Flat finishes are also much better than glossy for bedrooms. Flat finishes make paint look much softer, which of course, comforts people.<\/p>\n<p>In a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/press-centre\/press-releases\/SECRET-GOOD-NIGHT%E2%80%99S-SLUMBER-SLEEP-BLUE-BEDROOM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study<\/a> conducted in the UK, researchers analyzed 2000 bedrooms and found the following colors as the ones that are NOT conducive to sleep.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Purple \u2013 People slept the least in this color bedroom \u2013 5 hrs 56 mins.<\/li>\n<li>Red \u2013 Average sleep time was 6 hrs 58 mins.<\/li>\n<li>Brown \u2013 Sleep time was longer than the purple bedroom but much less than the red one \u2013 6 hrs 5 mins.<\/li>\n<li>Gray \u2013 This shade seems like it would be a good one for sleep, but the study found otherwise \u2013 6 hrs 12 mins.<\/li>\n<li>Gold \u2013 The color of wealth didn\u2019t quite translate to longer sleep \u2013 6 hrs 43 mins.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So, if your bedroom is any one of these colors, it\u2019s time to repaint.<\/p>\n<p>What color should you paint your bedroom?<\/p>\n<p><strong>BLUE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Researchers found this color can prevent nightmares and helped people sleep the number of hours they should get each night \u2013 7 hrs 52 mins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YELLOW<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yellow can elicit feelings of relaxation, but it must be a soft shade of yellow.
