Your days often start and end in one place: your bedroom room. This comforting room must live up to your expectations in all its aspects. Choosing the paint color for your room is not an easy task.
The color must reflect your personality and trigger emotions that bring out the best in you. Even if you do not think about it every day, the dominant color of your room certainly affects you.
Red
Red is characterized by intensity. Whether it invokes love, passion, or anger, this energetic hue always gives a striking first impression. Many people find this color too stimulating for a bedroom. However, if you only spend time in your room after the sunset, the shades of dark red become elegant and soothing.
Orange
Orange is a color full of energy and enthusiasm. It is not typically associated with bedrooms, but it can be perfect for active people who are on the move. The orange can make you think of several pleasant things like a sunset, the freshness of citrus, or a landscape of autumn.
Blue
For people, a little more reserved, blue is a perfect color for the bedroom. This color is considered relaxing, calm, and serene. Blue seems to be the most popular color for men, but it’s also highly associated with women. Very dark shades of blue can be associated with sadness or melancholy.
On the other hand, pale blue hues can enhance the lighting of a room that receives little natural light. Unlike red, blue reduces blood pressure, breathing speed, and heart rate. If you use your room to do homework or your regular job, blue might help to improve productivity!
Green
Green is a refreshing and soothing color for the eyes. It is associated with luck, health, and tranquility. When appropriately used, this color can be perfect for any room in your home. If you’re a nature lover, you will most likely love green. Green is known for its ability to reduce stress.
Mauve
Mauve is associated with luxury, creativity, and relaxation. You can use this color if you’re looking to create a mood that is out of the ordinary (mauve is rarely seen in nature). Recognized as a sophisticated color, mauve is often adored or hated depending on who you ask. Make sure you are on the right side of this equation before making a decision!
The mauve is considered a royal color for centuries. Several historical figures wore it to show their wisdom and wealth. Besides, mauve is associated with spirituality, the supernatural, and the deities.
Pink
A lighter and pale version of red, pink inspires romance and love. It is a color strongly associated with women, but more and more men appreciate it. Pink evokes emotions such as compassion, kindness, and gentleness. This color is known to have calming and creative effects.
Neutral (black, gray, white and brown)
More neutral colors are an excellent choice for a bedroom. These are flexible shades that match well with many personalities.
Since black paint tends to absorb the light in a room, it’s unwise to use it as the dominant color. Opt instead to use it on accessories, furniture, paint a single wall, or other small surfaces/pieces.
White represents purity and innocence. The brightness of the white paint tends to give the illusion of space in addition to lightening your decor.
Brown or beige are natural colors that evoke strength, reliability, and safety. In large quantities, a piece of this color can create an atmosphere of solitude.
