When choosing bedroom color, it is important not to choose from your current favorites. It is important to ask the question, “Which color is best in a bedroom?” The goal should be to create a space that induces sleep.
‘One also has to consider color psychology – the colors you choose play a large role in the emotional response one has to a space.’
Our bedrooms are our sanctuary. Our bedrooms should be bright or dark, subtle, rich or simple.
Hepfer says, “A sense of comfort that begins with a comfortable mattress and extends to all the tactile components in a bed, from the linen of the pillows to the glaze on a lamp,” she adds. Everything should make you want to exhale a sigh when it is all considered.
