Soothe your body and mind with serene shades of blue

Enigmatic, evocative and soothing in appearance, blue conjures up images of inky midnight skies, sparking teal lagoons and speckled duck eggs. Blue is said to bring down blood pressure, slow your heart rate and reduce feelings of anxiety, making it the perfect shade for bedrooms.

It’s hard to go wrong with blue, but it’s best to find the right shade to suit the size of your room. Pale blues like sky blue, aqua and ice blue are expansive, and airy and will help to make your bedroom seem larger and brighter. Darker shades like denim, indigo, or slate blue are sophisticated and warm and will lend large rooms a more intimate appearance.

No matter which shade of blue you choose for your bedroom, it's important to balance it with warm hues for your furnishings and fabrics. This will create a harmonious and inviting space that's perfect for relaxing and unwinding. So if you're looking for a way to create a calm bedroom bliss, consider adding shades of blue to your decor palette. With the right shade and the right combination of colours, you can create a tranquil and soothing sanctuary in which to rest and recharge.
