Not all paint colours are meant for the bedroom. Here’s what an expert shares on the paint colours to avoid.
In a general aspect, outside the bedroom, we can already see how colours can affect our mood, sometimes even what we eat.
According to a report in mbg Health, expert Anjie Cho, shares that bright colours are a big no-no for bedroom walls.
Specifically, stating that colours such as fiery reds and oranges, vibrant greens, neon or bright blues, and neon or bright yellows should be avoided as these colours boost your energy and are too intense for sleeping.
Cho continues to say, that more neutral tones are encouraged because it will help you feel calm, at ease, and peaceful.
“Softer hues and pale and earthy neutrals are more soothing for sleep,” Cho says to mbg health. These colours include, creamy beiges, sage greens, and lavender.
If you’ve noticed that you’re not getting enough sleep then maybe relook the colour of your bedroom. The bedroom isn't the place for super bright, energising colours.
So it might be time for a new paint job, go ahead with neutral walls in order to maintain good sleep hygiene.
