Paint Colors for Bedroom

There are several factors that are taken into account at the time of selecting the right color for your bedroom. The first and foremost is that the color should be a reflection of your personality. In case you have a partner with whom you are sharing the bedroom, then the color and the design of the bedroom must suit your partner too. Each color has an effect on an individual's mind. Blue and green are two such colors that remind us of natural environment. Hence, they are an excellent choice for the bedroom walls. If you use lots of blues and greens it will help to calm down the tight nerves and will give you a lot of peace of mind. Even pink is soothing too.

Purple has its own sophistication. The earth tones like yellow, orange or brown have a comforting effect. Orange has its own brightness and gives a happy mood. On the other hand, too much yellow is slightly irritating at times. Brown gives a sense of attachment. Red is the color of excitement but should be avoided on the walls. It gives too much of distraction and restlessness. However, it can be used on beds. Black is a very dark color to be used in a bedroom. It gives a smaller look to the room and also tends to make the mood somber. Hence it is better avoided. White color in the bedroom gives a fresh feel where the climate is warm. Otherwise it is quite un-inspiring and boring for the bedroom. It is not at all compulsory that you have to use just one color on the walls of your bedroom. You can use your creative ideas and combine them as per your liking and apply them on the walls.
