Bedrooms are the most intimate spaces in a home. It is safe to say the majority of time spent at home is spent in your bedroom. They carry the most of a person’s personality and reflects one’s preferences. It can be a place of either calm and relaxation or creativity and activity. There is little to no compromise when it comes to choosing a colour scheme for a bedroom. Most choose to go with some variation of their favourite colour or one that goes with complementing soft furnishings. However, the choices for bedrooms are endless.

Neutrals such as Berger 8251 October Sky, Penta Silver Sand or Penta Jouvert are safe options and can pair with most colours. Be aware of the undertones of neutrals as they can be highlighted by other pieces within the room.

Calm and cool colours such as Berger 7506 Aqua Fusion, Berger Sea Surf or Sissons Cascade are great options if you want to create a peaceful atmosphere to end and start your day.

Brighter colours like Berger Peach Carnation and Berger Grand Canyon are best if a jump start is needed in the mornings. Energetic colours within the yellow and orange families such as Penta Papaya, Sissons Paw Paw and Berger Melon Sorbet are best used to make a bedroom feel warm and cosy.

Deep reds and purples add romance, mystery and elegance to a bedroom. They can be used on their own or complemented with neutrals.

Gray and taupe, although they fall within the neutral family, are popular now in contemporary and modern schemes. Sissons Grey Mist, Berger Smooth Flow or Penta Jouvert just some of the popular greys used today. These can be easily incorporated with an accent wall for a great pop of colour!
