Bedroom Colour Combos That Soothe Your Soul
Learn the secret of using a neutral base to bring the colours in your sleeping quarters to life
Bedrooms are the one area of the home we can rely on for solace, quiet time and sleeping, so it pays to think through which colours are the most soothing for your sensibilities. Some people prefer gentle tones to lull them into a state of relaxation, while others prefer to use splashes of strong colour to bring a little joy to their sleep sanctuaries. Draw inspiration from the masters and see how a neutral base of white or black can work wonders in making a bedroom the blissful escape zone you want it to be.
Black and yellow
It’s a confident couple that can incorporate yellow into a bedroom, but this one has been done with ease thanks to a little helper called black. Grey and white also come into play to temper the citrus brights beautifully.

Black and pink
A colour-charged bedroom could be more to your liking than softer hues; it all depends on what works for you. Setting the brightest of bright pink against black adds a chic edge to this bedroom.

Grey and white
Pairing soft grey with crisp white linen can create a soothing effect that’s just right for sleeping, but don’t forget to add interest elsewhere if you’re holding back on colour. This bedroom is rich in a variety of textures that make it just as much a feast for the eyes – think smooth metallic (the bedside lamp bases) as well as rough (carpet, bedside tables, bedheads and bed linen) for maximum effect.
