Do you have difficulty falling asleep? Before getting to the sleeping pills, have you thought about changing the color of your bedroom walls? Indeed, colors strongly influence the atmosphere of a room, and our well-being when we spend time inside those walls.
The decorative atmosphere of our room and especially its dominant color can sometimes disrupt our sleep, or on the contrary, make it more pleasant and long! And if you’re just wondering what color to paint your wall to sleep well, follow our advice and turn your bedroom into a sleeping haven in just two brushstrokes!
A bedroom in natural tones for an unruffled sleep
In a bedroom, you can easily bet on a palette of beige, cream, sand or iced brown to envelop your room in softness. Elegant in summer and winter, this cozy look will give a soothing atmosphere to your sleeping area.
Walls, decorative accessories, bed linen, soft rugs, natural wood furniture – this Zen color chart can be subtly combined and easily kept from floor to ceiling, being ideal to ensure a romantic and very cozy atmosphere.
Good to know: light tones are preferable for small rooms, where there is a lack of light. If this is your case, choose a light beige or a cream color that will help you brighten it all up, with a few small touches of color (very discreet), such as blue, for example.
Green for a cozy atmosphere
Green is a tone to put on the color podium, if you wish to sleep well! However, with this shade, it’s all about balance, especially if discussing bedroom design. Indeed, it is necessary to harmonize the colors of your palette well so as not to obtain an overly toned result.
The trick is to complete this shade with a soft secondary color like blue. The mix of sea green and pastel blue will bring real softness to your room.
Green is also an anti-stress color, bringing a touch of nature to your room. Bet on some green accessories with your bed linen, decorative cushions or a rug and do not hesitate to combine them with warmer shades. The most daring ones can even use darker shades, very trendy now.
Note: the sage green color is ideal for a bedroom. It is a soothing and subtle color that has the advantage of easily pairing with other soft colors, such as pale pink or gray blue.
Soft colors for a feng shui bedroom
Pink is the height of delicacy and will ensure a calming ambiance in any bedroom, allowing you to sleep well. Powdered or vintage, pink will not only bring a slight feminine touch to your room but will also ensure a reassuring and cozy effect. Synonymous with softness, this elegant shade is conducive to daydreaming and will allow you to gradually fall into the arms of Morphée. Combine a pale pink with shades of gray or cream for a very cocooning mix.
Be careful, however, not to opt for fuchsia or bright pink, the energizing effect of these tangy shades would indeed make your sleep more difficult. For a feng shui bedroom, be sure to choose a soft dominant color, which you can then associate with a few touches of darker colors to bring a little depth to the decor of your room. Another advantage of pink is that it is a cheerful color that will help you start the day with the right foot!
A purple bedroom for a harmonious atmosphere
Purple is a very elegant color that brings a slight touch of femininity to the room. This shade is filled with subtlety and will envelop your room in a veil of softness. Be careful, however, to properly dose the color to avoid the overload that could disturb your sleep. Go for a deep purple or shades of lilac for a calming atmosphere. Purple will bring you all the calm you need to successfully fall asleep peacefully.
In the case of a dark purple, painting a wall or two at most may be sufficient. Dark colors tend to visually shrink a room, especially by causing it to lose its brightness. It may therefore be interesting to counterbalance this effect by associating it with a lighter and softer paint color, such as off-white or a pale pink.
Blue for a soothing bedroom
Sky, turquoise, indigo or pale … blue is THE color that invites you to escape and relax. Ideal shade in the bedroom, blue is conducive to rest. For example, bet on a set of pastel blues to accentuate the softness of your decor. But do not hesitate to shade this color with other soft ones to avoid a certain gloom. For example, pair it with a palette of gray. The result will not only be very contemporary but it will also make your sleep easier.
The darker shades are not to be neglected either. If your room naturally benefits from good light, you can dare to use midnight blue, Prussian blue or duck blue! These colors will give a strong character to your room and will be enough on their own to make up all the decor. These more masculine colors should be reserved for a large master bedroom. Unlike light tones, dark colors will have the advantage of letting your eyes rest more, symbolizing the natural twilight of the night, thus leading you gently to sleep.
White for a room full of light
Whatever we say, white remains a safe bet for the bedroom. This neutral color reflects serenity and the calm for unruffled sleep. However, it makes it easy to fall into a rather impersonal aseptic clinical effect. To avoid this result, the trick is to add different colored decorative accessories. Bet on a palette of pastels such as peach, salmon pink or sky blue, especially on the cushions and bed linen to keep all the freshness of this decorative atmosphere.
Darker shades, such as a beautiful pine green or petrol blue, will instead bring depth to your room and bring back a little warmth. In this case, do not hesitate to use the chosen complementary color in different shades to create a smooth transition between white and the darker color.
Whichever color you choose, keep in mind the rule of three: the first color, that is to say the dominant color, should be used on about 80% of the colored area, while the second color takes up. 15%. The remaining 5% is reserved for a third color, often planned for accessories, such as cushions or vases.
And if your room’s walls are already painted and dry, it’s time to shop for the best furniture to place against them! For this, you can access the New York Furniture Outlets catalog, for some exquisite items at reasonable prices.
