Our choices of colour are a personal reflection of ourselves, and an outward expression of our own style. Colour in our living spaces has also been shown to significantly influence our psychological and emotional states. When chosen well, it can lead to improvements in our feelings, comfort, and even reduce sleep disturbance. Colour reaches beyond your walls and fabrics, when redecorating you can create a signature look by applying colour to the bedroom furniture itself.

The right balance of colours can even make a small room appear spacious, bring a large space together and bring a personal touch through a room. The colours in your bedroom are significant as it is a place where you relax and unwind; it is the island of calmness. 

The ability to tailor the finishings and fabrics of your furniture means you can tie your bed to your dresser, bedside tables and accessories.

Why Should You Never Ignore Your Bedroom’s Colour Scheme?

Your bedroom is a place to rest, and it should be able to evoke a sense of calmness and relaxation. Bright and loud colours are generally not recommended in bedroom spaces as they can stimulate and activate thinking. In a space where you need deep and restful sleep, it is recommended to avoid flashy furniture colours, shades of yellow, orange, and red in your bedroom can become disruptive colours. 

Here’s a look at the guidelines for choosing the perfect furniture colour

The main factors which you need to consider for your furniture colours are:

●The size of the room

●Finishing of walls and decoration

●Design/style of the furniture

The colour of the bedroom furniture should be chosen in a way that absolutely transforms the look of a room, creates a sense of space, and brings a little bit of you into the mix. 

Choosing A Dark Colour Palette

Darker furniture sets have become popular for the bedrooms. Dark colours can inspire and offer both a contemporary and conventional vibe. They not only bring a sense of cohesion to large bedroom spaces, it also gives them a formal look. Dark coloured furniture can become the focal point of the room. If you are choosing dark coloured bedroom furniture, you can add warm hues and tones for a luxurious and sober style.

Choosing Light-Toned Bedroom Furniture

Lighter-toned furniture is used a lot in bedrooms as they offer a simple and casual look. White is one of the most preferred colours by interior designers for a minimalistic look. There are different light-coloured themed styles, such as classic, contemporary, and country, which can make your room appear spacious and airy. 

Light tones such as white and beige feel natural and don’t instantly draw attention. It also appears brighter. You can also utilise neutral tones to bridge a mixture of both dark and light colours. This is good for creating optimum impact. Whether you choose a light or dark coloured furniture style, you should pick a theme that you find soothing and calming to your eyes and mind.

Whether you are looking for beds or other furniture and accessories, you can pick from a wide array of colour options that go really well with your bedroom.
