It's easier to transform a drab space into a welcoming haven than you might think. Try the following:
Passion Colours

Black and WhiteThe two extreme colors are white and black. Black is an attention grabber, and can create a bedroom with a dark, sultry look. Unfortunately it will also make the room look smaller.

White is a good colour for bedrooms in warm climates as it reflects light, which create cooler temperatures and a breezy feeling.
