We spend half of our time in our bedroom, so making it a sanctuary is important. The power of colour can influence mental and physical well-being, alongside the quality of sleep. Those with overactive imaginations can benefit from unfussy neutrals and crisp whites, whereas opting for soothing blues and greens promote tranquillity and rest.

Frenchic Paint has provided a guide on how to wake up on the right side of the bed with the perfect shades.

Yellow

Those looking to be uplifted should choose a vibrant colour such as yellow. Making the transition from night-time to daytime more manageable, yellow awakens the senses with its positive essence and transports to the easiness of warm summer days.

Blue

Blue is one of the best colours to promote relaxation. Its connotation with the sky and sea triggers the senses and can lull us to sleep. Muted shades Smooth Operator (£9.95 for 250ml) can minimise unnecessary stimulation before bed.

Green

Bring the outside inside with green. Hailed as the new grey, green’s versatility can be extra-chic when used alongside off-white and creams, while muted tones such as Green with Envy (£9.95 for 250ml) create a rustic feel.

White

A dazzling coat of white can be great for a fresh start. White can make spaces look larger by capitalising on natural light. For windowless bedrooms, opt for a neutral ivory tone such as Parchment (£9.95 for 250ml) or for a touch of silvery grey go with Moon Whispers (£9.95 for 250ml).

Teal

Teal is a great middle-ground colour for people who need to revitalise on weekdays and unwind on weekends. Combining the growth-promoting qualities of green and the restfulness of blue, it gives the best of both worlds. Pair with colours such as coral or mustard to ooze some retro charm into the bedroom.

If transforming an entire wall sounds overwhelming, upcycling furniture with Frenchic’s Original Artisan Range or adding throws, rugs, and pillows can add vibrancy.
