Double up the decadence. Traditional boiserie has twice the impact on a colourful wall. Purple paintwork runs on around this room, and closet doors have been selected in a matching hue to keep continuity.

Get on the right track. Double white stripes cut through this purple headboard feature wall, and the design inverts on the other walls in the room. The inverted tracks are a clever way to have colour travel the whole room without flooding every inch of wall space.

Let other colours in. Wall panels receive a vibrant treatment in this sophisticated purple bedroom scheme, behind a piece of swirling wall art. The art includes the same hue, as well as introducing contrasting green into the mix. The green accent is picked up in bedside accessories.

Neutralise to maximise. A stunning purple rug provides the base for a white bed with pink and purple cushions. The bright tones are somewhat neutralised by a dusky accent wall.

Say yes to yellow accents. Deep plum walls make a moody backdrop, deliciously dark for soothing one to sleep. A pale yellow 4 poster bed and matching bedside table lift the shadowy scheme here, as does a light area rug and bright artwork.

Tap into turquoise. A turquoise dresser, teal scatter cushions and accent chair really create a buzz against the backdrop of a dark purple bedroom.

Colour block it out. A dark wall panel breaks the monotony of a long lilac headboard wall. Heavy purple curtains make colour blocks across a window wall.

Give just a hint of a tint. A purple-grey matt finish paint is a subtle way to introduce just a hint of the hue to a modern room. Choose accent cushions in a slightly juicier shade to lift the look.

Find the balance. Purple tones in this room have been balanced out with equal parts white. A colourful ceiling visually warms the space.

Wood tone is wonderful against a purple palette. Consider a wood effect headboard, bed, skirting boards and door reveals. A wood laminate floor will pull it all together.

Fancy a quick fix? A new purple bed set can be enough to blast a dose of your favourite colour into your sleep space. A piece of wall art will carry the hue into the vertical plane.

Pick out some pinstripe. This purple bed throw picks out the matching pinstripe from the wall behind, whilst the rest of the room remains in calming neutrals.

Cut it up. If you don’t want to go the whole hog with a large wall of colour, how about dividing the area into cool geometric sections.

Longing for change in a rental property? Hang textiles to create an easily removable look.

Keep it sweet. A neat upholstered section nestles within the storage headboard of this bedstead, which brings a sweet section of colour to the grey piece. Gold wall sconces and golden accessories enrich the look.

Colour a footboard wall. If you’ve already got a lot going on with your headboard, then flip the script.

Create a mini-room within a room, like this cosy purple cove. Purple trimmed portiere close it off from the larger space when it’s time to sleep.

Savour style statements. From purple closets and drapes to a matching floral mural and colourful modern chandelier, this room throws a purple party.

Promote a high-end look with regency furniture. An elegant bedroom ottoman bench or a french style armchair can prove the perfect companions for a regal purple palette.

Crown the room. A crystal chandelier sparkles in this regal room. Luxuriously pooling window drapes have been crowned with light swags.

Add freshness to the finish with indoor plants. This pale mauve modern bedroom feels very calm and collected, the greenery adds a little unruly zest.

Fashion a tranquil bohemian bedroom. Choose muted shades, gentle pattern and laid-back accessories.

Colour a black or white wall with purple neon lights.

Go two-tone.

Create colour clusters. This purple and blue bedroom groups most of its colour in a central island that’s formed by a purple bed and blue ottoman cubes. Smaller accents draw the colour outward to the rest of the space.

Pack a punch with pattern, like this duo of botanical prints.

Refresh flock. Classic flock wallpaper doesn’t have to look heavy; choose a design with a white background and team with a cool contrasting colour. This purple, green and white bedroom is fun and fresh.

Fall in love with lavender. Lavender and lilac shades make a restful and romantic retreat.

Minimalism doesn’t have to be monochrome. Check out this purple minimalist style bedroom.

Cut yourself a slice of purple themed decor. This scheme slips a slice of bright wallpaper inside a headboard wall recess, colours a few slender drawer fronts and a side slice of the bed cover.

Update a quiet scheme. If you cancel out the ceiling, window blind, duvet and rug, you can see the original pale grey, white and wood tone bones of this room.

It doesn’t take us to tell you that purple is amongst the top of the list for kids’ room colours. We like the way this one contains the lively hue within solid white frames.

Of course there’s always the option to go all out, with purple bedroom furniture, solid walls and window dressings to boot!
