Recently, Dr. Christiaan Geldenhuys, an American specialist made a series of experiments to find the links between our sleep and the color of our bedroom walls.  The expert is convinced that choosing the right color paint for your bedroom is the most important decision to make when decorating the house. At that, if you made the wrong choice, it can seriously affect the quality of your and especially your children’s sleep. The findings of the research were published in Celdenhuys‘ new book, Sleep Smart.

Geldenhuys argues that we can perceive colors even when we are asleep. He has found out that cold blue color should be considered the best for a good night sleep. The experiments showed that the people can relax and fall asleep much faster in a blue color bedroom.  Geldenhuys underlines that the tints of blue color can create a sensation of space and symbolize peace, tranquility, slow motion and inspiration. In addition, blue colors are cold, so they may have some cooling effects and can even help to lower our body temperature. That is why it is recommended to consider painting your bedroom walls in blue.

Also, it is possible to opt for a combination of red and blue colors for a bedroom of two adult people. The expert says that soft red colors are associated with romantic environment, and light blue colors favor good sleep. Therefore, such combination can be ideal for a couple sharing the same bed. However, if you have difficulties with waking up in the morning, Geldenhuys recommends you to choose yellow color paint for your bedroom. Yellow color symbolizes morning sunlight and boosts our feeling of happiness.

Choosing the paint color for children’s bedroom requires quite a complex approach. For infants and young children it is best of all to opt for the tranquil and masculine blue for the boys and earthly pink for the girls. A teenager’s bedroom should have deeper and more chromatic coloration. At the same time, if you child has learning problems, Geldenhuys advices to use deep green and blue colors for the bedroom since these colors can help to calm down the child’s mind and better focus on the studies.
