How to Create a Moody Bedroom

How to Create a Moody Bedroom

We know all-white rooms can be great, but it’s time to embrace your dark side. Deep, dark color schemes can give a room weight and depth. It is embracing, it’s relaxing and surprisingly it’s not gloomy at all but instead creates a calming atmosphere perfect for bedrooms.

Think of deep plums, forest green’s, dark navy’s and charcoal grey’s on the walls and strong dark floor boards or thick dark carpets to create a sophisticated bedroom retreat. Everything depends on the décor you create. Even dark spaces can pop up and   look very inviting when done right.

How to decorate moody bedrooms

 

Choose any style you like as moody and dark colours are classics and will go with any style: glam, modern, art deco, minimalist, contemporary, vintage and many others. Moody spaces aren’t just about black; deep green, purple, graphite, burgundy and so on can all be moody, just pick a ecopayz deep, rich tone.

Your moody room can be refreshed with some softer colours to create that gorgeous balance of masculine and feminine. Metals such as brass, bronze, chrome and gold beautifully accent dark colours. Pair these with really strong finishes like loop pile carpet, a dark plush carpet with a cut pile or dark toned timber floors and you’ll end up with a gorgeous sleep sanctuary that you’ll just never want to leave!

Flooring picks

 

As mentioned above, in a moody  room you want to continue this feeling on the floor. Dark timber floors or thick pile carpets provide the perfect grounding for this look and add that layering effect of warmth, peace and restfulness. The darker colours absorb and cocoon you from the outside world.
