how light affects your bedroom’s colour scheme Why is it that one colour can look stunning in one bedroom and unwelcoming in another? A neutral colour for example can look stylish in one part of your home but grey and dull in another. The reason is the quality of the light that room receives, and that will vary depending on whether the room faces north, south, east or west. north-facing bedrooms The light in this room is cold and limited. But the light will remain steady, so it won’t change much throughout the course of the day. You’re best choosing light colours to make the most of the natural light available to you. Avoid grey and opt for pink, pale yellows or creamy whites. If you’re prepared to UHO\RQDUWL¿FLDOOLJKWWKHQDULFKHUFRORXUVXFKDVDUHGRUSXUSOHZLOOEULQJZDUPWKWR\RXUEHGURRP south-facing bedrooms These rooms are brimming with warm light, giving you the option of picking colours that are either warm (yellows, oranges, red) or cool (blue, violet, green). Just remember, with plenty of light already pouring into the room warm shades may be overbearing. So more subtle colourways may be a wiser choice. east-facing bedrooms This kind of bedroom will get most of its light in the mornings. That means your colours will look warmer and then get cooler as the day continues. If you don’t want your room to sparkle with colour in the early hours you should consider blackout blinds. west-facing bedrooms Light will hit this room in the afternoons, meaning your colours will be cooler in the morning and warmer in the evening. If you tend to be in your bedroom during the evenings then grey or cream-based neutrals that bring a spacious feel are probably your best choice of colour. Another option is to pick a cool colour that is complemented by warm light. If you’re not sure of what colour scheme to use in your bedroom décor, you could always paint some OLQLQJSDSHUZLWKWKHFRORXU\RX¶UHFRQVLGHULQJDQGKDQJLWRQWKHZDOOWRWHVWLWVHIIHFW¿UVW bedroom furniture: page 5
