Hospitals and asylums have white sheets, so for some people it probably feels like home. 😉 When colours meet science The colours most commonly associated with a relaxing bedroom are: Soft blue – often considered the most calming and can create a sense of coolness. Sage green – relaxing and connected to nature. Warm beige, sand, or oatmeal – soft, neutral, and comforting. Light grey – calming if it’s a warm grey rather than a cold steel grey. Muted earthy tones – such as taupe or soft olive. Bright colours like red, orange, and vivid yellow tend to be more stimulating. Very stark pure white can feel clean and fresh, but some people associate it with hospitals or hotels rather than a cozy bedroom. The fabric usually matters more than the colour. High-quality linen or Supima cotton that feels comfortable against your skin is likely to have a greater effect on sleep than the exact shade. If I had to choose, I’d go with a natural linen, sand, or soft sage green.
