Repainting a bedroom requires some technical and decorative tips to know to preserve this resting space. We reveal all our advice on colors for the bedroom to make your nights soft, restorative and trendy.
The layout and color of the bedroom is known to influence sleep. So to avoid shortening your nights because of the wrong paint color, we are showing you all of our trendy color tips. But first there are a few concepts to know to choose the right paint.
Choosing the right paint for a bedroom
The bedroom is a room of rest and calm in which we spend time to regenerate ourselves from our days. It is therefore particularly necessary to protect it from elements that disturb sleep and interior pollution. Choosing the right paint for the bedroom is therefore essential.
Prefer a quality paint devoid of VOCs (volatile organic compounds). These toxic substances are present in a number of commercial paints and pollute the interior of our homes. To avoid their harmful effect on your health, choose an ecological and natural paint. Many brands of paints such as Farrow and Ball or Little Greene have made it their specialty. In France, Algo offers a natural seaweed-based paint.

The choice of color will also have a big impact on the quality of your sleep. Avoid bright colors like red or bright orange. Prefer more neutral and soft tones like blue, green or gray.
However, to avoid falling into the too classic, we will see that it is possible to vary the moods according to your style while maintaining an atmosphere in the room that is conducive to sleep.
Bedroom paint: ensure with white
If color scares you, use white. It enlarges the room and will allow you to vary the moods with a warm decoration. The trend mixes wood and white with touches of materials and textures for a very cozy atmosphere.
