Blue rooms can lower blood pressure 

If you are looking to keep your heart and blood pressure healthy, a blue bedroom could be a bright place to start. The calming colour is actually known to lower blood pressure and reduce stress, promoting a calm, peaceful mood. Perhaps the secret to staying chilled is a boudoir makeover away.

Blue is versatile

Depending on what shade you go for (and there are a lot of choices), blue is a wonderfully versatile colour that can be easily styled and blended with some of your existing decors. Powdery blue matches perfectly with white and grey, while brighter tones can look great with pinks and greens. When it comes to bedroom design, blue is a colour you can have a lot of fun with. Let’s get started with that design. 

How to choose blue bedding

A good place to start seeing up your new blue oasis is bedtime. Blue bedding can be a simple way to add a splash of blue to your bedroom while you test the colour out. First, think about what shade of blue you prefer. Have a scroll through Instagram and Pinterest to see what shades make you feel most relaxed. Choosing a soft, smooth fabric that will keep you comfortable is important. Going for a neutral navy blue bedding set gives you room to play around with complimentary shades and will go with plenty of accessories. Bamboo adds a silky, stylish finish to your bed and is a dream to snuggle up in. The natural, breathable fabric is thermoregulation, making it perfect for every season. So you can keep your blue bedroom and sleep nice and fresh from winter through to summer.

How to accessorise in blue

Next up, you should think about blue bedroom ideas for accessorising. Again, before taking the plunge with painting your room (as blue walls can be a big commitment), there are plenty of ways to dip your toes into the colour without making any drastic changes. Blankets and throws in different shades of blue can add texture and a focus point, whether you drape them over your bed or a chair. Cushions are another easy way to add a touch of colour and keep you comfy (especially if you are working from home). Or perhaps you go for some colourful artwork for your ‘something blue’. There are some budget and planet-friendly creative shops where you can pick up pre-loved pieces that could be the perfect fit for your blue room. Have some fun shopping around and see what you can find.
