Bold colors need good lighting to show their true hue. Insufficient light makes bold colors look flat and muddy.
Paint all walls for a cocooning effect, or do an accent wall behind the headboard. Ceiling paint one shade lighter than walls creates a seamless, calming envelope.
A deeper tone behind the headboard draws the eye and anchors the bed as the focal point. Wainscoting or board-and-batten with a two-tone paint scheme adds architectural interest.
Satin gives bold colors depth and richness. Matte works but can look chalky on very saturated colors.
Bold colors almost always require primer (gray-tinted primer for best results) and 2-3 coats of paint.
Matte or flat finish creates the most restful atmosphere in bedrooms. It reduces light reflection that can disturb sleep.
