MOODY BEDROOMS

-

Bold, dark colours are prevalent, from entire rooms painted in smoky deep greys to sophistica­ted midnight blues creating statement rooms. Dark timber floors or thick pile carpets provide the perfect grounding for this look and continue to add that layering effect of warmth, peace and restfulnes­s – the darker colours cocoon you from the outside world.

> Darker colours can be accented beautifull­y with metal accessorie­s, tan leathers and reindeer hides. You can also team them with natural linens to soften the strength of the colour.

> Break up moody blues with blush pinks and eggplant tones, again creating a balance between strong and soft. > Use moody colour in a feature armchair, cushions or accessorie­s. It will act as an accent, adding depth and bringing in colour from the outdoors.

> Moody rooms require a sense of plushness and a feeling of opulence, gain this through either thick piled rugs or long pile carpet that has a hint of movement in it.
