3. White and a Pop of Colours

If you want to play safe and still experiment, you can go for a base white palette with accents of pops of colour. The colours could be bright colour like red, yellow, orange, purple, indigo, etc. The benefit of this kind of a colour palette is that the white base makes room for a lot of adaptations. While the accents in the form of artwork, furniture or soft furnishings can add versatility to your space. The other plus is that the coloured accents on walls or nooks can help create colour blocks that can reflect upon the emotions of the users, at the same time making your bedroom space full of life and drama.
