Bedroom Colour That Promote A Peaceful Sleep

Your bedroom is your sanctuary. It is where you retreat after a long stressful day to relax and re-energise, so everything should be set up to motivate sleep.

The colour of your walls, furniture and other accessories play a very important role in the amount of sleep you get and how fast you fall asleep. Some colours relax your heartbeat, thereby encouraging you to sleep while others make falling asleep more difficult.

When decorating a bedroom, most people stick with their favourite colour, but it is important to consider how colour can help you relax and sleep. With this in mind, it is paramount to use a colour that will help you get maximum rest.

We have selected furniture and home accessories with the top 3 bedroom colours that promote good sleep.

Blue

Blue mimics the image of a crystal-clear sky, or the image of a waterfront. This image sends a message to the brain that you’re in a calm environment, lowering your heart rate and blood pressure, which in turns helps you sleep.

All shades of blue can evoke a calm atmosphere.

Yellow

Yellow is both relaxing and calming and can help you feel comfortable in your bedroom. While yellow is not always sleep-inducing, it can be pleasant to wake up in a yellow bedroom because of the colour’s happy connotations. As with blue, stick with lighter shades that are less likely to disturb your sleep.

Green

Painting your bedroom walls green or adding green furniture and accessories into your bedroom evokes images of nature such as gardens, grass, and all the gifts of nature—a reassuring contrast to our fast-paced, technology-driven lives.

Match green with white bedding for a welcoming result that will make you want to crawl into bed and stay.
