  •  Experts have revealed the three colours that are perfect for all bedrooms
  •  Blue, yellow and green – in pastel shades are the best for a sound night of sleep
  •  Red is the worst colour as it raises the heart rate and is associated with energy

Experts have revealed the three colours you should use to decorate your bedroom for a good night’s sleep – and it is bad news if you like red.

The team at Bed Threads have revealed people who sleep in blue bedrooms get the most sleep – and wake up the happiest.

And this is because the ‘happiness receptors’ in human eyes are very sensitive to blue.

Experts have revealed blue is the best colour for your bedroom – and suggest it could help you wake up happy

So when we see the colour blue our heart rate slows, we feel calm and can sleep well.

Shades of blue with grey or icy undertones also help to mimic the ocean which can help people feel calm and sleepy.

Yellow, a very mellow yellow, is another great colour to use in the bedroom, according to experts.

The third best colour to decorate the bedroom with is green, particularly lighter shades like sage.

These calmer greens help create a zen environment – it is advised to steer away from brighter shades like lime for this reason.

The helpful team also explained why red is not the perfect colour for the bedroom.

They continued by explaining bright colours and out-there patterns could make it hard for children to get to sleep as it is overstimulating.
