Bedroom colours to boost your mood

Not everyone wakes up early by desire. Some of us are habitual early risers, some are forced because of work or school but it’s not every day leaving your cosy bed is easy. But to make the process a little easier and instantly feel better, your bedroom colour scheme can play a major role. Since lighting and colours effect our mood immensely, read below to find out some of the bedroom colours that will put you in a happier mood instantly as compiled by House Beautiful.

Light Lilac

This lovely shade of lilac is solid proof that you can decorate with colour while still being understated. This light lilac colour if done right with the right drapes, bedding and bedroom accessories can also exude a calm, serene energy. The key is to stick to a colour series of muted pastels (if you don’t want to opt for one shade) and play with contrasting textures, shapes, and finishes to make sure it doesn’t look overwhelming.

Blush Pink

Blush pink is a popular bedroom colour choice especially for young girls. It’s feminine yet chic. Lately, this colour has become more acceptable and even adults are opting for this shade of pink for their bedrooms. If you want to give your room a classic touch of French country chic, opt for a curvy Venetian-inspired headboard and cut-out velvet as a bed or couch throw.

Ice Blue

When we talk about ice blue, a soft soothing blue comes to our mind. It feels like a breath of fresh air when you walk into the room. It gives a touch of ethereal, dreamy quality to every space but also offers a tonne of versatility and that makes it particularly well-suited for the bedroom. The fuss free bedding and side table accent chair contribute to that easy, undone elegance.

Light Grey

An ultra-pale shade of grey is very convenient to work with. This shade works well with any kind of furniture and window drapes. The colour is best suited with green and indigo tones. But because of the less-demanding nature of this hue it can easily be decorated with almost all shades and colours, from vibrant to pastel hues. Opt for a similar shade if you’re looking for a subtle neutral that’ll be a little less jarring on the eyes than a bright white.

Beige

Beige might be an old but a popular choice due to its dependable, versatile, warm, and subtle feel. It’s one of the best paint colours for any room especially a bedroom. A light taupe shade will contrast just enough with crisp interiors. It will bring some warmth and balance into the space. It also brings to mind long walks on a sandy beach. Add pops of cheerful colours with decor and throw pillows for that “happy” feeling.

Mint Green

You can bring your dream summerhouse feeling right in your permanent bedroom by opting for this soothing and calm shade of green. You can give your room a touch of old school classic bedroom by pairing it with retro style or traditional headboard and accessories. The traditional landscape painting and warm wood furniture will balance the space perfectly and will complement well with the mint green paint.
