Think of a scene in a movie.
Now, think of romantic scenes and the violent or other heavy-hearted scenes.
Now try to track, what came to your mind when thinking of the different scenes of joy and vengeance?
Ideally, you’ll visualise a dark and dreary ambience for a morbid or a crime scene. And a bright, light and sparkling scene for a joyful setting.
Apart from the actors and props, what do you think set the visual stage, the emotions and undertones in your mind? Of course, it is the ambience that includes lights and colours.
Light and colours play a critical role in evoking psycho-neurotic and logical responses – remember Disney’s Inside Out? Fear is blue, anger is red and joy yellow.

A very similar factor comes into play when bedroom designing. The room’s layout, texture, and especially the colour of bedroom interiors directly affect your mood. It sets the ambience.

So, when it comes to bedroom designing, the best way to decide which colours to choose is by understanding colour theory. You can also apply it in bedroom designing, as explained in this article.
In this article, we’ll see how choosing certain colours in a certain way can take your bedroom design to whole new levels:
Bedroom Designing: Understanding the Two-Colour Theory
2022 will be a year of natural shades and warm hues. Earthly shades and bright colours inherently make a good combination.
The two-colour method of choosing two colours for the bedroom is still trending. There are two ways in which the two-colour method is used:
1. Main wall
In this method, one main wall is painted darker, while the other three walls are painted in a lighter hue. This method is excellent for creating a vivid contrast. Usually, textures and decor pieces go well with this wall.
2. Opposite walls
This approach takes two different colours on the opposite facing walls. The colours chosen can be light or dark to create a balanced look. This method works well even if both colours chosen are light.
Winning Colour Combinations of 2022 for Bedroom Designing
These colour combinations are hot right now. In 2022, these will be the rage because of the many ways they can be used.
1. Lavender and white
Using lavender and white is like having your little therapy room right in your bedroom. This colour combination is proven to have a relaxing effect on the mind.

The tumultuous pandemic years have created a lot of stress and anxiety. Using this colour combination is like having your oasis, a place of peace and calm, right in your bedroom. Opposite wall methods work well with this combination.
2. Dusty pink and mint green
Dusty pink is a very soothing colour. Mint green is the go-to colour for freshness. Using these together brings the best of everything under one roof, literally.
A dash of freshness along with soulful calm cannot go wrong. This combination works well with the opposite wall method.
3. Brown and cream
Brown and Cream is the champion combination of earthly tones because it goes well with everything. Cream goes well with every shade of brown, right from chocolate brown to copper.
What’s more, this winning shade goes well with all kinds of furniture. The overall ambience set with these tones is light, warm and cosy, charming and rustic. The main wall should be brown, and others cream.
4. Light grey and moss green
Another winning natural colour combination, light grey and moss green, is the colour you must consider if you want your home to have a natural look.
Getting the right shade of moss green is often dependent on the light. If it is too dark, it will appear black. But under the proper lighting, moss green is the best colour for bringing in a touch of nature.

Light grey compliments the dark shade too well. It is also soothing to the eyes.
5. Mustard yellow and cobalt blue
If you aim for a natural but slightly bright look, then the mustard yellow and cobalt blue combination are for you.
Yellow and blue are on the opposite ends of the colour spectrum, making them complementary colours. And that opens up a lot of room for you to play around with different shades.
The beauty of mustard yellow holds a special place in our Indian aesthetics. It is vibrant and eye-catching but not too loud. Also, the slight tinge of brown in yellow adds a subtle touch of naturalness.
6. Burgundy and beige
How can someone go wrong with this combo? You won’t find a combination classier than this. It is almost impossible to ignore anything in burgundy- and when you have beige as a supporting colour in the combination, you’ll bound to attract some eyeballs.
This combination works best with the Main wall method: the main wall is burgundy, and the other three walls are in beige. Adding a couple of wall lamps will brighten up the wall and add a touch of luxurious elegance.
7. Charcoal and burnt orange
Charcoal is the go-to shade for a muted, earthly look. But adding a touch of burnt orange brightens up the room. This combination reminds one of the bonfires on the grassy ground.
It is a bit on the darker side, but it works wonderfully if your room gets ample natural light. Sunlight on a wall painted in burnt orange is like seeing the magic unfold. You’ll be amazed how it will make you feel.
