Choosing Wall Colors for the Bedroom

Choosing a color for your bedroom can do wonders for your mood by either perking you up in the morning or helping you fall asleep at night.  So when choosing a color, choose wisely and to your advantage.

Here are some basic coloring ideas for your bedroom walls to get you started:

1. Wall Colors – A bright yellow can seem like a “happy” choice but seeing it every day may not help you relax.  Instead try a golden yellow or even a green for a calming effect.  Peach and pink can do well for your moods if you don’t find them to be too girly.
2. Wardrobe Colors – Cabinets take up quite a bit of space in a room so you should only choose dark colored woods for a well lit room.  If the room is too dark, it may give a feeling of gloominess.
3. Bedsheet Colors – Bedsheets serve a focal point in your bedroom.  It’s quite important to choose a color scheme before coloring your bedroom and use the comforter of the bed as your focal point.  If the bed is big enough, you can add additional small pillows to coordinate different shades of colors.

It is also quite important to include enough lighting in the room or open up the windows to allow light inside.   If you are going for a romantic look, try replacing your bulbs for a lower wattage to emit warm yellow light to gain a soothing look.
