Who doesn’t want a bedroom that’s comfy and cozy? Choose bedroom colours that are inviting so you and your guests can get a good night’s sleep.
Brown
Rich, deep tones of brown are warm and cozy. They create a look that’s dark enough in which to sleep, but still warm enough to let you wake up in a good mood. If you’re afraid of going too dark, choose cream or white for most of the fabrics in the room to help create balance.
Plum
Purple is an odd colour: Depending on the shade, it can be warm or cool. Stick to warm colours for an inviting bedroom feel. Plum tones (the warmest ones have red undertones) are perfect for a room that’s modern, classy and comfortable.
Blue
Be careful with your blues. Blue is a calming colour, which makes it great for bedrooms. The problem is that the wrong shade of blue can be downright depressing. Opt for an aqua blue to invoke a beachy feel or a pastel blue to make you think of the sky. Avoid deep or bright blues because they can make bedrooms feel a little too dark and depressing.
Beige
Sometimes, less is more — especially in a bedroom. Go with a neutral tone in this room, where you want to leave the world behind and drift off on your own. Need a little more colour than that? Use fabrics, pillows, candles and paintings to bring an accent colour to the space.
Gold
Bright yellow is just too stimulating for a room where all you want to do is sleep. Instead, go with shades of gold. These deeper takes on yellow and orange are still warm and cozy but a little more conducive to sleep.
