11 Things Never to Have in Your Bedroom, According to Interior Designers

Whether you’re settling on paint colors or the best palette for bedding, designer Debbie Mathews suggests staying away from bold hues. “In general, I like to avoid using brighter colors like red, which can stimulate energy and sometimes make relaxation and sleep more difficult to achieve. Instead, I use softer colors in shades of green and blue, which can promote calmness.”

Interior designer Lorna Gross agrees: “It is advisable to avoid bright versions of red, orange and yellow paint in the bedroom. These colors in their most vivid forms are often associated with anxiety and arguments. So, if your goal is to have a serene relaxing bedroom environment, stick with neutrals, cool or softer colors.”
