Tranquillity Blue: Although most people aim for an atmosphere that is peaceful, relaxing, and comfortable for the bedroom, the choice of color is a highly subjective one. Some people like the romantic atmosphere of warm pastel shades, for example, while others prefer the cool tranquillity blue of blues and blue-grey. If you are uncertain, then consider a range of pale harmonies in tones of beige and brown. These are warm yet fairly neutral, and they respond well to small touches of color.
Decorating a room in pastel shades allows you a great deal of flexibility when it comes to choosing accessories to match. Pastel shades by themselves can help to create an atmosphere that is bright and spacious - useful for small and well-lit areas. At the same time, pastel shades can impart a feeling of tranquillity blue and restfulness; this may be ideal in a bedroom or quiet living room where you like to settle down with a good book. Pastel tones from the blue end of the spectrum give a cool effect; those tinged with red, orange, or yellow add warmth.
