These Are The Colors You Should Have In Your Bedroom If You Want To Sleep Better

Like money, friends, or good snacks, sleep is one of those things you can never have enough of. Unfortunately, for many of us, settling into a restful slumber at the end of a busy day isn't always easy. Why is it that as soon as we spritz our lavender linen sprays and rest our heads upon our silk pillowcases, a stupid thing we said six years ago immediately pops into our heads? Oh yeah, and don't we have that big work meeting coming up next week? Wouldn't now be a great time to obsess about whether we've prepared enough?

There are lots of way to trick our minds and bodies into going the f*** to sleep, as they say. Some are more useful than others, and while interior design alone is unlikely to cure a serious case of insomnia, creating a calming environment can certainly be conducive to winding down.

"Colors that make you feel good will translate into a better night's sleep. To some people, this is a color palette that creates a feeling of peace. To others, this is a color palette that invigorates them, such as colors reminiscent of their favorite travel destination," says interior designer Alexis Rodgers.

While the colors that chill you out are a matter of individual preference, in the spirit of serving up some inspiration, we asked two interior designers and one bedding expert for their recommendations.
