- COLOURS AND TEXTURES
“A bedroom should feel sublime and relaxing,” says iconic
American designer Kelly Wearstler. “Of all the rooms in a home,
it needs to be calming and restorative. Neutrals from decadent
creams to cool dove grays evoke a mood of sexy sophistication
that is simple yet iconic.”
“I always recommend taking a palette of neutrals loaded with
texture, and embracing some seasonal hues in the form of cushions,
throw, blankets or an accent chair that you can refresh when they
feel tired,” says Amrita Khanna, founder and principal designer of
boutique Hong Kong interior design company Zip Code 888.
“For bedrooms which do not have a lot of natural light,
chartreuse, ginger, ochre or ‘Amber Coast’ from Dulux will lend
warming, inspiring and uplifting vibes,” says Frank, adding that
for those wishing to add a playful tone, vibrant shades like yellow,
orange and raspberry can be introduced through multicoloured
wallpaper or bedlinen. Amrita agrees. “For that splash of colour I
am loving terracotta or sun-kissed hues like burnt orange, even a
splash of primrose yellow, to liven up a bedroom,” she says.
“Mix textures rather than patterns,” advises award-winning
British interior designer Katharine Pooley. “Cashmere bed throws
and silk and linen cushions are wonderfully tactile and inviting
textures,” she adds.
“Silk comes in vibrant hues because its fibres absorb the
intensity of dyes very well,” Frank says, adding that it looks
particularly impressive when used in duvet covers, pillowcases or
rugs. “Trims, fringes and tassels on curtains, cushions, chairs and
bedding are making a comeback,” adds Amrita. “To add a spot of
glamour, accessorise with matt ceramics or metals with patina in
organic shapes,” she says.「睡房應予人優美和輕鬆的感覺。」著名美國設計師Kelly
Wearstler表示：「相比起家中其他房間，這裡更需要讓你感平靜
和恢復精神。奶油色和淺灰色等中性色調散發出迷人精緻的感覺，
簡約但奪目。」
本港精緻室內設計公司Zip Code 888的創辦人兼首席設計師
Amrita Khanna說：「我常建議人們採用中性色彩組合搭配質感元
素，再加上帶有今期流行色調的墊子、毛毯，甚至是一張特色椅
子，疲累時能安坐稍作休息。」
「如果睡房欠缺自然光，可利用淡黃綠、薑黃、紅褐色或多
樂士的Amber Coast來提升房間的溫暖感和格調。」Frank續說，
如想為空間注入玩味，可挑選由黃、橙和紅莓色等奪目色調組成
的彩色牆紙或寢具。Amrita也贊同，並指鮮艷的色彩能為空間締
造有趣感覺和個性：「我特別喜愛赤褐色或陽光色系，例如橙紅
色，甚至是一抹淡黃色，為睡房添上生氣。」
「混搭質感比混搭圖案的效果更好。」英國得獎室內設計師
Katharine Pooley說：「羊絨床旗，以及絲質和亞麻布墊子也擁有
優美的觸感和質感。」
Frank解釋：「絲質的顏色大多鮮艷奪目，因其纖維的鎖色效
果非常好。」而絲質羽絨被套、枕頭套和小地毯的款式更特別漂
亮。Amrita補充：「窗簾、墊子、椅子和寢具的邊飾和流蘇設計又
再復興。想加點華美感，可放置飾有綠鏽的啞陶瓷或金屬擺設。」REST ASSURED
