8 Refreshing Wall & Almirah Colour Combinations

1. Brown almirah with a multihued statement wall
When choosing hues for the bedroom, it is important to decide what you want to highlight and what not. When a room is full of too many bright hues, it is distracting and no one element gets the limelight. If you have a beautifully painted wall, like in this bedroom, a brown wooden almirah works well in a supporting role.

2. Powder-blue almirah with a white wall
Blue and white is a combination that looks fresh, clean and soothing – a good palette to have in a restful place like the bedroom. The wooden chair adds a subtle touch of warmth to the cool space.

Tip: Want to give your steel almirah a fresh look? Consider painting it. Pull out all the drawers and wipe the exterior surface clean. Use a primer that prevents rust on metal and choose a special spray paint that is made just for painting on metal. Allow the paint to dry (read the instructions on the can carefully about the right amount of time needed for the paint to dry). When the paint is completely dry, put all the cabinet drawers back.

Here’s why you should choose blue for the bedroom

3. White almirah with a pink wall
It can be a real challenge to make a small bedroom seem large with all its furniture and accessories. In a case like this, a white almirah would work well to make the space look roomy and calm (also because white reflects the most light and gives the feeling of expansiveness). Take cues from this bedroom and select a light pastel pink for the wall to complement the white almirah and to add a small dose of colour.

4. Pink, yellow, blue almirahs with a grey wall
Why settle for one almirah colour when you can inject drama into your bedroom with colour blocks on the wardrobe? The neutral grey wall paint helps balance the pastel pink, yellow and blue on the cupboards.

5. White almirah with white wall
The two wardrobes and the storage above them seem to merge into the white walls, making the entire bedroom seem spacious and airy. Since white reflects maximum light, it makes space look bright throughout the day, as is evident in this picture.

Tip: One way to create the illusion of space in a room is to choose a mirror or some other reflective surface for the almirah, such as a glossy lacquer finish. The reflection helps add a subtle sense of expanded space.

6. Orange almirah with an orange wall
When you have large wardrobes, consider cutting down their visual bulkiness by painting them the same colour as the walls. Here, the almirahs seem to merge into the wall and look like one seamless unit. Plus, the high-energy colour orange fills the bedroom with cheer and fun.

Tip: In a small bedroom, there is no reason that storage has to be limited to a single standalone wardrobe. Consider customised designs that run from wall to wall. Just like in the image above, the almirahs can be the same shade as the wall to make them look visually lighter.

7. Black almirah with a white wall
The classic black-and-white wall and almirah colour combination is hard to ignore, where both colours claim their own focus and importance in the room. The monotone palette effortlessly infuses style and sophistication into this bedroom; it also helps create a clear demarcation for the almirah and the wall space.
