Your indigo wall is a perfect backdrop for rustic and earthy furniture. Not just that, traditional prints like ikat and kantha, and fabrics like jute and rattan look lovely in such a room. We’re loving the wooden half poster bed in the above room designed by 1leapingfrog. Don’t you?

If you want a look that’s striking, go for furnishings in deep yellow or orange. And if you want something more natural and easy-going, accents in white and brown look elegant — think ceramic vases, vintage lamps and paintings framed in brown, like in this room designed by blogger Vidya of

A happy colour, pear green is one of the best bedroom paint colours if you want to wake up in a good mood — every day. It’s a yellowish green that has anyway made its way to Indian homes through furniture like the

How to use it:

If you find this shade too playful, tone it down by incorporating elements in elegant shades like ash greys or crepe pinks.

How to use it:

Since burgundy is in itself an exciting colour shade for the bedroom wall, keep everything else muted. Go for neutral shades like whites, beiges, champagnes and greys. A white bedding or wall art framed in white will pop against your burgundy wall. For prints, choose dainty and smaller styles or go for stripes in black and white. Reflective accents like a sunburst mirror, copper chandelier or metallic table lamps would look gorgeous.

If used well, and paired with the right accents and colours, grey is a soothing choice for the master bedroom. The key is to allow the other colours to work their magic as well, so that the dark shade of charcoal grey does not come off as depressing.

How to use it:

If you want a peaceful setting, put up white sheer curtains and throw across a white embroidered bed cover. However, if you want the ambience to be playful and striking, opt for accents and furnishings in complementing colours of orange, yellow, turquoise, teal, coral and fuschia, like in the above bedroom set-up created by
