Choosing bright colors for bedrooms can seem like an unexpected, even counter-intuitive choice. We tend to think of these spaces as sanctuaries, places to unwind in, and tend towards more neutral shades for bedroom colors to do that. But that doesn't have to be the case — just think how wonderful it would be to open your eyes to your favorite bold color first thing in the morning.
'Bright colors in a bedroom can bring a lot of personality and attitude,' says Mike Shively, founding partner of En Masse Architecture and Design. 'Pairing bright tones with moodier and darker tones can make the whole space feel cozy without becoming too energetic. Some of our favorite bright tones to pair with a moody background are citrine yellows, grassy greens, and burnt oranges.'
