There are many issues you may consider when buying a new bed, but if you have been carefully developing a particular décor, you will want to make sure that its appearance does not clash with the rest of the bedroom.
Of course, every bedroom is different. Not all of them have a single theme or colour; indeed, if you have children (especially teenagers), anything remotely ordered or structured may be very hard to find.
However, for many people, a consistent style or décor is important and that can mean either having a single dominant colour or a complementary combination of different shades.
This raises the question of where the bed fits in. Of course, part of the colour will be down to your choice of bedclothes. You can always get a duvet set to match the main colour of the room. However, large structures such as the headboard will either stand out or blend in.
For that reason, it makes sense to choose the headboard carefully and check that it matches.
If you want a headboard to match an existing colour scheme, that can make the choices simpler. On the other hand, you may be planning to fully redecorate the room as well as getting a new bed, in which case the two will need to match up.
Where Can You Find Inspiration For The Colour Of Your Décor?
A dedicated follower of fashion might look at the latest in-vogue ideas for interiors. Others may look for inspiration in annual themes like the Pantone Colour of the Year.
If you were to do that, the 2026 colour is ‘Cloud Dancer’, the first time a shade of white has been chosen. That, however, raises a question: would you really want to base such a choice on one year’s colour, especially when it differs from every other year?
Over the years, the Pantone colours of the year have included various reds, blues, pinks, yellows and greens, among others. Some will have found inspiration from them, but even then there are variations. For example, there have been some very different pinks:
- Pale pinks such as Rose Quartz in 2016 and Peach Fuzz in 2024
- Darker pinks like Fuchsia Rose in 2001 and Honeysuckle in 2011
- Pink-adjacent hues like Living Coral in 2019
The same can apply to blue, which Pantone has featured several times and, according to global research, is the most popular colour all over the world. Nonetheless, some will like a stark, deep blue and others a pale blue, so there is still room for variation.
Moreover, the same surveys that show blue to be the most common favourite will vary widely when it comes to the second most common favourite. If you prefer red, green, purple or yellow, you will be in good company.
For this reason, the best advice is to look at our range of various headboards. Each of these comes with a wide choice of colour shades, which enables you to choose something that fits the bedroom colour scheme of your dreams:
