What colors to use in the bedroom? RAL and color ideas for a top rest

Colors in the bedroom have an unexpected role: they help define the quality of your rest.

Would you ever have said that?

From here on, you will find not only tips to make your bedroom a comfortable and soothing place, but also ready-made palettes to take inspiration from.

Why is color important?

Chromotherapy , the use of colors to bring well-being and serenity, teaches us that different shades can influence our mood, our emotions and even the quality of our sleep.

A well-calibrated environment in tones can promote a deep and regenerating sleep, while a palette that instills negative sensations in you could even make you wake up with a load of unexpected tiredness in the morning.

Several studies and research have revealed that rooms with warm and too energetic colors such as bright red tend to disturb sleep, while shades of blue, green and gray promote calm. But this does not mean that only cold colors are suitable for the bedroom (we will go into this topic in more detail later).

Each person perceives colors differently, and the real key lies in the balance between hue and natural light .

What are relaxing colors for bedrooms?

Among the most relaxing colors for bedrooms we find:

• Blues : like the sky and the sea, which we often stop to observe and instantly perceive a sense of peace, blues are soothing and restful.
• Greens : they recall natural landscapes and convey well-being, promoting relaxation. It is better to avoid acid green , which is associated, on the contrary, with poisons, acidity and toxicity.
• Purple and pink : calming and meditative, they are perfect, even when paired with each other, for those seeking a dreamy atmosphere.
• Neutral shades : white, beige, gray and dove gray create a neutral base in which to reset your mind at the end of the day.

Is it true that only cool colors are suitable for the bedroom?

Without a doubt, any color containing a generous dose of blue can convey feelings of peace and serenity.

However, we must not limit ourselves to such a narrow choice.

• The bedroom often faces north . In this case, the light that enters through the window during the day is cold and bluish.
  Adding only cold colors could make the environment not very welcoming and welcoming.
  In this case, opting for warm and welcoming shades such as Terracotta (RAL3012), Cinnamon (RAL8000) or Vanilla (RAL1001) can balance the atmosphere and create a cozy nest.

• The subjectivity of color perception should not be underestimated. It is essential to experiment and adapt the shades to your own color sensitivity as well as to the specific characteristics of the room.
