Colors That Can Improve Sleep

Purple – Use purple as an accent color for one wall and match it with the bedding

Blue – Alternate shades of blue for a less monotonous look

Green – Match the bedding with the walls for a cohesive décor

It’s frustrating to go to bed tired but struggle to fall asleep. Similarly, falling asleep doesn’t guarantee feeling rested when you wake up due to inability to fully relax. These issues can stem from stress and other factors that are not easily resolved.

However, there is something you can do. Create a calming atmosphere in your bedroom by choosing the appropriate colors and decor.

Green.

Green is a beautiful color associated with nature, making it a great choice for a bedroom. When painting the walls green, opt for a pleasant shade, preferably a darker one to avoid an unappealing look. Creating a relaxing mood is important, so choose tranquil and soft colors, like green, that remind us of nature.

Blue is a color associated with water and the sky. Despite being cold, it is calming and relaxing. It pairs well with white, but warm colors like earthy browns, yellow, or red should also be used to achieve a balanced room.

For a truly relaxing bedroom, consider giving up the TV. While it may seem relaxing, it actually stimulates the brain and prevents it from unwinding.

Purple.

Purple is an interesting color resulting from the combination of blue and red, cold and warm tones. Its classification as a cold or warm color is difficult to determine. However, purple is a beautiful color that can be both soothing and relaxing, especially in light shades like lilac.

In the case of the bedroom, color is essential, but so is cleanliness and airiness. A cluttered bedroom with clothes on chairs and items out of place is not conducive to relaxation. Therefore, it is crucial to keep your bedroom clean and organized.

Now let’s move on to discussing the color pink.

We understand that pink is often associated with femininity, but in this case, we’ll focus solely on its effects on the brain. A subtle pink shade can be very soothing and calming, similar to a light, almost white color but with a warmer feeling. To enhance the background, you can add accent features in more vibrant shades of pink.

Lavender is known for its beneficial and relaxing effects, making it ideal for the bedroom to promote better sleep. Consider using lavender spray on your pillowcases or having lavender plants in the room.

Now let’s talk about the color orange.

A color doesn’t have to be pastel to be relaxing. For instance, orange is a strong color but can create a cheerful atmosphere in the bedroom, helping you sleep better. Another important factor is temperature.

You might have noticed improved sleep when the room is cool versus when it’s hot. Consider turning down the heat for better rest. Picture sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
