Instructions

    • 1

      Paint the walls of your bedroom a light purple or brown color. Dark colors tend to evoke a gloomy feel in a bedroom so sticking to lighter hues avoids this potential problem.

    • 2

      Place an area rug on the floor if the bedroom isn't already carpeted. Get a rug with a dominant color theme of brown or purple or a pattern that incorporates both.

    • 3

      Choose matching brown wood furniture for the bed frame, dresser, night stand, desk, shelves and any other pieces for the bedroom.

    • 4

      Choose silver accent pieces like curtain rods, door knobs and lamps, as this color adds a softer feel to the area when combined with brown and purple.

    • 5

      Place accessories on shelves and table tops throughout the bedroom that have a dominant color theme of purple or brown. For example, decorative purple glass objects, brown accent pillows and purple flowers in a brown vase.

    • 6

      Hang brown or purple curtains above the windows. Choose a color that's darker than the wall color to avoid a monochrome feel in the bedroom.

    • 7

      Choose a sheet set and comforter in opposite colors. For example, chocolate brown sheets with a royal purple comforter.

Tips & Warnings

  • A purple and brown bedroom can work equally well for a child's room, teen's room, master bedroom or guest bedroom. These classic colors add a sophisticated appeal to the area.
