BluesBlue - is the most common bedroom color, probably because of it's soothing quality and appeal to both sexes. Make it work for you!!
:-- Choose a soft shade that brightens during the day, but isn't to light at bedtime.
-- Spread the color joy to the ceiling and paint it the same shade.
-- Match the shade with light neutrals and blue and tan bedding.
:-- Pick the lightest shade available and plan to perk it up with vivid accessories.
-- Focus the brightest point of color off the wall, such as the green checkered rug in this bedroom.
-- Branch out into the same color family, choosing bedding and other furniture in yellow-green.
--Sidekicks for BlueBlue paired with subtle accent colors and natural elements looks pretty, not pretentious.Make it work for you!
:-- Use natural bamboo shades to add texture and to keep the blue from looking overdone.
-- Choose a warm accent color and sneak it in, like the yellow strip on the armchair and the checked rug.-- Vary the patterns on the larger elements in the room.
Go with solid on the wall, striped on the chair, and a casual floral for the headboard.
