In a recent study, hotel company Travelodge surveyed 2000 people in the UK and found a correlation between bedroom wall colors and the amount of sleep and couple time. According to the survey results, respondents with blue rooms got the best night’s rest, averaging seven hours and fifty-two minutes of slumber per night. 58 percent of those surveyed who sleep in blue rooms say they regularly wake up feeling happy.
Cozy Colors
But before you paint your bedroom blue, you may want to consider yellow or green. The study shows these colors also help to create a cozy, restful bedroom. In contrast, purple, thought to be a mentally stimulating color, could lead to restless nights. Those who sleep in a purple room reported only getting five hours and fifty-six minutes sleep per night.This colorful guide on Houzz summarizes the findings:
Can you really improve your sleep by painting your bedroom
blue – or is there more to it? In his article "How Emotions, Ideas and Senses Influence Our Color Perception” author Peter Crimmins explores how the human brain interprets color. He cites the work of researcher Kevin Connolly at the
University of Pennsylvania, who uses multicolored M&M candies to show how
we perceive color through our senses. According to Crimmins, “You never
perceive pure color. Your brain is constantly filtering it through your sense
of taste, touch, smell, and – most importantly – your memories.”
More Than One Color
In essence, this means your furniture style, bed linens and
lighting are just as important to your perception of a relaxing bedroom as the
wall color. When selecting bedroom decor, choose
the textures and hues that calm your senses. If a dresser top covered with a
TV, folded laundry and paperwork adds stress, hide the TV in a matching TV Lift Cabinet and move the laundry and papers out of sight.
The right furniture can make a bedroom more relaxing.
Obviously a comfortable mattress can encourage restful sleeping (and cuddling) - but a wardrobe with enough space for all
your clothes can help too. Choose furniture that fits your room in finishes
that complement your style.
