The interior of the bedroom will look most impressive if decorated in lavender. According to psychologists, it is the shades of this color that promote an even, calm and even spiritual mood. And warm combinations of lavender with other shades will successfully highlight all the advantages of a sleeping place.
But due to the complexity of the selected shades, not every average person will decide to decorate their bedroom this way. And rightly so, in vain. After all, this color has enormous emotional potential.
In such a bedroom it is easy to relax after a hard day. Warm shades relieve eye strain. Nervous excitement gradually decreases and eventually disappears. And the general psychological state reaches the level of peace. This is conducive to a good night's rest.
And vice versa, in the morning the lavender color, thanks to its natural freshness and purity, energizes, positively sets you up for solving problems and fulfilling the responsibilities of the coming day.
Favorite of flowers
It is also worth noting that lavender has become a favorite color and shade among many interior designers in recent years. Including in the design of bedrooms.
Of course, it would be inappropriate to paint the walls of a man's bedroom a rich lavender color. But for a child’s room or a young girl’s bedroom, this color is perfect. And a separate compromise between the masculine and feminine principles can be, for example, the design of a joint bedroom for spouses.
If the male half of the family categorically does not accept walls or ceilings painted lavender, and the female half wants to see this particular color in their bedroom, then a wall design in pastel colors may be a safe solution.
But various accessories, textile coverings (a blanket, a small rug by the bed, curtains, etc.), and even just bed linen can be chosen in lavender color.
The versatility of this color also lies in its beautiful, effective combination with other shades of a certain color spectrum.
- Combination with white. According to the theory of color spectrum, white color belongs to warm tones. And lavender has its origins in the blue spectrum. Therefore, combining it with white will bring a feeling of freshness and coolness to the bedroom. Which, from a psychological point of view, is very useful for healthy sleep. But if, at the same time, you want to add romance to the interior, then it is recommended to place various accessories in the shabby chic style in the bedroom. Or fill it with various textile textures in a vintage style.
- Combination with pastel. This combination is very similar to the combination with white. However, a bedroom decorated in lavender with splashes of beige, cream or light gray will visually expand the space. But in the overall geometry it will look somewhat “blurry”. Therefore, designers advise focusing on bright accessories of the opposite color scheme or on accessories of the same lilac-violet theme, but with more monochrome.
- Combination with bright shades. If the bedroom design was conceived in bright colors, then a combination of lavender with raspberry, purple, rich green, orange or lemon yellow can add dynamism to the interior. Such an interior will really look stylish, bright and with a “pretense of originality”. However, with this design, the dosage of one or another shade should be very strictly observed; after all, the lavender color should play a dominant role. Otherwise, you can easily turn the “original interior” into simply a “tasteless design”.
- Combination with dark shades. The lavender shade, due to its color characteristics, can visually narrow and reduce space. If the bedroom is a fairly spacious room, then there should be no problems with decoration. But if the bedroom is a small room, then you should exercise caution, moderation and a “sense of style” by combining a lavender shade with dark colors such as brown, terracotta, chocolate, black, emerald, purple, rich metallic or dark green. Of course, these colors have the right to exist in the interior of a “lavender bedroom,” but only in moderation, and better in the design of some individual elements.
- Combination with black. As a rule, it is used very rarely. This combination looks quite heavy, and psychologically gloomy and dreary, so it is not very suitable for decorating a bedroom. It is better to consider this option for the design of premises for any other purpose.
- Combination with the “native” color group. Lavender color belongs to the violet spectrum, so shades such as lilac, lilac, pink, etc. are closer to it. Such combinations will give the bedroom interior more warmth, warmth, comfort, a sense of security, tranquility, and at the same time lightness and airiness.
Undoubtedly, all the considered combinations of colors and their shades can be safely applied to other colors. However, it is precisely such color schemes as “main tone + neutral”, “contrasting pair + color addition” or “monochrome group” that are most universally applied, and most importantly with excellent and effective results, specifically to the lavender color.
Bedroom furniture in lavender color
Many people believe that lavender color is suitable for decorating a bedroom only in a minimalist style or, in extreme cases, in a vintage style. However, this very common statement is erroneous. A “lavender bedroom” can be decorated, for example, in French Provence, you just need to choose the right furniture and accessories.
As a rule, preference is given to furniture made of wood, and it should not be some kind of “conveyor” veneer or laminate, but a real solid tree of noble species. Such furniture is ideal for a classic or vintage style, but much, of course, depends on the area of the bedroom and the dimensions of the furniture itself.
Youth style also does not deny the use of this color in the bedroom interior. It can be present on the surface of a table, bedside table or cabinet doors, but it must be glossy. Moreover, furniture in this option should, on the contrary, be light and mobile; a transforming bed or a transforming table are welcome.
In lavender shades you can create a bedroom even in a high-tech style. In this case, as in the previous example, glossy surfaces, metallized furniture and accessories, as well as a large number of mirror surfaces are required.
Bedroom textiles in lavender color
When decorating a bedroom in lavender color, it is worth considering the quantity and availability of textile materials. This could be a blanket on the bed, a blanket on the chair, curtains on the window, a light, flowing canopy at the head of the bed, small pillows or ottomans and much more.
It is important to remember here that if lavender is the dominant color in the design of walls, ceilings or floors, then it is more advisable to choose all kinds of textile coverings from combined color combinations - partners.
If, on the contrary, lavender color is present in the design as an auxiliary color, then textile coverings should be chosen in lavender, or, in extreme cases, purple or lilac shades.
Many psychologists note that lavender color is characterized by:
- sensuality,
- originality,
- complexity
- and even magical energy.
It’s not for nothing that in Old Slavonic times, lavender wreaths were thrown into the fire on Midsummer’s Day to appease the gods. And many of our ancestors constantly wore pouches (sachets) with dried flowers of this plant as amulets. And women used flowers in magical love rituals.
But even if you do not rely on the “magical power” of this color, you can safely guarantee that in a bedroom decorated in lavender shades, its inhabitants will feel at ease, comfortable, and cozy. And most importantly, they will fall asleep peacefully in the evening, their sleep will be sound, healthy and peaceful. And the awakening will be cheerful and positive.
