If you want splash and dash in your master bedroom tour de force, choose a complementary motif with colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. In either case, here's an important tip: The easiest way to colorize a room is to select the largest pattern in the space first and then pull colors from that pattern. This bedroom, designed by Lori Dennis, follows the 60-30-10 rule of successful color. The main color palette (the 60) is the pleasing neutral on the walls and window treatments. The splash of burnt orange on the organic bedcovers adds a pleasing bright spot (30), and the accents in a darker hue add the contrasting 10 percent.
