Where better to use an enveloping deep colour than in a bedroom? As well as looking gorgeous, dark colours absorb light rather than bouncing it around, so can make the space feel warm and cosy, and signal it’s time to wind down and relax.
If you’re tempted but not sure which hue to choose, take a look at these schemes, which could help you visualise how a deep shade might look in your room.

Sorry but real book lovers prefer books to kindle .. never ever used kindle and never would but I feel this dark blue is just a fashion statement and in 6 months no one will be using it.. best to use a colour you like personally than go wit the trend.
Many of us have to resort to Kindles as we’ve literally run out of space for all the books we have!!
Wow. Very inspiring.
