I need to decorate our spare bedroom . At present it's pale green with patterned curtains in shades of green.
I would really like to try something more adventurous. All the walls are plain. I was thinking of maybe dark purple on one wall and pale green on the others. It's south facing and one wall has white wardrobes.
I sometimes sleep there, as I snore, so would like it to be redecorated.
Thanks in advance

I love that top one, NotSpaghetti.

My daughter has just had her bedroom decorated in a lovely olive green. It's quite dark, but as she says, bedrooms are supposed to be dark. It looks really good, IMO - she lifted the colour with a duvet cover and curtains in white with a green 'drawn on' pattern and a white rug.

I did interior design at college and purple was one of the colours they say that is too stimulating to get a restful sleep, unless you go towards lilac shades. I much prefer calming colours in a bedroom, the one in the Italian Job was lovely and the accent chair was gorgeous.
