How to Decorate a Mulberry & Turquoise Bedroom

Paint bedroom walls turquoise for a bright pop of color.

If you want an artsy, eclectic-looking bedroom, decorate it with a color scheme of mulberry and turquoise. Mulberry is a reddish-purple tone, similar to plum or wine, that contrasts well with vibrant turquoise. To break up the two bright hues, incorporate a fresh neutral color, such as white, into the look. Since a mulberry-and-turquoise color combination works in bedrooms for both adults and children, it's ideal if you're looking for a long-term bedroom design.

Things You'll Need

• Wall paint
• Mulberry and turquoise textiles
• Bench
• Reading chair
• Accent table
• Bookcase
• Bedroom furniture
• Mulberry and turquoise decor items, such as vases and candles

Instructions

1. Paint the bedroom walls a light-to-medium turquoise shade to set the backdrop for the color combination. Choose crisp white paint if you prefer to use a neutral hue.

2. Decorate the bed with a turquoise quilt or comforter. Accent the bedding by folding a mulberry-hued cashmere throw blanket at the base of the bed. Create a luxurious look by piling several mulberry- and turquoise-hued decorative pillows at the top of the bed.

3. Place a bench featuring a mulberry-hued velvet cushion at the foot of the bed as a decorative seating element. Create a reading nook with a mulberry-colored chair and white accent table. Set a white bookcase against the wall to have reading materials close at hand.

4. Decorate the room with coordinating white bedroom furniture, such as a headboard, night stand and dresser set; white pieces provide a fresh contrast to the bright colors.

5. Complete the look with mulberry and turquoise decor items. Place a lamp featuring a white base and a mulberry and turquoise damask print shade on a night stand or table. Accent a wall shelf with a turquoise vase holding purple flowers, such as hydrangeas. Place sweet-scented mulberry candles in white holders to give the bedroom a soft ambiance.
