Convey a Certain Mood

It’s important to consider the ambiance a color exudes before investing time and money on a wallpaper or paint. Color can set the mood, and in your bedroom the choosing the perfect color is an important factor to consider.

Cool colors like blue, green and lavender generally create a peaceful, calmer ambiance, and are a great choice for the bedroom. Select lighter shades for a more relaxing effect.

Invigorating and inviting, red is a potential color for a bedroom. Vibrant red walls create an intimate feel and might be the right choice when wanting to set a romantic mood in the bedroom.

Do You Want to Change the Look of the Space

It’s important to understand the colors you choose not only affect the mood of a room, but also the way in which the eye perceives the space. Is the bedroom that you are redecorating a bit on the smaller side? Choose a wallpaper or paint in a cooler, lighter hue. Painting the walls in the similar lighter shaded colors is a common technique used to add height to your ceilings. It’s possible to make your bedroom look more open and spacious and give it a calming feel, by choosing the right colors to use when repainting.

Are your ceilings too high? want to create the opposite effect? Choosing deeper colors can help create the effect of bringing the ceiling down from a visual perspective. Darker colors can make the bedroom feel cozier and more easily hide defects in texture on the walls.

Choose a Color You Already Like

If choosing a color to redecorate your bedroom is still confusing you, take a look around the room and find an accent shade that matches the bedding, curtains or flooring.

Making the Best Selection

You can cover a piece of cardboard and view the larger sample in different parts of the room and at different times of day as the natural light changes.
