Blue as a color fits in with a wide range of styles seamlessly and even in the tiniest of bedrooms, its presence is always welcome.

Warm and Charming Yellow

Unlike blue, yellow is a color that is far less commonly used in bedrooms and yet one deserves much more attention. It is just perfect for bedrooms with styles like Mediterranean, traditional, rustic and farmhouse. Yellow in its more mellow shades can be used more extensively in the large modern bedroom while brighter and more brilliant splashes of yellow work well as accents. Easily sitting well with other bold colors, yellow is a great choice in the adaptable bedroom.

Green at its Gorgeous Best

Green in the bedroom is far-less frequently used than blue and yellow and yet makes an instant impact as soon as it is added to the mix. Best bedrooms in green are those that use its lighter shades for the backdrop and in spaces with traditional and rustic themes. It is a color that encourages sleep in the bedroom and shapes a more calming backdrop. According to Feng shui, it is also a color that ups fertility in the space and also ushers in freshness at the same time.
