Sleep Inducing Hues: The Best Paint Colours for a Calm and Restful Bedroom!

Paint Colours to Create a Restful Bedroom Atmosphere!

Everyone dreams of waking up refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to take on their day!  While many factors play into a great night’s sleep-from your evening routine to the temperature of your room, one often overlooked element is the physical colour of your bedroom walls.

I prefer cooler colours that are muted and calm which pair amazingly with  a cooler temperature room and total darkness.

I’m here to help you choose the perfect paint colour to create a serene, sleep-friendly atmosphere.  Discover the shades that can help you drift off peacefully and wake up feeling your best!

** All colours are Benjamin Moore simply because that is my favourite brand **

 

Classic White

• An all white bedroom is a fantastic paint colour choice for a bedroom .  The bedroom will feel larger and more open because white will reflect the natural light flooding into the room.
• A white room is a great neutral backdrop, or canvas allowing you to easily change your bedding and accessories with the seasons.
• White is a clean and calming colour and has an uncluttered effect on us which allows us to relax and unwind at the end of the day.
• White is classic and timeless and will stand the test of time. Very refined!

 

 

 

Soft Pinks

• Soft pink and blush tones add a touch of warmth without overwhelming the room, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere encouraging relaxation and rest.
• These colours diffuse light and are soft and easy on the eyes, creating a glow that is very serene and natural. The room will feel more peaceful and enveloping.
• These shades are very versatile and work great with natural elements such as light woods, wicker and other natural materials. Pair it with whites and greys and work on a layered room that is very elevated.
• Pinks and blush add a touch of Romanticism without being too harsh or obvious. Very sophisticated!

 

 

Muted Blues

• These shades evoke elements of nature, like the sky or the ocean which can subconsciously encourage thoughts of relaxation. This can help you to unwind at the end of the day and to also wake up feeling peaceful and relaxed.
• These tones are associated with tranquility, serenity and peace. They can help to lower your blood pressure and reduce stress which are great for helping you to fall asleep faster.
• Grey- Blues on the bedroom walls helps to create depth and spaciousness, leaving you with a feeling of open space and room to breath.  This helps to create a room not feeling cramped or cluttered.
• These blue tones help to reflect natural light softly so there aren’t any harsh contrasts.  This helps to create a soothing atmosphere getting you relaxed for sleep.

 

 

Muted Greens

 

• Thinking of a misty forest, early dawn and walking through nature… what is more relaxing than that!  A connection to nature can help ground you and ease any stress plus creates a calm mood.
• These tones are a balance of warm and cool which is promoting a cozy and fresh feeling.  The muted green mixed with grey envelops you like a big hug from nature.
• Muted greens will help to soften any shadows and absorb light.  It’s an easy tone to blend with whites or light creams and wood materials work perfectly with these colours.
• These colours help to relax your mind and helps establish a connection to restorative environments, reminding us that this space is meant for sleep and relaxation.

 

 

Happy Sleeping!!
