Simple color can give a bedroom plenty of personality. These contrasting solid tones make the bed feel fresh and deliberate, while softly rumpled washed cotton keeps the effect relaxed. Cream against blue feels light and playful; white against black takes a cleaner, more graphic direction. With no printed pattern competing for attention, the appeal is in the color pairing and the easy, comfortable feel of pure cotton.For the butter yellow and blue pairing, lay a cream waffle throw across the foot of the bed to echo the pale duvet and add a larger texture. A small cobalt ceramic lamp on the bedside table picks up the blue, carrying the color beyond the bed without filling the room with matching accessories. Washed cotton: Pure cotton with a gently rumpled finish offers a soft, comfortable feel and an informal everyday look. Two-tone color: Contrasting solid shades give the bed definition, creating a complete visual idea without a printed pattern. Simple styling: Unpatterned surfaces work alongside a patterned rug or artwork, letting the rest of the room keep its character. Coordinated layers: The contrasting duvet and sheet colors create visible depth, with pillowcases repeating the pairing for a considered finish.
