People have long regarded that certain colours can elicit different emotions and moods; some research has even supported the notion that colours have the power to cause psychological effects. Blue is a colour found in nature, like the dark blue of the ocean, the pale blue of daytime sky or the deep blue of a twilight sky. Due to blues’ relation to nature, people often describe blue as a soothing and tranquil colour. The colour blue has also been shown to evoke a bodily effect, by lowering both pulse rate and body temperature. American colour company Pantone announced that Pantone 19-4052 or “Classic Blue” as its colour of the year for 2020. Pantone describes Classic Blue as “a reassuring presence instilling calm, confidence and connection”. The cobalt tone is also said to help with centring thoughts, which is perfect for today’s face paced and technology centred world. Changing up your bedroom to incorporate the colour blue may just improve your overall wellbeing, so it seems only a smart decision to work the colour in somehow. Here are just some ways in which you could integrate blue into your bedroom.
The easiest and most effective way to add some blue into your bedroom is with some new cushions and bedding. Bedding can be an amazing way to spruce up a room without breaking the bank, as well as being an interesting way to introduce some new textures. Sustainability within home interiors is going to be a massive interior trend for 2020 and there are a lot of great companies that create ethically sourced, 100% organic and Fairtrade bedding. We recommend some light blue organic jersey bedding. The light blue colour will keep your bedroom looking fresh and clean as well as making you feel a sense of calm and clarity.
Making sure your bedroom is a place you can optimise your sleep is important. You want your bedroom to be a place of calm, somewhere you can escape to after a long and stressful day. Ensuring you have the correct blinds can really help maximise how much sleep you’re getting. The many variations of Blackout curtains from Terrys Fabrics are a fantastic option if you feel like your sleep is disturbed by morning light, especially those available in the shade midnight blue. This shade of blue will really help you unwind, getting you ready for an easy and uninterrupted sleep.
If you feel like your bedroom needs an injection of fun, try adding bright cerulean blue. An easy way to add an intimidating colour like cerulean blue is with a feature wall. A feature wall is an easy way to add colour without commitment, as a strong colour on a feature wall can act as a focal point in a room, ultimately opening the space up. This fun and vibrant colour will leave you feeling enlightened and excited for the morning.
Adding colour can really change a space and can has a massive impact on how you feel. The bedroom is the room we fall asleep and wake up every morning in, so it’s important that it is a space you feel is inviting. Blue can really bring a lot of positive emotions if used correctly and your bedroom should be one of the most positive spaces in your home.
