When it comes to the bedroom, many people opt for a neutral color palette in an effort to achieve a peaceful space. White, beige and gray are often the preferred neutrals, and they work well in rooms made for relaxation. But if you love color and the rainbow is calling your name, please understand that your bedroom doesn't have to be all-neutral or nothing. You can still create a serene space by introducing smaller doses of accent hues into your neutral palette. You'll still have a place to relax, but it will be just a little more interesting and pleasing to your color-loving eye.
