Your bedroom is the one place in your home that can be distinctly yours. Whether you are decorating your own, your kids’ or yours and your partners’ consider adding a fun touch with two shades of paint colours to your bedroom walls.
The perfect pairing: Which 2 colours work well in bedrooms?
If you are into cool, sophisticated tones and want a neutral bedroom that feels crisp upon entry, you would do well to choose colours from a blue palette. Navy or royal blue pair beautifully with baby blue or cream. These colours can be used for teenagers’ rooms or guest rooms with little added decor. Blues and greens also provide interesting transitions and give you lots of room to play with themed decor.
For those who prefer warmer tones, painting your walls shades of bronze, amber or even deep reds are perfect for on-trend interiors. These rich hues are the ultimate base for layering contrasts, textures and lighting options. Think of a red wall paired with patterned velvet or satin wallpaper, plush headboards and dimmer switches for your overhead lighting or bedside lamps.
The most attractive bedroom wall colours: create a peaceful oasis
When deciding on a two-tone bedroom you must first pick your primary and complimentary colours. For a monochromatic look, you can select paints from the same spectrum and for a bedroom that stands out you can opt for bold opposing colours that work well together.
- Yellow and white: symbolise a sunny disposition her.
- Orange and cream: create an opulent, yet modern feel
- Light grey and black: for the sleek individualist
- Pink and sage: a traditional, warm embrace
- Black and white: for a 5-star hotel feel
- Gold and blue: where luxury meets cosiness
- Olive green and red: evoke passion and energy
- White and lavender: for a calming, spa-like essence
- Brown and beige: popular neutrals that never go out of style
The colours you choose impact how your room looks and feels. For the illusion of space, it is wise to paint the wall behind your bed in a darker or deeper shade and keep the surrounding walls lighter. This draws focus to the bed and centre of the room while allowing the rest of the room to shine with your choice of decor. Mirrored cupboards also save space and reflect the paint you’ve chosen well.
If you are renovating your bedroom, now is a good time to look at selecting your bedroom wardrobes carefully. Choose darker materials for a classic look and lighter colours for a fresh aesthetic. Your paint colours can add drama or calm down a room depending on how you dress it up, so consider all adjacent decor factors.
Muted or colourful tones: play to your personality
Baby rooms and kid rooms are always winners when painted in pretty pastel colours. Think lemon and green, pink and white or light blue and orange. Kids can benefit from having two-tone rooms by allowing them artistic freedom to doodle on a black wall painted to look like a chalkboard, or colourful mural motifs depicting animals, flowers or their favourite cartoon characters.
For adults, look to your personal style and the colours you choose to wear. This will give you a simple transition when picking two paint colours for your bedroom.
