What Are Warm Colors and How Do They Benefit Your Wellbeing?

Colors can be divided into warm and cool color tones, which can easily be displayed on a color wheel.

Warm colors are shades like yellow, red, brown, and orange. These warm color tones create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in a room. On the other side of the color wheel, you have cool colors like blue, green, and purple color tones.

Neutral color tones like white and gray can also be warm colors, depending on the undertone of the shade. Some white shades have a yellow or brown undertone; therefore, they can be placed under warm color tones. So even when you want to keep your bedroom light in terms of the use of color, you can create a warm vibe in your bedroom by choosing the right neutral shades.

Warm colors are associated with the feeling of comfort, warmth, and happiness. Warm tones will make your space feel more inviting and create an intimate setting. Using warm colors in a bedroom can help you relax, unwind, and feel at ease. And when you feel relaxed and at ease, you will sleep better, which will benefit your overall well-being.

How to Choose the Right Warm Paint Color for Your Bedroom?

Natural light impacts how a color looks on your walls, so before you choose a paint color, you have to look closely at the light flooding into your bedroom.

North Facing Bedrooms

When you have a north-facing bedroom, your room will receive no natural light through the windows. Therefore you will need to find the right balance between a warm color and the strength of the color. As the room gets no warm sunlight, you need to pick a color tone that adds a lot of warmth, but it shouldn’t be too strong, as a deep paint color will make the room feel dark. For a bedroom that gets limited natural light, you should choose lighter shades of warm colors.  

Also, pay attention to the lighting in the room. Use warm light bulbs instead of cooler ones. The artificial lighting will also impact the tone of the color that you choose.

East Facing Bedrooms

East-facing bedrooms only get natural light in the morning, so just like the north-facing rooms, you should find the right balance between warm colors and not too-deep color shades. It’s likely that you don’t spend much time in the bedroom in the morning, so choosing a color that looks right when you spend time in this room is best.

South and West Facing Bedrooms

The south and west-facing bedrooms receive natural light throughout the day. Therefore you can opt for slightly cooler tones and more saturated colors, as the rooms won’t feel too dark thanks to the abundance of natural light.

Before you permanently paint your bedroom with a new color, use paint samples to see how the color looks in your room.

The Best Warm Paint Colors for a Bedroom

The right warm paint color for your bedroom depends on several factors. Besides the natural light that floods into your room, you should also pay attention to the architecture of the room and your personal interior style.

But warm paint colors are known to create a beautiful warm atmosphere in a bedroom. These paint colors are favorites of leading interior designers and stylists. These are some of the most popular warm paint colors for a bedroom.

Red Paint Colors

Red is the most intense and powerful warm color. This passionate color creates a warm and bold atmosphere in a bedroom. Deep shades like burgundy create a luxurious look in a bedroom, while softer tones like pink tones add a warm romantic touch to the bedroom.

Bedroom, what color should it be. The color of the walls in the bedroom

A person spends about 1/3 of his life in the bedroom. It has long been known that color has an impact on a person – his performance, activity and relaxation, so it is so important to choose the right shade for this intimate room. The color of the walls in it is determined not only by the taste of the owner of the house or apartment, but also by the parameters of the room, the degree of its illumination, the shade of the furniture and some other aspects.

Which parameters of the room should be taken into account?

If the room is located on the sunny, south side of the apartment or house, then you should choose cool shades for the walls. Light muted tones will create an artificial coolness in the room and will not take away natural light, the room will retain a relaxing and favorable atmosphere for sleeping and resting. There are other parameters:

• By painting the walls yellow in a room illuminated by the sun, you will make it stuffy and hot.
• For the south side, choose neutral white or gray, lavender, lemon, light blue, pistachio or aqua.

• For a bedroom on the north side, on the contrary, warm shades like milky and coffee, and the whole beige-brown range, are suitable, especially if the room is dark or small.

Choose from shades of yellow, terracotta, gold and peach to make your room cozy and bright.

Square

The smaller the room, the lighter and paler the shade of its walls should be. The main color and correctly placed accents allow you to visually change the proportions of the bedroom: for a narrow room, choose vertical stripes on one of the walls, for one with low ceilings – vertical lines.

The combination of two or three shades of cold and warm spectrum will visually make the bedroom space wider: a narrow wall is painted in a warm tone, and two wide walls – in a cold one. Cool shades visually push the walls apart and make the interior stylish, warm shades make it cozy.

Number, size and location of windows

The more windows, the brighter the room, which means that you can play with the shades of the walls and make them darker (gray, brown and even black). Designers advise painting 1-2 walls in a dark color if you really want to and natural light allows.

If there is one tiny window in the room, then the walls should be exceptionally light.

Furniture

Contrasting dark furniture looks good in a bright bedroom, and vice versa in a dark one. Today, interiors in a single color scheme are in trend – dark walls combined with the same dark furniture.

The influence of shades on the human condition

Psychologists’ opinion about the color scheme for the bedroom:

• Psychologists continue to argue about the white color of the walls in the bedroom: some consider it too cold and “hospital”, others say that it is ideal for relaxing and setting the right accents in the room. Those who advocate snow-white walls in the bedroom mention that it is necessary to bring pleasant shades into the interior, which will create a holistic image of an apartment or house.
• Light pastel shades like beige, milky, cream, ivory and muted lilac, blue and pink are the most favorable for the bedroom. Psychologists recommend using them in the design of the room and say that calm colors are conducive to relaxation, stress relief and fatigue in general. Being in such an environment, a person switches his attention to rest, his nervous system becomes less excited. Any muted shades have a positive effect on the human body and it is good if the most intimate room in the house is decorated in them. Colors can be in a single muted range or contrast against each other.

Trendy bedroom wall colors. What color to paint the walls in the bedroom if the room is poorly lit

The interior of a room with little sunlight is more difficult to create. A room that is poorly lit by the sun looks smaller and requires the use of soft pastel colors. Shades that are too dark can enhance the visual impact and further reduce the room, depriving it of comfort. In this situation, soft tones, warm or cold color temperatures work best.

The white color of the walls in the bedroom will make the room immense and visually expand its dimensions, the snow-white walls will allow you to experiment with the color of furniture and accessories as you like.

It will be perfect for Provence and country style rooms.

The fashionable now gray color of the walls in the bedroom makes the interior somewhat dull. Bright contrasts will help to dilute it, then the room will sparkle and can become very stylish.

This color is suitable for high-tech interiors.

However, it is worth considering that it can cause despondency and worsen mood. Therefore, it is better to choose light shades of gray or gray patterns.

Brown shades in the interior are associated with nature and contribute to harmony and stability. This color is suitable for introverts, people who are looking for comfort and privacy in their homes. However, if there are too many of these shades, then this is depressing.

Poorly lit small bedroom wall color preferred:

• Warm colors to help you relax and compensate for low sunlight. It can be peach, gold, light orange, heather.
• On the other hand, cool tones will help visually increase the size of the bedroom and enhance its aesthetic appeal.

Suitable colors for the bedroom should be chosen according to the size of the room.

The size of the bedroom is crucial when choosing the right wall color. It should be remembered that dark colors visually reduce our interior. Thus, they will not be a good solution for very small or narrow spaces. Small bedrooms, as we have already emphasized, should have light walls.

In a bedroom larger than 15 m², we can afford more freedom in choosing the color of the walls. Recently, two-tone walls have become increasingly popular, which effectively emphasize the design style of a modern bedroom. These can be:

• trendy shades of coffee with milk,
• caramel,
• pink,
• purple.

The color of the walls must match the shades of the furniture. Dark and saturated colors go well with lighter furniture. In turn, gentle and warm colors are an impressive accent for luxurious natural wood furniture.

Feng Shui bedroom colors.

Feng Shui Bedroom Color

Feng Shui bedroom colors play an important role: it’s not about visual beauty, but about finding favorable qi flows. Based on the five elements of feng shui, they have specific vibrational tones that pick up the chi energy and distribute it back into the environment. With this tool, you can balance the space so that every time you come into the bedroom, you can immerse yourself in an atmosphere of calm and enjoyment.

1. The Feng Shui bedroom, located in the eastern part (Development and Health zone), suggests color options that represent Wood, Earth and Water: shades of green and brown; earthy palette and pastel colors; blue and black.
2. Feng Shui bedroom in the southeast area shares the same need for color options. In the Wealth Zone, you can additionally surround yourself with images and objects that symbolize the energy of money and a sense of financial abundance.
3. The southern zone is associated with the energy of fame and reputation. The Fire element feeds this area and the best colors for a bedroom are red, pink, purple, purple, yellow, and green and brown (of the Wood element).
4. Feng Shui bedroom in the southwestern zone, bonded with the energy of love and romance, suggests the colors of Fire and Earth.
5. The Western Bagua Zone is a space for creativity and children. The ruling element here is Metal, white and silver are its colors. But earth tones are also great as the two elements are compatible.
6. The principles of the western bagua area are shared by the northwest facing bedroom.
7. The bedroom in the northern part (career area) is harder to decorate. The colors of Water are used so as not to create feelings of depression.
8. The best colors for the bedroom in the northeastern part (the zone of Spiritual growth, learning and knowledge) are the colors of Earth and Fire.

Psychology bedroom color. The ideal color for decorating a bedroom: what it should be like according to psychologists relax and, most importantly, sleep.

What do we need for good rest and healthy sleep? Right! An interior that would create the appropriate atmosphere – peace and relaxation.

I will not discover America if I say that the main thing in creating such an atmosphere is the color scheme of the interior.

Psychologists pay great attention to color for a reason, because it is a powerful factor influencing the psycho-emotional state of a person.

Color can both calm and irritate, evoke positive or negative emotions, and by creating a certain life climate in the interior, it can even affect life expectancy.

What a bedroom! I want the same!

And if we talk about the bedroom, then some colors really provide us with spiritual comfort and healthy sleep, while others, exactly the opposite, worsen our well-being, contribute to sleep disturbance, and can even lead to depression.

And since we all want to be well-rested and well-rested in the morning, full of energy and strength, let’s figure out what color the bedroom should be to make it comfortable for both body and soul.

Pastel colors

Bedroom decoration in pastel colors is considered a classic of the genre.

Palette of pastel shades

The thing is that such a color palette has both a relaxing and pacifying effect on our psyche. And since almost every color has pastel shades, you can decorate the interior not only in the right colors, but also choose the ones that you like and get even more pleasant emotions.

But we must also take into account such a nuance as the location of the bedroom relative to the cardinal points, because if you create a super-comfortable design, then go all the way, taking into account all the nuances.

South facing and north facing bedroom are two different color schemes. Of course, they still have a pastel tone, but …

For the “southern” bedroom, which is flooded with sunlight, due to which it is not only light, but also hot, and there is literally not enough air, you need to choose a pastel of cold shades, which will provide a feeling of coolness and freshness, creating an airy interior.

Palette of cold tones, from which you can choose pastel shades

These can be pastel shades of such colors as blue, aqua, mint, green, emerald and others (see palette) as the main ones that should be complemented white, cream, light sand or silver shades.

For the “northern” bedroom, where it is most often gloomy and cold, you need to choose warm pastel shades that will “warm” it, adding comfort and warmth to it.

Palette of warm tones, from which you can choose pastel shades

These are light shades of such colors as yellow, orange, beige, golden, coffee, peach, terracotta, pink and others (see palette), which can be add brighter color accents, but, again, from warm colors – red, brown, orange or yellow.

White color

As for the white color for the bedroom, the opinions of psychologists differ here.

Some are categorically against it, because they consider this color to be too conservative, many people associate it with hospital rooms, which negatively affects the emotional state of a person.

Others allow its use, but they always advise to complement the white interior with bright accents, and although not flashy, but original decor.

Bright accents

But when decorating a bedroom in pastel colors, you should not make it boring, as a solid color scheme, even the right one, can also be annoying. Therefore, it is desirable to make 1-2 accents, not necessarily defiantly bright, but sufficiently contrasting with the overall color scheme. These can be curtains, a rug, a bedspread, lamp shades on bedside tables, paintings, posters and other interior accessories and decor elements.

This approach will add originality, liveliness and completeness to the bedroom interior.

And finally, I want to say that when choosing a color for the bedroom, listen to your inner voice, because, if not yourself, you know the color in which you feel most comfortable.

Thank you for reading this article in full, and I hope that these tips will help you make the bedroom the place where you will fully relax, sleep soundly, and gain strength!

What color should the couple’s bedroom be? Color of the family bedroom: what shades to choose for harmony in your personal life

Did you know that the color of the walls in the family bedroom and the overall palette of the break room have a strong influence on our lives? Do you feel like you slept well? Do you feel a surge of strength and energy? How harmonious is your relationship with your spouse when you cross the threshold of the bedroom? – all these questions can be adjusted, taking into account the influence of the color scheme that surrounds you in this room and your individual situation.

The authors of the site “A cozy house and a beautiful garden with your own hands” shared the advice of psychologists on this topic. They are based on real research and successful changes that have occurred in the lives of married couples. And although any such ideas cannot be called absolutely universal, in our opinion, they should be heeded. Especially if your family life lasts more than 5 years.

First, some real facts that you may have already heard about.

English psychologists noticed that warm family bedrooms motivated spouses to contact each other much more often.

Golden and dark beige hues smoothed out differences and promoted harmonious dialogue:

And the brightest flames of passion were experienced by couples in whose bedrooms deep red and purple tones were present:

Pink and blue hues contributed to good at rest, but much less active striving for rapprochement:

The cold shades of the walls evoked a clear desire to distance themselves.

But the worst was the personal life of the couples relaxing in the bedrooms of dark tones, close to achromatic – gray, black and dark brown.

So, how different colors of the bedroom affect the relationship between spouses.

Red and burgundy.
