A soft approach to colour in the bedroom using furniture and textiles
Say it with a colour accent
Rugs and bed textiles are your canvas for creating a solid-colour accent without overwhelming the space. You create the rules, but think about proportion, tone and context. Set colours against white walls for a pared-back palette that creates a calm, balanced look.
Painting with pattern
Florals, graphic shapes or stripes – patterned textiles are a simple and effective way to add colour and depth. Try mixing motifs, combining big and bold with small and delicate, or layering a stripe with a solid colour. Show that you’re not afraid to get creative.
A little colour goes a long way
If a large expanse of colour is out of your comfort zone, try creating highlights with accessories. Pick eye- catching colourways of IKEA PS table clock or NÄVLINGE desk lamp, or display a few sprigs of SMYCKA artificial flowers. It doesn’t take much to add a nod to colour without tipping into rainbow territory.
