It’s Official: These Are the Colours to Decorate Your Bedroom With in 2020

January 08, 2020 by Rory Carter

The way you decorate your bedroom can say a lot about your personality. Whether you're a minimalist or a collector of objects, it's important that your bedroom feels like you. Over the course of your life, you'll spend a hefty amount of time between the sheets dreaming away, so taking the time to create a restful space that you feel comfortable and safe in can make a huge difference. To guide you, we've compiled our favourite colours to decorate your bedroom with in 2020.

Ruby

One of our newest and most exciting additions to the Bed Threads linen lineup is ruby, a shade that is as decadent as a glass of red wine. Romantic and elegant, we think this colour will take off like crazy in 2020 and we're all for it. To spice things up, add in contrasting colours to your colour palette or keep things feminine with complementary red tones.

Olive

This bold green hue is one of our favourites of all time. Green is synonymous with a sense of calm and a connection to nature, which are two very important things that can help you drift off to sleep peacefully every night. Earthy tones are in for 2020, and olive works beautifully with natural textures like jute and timber.

Charcoal

Whether you love it or loathe it, grey has become one of the most popular tones used in interior decorating. It's more interesting than white yet safer than an actual colour, making it a general crowd-pleaser. This year, a deeper shade of grey will transform your boudoir into a sophisticated, chic haven that's not too feminine and not too masculine. Whether you decide to use it on your walls or your sheets, it's versatile enough to pair with any colour on the spectrum.

Rust

We called it early on—the Mediterranean minimalist look is going to dominate the year. Part of achieving the style at home is working with a warm palette, and this burnt orange tone is perfect for the bedroom. We love rust so much that we incorporated it into our own collection of linen colours. You can't help but feel bright and sunny each morning when you're surrounded by the warmth that radiates from this cheerful shade.

Royal blue

Pantone has named it their colour of the year, and we couldn't agree more. This bright blue variation is a perfect way to inject some energy into your bedroom and it's sure to be a showstopper. Whether it's a statement cushion or every wall and ceiling, royal blue will have you dreaming of Santorini.

Lavender

For anyone looking to keep their bedroom feeling light and airy, lavender is 2020's answer to the cult favourite millennial pink. You can mix it with bright white for something serene or turmeric for a pop of contrast colour. If you haven't considered this colour in the past, now's the time to switch things up and incorporate it into your scheme for the new year.
