Mustard Yellow + Pearl White
Since it is usually the place where guests enter your home, a foyer or entryway is the perfect place to play up a cozy color scheme that says “welcome.” It is also a good place to include a bold color orwallpaper pattern. Since it’s not a room you spend a lot of time in, you won’t tire of the color or pattern quickly. In this formal foyer, classic white trim and woodwork and a cheery wallpaper set a friendly tone. An upholstered bench in mustard yellow and a blue accent pillow match the wallpaper’s pattern.
Whipped Cream White + Chocolate Brown
If you love the clean look of white but want to stay away from stark, choose a white with brown or gray undertones. This barely noticeable tint will cast a warmer glow. When choosing a paintcolor, hold the paint chip up to something pure white. Doing so will make the undertones of the paint color more apparent than if you were just looking at the paint chip, helping you identify the color’s exact undertone. The warm white look plays out in this living room on thewalls, upholstered furniture, and rug. A dose of rich colors, such as the brown drapes and jewel-tone throw pillows, bring the white to life.
Aqua + Brown
Warm and soothing doesn't have to be boring. Faux bois wallpaper adds visual texture, while the dark brown upholstered headboard adds warmth to the room. An aqua coverlet and crisp white sheets keep the room on the fresh side of cozy. A symmetrical arrangement of furniture and accent pieces furthers the calming mood of the room.
Salmon + Rose
The warm color palette in this enchanting bedroom begins with the walls. Paint in a deep, dusty taupe with whispers of rose creates a feeling of intimacy, while salmon-color silk taffeta draperies define the window and add sheen. A floral duvet on the bed blushes in shades of pink that are echoed in the painted lampshade.
Color Star
Allow a favorite color to be the star in your bedroom. In this room, a gentle aqua blue colors everything from draperies to furniture to accessories. With such an apparent color star, restrain the rest of your palette to a few restful neutrals. Gray and creamy white play supporting roles in this bedroom, creating a serene sea-inspired space.
Bright White
When paired with dark walls, white furniture can make quite a statement. Here, a white-painted bed frame and white quilt provide a striking and effective contrast against the dark blue walls. Lovely floral throw pillows warm up the bedroom, while a silver-frame mirror contributes a little sparkle and a sense of expanded space.
Simple Touches
To add splashes of color to a white room, use colorful furniture. This light turquoise bed frame is the statement piece in this bedroom, and other color choices, from the cheerful bedding to the artwork, reflect its hue. In a soothing, yet playful room like this one, introduce accent colorsthat are variations on the room's featured color. In this space, celadon green shams and a green crystal light fixture pick up on the green tones in the turquoise.
Just Peachy
Calm neutrals and warm pinks mingle easily in this girlish bedroom. Using variations of the same color family adds depth and interest to a space. Whendecorating with pink, add doses of white and a prominent neutral to balance the sweetness of pink. Look for neutrals that have pink undertones, such as this putty-color paint on the walls.
Shine So Bright
This sunny space takes inspiration from nature. The branchy wallpaper and floral bedding create a whimsical haven, and three sun-shape mirrors serve as a focal point. Subtle splashes of orange and white continue the energetic color schemebut ensure that yellow doesn't overwhelm the space.
Get Inspired
Let the often-overlooked floor determine the color scheme of your bedroom. Thecolors in the checked rug served as the inspiration for this modern bedroom. Deep gray walls mimic a square from the rug, and olive green curtains pull from another. Some throw pillows and a blanket add more geometric patterns, and a few red accessories attract the eye.
One-Hue Wonder
The panache in this bedroom comes from the monochromatic color scheme. A skirted slipper chair picks out the blue tones within the plaid bed skirt and flowered curtains. A headboard in the same color serves as the perfect focal point.
