Our tips for choosing a bedroom scheme

Mood Makers

Colour has the power to change not only the look of a room, but also the ambiance. Do you need a boost to wake up or a cocoon to encourage relaxation? Before you decide on the best paint colour for your bedroom, consider these basic facts: warm colours add energy; cool hues create a more calming atmosphere; saturated colour will wrap you in a cozy environment while pale shades conjure an airy feel.

Foolproof Paint Picks

When selecting paint colours for the bedroom take your cues from the fabrics used on bedding and window treatments. If you're overwhelmed by colour choices, try pulling a hue from a favourite fabric for a wall colour that helps you achieve your design goals.

Quieten It Down

When selecting colours that will help you unwind, neutrals are a natural choice. But they need not be boring! Creamy whites, soft greys and warm umber hues can be used to create a quiet backdrop for colourful furnishings: perfect for those who like to change their fabrics or accessories often.

The Fifth Wall

The bedroom ceiling is the last colour you see before you close your eyes at night and the first one to greet you in the morning. Instead of opting for the standard white, how about picking a prettier paint colour? Painting the ceiling a lighter shade of the wall colour will make the room feel more open without the stark contrast. To find the perfect shade, consider Benjamin Moore Waterborne Ceiling Paint with its unique ultra-flat finish, offered in thousands of colours
