Your bedroom is your very own retreat and haven from the cares of every day. You spend around one third of your life there, so be sure you actually like it. A bedroom is a place where you want to be able to relax and get a good night’s sleep and the colours you use can enhance this. Many experts advise using neutral colours that make it easy to redecorate. Just change the bedspread and curtains for a new look.

But if you love colour, neutrals will leave you cold. For relaxing colours go with blues, greens or lavenders. Cool colours are calming and will help you feel cooler on hot nights. In the winter you’ll snuggle under that doona to feel warm. Add a few brightly coloured accessories such as lampshades or pillow covers for a brightening effect.

Whether small and fussy or bold and swirling, patterns can give a busy look that is neither relaxing nor calming. Self-patterned curtain and bedspreads are better as patterns are not so obvious. Some people prefer plain curtains with just a little pattern along the bottom.
