Decorating a Bedroom in a Monochromatic Color Scheme

If you would like to decorate your bedroom using your favorite color, there are a few basic tips to keep in mind.

1. Team up your favorite color with white. Either use an all-white background with accents in your color or a background in your favorite color with white accents or a combination of both. In the above room, you will find a white bed quilt with designs in lavender as well as a lavender wallpaper with white accents.

2. White Furniture is the key to a spacious and open look no matter what color you choose. But some colors might call for warm shades of wood.

3. Use a variety of textures, prints interspersed with solids. Take for the example the solid color lamps, polka dot cotton pillow and a heavy quilt.
