The bedroom should be our haven, where we can explore our favourite colours and how they blend together. However, most of the time, our inspiration gets stuck in our heads because we don't see how these colours come together or have a clear image in our minds.

This is where we come in! We can help you visualize how these colours can creatively harmonize and transform your bedroom into a safe and inspiring space.

But here's the catch: as much as we'd love to combine our most random favourite colours to create that perfect bedroom space with our mattress, pillowcases and the likes. There are specific rules that govern such pairings. To make it work, you need to have a streamlined process.

One important aspect to consider is the colour wheel. It does tell you which colours work well together. Complementary colours, located opposite each other on the wheel, such as red and green, create a strong contrast.

However, this might not be the effect you're aiming for. Colours that are next to each other on the wheel tend to create a more harmonious blend. Additionally, you can also consider colours within the same colour family.

Another rule would be maintaining a sense of balance in your colour choices. You don't want one colour to overwhelm the room. Following a 60-30-10 guideline can be helpful. This means that 60% of your room is dominated by one colour, 30% is a secondary colour, and 10% is an accent colour.

You could have the right colour scheme but with an improper balance in place you end up doing it all wrong. It's also worth taking into account the emotional impact and meaning associated with different colours, as they can set the overall mood and vibe of the room.
