For many of us, the bedroom represents a sanctuary – a place where we can sleep, relax or recharge. And, thanks to colour psychology, it’s never been easier to tailor the bedroom’s paint colour to our needs.

Green and colours associated with nature bring a sense of serenity into our spaces while shades of blue inspire tranquility.
