Colours to avoid:
While there are “sedative” colours, some are anxiety-provoking. Very bright yellow or green, for example. They should therefore be avoided in the bedroom, which is a real place of relaxation.
Indeed, citrus colours higher than a safer degree such as beaming orange and yellow are to be avoided absolutely.
Red is not really recommended. In some cases, it is a sign of passion. In a bedroom, it is an aggressive colour! But if you like red, treat yourself to a rug, a pair of curtains, your bed cover, etc. and use it sparingly.
Bonus Tip:
Almost all Interior designing experts agree that if more than three different colours are used in the same space, the eye becomes saturated and sees only confusion. In short, it makes a mess, and three colours are really the right method to obtain a beautiful harmony, a little balance and above all character.
You will also have to know how to dose: you don’t use each of the 3 colours in the same quantity, but proportionally:
- a lot of one (often the most neutral)
- a little of the second and
- a touch of the third (usually the brightest and strongest)
Final Words
In the end, tastes and colours belong to everyone, and what some people like may not be to the liking of others. The best paint colour for your bedroom is the one that suits you the best.
