Can colours affect your rest?

The quick answer is yes. Colors, like all sensitive stimuli, have a strong psychological component, that although many times it is not perceptible in a conscious way, affects the way we feel and to act.

The psychology of color has been analyzed for decades, especially in the world of decoration: have you ever noticed that fast food restaurants always use warm colors? Or that gyms tend to be black and white but with big flashes of bright colors like red or green? And in which spas prefer bluish ones?

we bring you the best colors for your rest.

The best colors for bedrooms

The colors that best suit the rooms are those that generate the greatest state of relaxation and tranquility. Usually these colors are usually rather cold (from bluish, green and purple), although, with some exception.

The blue, in most of its tones, helps the body to relax and regulate circadian rhythms, which, after all, are what help you sleep. The memory it produces of the sea and peace plunges the body into sleep. On its lighter variants greatly expands the space of the rooms (for this reason it is recommended in small bedrooms), while the dark tones generate peace but dwarf the room (it is better to use them in large spaces).

The yellow (contrary to what it seems) is the second best color to sleep. In their softer, lower tones promotes relaxation of the nervous system.

The silver gray tones They are very simple and create a relaxing atmosphere. Some studies prove that silver reflections are reminiscent of moonlight, being the cause of a increased melatonin production. However, should not be used in excess since it can be very stimulating if it shines a lot.

Another of the colors that best suits us to sleep is the green, since it provides a natural touch, relax your eyes and creates a positive environment that makes us wake up in a better mood.

On the other hand, the worst colors for a bedroom are the dark gray, because it causes a feeling of loneliness and restlessness, and the strong reddish and orange tones, because they stimulate the brain a lot.

What color do I put the bedding?

For bedding, the colors mentioned above are also beneficial. However, it must make a good mix between cool and warmer tones to balance the range bedroom color scheme. 

In rooms where there are only warm colors there is greater overexcitement and in those where cold and muted colors dominate, a more somber and sad atmosphere is breathed that can also affect rest.

For example, if you decide to paint the room in a bluish tone, it might be a good idea to add a duvet cover or some cushions in very soft yellow tones, to create greater harmony.

It is important that bedding tend to light tones, since in dark ones it is more difficult to distinguish dirt and tends to change them less. It is also recommended change the bedding at least once a week.
