The direct correlation between colour and mood has been well established. Colours can have an invigorating effect on your mind and let you lead your day with energy and gusto while the tranquil nature of certain colours have a calming influence on you. The bedroom is your place to rest, read or listen to music, and sleep. Colour can be used as a tool to de-stress and help you relax. Picking decor elements that complement the colour of your walls will not just throw in the personal touch but also uplift the look of the room.

1. Soft, Breezy Blue

The colours in the blue family are known to be soothing. Soft blues especially are meant to take your blues away. We recommend this breezy blue look for your bedroom. This look is inspired by nature — the dual tone curtains in sky blue and grey match the blue walls and complement the stark white windows. Jazz up this space with a white lamp for your bedside table. Stay in touch with upcoming trends and get the same airy look for your bedroom in ‘Serenity’, Pantone’s shade of transcendent blue for Spring 2016.

2. Soft Aqua

Soft aqua or Aqua Marine, of the pastel colour cluster, inspires you to stay calm and soothes your nerves. A melange of geometric patterns defines this aqua bedroom - from the bedspread and the pillows to the cushions and the curtains, and how well the chosen colours and patterns balance the natural light. A dash of contrast is thrown in with the dark orange chair in the corner. This room is every bit modern in the given space and decor.

3. Classic Beige

Beige is a neutral warm colour and extends a classic touch to any room. Beige gives you the flexibility to change your bedroom decor ever so often for its ability to gel with most colours. The cream-coloured drapes contrast well with the tall black framed mirror coupled with the stool. The white lamp on the bedside table blends in perfectly with the theme while the white linen on the beige bed welcomes you to sink into its comfort. All you need is a pair of these black Egyptian cushion covers flaunting a geometric pattern to throw on the covers.

4. Rose Quartz

A pale tone of pink brings in a feeling of relaxation and warmth. Rose Quartz, Pantone’s choice of colour for Spring 2016 is a gentle shade of pink that exudes a sense of calm and encourages you to reflect on nature’s composure. Doing up your bedroom in this palette can be exciting and uniquely different from other colours. This shade of pink also lets you create that boho-chic look you so admire in your travels to places such as Morocco. A Moroccan-style tiled floor, a sofa, both in rose quartz shade, with a few cushions thrown in, and a Filigree hanging lamp in antique brass is best for that comforting corner in your bedroom.

5. Lively Lavender

Here’s your chance to express your romantic side with decor, and what better space to do it than in your bedroom? The coolness of Lavender lets you express yourself freely while adding that much-needed calmness. Create that quintessential romantic English home-space you drool over in British magazines with a white and lavender floral bedspread that complements the wall colour; add a rug in a slightly darker shade within the same colour palette that gels well with the white windows. Throw in a few white orchids on a vase to complete the English’ love for everything floral. Flip this look when you want a change without changing the theme altogether. Paint your walls white and cover your white post bed with a lilac bedspread. You can get the same look in Lilac Grey, Pantone’s shade of choice for Spring 2016.
