hi it's lindsy Diane from Dian
0:04
decore.com in this video we're going to
0:06
talk all about soothing bedroom paint
0:09
colors it's never been more important to
0:12
create a soothing calming and relaxing
0:15
retreat in your home and your bedroom is
0:19
the place where you switch gears and you
0:21
move from being active to getting to
0:23
yourself into a state of rest and reset
0:27
and your paint colors really affect that
0:29
quite a bit so in this video we're going
0:32
to talk all about eight soothing bedroom
0:35
paint colors and why you should pick
0:37
these colors I'm going to tell you a few
0:40
different places to get them and the
0:42
names of them across a few different
0:44
popular brands so no matter what's in
0:47
your area or what's in your home you can
0:49
find a corresponding color that will
0:51
give you the same feeling let's get
0:54
started there's a lot of psychology
0:57
behind colors and how they make us feel
0:59
but in a nutshell for the bedroom you
1:02
should stick in the color family of
1:04
Blues greens Grays Browns and whites
1:10
Blues bring about a feeling of
1:12
relaxation while greens are restful and
1:15
soothing white will give you a sense of
1:18
refresh and renewal while gray will give
1:21
you a nice neutral stable Baseline for
1:27
emotions the brown color family evokes
1:32
comfort this is why we see most bedrooms
1:37
with these types of colors so let's
1:40
start with the eight soothing bedroom
1:42
paint colors that will help you create a
1:46
beautiful relaxing retreat in your
1:49
bedroom number one is Krypton from
1:52
Sherwin Williams similar colors are
1:55
Skyline steel from bear gray Timberwolf
1:59
from benjam Moore and Elliot Bay from
2:02
valpar now this color is a gorgeous blue
2:07
gray shade it's light and it's Airy but
2:10
it can be paired with darker furniture
2:12
for a deeper contrasting look or if you
2:15
really want to lean into that light
2:18
bright refresh renewal look then go for
2:22
lighter colored Furniture some white
2:24
curtains maybe a white area rug and you
2:28
will create a beautiful
2:30
space other colors that pair well with
2:33
this are tan beige and brown number two
2:36
is cotton sheets from bear you can find
2:39
a similar color in opal from Benjamin
2:42
Moore Alam mode from Sherwin Williams
2:47
valpar now cotton sheets is a beautiful
2:53
neutral base for pretty much any room of
2:57
your home but particularly for the
3:00
it pairs well with darker brown
3:03
tones and deep blues or greens this is
3:09
one of those neutral bases that is very
3:12
versatile you can go much deeper you can
3:15
go much lighter you could even pair it
3:17
with blacks if you wanted to to create a
3:19
really moody room but overall this is
3:22
going to give you a nice calm stable
3:25
feeling in your bedroom next up is
3:28
cyberspace from Sher Williams if you
3:31
like something a little bit more
3:32
dramatic and dark in your bedroom
3:35
cyberspace is a great choice you can
3:39
find a similar color in ink black from
3:41
bear baby seal black from Benjamin Moore
3:47
valpar now cyberspace is that deep gray
3:52
that almost seems devoid of emotion and
3:55
this is a fantastic choice for a
3:58
soothing B bedroom paint color it's not
4:01
going to Hype you up it's not going to
4:03
make you feel one way or the other it's
4:07
just kind of a blank slate and it's
4:11
great for pairing lighter Furniture so
4:15
if you are looking to paint your walls
4:18
to coordinate with some existing
4:21
furniture that happens to be light so
4:23
maybe you have some a cream bed set or a
4:25
white bed set and you have white picture
4:28
frames then go for this darker charcoal
4:32
gray as a nice contrast and the
4:35
combination will be absolutely beautiful
4:37
just remember that when you go with
4:39
darker colors for your walls you want to
4:41
make sure that your room is well lit so
4:45
if you have that sunlight coming in
4:48
that's great if not consider adding some
4:50
supplemental lighting so that during the
4:52
daytime it doesn't feel so dark and so
4:56
heavy when you want to move around and
4:58
do other things in your room get dressed
5:00
things like that so if you have a darker
5:03
paint color on your walls contrast it
5:06
with lighter furniture and make sure you
5:08
have supplemental lighting as well next
5:10
up is Oak Moss by Sherwin Williams
5:14
similar colors include Amazon jungle
5:17
from bear Jade Romanesque by Benjamin
5:20
Moore and tagon by valpar now this is
5:25
another deeper color but it's a nice
5:28
Mossy green color that is really
5:31
soothing if you are someone who likes to
5:33
bring the outdoors inside especially via
5:37
plant material you might really love
5:40
this color Oak Moss is a nature inspired
5:44
shade and it's going to pair well with
5:46
all different types of wood tones so if
5:50
you've got a oak bed frame or a walnut
5:54
bed frame even if you have a deeper
5:57
Cherry you could coordinate well with
5:59
with this green tone it's also a good
6:02
footing if you like a boho style or an
6:05
Eclectic style you could add something
6:08
with some you know ratton tassled pieces
6:13
I'm thinking about the big woven baskets
6:15
or maybe a bench that has a Raton frame
6:18
on it all of these sort of nature
6:21
inspired things go really well together
6:23
and Oak Moss is a great backdrop for
6:26
those Styles next up sticking with the
6:29
Green family is Guilford Green from
6:32
Benjamin Moore similar colors are
6:35
chilled cucumber from bear a canthus
6:38
from Sherwin Williams and apple blossom
6:40
Green from valpar now this is a much
6:44
lighter tone of green it is a part of
6:47
the Benjamin more historic color
6:50
collection and that is one of their 191
6:53
Shades that were inspired by some of
6:56
America's historic landmarks
7:00
this shade of green is a little bit hard
7:02
to describe it's light but it's not
7:05
bright it's green leaning towards beige
7:08
and I get a feeling that this shade is
7:12
much like the way I feel about gray it
7:15
doesn't really spark any emotion one way
7:18
or another it's a nice neutral soothing
7:21
palette I think it's lovely color this
7:25
shade pairs well with dark brown
7:28
furniture if you have wood furn
7:29
furniture or it will look good with
7:32
light bright upholstered furniture in
7:35
the white or Ivory family next is Acacia
7:39
Hayes by Sherwin Williams similar colors
7:42
are Hunter's Hollow by bear heather gray
7:47
by Benjamin Moore and seafoam storm by
7:52
valpar now this color is really special
7:56
it sits in this perfect midtone between
8:01
green and gray and blue it's it's just a
8:07
lovely soothing color it has a cooler
8:10
tone to it which I prefer to some of the
8:14
other green tones on this list while I
8:17
do like that Guilford green a lot and I
8:21
Moss you are very firmly in the Green
8:24
family if you choose one of those this
8:26
one is a little bit more ambiguous it
8:29
could look blue it could look gray it
8:33
could look green and that's what I like
8:35
about it because you're going to be able
8:36
to pair it with a lot of different
8:38
colors you could go with dark charcoal
8:41
Grays you could go with whites to
8:43
brighten it up you could even go with
8:46
Browns this is a nice middleof the road
8:51
color so if you want some kind of color
8:53
you know you don't want beige you know
8:55
you don't want white and you just want
8:57
to touch your foot in color I think that
9:00
this is a great one because it's a
9:02
little bit of everything next on the
9:04
list is Shadow Blue by bear similar
9:07
colors are docside blue by Sherwin
9:10
Williams French T by Benjamin Moore and
9:13
Driftwood Blues by valpar now I wanted
9:16
to put this color on here to help
9:19
illustrate how you can have an emotional
9:21
shift between two colors especially two
9:25
similar colors so if we look back at
9:28
Krypton which was the first color that I
9:32
list this blue is very similar to Shadow
9:37
blue except that with Krypton it has
9:42
this lighter beachier Vibe so when I
9:46
look at this color I immediately think
9:49
of a beach house or the Hampton I'm
9:53
Oceanside decor and that gives me more
9:57
of a relaxing vacation feeling
10:00
whereas Shadow blue I don't get that
10:02
feeling at all even though I can see
10:04
that these are very similar colors
10:07
because of the deeper gray that's coming
10:10
off from Shadow blue I feel like a much
10:13
more neutral Basel line can be felt
10:16
using this color than the other one so
10:20
if you are in the blue family you like
10:23
that nice calming relaxing look but you
10:27
also like the stableness of gray look at
10:31
Shadow blue now the other reason why I
10:34
wanted to share Shadow blue is because
10:36
it actually pairs well with a lot of
10:38
different colors more so than any of the
10:41
other colors on this list so of course
10:43
you can go with the neutrals you can
10:45
pair it with white you can pair it with
10:47
gray you can pair it with brown
10:49
furniture and tans and creams but you
10:53
can also pair it with some other colors
10:56
like a greenish SE foam green or um
11:01
what's on this list like the um the
11:05
Guilford green would actually go pretty
11:07
well with this you could pair it with
11:10
terracotta orange brown color you could
11:14
pair it of course with other blues and
11:16
do a tone on tone effect you could pair
11:18
it with like a Dusty pink and make that
11:21
look good there are a lot of different
11:24
color combo options with a shade that is
11:28
this blue blue with the gray undertone
11:31
so consider something like this for your
11:33
bedroom it would work well for not only
11:36
an adult's bedroom but again if you want
11:38
to pair it with something more colorful
11:39
it would work well in a kids bedroom as
11:42
well last but not least is Fawn brindle
11:45
by Sherwin Williams similar colors
11:48
include True taupewood by Bear River
11:51
Reflections by Benjamin Moore and
11:53
graceful gray by valpar now this is
11:57
another really interesting color because
11:59
it kind of sits in the middle of green
12:02
and brown it's nature inspired and pairs
12:07
well with some other robust colors so
12:10
again if you are more of a colorful
12:12
person and you don't want that plain
12:15
gray or the plain beige or the plain
12:17
Ivory in your room consider going with
12:21
this one that you can pair then with a
12:23
mustard color or a reddish terracotta
12:27
color you could pair it with a purple as
12:30
well it gives you a lot of other options
12:33
aside from just pairing it with white or
12:36
pairing it with brown it's because it
12:39
sits sort of in the middle of two
12:42
different colors that give it that
12:43
versatility so if you're looking for
12:46
that versatility consider a color like
12:49
this that's it for this list I hope you
12:52
found it helpful those are eight
12:54
