Turn your bedchamber into a colourful cocoon with these invigorating combinations
Has your bedroom turned into a sleepy nest that lacks inspiration? If you answered that in the affirmative, it’s likely that your walls play a big role in the matter. As your private oasis, your bedroom is instrumental in raising your spirits, revitalising your mind and rejuvenating your body, and choosing the perfect combination of colours can be the first step to setting the right mood in your boudoir. With these five combination palettes, bid farewell to your vanilla walls and embrace the magic of colour.
2. Yellow and orange
If you prefer summery hues, whip up a sunny sanctum with buttery yellow and burnt orange. Paint the twin tones on adjacent walls in the manner shown here.

3. Scarlet and aqua
If you gravitate equally towards both sides of the spectrum, balance fire and water with scarlet and aqua.
Consider an exposed red brick wall as your centrepiece and paint the surrounding walls in refreshing tones of white and blue to douse the intensity. Seek inspiration from this bedroom by Studiovistara.

Tip: If you’re struggling to marry two colours, use the ombré technique to give your walls a double serving of hues, one shading into the other.
4. Beau blue and beige
Pastel palettes can bring a sense of calm and tranquility to a bedroom.
Duck-egg blue, beau blue and blue-grey are soothing and oh-so-relaxing. Pair your shade of choice with a tone of beige or brown to invite some earthiness to your toned aesthetic.
Tip: Think beyond paint when creating a colour harmony. You can use panels, laminates and wallpaper to showcase a textural contrast, and to lend detail and depth.

5. Black and white
A black and white shell can lend an edgy vibe. Using black in interiors is an acquired taste but if done right, it is unmatched in its crisp sophistication.
If you choose to have all-black walls, create a coved ceiling, like this one by Sanjyt Syngh, to allow for an area of sparkling white as an antidote to the overpowering blackness.
