Bedroom Furniture - Working with Pleasurable Colors

By Kelly Kim

When designing your bedroom interior, color will always play a chief position. It's imperative to devote attention to this aspect of your design as it will mostly carry the general look of what you finally put together. It is especially important because any color will be powerful enough to affect your attitude and disposition, especially in a place as intimate as your own bedroom. This is where you'll be spending the first and last critical minutes of your daily life, so you don't really want to take chances by making the incorrect choices.

When selecting the color for your room, think of a normal day and how this shade would make it brighter or dimmer. Basically, colors fall only under two categories when it comes to the way they affect your senses - warm and cool. Warm would be the reds and oranges and yellows while cool would be the blues, greens and purples.

Your choices will also rely a lot on personality aspects but a good way around choosing the right shade would need you to think about the size of your room as well. Warm tends to add space by radiating energy outward while cool is likely to create a contracting outcome, which basically means it will make your room look smaller that it is.

More fundamentally, colors will shape the way you'll probably see a day in your life to be. For instance, waking up to sunny hues would help to revitalize you with a sunny disposition as well, while the cooler ones will have a calming, soothing effect. Sometimes, cool colors tend to be dangerous for someone who has an existing tendency to be depressed or dispirited. Fundamentally, you'll want a color that doesn't only collaborate well with the other elements of your traditional or modern furniture and design but one that simply makes you feel good about yourself, the new day and life in most cases.

Your furniture and your walls will make the centers of your color options and while they don't automatically have to be exactly the same, they have to be in the same category to work. For example, if you have a cool shade on your walls, your furniture should be a cool shade as well.

They don't have to be precisely the same color, but they have to be in similar plane. While there's no hard and fast rule in interior design these days as people have become increasingly welcoming of unconventional techniques, the basics remain, particularly in terms of colors.
