Cool down a bedroom that gets alot of sun with an emerald green that's rich, but has a blue tone.

It will feel cozy yet sophisticated, team it with an inky blue headboard and crisp white bedding. Add warmth with rich wood accessories – pale blond is too pale, look for acacia wood, mahogany, or walnut.
