EMBRACE A NEUTRAL PALETTE Colour has a big part to play when it comes to reflecting our mood and emotions, so it makes sense to opt for a shade that you like in your bedroom. However, it may be that your chosen colour isn’t the best one for a calm space – zesty yellow couldmake you feel more energetic rather than peaceful, for example. That’s where neutrals come in. It’s a common misconception that a palette of beige and grey is bland or unadventurous. On the contrary, these colours can be used to create a calm, cool, and effortlessly stylish scheme – and the beauty of these shades is that they work in any type of bedroom, whether it’s small or large, bright or dark. Neutrals include a wide range of hues, from fresh whites and delicate nudes to creamy taupes and caramels, rich


browns, and even soſt green-greys and powder pinks. These earthy tones work harmoniously together and provide a great base for layers of textiles and accessories, that you can easily update with the seasons. “To create the feeling of zen in the bedroom, I like to stick to one single colour for the walls and ceiling,” says Charlotte Cosby, head of creative at Farrow & Ball. “This helps create a restful space, as – with no point of reference and no contrasts – you’re less aware of where things stop and start," she says. And don't shy away from darker neutrals either. "Depending on where the light comes in, smaller schemes can incorporate deeper colours successfully as this can actually distract the eye from the size of the space."
