Best Bedroom Colors for Sleep
Can’t get enough? Here are some “honorable mentions”:
- Violet: Violet in the bedroom brings all the associations of lavender – to a moodier degree.
- Ivory: As calming as counting sheep, if for no other reason than it's the same color as sheep!
- Forest green: The flowy, ethereal nature also makes it the best curtain color for a bedroom.
- Dark blue: Like the midnight sky (although, you'd never know, since you'll be fast asleep by then!).
- Auburn: Sort of bricklike in color, a reddish undertone like auburn can give unique flair.
- Magenta: Another red-toned hue, magenta pops. Just err on the side of caution; magenta in the form of one or two throw pillows is all you need for a good energy balance. (Any more than that, and magenta can start to feel too much, real fast.)
