Use different shades of purple, lavender and blue to turn your bedroom space into a cozy and relaxing Very Peri haven.
Very Peri is a unique color on the purple palette that is near lavender but not far from lilac. It's a striking shade that works well as the main color, or an accent. It also pairs well with a variety of other colors to turn your bedroom into a Very Peri haven.
You can pair other colors such as deep greens, bright yellows, off-whites, magenta, pastel pink, orange, and deep red with Very Peri. This gives you a wide range of freedom when it comes to picking rugs, pillows, paintings, lighting options, and more.
Very Peri works great for all ages, though it works best in mature and elegant spaces. Included below is inspiration for your next Very Peri bedroom.

In a bedroom, consider mixing muted shades of Very Peri to turn your sleeping space into a relaxing haven of your home.

Very Peri and other shades of lavender will both absorb and reflect light. In rooms where darkness or shadows can be an issue, consider blending in white near a window and on central focal areas of the room for brightness.
This color combination will keep the room bright and free from shadows while also remaining relaxing and calming for your mind.

Very Peri is a muted and calmer shade of lavender, but it works well with other purple shades. If Very Peri alone seems too drab, try adding bright purples or deep plum colors to the room to help spice up the space and draw your eye to certain areas.
5. Mix in bright yellows for country charm

The lavender color is halfway between blue and red, and as such will blend well with colors in either primary color table. If you want to add a few sparks of brightness to the room, consider using pinks or magentas.
These brighter shades blend exceptionally well with Very Peri and look great in bedrooms and other relaxing spaces.

Even in smaller rooms, this little trick can help your spaces feel larger. Don’t lump all of your Very Peri colors together in one area. Instead, spread them out around the room to make it feel larger than it is.
This works great with reading chairs and ottomans, or even wall decorations such as paintings or clocks.

Blending decor is a term used for decorative items in a room that help combine two contrasting colors. For example, a Very Peri room with deep dark furniture can be tied together with a framed artwork that uses colors from both color palettes.
Blending decor can be a powerful addition to any room where contrasting colors might seem a bit too obvious.

Try mixing the Very Peri color with other shades including pinks, blues, and other pastels, or adding in grays, tans, and other earthtones for a mature yet relaxing decor combination.

Very Peri and other shades of lavender are extremely versatile. If you love being bold and straying away from the “usual” uses of the color, try mixing it up by blending in bright primary colors such as green, blue, or yellow.
These colors will contrast highly, but can also blend together well when used minimally and with various decor additions to the room such as rugs and lamps.

It may not feel like it, but the red color palette makes an excellent contrasting color to use with various shades of purple. Try using a variety of reds, oranges, or yellows to contrast with your Very Peri bedroom.
Bedding, pillows, window coverings, wall decor, lamps, or other decor with reds as the primary color can work nicely in a Very Peri bedroom.

Using Very Peri colors wall molding can help a room with high ceilings feel much more cozy. It also helps by allowing plenty of bright light to reflect around the room, reducing shadows and dark spots.
Try using short wall molding in your favorite purple shade to make a room feel smaller and more cozy, yet not limiting the brightness from a window or overhead lighting.

Try adding green pillows, reading chairs, potted plants, or wall art that blends both purple and green together for a great contrasting combination for your bedroom.

They don’t contrast so much as they blend together, and can help brighten your mood as soon as you walk into the room.

If whimsy and high contrast is not to your liking, consider going for the heavily muted colors instead. Pale lavenders and light grays can be an excellent addition to a white room. Not only does this color add a little something extra to a stark white room, but it does not go out of its way to be eye-catching or obtrusive.

Try using it as an equally dominant color in a room, or use it as a subdued accent color. Either way, peach can add a new level of relaxation and brightness to a mostly lavender or purple room.

Try going for the darker shades of bright to avoid becoming too whimsical, such as deep purple, stormy blue, or coral.

This can easily be done with lighting fixtures, framed images, bedding, and rugs.

Try adding a few accent pieces of pink or magenta to your Very Peri room to see how it feels. Pillows, throw blankets, tabletop decor, and clocks can be a great way to get started with this color blending.

Brown is a color many people will avoid. It can be dark, dreary, and seemingly not suitable for a bedroom. However, when paired with Very Peri and other pale shades of purple, both tan and brown can make a wonderful accent color. It adds an overall feel of rustic elegance without being too distracting or obtrusive to the eye.

Changing up the shapes to go along with different colors is a great way to add contrast and variety to any bedroom.
27. Don’t limit yourself to just using one or two colors
Sometimes finding the right color blend for your bedroom can be difficult. If sticking with just two or three colors seems limiting, try adding in even more. Tan, light brown, lavender, stormy gray, pale blue, off-white, and cream colors all work well together. You can even add in yellows or wood tones for extra depth and gentle contrast.

If your bedroom overlooks a large lake or ocean, try using deep blues as accent or main colors indoors. Using decorative window dressing and wall art can also help blend everything together nicely.

If you love a bit of whimsy, but don’t want your bedroom to look like a children’s daycare, try using darker shades of contrasting color. Rich plum, deep red, forest green, navy blue, and other deep colors can work exceptionally well as contrasting accents in the same room.
Use window coverings, bedding, wall decor, flowers in a vase, or other decorative accents to help tie it all together.
30. Green can be your best friend in a mostly blue room
Deep shades of purple or blue can be hard to pair with other colors, but green may be the answer when no other colors are. Consider mixing in olive green or deep forest greens with your deep Very Peri, stormy blue, or dark purple room for the best contrasting combination around.
Muted shades of tan or cream can help break up the darkness with some lighter eye-catching accents too.
