The color-rectanging trend was one of the first signs that the interior design for maximalism and cozy aesthetics compared to strong minimalism that has been long for so long was swivelable. The idea is simple enough: present the majority of a room in a color.
“Color wets creates a wrapped feeling when the same tone covers every surface, blankets, cuts and even pieces of furniture,” says interior designer Amy Switzer. “It blurred the edges and adds depth, which means that the room feels deliberately and luxuriously.”
Since personal sanctuaries are supposed to go to a blissful sleep, bedrooms are the perfect place to experiment with color soakers. Here are some brilliant ideas of interior designers to inspire their own space.
Keep it low contrast
Antonio Mothers Design
While contrast is an important “yes” in interior design, sometimes a big statement can give a large statement. Low contrast color is the perfect example of this. “This look is about keeping contrast low. Walls, blankets, trim and decor are all in similar satiety levels,” says Switzer. “It feels modern, moody and super intended.”
Decide for earthy and organic

You can also let your neutral and color soak. The idea is to accept a warm, thawing palette of taupe, sand and soft beige, says interior designer Laura Brophy. It suggests laying different tones of these organic colors through walls, bed linen and textiles in order to create a coherent and calming environment. You can also increase this monochromatic scheme through natural textures such as grass, linen and wood for dimension and depth. “The overall effect is calm and clever, with a focus on organic materials and simplicity,” she says.
Weap in some prints
Cort
In some prints, consider not only playing with texture through surfaces and fabrics to avoid the “Painted Box” look, says Darrell Gardner, interior design for Cort. “Bring up padded head parts, structured throws and ceramic lamps in the same tone for the visual depth,” he says. Curtains, pillows, carpets, works of art and bed linen are also great opportunities to introduce prints.
Try a tonal approach
Jacob Satabley
Add dimensions and subtle contrast to a sound-on-tone approach for a new colored bedroom. “Use a number of tones in the same color family instead of a flat color to soak the room in the dimension,” says Switzer. For example: “The walls could be medium, the ceiling a touch brighter and the cladding a little darker.”
Use adults pink tones

Pink is a natural choice for a soft bedroom topic, but it doesn't have to be saccharin. A colored room with adult tones made of warm pink, cozy neutral and gold -plated details creates a beautiful sanctuary.
Add heat from wooden tones

A bedroom that is drunk in color from the ceiling to the floor is immediately cozy. Step up the heat by adding a subtle contrast through wooden tones. In this room, a small vintage desk in the corner becomes a welcome focus.
Hug calming slate tones
Newfield design
Brophy says that the laying of layers of cool slate tones with soft neutral is a modern – and perhaps a little more minimalistic – pleasant to dye the color. The result is a coherent, soothing palette and a beautiful middle ground between sparse design and maximum approaches. For a contrast stamp, Brophy suggests taking sculptural black accents into account and “subtle patterns such as pinstripes or linear textures that reflect the primary color without inserting busy prints”.
Weded twice twice
Little Greene
Little Greene, a British paint company, shaped the concept “soaked twice”. The idea is to use two contrasting colors for the walls and one for trim and baseboard for one with high contrasting, wow-worthy effect.
Go for a monochromatic, warm white sanctuary
Laure Nell Interiors
Another option is to become light by monochromatic white tones with warm under tones. “By covering the bedroom in soft, creamy white tones – on the walls, the ceiling, bed linen and upholstery – the room becomes a quiet and airy retreat,” says Brophy. “A monochromatic approach underlines the architectural details and promotes a feeling of calm, perfectly with a modern, livable aesthetics.”
Hold on an undertone
Sean Litchfield
A frequent mistake in color wetness is to select colors from the same family, but with different under tones. This can lead to a situation in which the mood breaks down and you cannot find out why. “For a coherent feeling, you stick to a consistent undertone – either warm or cool – all colors, textiles and surfaces in the room,” says Switzer.
Let the furniture work for you

Let furniture disappear or stand out – the choice is yours. “Do you want a minimalist atmosphere? Paint the bedside tables and chests of drawers in the same color as the walls for a seamless look,” says Gardner. “Do you want contrast? Choose a single accent piece – like a linen chair or a velvet bank – in a complementary but unexpected tone.”
Play with textures and surfaces

Use the same color in different surfaces. “Think on the walls on the walls to saturate a soft, velvety background and satin on the cladding or blanket to give a touch of reflection and visual interest,” says Switzer. “Extend this color to architectural elements such as installations, cabinet doors or even radiators to fully wrap the room into the color.”
