Five Perfect Colors for Bedrooms
Your bedroom should be a relaxing retreat, and good bedroom design starts with choosing the right colors. Learn about five perfect colors for bedrooms and how to use and combine them in your space in this D.Signers video:
1. Blue – Relaxing and Calm
Blue is the most relaxing hue on the color wheel. It has positive effects on the mind and body and evokes calmness and relaxation, putting your mind in the right mood for the night because it helps slow down human metabolism. There are different ways to go about creating blue color combinations for bedrooms. You can stick to one shade of blue or mix several tones together, then pair your selection of blues with white, light gray or beige. Blue is perfect for combining with natural materials and wooden elements because it provides contrast and warmth in the space. If you like to incorporate metal, gold is the perfect choice.
2. Green – Relaxing and Pleasing
Green is a natural choice in interior design as an ideal background or backdrop because we are so used to seeing it everywhere in nature. Like blue, it provides both mental and physical relaxation. Considered as the most restful color, green has a calming effect and is believed to also help relieve stress. It’s perfect in light tones for small spaces because it gives a sense of freshness and airiness to the space. Green is perfect for combining with other colors or earthy tones like beige, light brown, light or dark gray, and natural wooden touches. If you want to incorporate metal, gold details are a must-have. If you want to create a huge contrast and have a fun combination, pink can be the perfect add-in color.
3. Pink – Calming Effect
Pink is a color that inspires warmth and comfort. Studies confirm that the color pink can have a calming effect on the nerves. In color psychology pink is a sign of hope. The color pink gives the feeling that everything will go well or be OK. You don’t have to overdo this color; just pick only one element that can convey your statement such as a accent wall, ottoman, pillows or blankets. How you combine pink is crucial to get a specific look. To achieve an elegant style, combine it with white, beige, blue, gray or earthy tones.
4. White – Serene and Fresh
White is perfect for the bedroom because it is serene, fresh and bright, and it is the perfect color for small or dark spaces. The secret to decorating with white is adding a little extra something. White has endless possibilities for combinations, but now it’s very popular to combine it with black accents, furniture or flooring in light wooden finishes, and rustic and decor elements made from natural materials to create a Scandinavian feel. If you want to add a pop of color, pale blue, blush pink, or pastels are great for taking up secondary positions.
5. Dark Gray – Dramatic
If you like a dramatic space, dark gray is perfect for you, but before you choose it, evaluate the quantity of natural lighting you have in the space. It’s not a good color for small or dark spaces. If you have sufficient lighting, dark gray is perfect as an accent. For a contemporary look, you can mix several tones of gray together to create a neutral, elegant and monochromatic atmosphere. To warm up the space, select furniture in wooden and rustic finishes and some natural plants to create a cozy sensation.
