Don't be afraid to play with colors and patterns when decorating your bedroom. Enhance a bedroom featuring neutral-colored walls by mixing rich chocolate hues with soft mauve shades; the colors elegantly compliment each other. Use a brown and pink striped comforter, and hang soft pink curtains. Brown and light blue also provide a complimentary color combination.
Create an artistic, eclectic look creatively mixing patterns, such as stripes and polka dots. Choose a striped bedspread and enhance it will pillows featuring circle shapes.
