Painting your bedroom the wrong color could make a stressful situation. Literally. Studies have discovered that painting your bedroom a too stimulating shade, like red, increases stress. Here are 3 of the best colors to paint your bedroom for a calming effect on your mood.
- Blue – Softer shades are calming and encourage relaxation.
- Green – Relieves stress and helps people relax.
- Purple – Lighter shades, like lilac and lavender, are calming without feeling cold.
There are other colors that can also add a calming effect. Check out this post from House Beautiful as they show you a variety of different color options for 2019.
Set the Tone
Paint colors set the tone. Pillows can add some variety as well as some excitement. And the nice part about pillows is you can change them seasonally and inexpensively for a whole new look. A color wheel can help pick the right color pillow for an analogous color scheme — try colors next to each other on the color wheel, such as blue and green. This is a good strategy for a bedroom, where you want to rest and recover.
Clutter Free
Another strategy for a calm bedroom is to keep your space clutter-free. Try for simple decor ideas and simple accessories. Think about storage items so you have places to put away items so they do not stack up on the dresser or sit in piles on the floor.
We love our electronics! But the one place they do not belong is in the bedroom. Try to eliminate electronic devices in your bedroom and in your bed.
