Colours can affect your sleep, so choose wisely

How are Colours in a Bedroom Different from the Other Rooms of the Home?

Your home is an expression of yourself. It is a reflection of you and your design sensibility. Some parts like the living room are for storytelling about your life and taste, heirloom objects with a backstory, an artwork you love, a curious object that is a conversation starter when you entertain, etc. Other parts of the home, such as the bedroom, is an inward projection of what you feel and what makes you feel at ease. It is a personal area, a sanctuary. And hence when one selects colours for the bedroom it must be a very personal restful choice. There are always colours that we think of as celebratory and others that we think of as calming, the bedroom should incorporate hues from the latter end of the spectrum. You must be able to rest and withdraw when you’re in the bedroom.

Are there Any Basic Tips that One Must Keep in Mind While Choosing Colours for a Restful Space

Colours can affect our temperament is a well-known fact and colour in a large scale on a wall or in a room can affect us far more. What not to use: Avoid using pure colours, such as reds, blue, and greens. Think of them as the colours available in the smallest art kit available of maybe six to eight colours—except for white, please don’t use the others all over the walls of a bedroom. These colours when painted on a large wall can influence our mood and behaviour to be energetic which is opposite of a restful room, and they can also create aggressiveness or anxiety. Use lighter, deeper tones to create a more restful environment. Instead of a bright Sporty Yellow (X104) use light colours like Pristine Linen(L153), Caribbean Sky (7419), Cream Custard (7897). Instead of a Scarlet Sun-N (9981) use deeper colours like Mossy Bark (8414), Kahlua Cream-N (K279), Straw Mat (8575).
