Autumnal shades are colours that remind us of fall—the colours of the changing leaves, the soft pink of a sunset, and the rich browns of the earth. These warm shades of autumn are inspired by nature and, when used in the bedroom, can really make you feel at ease.
Let's look at how to use these autumnal shades to create a cosy and stylish bedroom.
When choosing autumnal shades for your bedroom walls, you have many options. Let's look at some different shades:
a. Pink: Dusky pink is a soft, muted pink that feels warm and gentle. Other options include blush pink, which is light and airy, and rose pink, which is a bit deeper.
b. Orange: Burnt orange is a rich, deep orange that brings warmth to a room. You can also consider terracotta, which has a brownish tone, or peach, which is lighter and softer.
c. Brown: Warm browns like caramel, chocolate, and chestnut add a cosy, earthy feel. Light browns like tan and beige can also work well for a more subtle look.
When choosing the right shades for your bedroom walls , think about the mood you want to create. For a calm and cosy atmosphere, dusky pink or warm brown are great choices. If you want more energy, burnt orange can add a lively touch.
Consider the size of your bedroom, too. Light shades like blush pink or light brown can make a small room feel bigger and brighter. Darker shades like chocolate brown or burnt orange can make a large room feel more intimate and cosy.
To create a balanced look, choose shades that complement each other. Here are some tips:
a. Mix Light and Dark: Pair a light shade with a darker one. For example, dusky pink walls with burnt orange accents create a warm and inviting contrast.
b. Use Neutral Bases: Warm browns can act as neutral bases that work well with both pinks and oranges. A caramel brown wall can be paired with dusky pink cushions and a burnt orange throw.
To create a layered and interesting room, use different autumnal shades on various surfaces. Here’s how:
a. Walls: Choose one dominant colour for the walls. Dusky pink is a great choice for a soft, soothing background. If you prefer something bolder, go with burnt orange on one wall and keep the others neutral.
b. Bedding: Mix and match colours in your bedding. For example, a brown duvet cover with burnt orange and dusky pink pillows can create a rich, layered look.
c. Rugs: A brown or burnt orange rug can add warmth to the floor. Choose a rug with a subtle pattern that includes all three colours to tie the room together.
a. Start with a Neutral Base: Begin with neutral colours like beige or light brown on larger surfaces, such as walls or furniture. This creates a calm base that allows the autumnal shades to stand out without overwhelming the room.
b. Balance Bold and Soft: If you use a bold colour like burnt orange, balance it with softer shades like dusky pink. This keeps the room from feeling too intense.
c. Repeat Colours: Use each colour in at least two or three places around the room. For example, if you have dusky pink walls, add a dusky pink pillow and a piece of artwork with hints of pink. This repetition creates harmony.
d. Consider Textures: Different textures can add depth to the colors. Use a soft, dusky pink blanket, a rough, burnt orange throw pillow, and smooth, brown wooden furniture. Textures make the room feel more inviting and layered.
The colours of autumn bring the warmth and beauty of nature into your home. Try using these colours on your bedroom walls and decor. A touch of autumn can change your room and make it feel more welcoming.
