Navy bedroom with vintage wooden furniture and blush accents

Dark walls in a bedroom are not to everyone's taste, but keep the look light and airy by introducing furniture in natural wood, like the bedside table from Maisons du Monde. A plush grey headboard and blush bedding accents compliment the dark moody walls to create a soft and stylish master bedroom.
White bedroom with pops of blush, yellow and turquoise

White. It's crisp, calm, serene – all the qualities you need in a bedroom. But it can also be quite stark. That is, unless, you introduce a playful mix of colours as we've done here. If you are playing with colour, reach to all ends of the spectrum but do stick to the same strength of hue so that one doesn't take over.

We've gone with an Ochre duvet cover from Wayfair, a musty green-grey cushion and blanket from Urbanara and blush pink linen curtains from the Secret Linen Store.
Modern classic green bedroom with alcove wardrobe and blue bedding

Greens and blues are often cited as the best colours to paint a bedroom due to their soothing nature, so why not use them both together? Painting wardrobes and a headboard panel in the same shade – Crown's Bandstand matt emulsion – creates a streamlined look that will suit smaller rooms especially well. Linwood's Bamboo Garden wallpaper brings a slightly exotic glamour to proceedings.
Modern Scandi bedroom with wooden bedstead and rug

Avoid flat, lilac-tinted greys that can make a room feel chilly, but mix warmer shades with grainy oak for a simple, soothing backdrop. Working in copper, dusky pink and peach tones and touches of pattern and texture will make it welcoming and characterful. A neutral-textural-patterned wallpaper, like this, is a great way to add understated style and interest to a room.

Modern dressing room with navy blue walls and small dressing table

This light-absorbing shade is ideal for a bedroom, providing a mellow pre-sleep mood and easy-on-the-eye awakenings. If you use it on all four walls, keep the floor and ceiling white. For a modern take, instead of rustic white-painted wood or natural oak.

Midnight blue bedroom with wooden bedstead and wool rug

This sophisticated shade will add depth and drama to a backdrop of cool mid-greys and pale wood tones. With so much colour going on, don't complicate matters with bold or busy patterns. A touch of stripe or a soft sketchbook motif is enough. Rustic elements help to tie this look together. Here rope, bamboo, weaves and linens reveal their detail against deep, flat blue.

Modern purple bedroom with green headboard and floral bedding

If you're tempted to experiment with a darker colour on your walls, dusky plums are warm and soothing without being too strong or challenging. A yellow-green headboard cuts through the warm wall colour for a fresh uplift.

Purple bedroom with painterly-effect bedlinen and wooden bed frame

Make more of a favourite painting or print by colouring a border around the frame. Use masking tape to mark out a square 8-10cm bigger than your frame and colour it in with leftover paint. Remove the tape and, when the paint's dry, rehang the picture.

Coral blush pink bedroom with fresh blue linen

On cold, grey days, blush pink can lend a gentle warmth that's an easy fix for north-facing spaces. It's a good idea, however, to balance out the warm tone with lots of crisp white and cool, fresh blues.

Modern laid-back bedroom with grey walls and bedding

Luxe looks aren't just for glamourpusses! This version is altogether more relaxed. The key to luxury is texture, so use super-soft linen bedding, chunky wool rugs and matt ceramics to build it up in layers.
To create a layered neutral scheme, use a base of taupe and grey, then add pastel tints as subtle accents. We used sky blue and mint, but lilac or blush pink would work, too.

Tropical themed bedroom with botanical bed linen and green walls

A luxurious green wall colour fits perfectly with the bold botanical prints of the bedspread. The effect is chic and summery, balanced out by the cool tones. It evokes a calm scene in leafy shade as opposed to beating sun: perfect for slipping off to sleep. The green walls are not limited to a summery effect, however. A more subtle bedroom scheme, for winter months, can be achieved through a grey or blush pink linen bedding. Indeed, pink is the ideal accent to greens, from the soft blush of the hummingbird picture to a fierce fuchsia candle.

Bedroom corner with green walls and tropical accessories

Greens, blues, and pinks interplay here for a subtle buzz of colour that feel modern and summery. The polished, modern feel of the lamp and framed poster contrast pleasingly with this rustic chest of drawers. Reclaimed or limed oak furniture are a relaxed, balanced accompaniment to the palm greens that bring to mind a sunny beach-house. For a smarter effect, a black-stained wood finish can bring a touch of bold sophistication.

Relaxed Scandi bedroom in blush pink and denim blue

Nordic style usually starts with a pure white backdrop, but adding colour makes it warmer and more interesting. pale pink behaves like a neutral and is easy to mix with different accent tones. Natural linens are the quick route to this modern, relaxed look – and no ironing is needed…

Green panelled bedroom with blush pink upholstered bed

Soft blush and nude tones are the perfect companions for fresh, cactus greens. Avoid fabrics with a sheen – use matt-finish linens, cottons and cotton velvets, or the scheme will become chinzy and less modern-looking.

Modern bedroom with copper wallpaper, velvet headboard and metallic details

Go luxe in the bedroom with a rich auburn or copper backdrop. These colours lend themselves to an opulent look – perfect for a sophisticated bedroom scheme, loaded with plush textiles and finished with metallic accessories. Gold and brass can work especially well, as demonstrated by the brass-fronted bedside table and brass vase.

Glamorous modern bedroom with gold mirror and accessories

Here's a great example of thinking outside the box when choosing furniture for a space – an elegant rosewood and brass desk that's been presented as a dressing table. Brass accessories coordinate with the motif on the drawers of this quirky piece, which is offset with an equally fabulous statement mirror.

Modern bedroom with strong teal walls

The painted walls of this modern bedroom create a cosy and cocooning atmosphere in deep teal blue. Choose silver accents like the aluminum task light which make a beautiful contrast with all-blue hues. A white wooden bed frame breaks up the colour and a floral bedspread in matching hues finishes this fresh look.

Modern blue bedroom with exposed fireplace and tropical bedlinen

This bedroom has a totally tropical feel. The blue and green on the bedlinen complement the wall beautifully. A partially exposed brick fireplace gives the room an undone, urban vibe, while metal and wood elements contrast to create an aesthetically pleasing look.

Neutral bedroom with floor to ceiling windows

The simplicity of Scandi schemes can make them look stark, so offset plain white walls and simple wooden furniture with luxurious layers of throws and cushions. Plants or flowers are also great for adding colour to a neutral bedroom.

White bedroom with picture ledges and wall-mounted lights

If you're indecisive, make picture ledges your friend. They're great when you fancy a change and want to swap artwork and accessories around. Add character with a mixture of prints, too. Sticking to a mainly monochrome palette makes a combination of geometric, striped and tree patterns work together.
