Establish your own colour story

Now that you’ve chosen your theme, its time to establish your colour story.

A colour story is the combination of complementing or contrasting colours to tell a story. Normally what you can do is to choose your favourite colour and work around it by choosing its complementing or contrasting colours that suits you.

Splurge on What Matters
At this point, you’ve already chosen a theme ready. Your colour story is somehow in place. Its now time to decide on what’s important for your room.

The Bed
The most important part of the room is the bed. It serves as the focal point of your room. To help you decide on what kind of bed to get, consider the two general classification of beds:

Upholstered Bed

☑ Can have rip and tears that damages its appeal.
☑ May appear dated after a period of time.
