b'dark coloursIf you feel like just crawling into a hole at the end of the day, dark colours will certainly make your bedroom feel like a true retreat.Colours that echo the depths of night are perfect for bedrooms. Dark bedrooms create a cave-like sanctuary and lend themselves to more luxury looksthink deep navy with gold accents, for example, for a reassuring traditional vibe, or deep jade green for a decadent boudoir effect. While true blacks have slipped from the top of the trends, try inky blues like Resene Blue Night, rusticated greens like Resene Palm Leaf, toasted blacks that are softened with brown like Resene Triple Masala or faded blacks that walk the line between black and charcoal like Resene Baltic Sea. Even rich wine burgundies like Resene Vanquish are finding favour. These colours are more interesting than straight black and help you create a cocooning or luxe, resort-style sleeping space.Be bold and go all outpaint the ceiling too, and use accessories and bedlinen that blends or is tonal rather than contrasting.
