shades alongside shades in varying degrees of antiquing gives the room a collected old-time look. Bright white linens and freshly painted white trim indicate that the room has been maintained and freshened, while the patina on the chair and aged white plates nod to the past.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiujxefPySZ0UuyU4vQRGJD13Uge3ym3Xccx_HHwMV4SdYne0ZHfUVRNlYZ6ecWLBHAtIL8mi09Q6STz9035T7mFKv7F53VpoRit89cBAwjpMdmsDEwZ-qV7tOXzIeW_FsA80LWJkj3Ejw/s640/2013-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-14.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Monochromatic Color Scheme </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Taupe + Cream + Squash </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Monochromatic color schemes are poised for success when the hues stop just short of the extremes. In this bedroom, a range of taupes colors everything including the bedding, furniture, and wall color, but the palette excludes the deepest, darkest of taupes. Sticking to the light and medium range taupes focuses the color scheme for a more polished look. Squash yellow makes a cameo on throw pillows and the tan trim unites the blocks of yellow to the rest of the room's palette.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLLiyKgHajUiY51gc8cHGvDPIkC6AB2kgqoELOTGLp4Jqpa8E-F-SUiznOiFqxyvpeOFX217vxBWxlU8OHvxQeLckuFBYIUvN0A0UbRpQGOeBI1ikJ7rfBla9q5FiyCDUD9USNr9EFzIw/s640/2013-Bedroom-Color-Schemes-15.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Contemporary Grace Color Scheme </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Dove Gray + Tulip Pink </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hints of pink bring a graceful air to a contemporary space. Gray and white patterns -- from the striped rug to the damask drapes and plaid wallpaper -- are subtle, yet add visual texture, while bright tulip pink punctuates the space. When introducing a bright accent color, use it at least three times in the room so it flows seamlessly.<br /><br /></div></div>

The room's color scheme was designed to blend with its existing woodwork, which features a warm mahogany stain. To temper the small bathroom's predominantly dark color scheme, the vanity features a furniturelike, open construction.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfmKK8l-iktAkq0iLrBWtcpBKX6YBsre2w-Sb9zOh3iEgWCYjO03cBJkHJGkBDKfyDSIT8-T5ZWprxt5tL_iNwSP6e2l8TJS0vlCNGagf1fwnF_dje_zjBJ4pyqFsj9HQU7T9en1EVoQe0/s640/Colorful-Bathrooms-2013-Decorating-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Raspberry + Black</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">A cheerful pink hue on the upper portion of this bathroom's walls lends an unexpected splash of color to the predominantly neutral scheme.

In this trendy bathroom, the light wood vanity cabinet and green hand towels both sport yellow undertones that pick up on the soft yellow wall color. The upper portion of one wall was covered with wallpaper that features a birch tree motif, which plays in to the relaxing vibe created through the wall color.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6x2qGM1JSB7oE_1YJUGxAWrMwfvW7dmxdR6MWYQpUqvKbp3AVF2HnWXSkrj_V9E9rOmWQlRDH9y3fUYq3Fwg2Wx3ti-gMYdYcGYOqMe0BgGOCnPytIQ1jfctmkzMu5bDbVfCvkULkfEEt/s640/Colorful-Bathrooms-2013-Decorating-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Powder Blue + Buff Beige + White</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">The warm neutral on the upper portion of the walls helps soften the crisp white beaded board that's used along the lower walls in this bathroom. Pale blue accents featured in the towels, the shower curtain, and a trio of hand painted wall canvases add hints of sophisticated color.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXl-pXBRfj-_xAf2RckXED5YsedEmSikrZ3mGA60h8wbvTUYQbpSYJsYSQCsA0HBSPfz8CQ00PxZGm_ucRprrE7qOlQ0b-al6WkuJufrRPYbxtvFA13rEiWPuqX6A_6c4zb_5YZLU0PugY/s640/Colorful-Bathrooms-2013-Decorating-Ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Dove Gray + Gold</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Metallic gray walls create a dramatic backdrop in this regal master bathroom. Here, the luxurious Carrara marble countertop on the walnut vanity base mirrors the soothing gray on the walls. The shimmering gold mirror frame above the vanity subtly bounces light from the nearby window, echoing the room's gleaming chrome fixtures.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnbu3pBlIZDqHIq3RKDrfs2mkGSMvzgYXdsG4gnHokn1N-w9I9007xerJdhP8OIJp4SrHzovwfEKv8h2jA7SIdoKaj-4A4fm0xh-2tTL37ypDnytepr_TyIzu1vahhwDBfTsTJewvbRVKm/s640/Colorful-Bathrooms-2013-Decorating-Ideas-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Pistachio + Baby Blue + Yellow</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">This tiny bathroom has big style thanks to an analogous color scheme of green, yellow, and blue. To create the illusion of more height, the walls were outfitted with narrow plank beaded board and the ceiling was painted a soft blue hue. Decorative elements scattered throughout the space, such as the window treatments, hand towels, and sconce shades, incorporate splashes of green and yellow.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHdG7LjYfGkgez6gd3g_R9c6sYfzGEFlaFM9Z21ZtJPgNatatZZFHbvp3rGJvHOj4YAxpXs7NbIVXvc49NYd08Qj4o5WwajkDIJQDwh3py-GK6SXwgC_VElwo38mMhkojuiFQmQDn8-ltu/s640/Colorful-Bathrooms-2013-Decorating-Ideas-14.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Aqua + Spring Green + White</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">In this bathroom, a built in hutch stands out as something truly special, thanks to a coat of fresh green paint. Nearby, a striped shower curtain features a similar green as well as a cheerful blue. The walls in the bathroom were left white to allow easy transitions as the homeowners' decorating tastes change.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
