Do you tend towards neutrals because you’re afraid of your home looking too lairy? Or do you fear your love of colour has become a little too much?
Working with colour is all about balance.
If you’re keen to get confident with colour, the best place to practice is, of course, in the bedroom— your safe haven where you can be yourself away from judging eyes.
Bedroom interior design can either be an expression of who you are or who you want to be, so we’ve put together some ideas that will inspire you to embrace colour with confidence, once and for all.
Bold and beautiful
If you love colour in your bedroom interior, the key is to choose a palette of three to four colours with one clear, dominant shade. So if you love green, choose green as your dominant colour and match it with interior decor and art that goes well with green.
To tone down your bedroom decor you can include a neutral colour like white, cream or light grey. But if you want to embrace colour in all its glory like the Candy Crush print (below) then forget neutrals altogether and choose bold on bold on bold. You can then complement the colours with the perfect bedroom wall art.
1. Green and gold
2. Candy crush
Dash of red
A splash of red works no matter what your bedroom style is. From classic to retro bedroom interiors, you can’t go wrong with this ever captivating, primary colour that will never go out of fashion.
3. Wild retro
4. Flower power
Metallic hints
Glam up your bedroom interior design by using gold, silver and copper colours. Use gold for romance and opulance and silver and smokey greys for a sleek look.
To add extra razzle dazzle, make use of some eye catching photos of nature.

6. Smoking hot
Neutral layers
Bring neutral colours, such as creams, whites, greys and stones, alive using layers, textures and artworks. Beautiful nature photography and monochromatic or patterned prints add the extra richness that your bedroom design has been longing for.
Bedroom decorating ideas: create the ultimate atmosphere by throwing down a raffia mat, adding some cool lighting and hanging some unobtrusive art.

8. So fresh
Call of the ocean
Channel your inner mermaid or merman with a gender neutral decor that will add a fun, fresh personality to a bedroom.
Blue decor comes in a multitude of shades, many of which look amazing together. Combine light blue with dark blue or mix them all together. You’ll hear the call of the ocean in no time.

10. Water world
Natural serenity
Wake up each morning and ease into bed each night with bedroom interior design that truly offers repose. Let light in with floor to ceiling windows yet sleep soundly with dark curtains that block out the light. Neutral and bare decors reflect back the natural light that encompasses the room throughout the day (or the moonlight at night), heightening the peacefulness everyone’s favourite room.
Bedroom decorating ideas: to enhance laid back living, use soft, natural tranquil art.
11. Good morning
12. Peace at last
Shades of grey
You don’t need 50 Shades of Grey to achieve greatness in the bedroom! In fact, to bring your grey or stone decor to a new level of wonder, add a dash of blue to delicately colour the bedroom’s colour scheme.
