Bedrooms
are important. They’re private spaces where
you spend about a third of your life. They’re
where you go for private time, to rejuvenate
mind, body and spirit.
And where you awake to start each day.
When planning color schemes, aim to create a
warm, mood-enhancing look. A room that whispers
relax, take it easy, wind down. |

Whatever your individual taste in décor, the atmosphere in your bedroom should be harmonious.
Base your color scheme around colors, shades and textures that make you feel calm and secure. |

TRADITIONAL
color palettes tend to be muted, and range
from soft, airy blues to deep, rich browns.
With these kinds of colors, it’s easy
to create restful, serene and comfortable
bedrooms.
Tip
Pay particular
attention to the ceiling when decorating
your bedroom. Experiment with painting
it a contrasting color, and consider adding
stenciling or decorative moldings. |

MODERN
bedroom colors are as clean as the furniture
the rooms contain. Keep hues pure but
soft, and use varying textures to add
interest. Create contrasts by pairing
together simple shapes such as circles
and squares.
Tip
Choose beds
and other furniture for their sculptural
as well as functional values. Limit accessories
to a minimum. |

COUNTRY
décor in bedrooms should be inviting and
relaxing, evoking a simple, informal atmosphere.
While palettes may range from cool lavenders
to warm yellows, in all cases they should
have natural overtones, and be restful
and comfortable to live with.
Tip
For an added
touch of country charm, faux finish the
walls and/or ceiling, to produce a soft
textured look. |

CASUAL
bedrooms are eclectic and artfully balanced.
Use a common theme—color, texture or shape—to
pull together diverse elements in harmony.
Tip
For a serene
atmosphere in your bedroom, choose colors
that while soft and muted are similar
in tone. Employ texture for interesting
contrasts. |

Your bedroom is not a public room, designed to receive visitors. It’s just for you and those close to you.
Create an individual retreat by using the style and colors that reflect who you are. |
