A surefire way to bring a cheery ambience to your bedroom is by dressing it in Turmeric hues. Especially rich and playful when paired with calming Lavender, this cheerful and heartwarming duo makes every morning feel like a sunny one.

The sweet three-way pairing of Terracotta, Rosewater & Lavender never fails as a favourite for any and all interior styles. This rose-hued combination evokes a sense of peaceful playfulness, which sets a positive tone from when you wake up right until you fall asleep.

6. Crème, Pink Clay and Terracotta

A tonal trio that looks at home in any season, Crème takes the lead as the neutral classic, while pops of Pink Clay and touches of Terracotta (best layered as a fitted sheet, softly peeking out after you pull back the covers) offer a sweet brightness with lots of warmth.

7. Oatmeal

Is there anything better than a tonal moment? We think not. Minimalists adore the beige hue of Oatmeal, which subtly injects a warm touch to any bedroom. This classic shade is appropriate for all seasons, offers timeless appeal, and is as fresh as it looks and feels.

When it comes to selecting a linen shade for your bedroom, it's hard to look past a classic white. An all-white look is timeless, sophisticated, and helps inject some brightness into a room. So if you're finding yourself 'umming' and 'ahhing' over what color to get, know that white is always a safe choice.
