  Your bedroom should be a place of sanctuary where you can feel completely comfortable. It also should be a reflection of your personality. For couples, the bedroom should reflect a balance of their personalities so both parties feel at home in the space. Couples also may want to consider romance when choosing ideas for bedroom design color.
  
  

Warm and Lively

• Choose warm, lively colors, which evoke images of the sun, fire and passion. This strategy works well if you want your bedroom to be an exciting, stimulating place. Warm colors include shades of red, orange, pink and yellow. Use a combination of reds, oranges and yellows to create a sunny retreat. Select shades of red or pink for a more romantic environment. People with sophisticated tastes may prefer such deeper shades as wine and rust, or such jewel tones as deep ruby. Accent your bedroom with fixtures or hardware in such warm metals as gold, brass and copper.
  
  

Cool and Calm

• Use cool shades if you prefer bedroom design colors that are calm and soothing. Since such colors are reminiscent of nature and natural settings, this color palette works well for a serene, peaceful and relaxing bedroom. Cool colors include shades of blue and green, as well as most purples and some grays and whites. Combine shades of blue and purple to create a beach-like feel. Designers often use shades of green to create a nature theme. Create a sophisticated environment with such deep purples as plum and aubergine or such jewel tones as amethyst, sapphire and emerald. Select fixtures and accents in silver, pewter and platinum.
  
  

Neutrals

• Decorate your bedroom with neutral colors on the walls, floors and ceilings if you like to change your environment regularly. This decorating strategy also works well if you prefer to change the feel of your bedroom with the seasons. Use neutral colors as a backdrop for bold accent pieces. Select such colors as shades of brown, black, white and gray. While such deep shades as navy blue are pseudo-neutrals, they can serve the same purpose as neutrals. Don't forget that most neutrals have warm or cool undertones.
