Which colors care for a relaxed, smooth and above all healthy sleep?

Did you know that the colors in your bedroom influence your sleeping quality? No? Let us tell you which colors have a positive resp. a negative influence on your sleep.

Generally, soft and discreet pastel colors are relaxing and calming. Dark, loud colors stimulate the brain and are disturbing. They might lead to sleep disturbances resp. sleeplessness – that is why these colors are not really the perfect choice for your bedroom. If you can’t do without vibrant colors add focal points, with some pillows or curtains, for example.

The effects of individual colors

Blue

Blue is connected with relaxation and peace. Shades of blue remind us of water and blue sky. They also positively influence our blood pressure and pulse.

Yellow

Your bedroom looks comfortable and pleasant when the walls are painted in a warm shade of yellow. Yellow is relaxing our eyes and has a positive influence on our nerves. But be cautious: don’t use too much yellow, it might become depressing.

Orange

According to Feng Shui, orange is the color of luck. Orange is radiating warmth and coziness. Sparingly use bright orange – this color has a stimulating effect and keeps awake. Orange is said to support digestion.

Green

Green is the color of nature and has a harmonizing, calming effect. Health, luck, security and balance are associated with the color green. Especially in combination with blue, green is perfect for your bedroom.

Brown

Brown is an ideal color for the floor (a parquet flooring, for example). Used as wall paint it might have an oppressive effect.

White

On the one hand, white is very cold, boring and sterile. On the other hand it also might be felt as being pure and clean. Colorful accessories (bedlinen, pillows, curtains etc.) easily counteract a “boring white”.

Soft pink

Due to its calming and sleep supporting characteristics, soft pink is very suitable for the bedroom (besides blue, green and indigo).

In any case, care for natural and breathable colors. If you prefer wallpapers use some with big patterns. They have a calming effect.
