A white bed frame might be a breeze to style, but there’s something uniquely thrilling about the challenge of incorporating a colorful bed frame into a room. Here, we share a few tricks and tips to utilize when styling around a colorful bed frame!
1. Stick to simple bedding
When working with a colorful bed frame, it’s best to keep your bedding minimalist and neutral. Think: white, light gray, or slate. Neutral bedding allows the bed frame to be the room’s main focal point. If you have the desire to add texture or extra color, consider a throw blanket or decorative pillows, but keep the colors complementary to your bed frame’s color.
2. Choose complementary colors
Again, if you want to add some color to your bedroom, choose colors that complement the bed frame. Decoded: look for colors that are opposites on the color wheel, or colors that are in the same family as the color of your bed frame. If you’re still having trouble, reference fabrics to see what colors are commonly featured together.
3. Balance the room
To offset a colorful bed frame, balance the room with other elements. This can include artwork, rugs, or curtains that repeat colors that are present in your bed frame. This will help create a cohesive look and make the bed frame feel like it belongs in the space
4. Emphasize your bed frame’s color
If you really want to emphasize the color of your bed frame, consider painting the walls a neutral color, such as white or beige to act as a visual counterpoint. White is an easy, no-think option no matter what color your bed frame is, but a much lighter version of your bed’s color might also do the trick.
