How and what color to choose for the bedroom? – I’m talking about how I find it in projects for my own customers.
Irina Krasheninnikova
The color of the bedroom is discussed more actively by married couples than the ornament of wallpaper or other design components. Usually she likes one shade, he likes another – how to find a compromise is not clear.
I usually give an example with lace: it is considered unambiguously feminine, but if you make the lace black, a man may also like it. Need to decide what color to make the bedroom so that both spouses like it? – Take your favorite “female” color and thicken it, make it darker than usual. It might work.

Let’s select an artist according to your criteria

We do the same with our favorite “masculine” shades – whiskey color, dark skin: whitewashed, as in this photo they look light and even “feminine.”

A few thin lines of dark wood are enough to make the “feminine” pastel palette seem too soft.
Advice: Draw the outlines of the light objects. Follow the advice of Johannes Itten, one of the authors of the Bauhaus curriculum and theorist of the new art: “Light colors on a light background can be enhanced by enclosing them in a black frame.”

The combination of orange and blue is most often used by marketers to attract a male audience: here in the USA these are the colors of the New York Mets baseball team, subconsciously men consider this combination to be “theirs”. I am sure that designers in any country know such color codes – they work unobtrusively and quickly give the desired result.

Choosing what color to make the matrimonial bedroom, pay attention to gray – it will add sophistication to the interior. In this room, smoky gray sets the tone for the bedroom, while other colors fill it with energy.

Pay attention to how subtly the designer applied the technique of “thickening the colors” – for the pillows with classic ornaments, they took textiles of a rich wine color. And the snow-white bedding adds the right touch of “feminine” to this composition.

The two most popular shades when it comes to what colors to make your bedroom in. Use both! Gray and beige combine perfectly. And they also make up spectacular color compositions with rich shades (about them in the article at the link below).

Four schemes: What to combine with beige and gray shades

A fashionable alternative to beige is complex pastel shades with a gray undertone: they look rich, go well with the anthracite shade of any intensity. Please note that here saturated gray was introduced as the color of bedding (you don’t like it, you can always replace it).

Wondering which wall color to choose for your bedroom? – Pay attention to this interior. His design scheme is based on colors that men like, but with an interpretation that will appeal to women.
The unobtrusive transition from blue and orange to blue and coral can be a delight to women’s eyes. Pick an artistic mix of expressive designs and tie them in charcoal gray. You get an option that suits both.
Special-style
When couples cannot find a compromise and argue which color is best for the bedroom, I suggest white. Shades can be entered neatly using curtains, bedspreads, carpet.

Many people like the combination of green and blue. Soft pastel walls – feminine, but a massive wooden headboard – something definitely masculine. The balance is right.

If you have read this far, but have not yet decided what color to make the bedroom in – take yellow! This versatile, gender neutral color saves most couples with different styles. By the way, black will add an expressive contrast to yellow.

Blue is statistically the most popular and favorite color. But to keep the balance, these colors need to be diluted and shaded. The dark brown headboard in this bedroom plays the role of such an expressive accent. This room is an example of the golden mean: not too masculine and not too feminine.
