Bedroom colours: What to do, and what not to do

Are you thinking of painting your bedroom? And you’re not sure yet about what might be the colour for it? Adam and its experienced professionals are here to answer these questions. 

Our bedrooms are our sanctuaries, the places we relax, sleep, spend time getting ready or watching TV. It has a significant importance to feel comfortable and calm while being in it. So we would think that the colours we are surrounded with are giving the pace to our mood. 

What not to do?

Bright colours

Intense red, fuchsia, magenta, ivy green or royal blue are going to create tension to the eye, which is not helpful if you are seeking relaxation. Maybe try these colours in another room, such as the living room. 

Cold toned colours 

Colours such as grey, black or dark shades create a cold atmosphere and a not so friendly environment. In your bedroom, you will need more warm colours that will create a nest for you to sleep and relax. 

Plain white 

You would not imagine that white is one of the things not to do. White is an easy colour, and fits perfectly with almost any style you are seeking. But white is considered a cold colour, that is formless and quite impersonal. So we wouldn’t suggest using it, unless you are thinking of painting at least one of the other walls a different colour. 

What to do?  

Neutral colours

Choosing neutral colours is a classic option and are always suitable for every room in the house. Try for tones that are not intense to the eyes, that emit calmness and warmth. Colours based on beige, caramel or even darker undertones will surely help you feel safe in your bedroom. See some inspiration below for colours you can consider.

We suggest: Cuppa Coffee 

And a darker option: Warrior 

Aqua & blue colours

Blue colours are connected to mind calmness and relaxation. That is why it is thought to be one of the most acceptable and best options for your bedroom. If you need help finding the best hue for you click on our calculator and a professional will guide you to the perfect one! 

Here's one to try: Dragonfly

Or for a light choice: Sonata

Orange colours 

Orange and its different shades are capable of giving warmth and creating a good mood so you can relax in your bedroom. Tints closer to clay colours or light creamy tones in combination with natural furniture will provide peace at heart and mind. 

Maybe you can try: Oatmeal cookie 

Or something darker: Red Clay
