We might start off with the best intentions, but very often, with the
passing of time, the colour scheme in our bedroom goes a little awry.
Whilst adding essential bits of furniture, there are times when you
simply couldn't find anything that matched your scheme. The longer this
goes on, the sooner there is no semblance of a colour scheme remaining
and it's time to start again.
Starting afresh can often come as a
relief, as it's a chance to update and modernise, choosing colours that
not only do you like but are also very much in vogue.
It's nice to
have some colour in the bedroom but sometimes strong colours can
overpower and be over stimulating, making the room feel smaller and not
really the relaxing haven you would intend it to be.
Let's have a
look at what can be achieved with the colour taupe (at the time of
writing, a very popular interior design colour). Creating a taupe
inspired bedroom can add taste, elegance and a feeling of luxury.
So,
firstly what are you already working with? Do you have natural/neutral
tones already in the room? Do the floorboards look natural? Do you have
laminate flooring or maybe a carpet in a neutral shade? If so,
fantastic! All of these will work well. If not, however, these might be
good starting points and somewhere to build from.
What colour are
the walls? If you already have existing creamy colours, you are off to a
flying start. To begin to tie things together, paint a focus wall taupe
and then hang prints on the other walls with "tan" and other light
brown shades in them.
Soft furnishings and lights are always an
important bedroom feature, so again, sort through what you already have
and look around the house for items you can use before buying new.
Things like throws, cushions, lamps and rugs. Items that didn't work in
other rooms might work perfectly in your new scheme.
Then there's
furniture! Anything with a walnut or teak essence will work and both of
these sit well against creams and browns. If, however, your furniture
has started to look a little rough around the edges, why not make an
investment that will last many years and get some fitted wardrobes.
Sliding wardrobe doors come in many different shapes, sizes, colours and
styles meaning that you are bound to find something that works
beautifully with your new colour scheme.
These wardrobes are often
made to measure, meaning that regardless of the room dimensions, they
will blend in perfectly. With the finishing touches complete, you can
take a step back and admire your new trendy in taupe bedroom!
