Colour blocking, a bold and creative interior design trend, adds life and personality to your bedroom. It’s all about pairing contrasting or complementary colours to create a striking and cohesive look

Whether you're aiming for a modern vibe or a playful touch, colour blocking can help you achieve a stunning aesthetic.

Here’s how to do it right:

  1. Pick a Dominant Colour
    Start by choosing one main colour that will set the tone for your room. This could be a deep navy, soft blush, or vibrant yellow. The dominant colour will be your anchor, applied to walls, bedding, or larger furniture pieces.
  2. Add a Contrasting Shade
    The key to colour blocking is contrast. Once you’ve selected your dominant hue, pair it with a bold, contrasting colour. For example, if your primary colour is navy, try pairing it with coral, mustard, or even teal. The contrast adds depth and visual interest without overwhelming the space.
  3. Use Neutrals to Balance
    Balance your bold choices with neutral tones. White, grey, or beige bedding, rugs, and accessories can help ground the space, preventing it from feeling too intense. Neutrals also create a calming effect, ensuring your bedroom remains a restful retreat.
  4. Play with Textures
    Don’t just rely on colours—use textures to enhance your design. Velvet cushions, woven blankets, and smooth wooden accents can add dimension and richness to your colour-blocked bedroom, making it more visually appealing and cozy.
  5. Create Zones with Colours
    Consider colour-blocking different areas of the room. Use one colour for your bed zone, another for a reading nook, or an accent wall. This creates a sense of structure while maintaining a dynamic and creative look.

Colour blocking in the bedroom is all about balancing boldness with harmony. By thoughtfully pairing colours and textures, you can transform your bedroom into a vibrant yet relaxing space.
