Spicing Things Up with Pops of Colour

In contrast to my last post today we're going to spice things up a bit using bold colour ideas for bedrooms. You can still use plain white superking duvet covers - actually these are ideal because if and when you tire of a bright accent your duvet cover sets will still be usable – the colour pops can be added to your bedroom via piles of cushions on the bed, rugs for both the floor and to use as a wall hanging.

I love the idea of using patchwork quilts (scroll back to White Bedrooms with Style) or rugs as wall hangings. They add colour and texture to a room and either make a great substitute for a conventional styled headboard.

Spicy paprika, cayenne are just a couple of gorgeous colours which will give you colour bold colours without them being too bright and garish. Bed throws or blankets can also be laid across the bottom of the bed for an informal look – for those of you like a little more formality neatly folded bed throws or trendy bed runners are the way to go.

Don't forget your window dressings which can also be in spicy colours, cheap curtains or window blinds in co-ordinating colours will add a natural warmth and glow to a bedroom.
