Your Bedroom Should Be Your Favourite Room In Your House!

When the long day is over and FINALLY enter your bedroom, you want to feel relaxed, rejuvenated, and even confident. Believe it or not,  bedroom paint colours actually affect the way you feel. Before you can understand how colour may impact your behaviour, you have understanf how it affects your mood. Below are the five best colours to choose from when painting your bedroom, and how they may improve your mood!


Sky Blue


If you dream of waking up feeling hopeful and clear-headed a light blue colour may be for you! Colour psycologists say that sky blue reminds us of sunny mornings and crashing ocean waves. It also won’t create overwhelming feelings of excitement or exertion and instead provoke feelings of serenity and peace.

Dark Gray


Dark gray is one of those colors that people often worry will produce negative feelings. When it comes to a bedroom paint colour like dark grey, it really comes down to personal preference. Some people may find that this gray background doesn’t leave them feeling refreshed, while others will find it calming and even elegant. Not sure how dark gray will make you feel but find yourself drawn to this colour? Try using dark grey on an accent wall before taking the plunge to paint the whole room!


Light Green


Light green tones like sage and eucalyptus are some of the best bedroom colours for overactive minds. These light earthy tones are grounding and rejuvenating at the same time. The coolness of the grey undertone can create a sense of peace while the earthiness of the green brings the spring season to mind, reminding us that each day is an opportunity for growth and joy.


Lavender


Purple tones are some of the most unique in the colour spectrum, as they combine warmth and coolness. Lavender bedroom walls will make your bedroom feminine and inviting without losing the serenity you would get from blue or green walls.

In fact, lavender isn’t the only shade of purple worth considering for your bedroom. Dark purple is considered the colour of royalty. A room with dark purple walls (or even a dark purple accent wall) will make your bedroom feel luxurious and rich, increasing your feeling of confidence and drive.


Neutral Tones


What do we mean by neutral tones? Neutral tones in residential painting tend to refer to colours like beige, white, taupe, and warm grey. They are light colours that can make the space feel bigger and better lit and they’re undemanding visually, which means that almost anyone will like them.

And hey, maybe you’re not looking for bedroom paint colours to suit your own needs and desires. Maybe you’re getting ready to sell your house and you want to know which paint colours will make your house move the fastest. Time and time again, real estate experts will tell you that neutral tones when you’re putting your house on the market!


No matter what colour you choose, painting your bedroom can make all the difference in the world, changing the look, the feel, and the vibe.
