- 1). Paint the walls a fresh, clean white to take emphasis off of the headboard. If you want the headboard color to pop, use a saturated pastel hue on the walls to keep the palette light but vibrant.
- 2). Dress the bed with linens that complement your color and design scheme. This might mean white eyelet pillow shams and bed skirt, a country patchwork quilt or a luxurious down comforter with a toile or damask duvet cover. Keep the colors light and bright, avoiding rich, dark hues that contrast too sharply with the headboard.
- 3). Add throw pillows with a similar color scheme to the bedding but ones that contain a contrasting pattern, to add visual interest to the bed. Echo this technique in the window treatments, using elements from the bedding to tie the decor together.
- 4). Place an area rug or throw rug on the floor to pick up colors from the bedding and walls and ease the transition to the flooring color.
