Decorating with Colors and High End Bedroom Furniture

Do you love red but think that it overpowers a room? Think blue is beautiful but might be too cool? Whatever your favorite color is, you can make it work in your bedroom. Here are some guidelines to getting them right.

Decorating with Red

• Paint one wall in red while keeping the others neutral to balance the color intensity.

• Add accents of red in accessories and fabrics, leaving the remainder in neutral and black to create contrast.

• Accessorize with stylized patterns to add detail to such boldly-colored room.

• Go with dark wood furniture like the Summerfield 6 Drawer Dresser by Powell. This will contrast the red and continue the sophisticated feel of the room.

• Choose light-colored curtains and flooring to lift the scheme. Your curtains can be plain or have a simple print.

Decorating with Blue

• Go with a deep aqua color for the walls because this is a warm shade of the color.

• Create balance with a piece of furniture in a darker hue like the Teen Trends Navy Blue Storage Locker by Powel, and then contrast others in off-white.

• Use accessories with accents of denim blue and taupe to create a richness of color in your scheme.

• Team up with dark wood furniture to add depth.

• Add small hints of bright pink as a highlight or accent color. Fresh flowers would be a great idea.

Decorating with Orange

• Orange can be overbearing. But you can keep it chic with a paler tone on the wall, and then neutral for the others.

• Use framed prints to add orange to your walls in small doses.

• Go for a mixture of chocolate-brown and bright orange accessories.

• With a strong and contrasting color, a patterned carper with a light background will break up the color blocks.

• High end bedroom furniture works best in this scheme.

• Choose soft furnishings in orange and pick a bold pattern to bring a stylish touch to the scheme while adding detail.

Decorating with Purple

• Because purple absorbs light, it may look darker than it is. Therefore, avoid wall-to-wall blocks of purple and use a feature pattern that combines purple with lighter colors.

• Go with accessories in the same purple hue as your wall, and a slightly darker tone, mixed with bright pinks.

• Add white or off-white areas to add a brighter note.

• Choose mirrored furniture to reflect light and add an opulent feel. The Turner Contemporary New York Style Limited Space Mirror/Wardrobe by Adesso incredibly doubles as storage space.

• Pick fabrics with subtle shimmers to add depth, like gorgeous silks and plush velvets.
