If you’re struggling to get deep, refreshing sleep every night, doctors say the harmonious color pairing of a bedroom will do the magic.
A bedroom with harmonious color pairing is ‘conducive to a deep sleep,’ doctors at Sleep Bubble, a site promoting healthier sleeping habits, say.
For instance, the experts say, a space that combines soft off-white paint with light gray-hued bedding will most likely create a sleep-inducing color palette for the owner.
According to sleep expert at Sleep Bubble, Dr. Naheed Ali, “Some of the best colors for sleep tend to have a soft, natural hue. This is because tones that mirror natural elements often induce a sense of calm and tranquility.”
Continuing, he said, “Light gray and off-white, being neutral and muted, create a calm atmosphere conducive to a deep sleep. When the human brain perceives these colors, it is not over-stimulated or distracted, allowing for a quicker transition into a restful state.”
Similarly, he says, these light gray and white tones promote tranquility through their versatile and harmonious qualities that tick boxes in the design industry, as well as the science world.
“Both light gray and off-white are incredibly versatile. Whether you opt for pristine white walls or incorporate various patterns and textures, these colors provide an adaptable backdrop. This versatility ensures that while aesthetics can be diverse, the core foundation promotes relaxation and calmness,” he enthused.
Again, a bedroom color idea with white walls, dove grey headboard, white curtains, cream throw and tarnished black-framed mirror can be the game changer when it comes to obtaining sound sleep.
And, as mentioned, the harmony found in gray and white bedrooms is equally impactful in creating an aesthetic space – that does even more than look good.
“‘Light gray and off-white, given their inherent calming properties and adaptability, have emerged as top choices for those looking to design a bedroom that’s both aesthetically pleasing and functionally beneficial for sleep,” Dr. Ali adds.
To accentuate these benefits, he recommends adding hints of lavender or soft green that can “further enhance the room’s tranquility without interrupting the calming aura.”
Naturally, choosing the best mattress for your needs is vital. So, watch your mattress!
