Colours for the Bedroom: The Psychology of Bedding at Christian Fischbacher

The colors in the dream room bedroom

We all feel it, but this feeling is also scientifically proven: each color has its own vibrations and thus influences our psyche. We see colors thanks to different lengths of light waves. Each color activates certain neurons and thus associations in the brain. Which one is different from person to person, but also from situation to situation.

Most interior design experts assume that bright colors are an absolute must in the bedroom, as they are generally associated with relaxation. But not always, not for everyone and not in every living situation, the bright blue bedroom is the most suitable solution. 

Life is colourful! Seize the moment and make your bedroom the feel-good place it should be. It is the interplay of all colors and their nuances that make any room your personal dream room.

The white bedroom

White is the most popular color in which most people keep their bedrooms. With its simplicity, this actual sum of all colors looks fresh, bright, clean and homogeneous. But for some people this style is too neutral. 

Those who have a very busy and hectic everyday life may find the seemingly white emptiness in the bedroom pleasant. However, it should always be a conscious decision, and not a shyness of designing the bedroom with other colors. 

Color also reveals a lot about the identity of the inhabitants of a room. Those who keep the bedroom only in shades of white seem to want to reveal nothing of themselves. White evokes associations of simplicity and functionality. It's the color of the minimalists. White bedding stands for freshness, hygiene and cleanliness and is therefore almost always preferred by the best hotels. 

With the Satin Broadway bed linen you set interesting accents in pure white. The light shifts through the canvas and satin binding on the longitudinal stripes and makes the noble bedding ideal for classic as well as modern furnishing styles.

Since Weiss has little individual character, the colour is an ideal frame for highlighting special styles, secondary colours or patterns. Use the white Satin Voyage bed set with nostalgic travel motifs to give the bedroom your own style.

White bedding is ideal if your bedroom is dark, has little natural light or your furniture is made of dark wood. 

White stands for: purity, clarity, emptiness and freshness

Blue for peace and harmony in the bedroom

Color psychologists swear by shades of blue when decorating bedrooms. They are not the only ones, because according to polls, blue is the favorite color of 40 percent of people. The colour stands for harmony, openness, trust, friendliness and reliability. In nature, the sky, sea and horizon are blue, which also gives the color an aura of distance and coldness. 

Blue encourages creativity and in a blue environment our heart rate drops, our blood vessels dilate. Scientific studies prove that blue has a calming effect on the brain and a blue bedroom promotes good sleep. Light blue has a weaker effect on our psyche than medium and dark blue.

The Satin Uni bed set is available in ciel, ideal if you want to decorate your bedroom in light and cool tones.

If your bedroom is often filled with bright, warm light because it faces east, you might appreciate the Satin Sarastro bed set. The cheerful and lively pattern remains harmonious even in a quiet room thanks to the mid-blue base tone.

If you want to give your bedroom an original look, you can be bolder with the shades of blue. The color of sky and sea is still relaxing even in more daring combinations.

Blue stands for: Calm, balance, contentment, well-being, harmony, connection and empathy

All-rounder green in the bedroom

As the color of trees and meadows, green is the natural color par excellence. This means that even in its darker or more vibrant shades, the color of nature is something of a neutral color for interesting furnishing concepts. It not only symbolizes naturalness, but also positive emotions such as hope, health, confidence, freshness, spring and youth. 

Green has a calming effect on both the psyche and the autonomic nervous system. Our brain can switch off particularly well in a green environment and reduce stress. Studies show that we can cope better with stress factors in rooms furnished in green. Green also stands for balance: in a green environment, you fall asleep relaxed and wake up refreshed. 

Bed linen in natural shades of green is therefore particularly suitable for the bedroom. The Jersey Ambassador bed set is not only wonderfully soft, but is also available in grey-green, one of the calmest colors you can choose for your bedroom.

However, green bed linen can also have a lot of character. Despite its opulent floral pattern, satin emerald bed linen is always surprisingly pleasing to the eye and creates interesting accents in the bedroom.

In small bedrooms, the deep forest green is an ideal wall color. Although dark colors are otherwise not recommended in the bedroom, forest green is an exception. The natural color makes the contours of the room disappear, making it appear larger and enveloping.

Green stands for: Nature, stability, endurance, hope, youth and health

Beige and brown in the bedroom: try coziness!

Beige and brown are earthy natural tones. They put down roots, so to speak, and therefore have a calming, cozy effect on many people. The brain perceives them as pleasant, associates them with a sense of security and can switch off easily in an environment with natural tones. Regeneration and comfort are further emotions that are awakened in many people by the color brown.

It is no coincidence that many hotels choose these neutral colors for their rooms to ensure the best sleep for all guests, because you can hardly go wrong with earth tones - at least at first glance. After all, brown and beige also have their drawbacks: Furnishings in these shades in the bedroom can be perceived as old-fashioned or even unkempt. That's why it's particularly important to have a good eye for interior design. 

For bed linen in the bedroom with neutral colors, choose high-quality, textured fabrics with modern prints, such as the Satin Illusion bed set. Fine horizontal lines create a slight moiré effect, while the understated yet interesting pattern draws the eye. 

The Jersey Ambassador bed set in the color pebble is absolutely elegant and timeless. It harmonizes wonderfully in numerous combinations with contemporary furnishing ideas.

Brown, beige and greige, together with brown-green and grey, guarantee a harmonious color concept. However, you should avoid very dark shades of brown in the bedroom. They quickly appear oppressive and too heavy.

Brown stands for: Pleasure, gentleness, comfort and coziness

Pink in the bedroom for everyone

Although pink is a shade of red, the color is one of the best options for relaxation rooms. Light shades of pink have a calming effect, and a pink environment guarantees immediate relaxation and therefore promotes sleep. Even hyperactive people feel the balancing effect when they are surrounded by pink. Pink is also associated with romance, sensitivity and tenderness. 

It is no coincidence that bed linen in delicate shades of pink with a floral pattern is a classic that will always be in fashion. The Satin Antoinette bed set is therefore a perfect choice for those who want an eye-catching design but still appreciate the understated touch of timeless bed linen.

Discover the magical world of our floral motifs and be enchanted by the unique Fleur design in soft pastel shades.

You should definitely consider the color pink for your bedroom. It conveys the comfort of brown tones and the relaxation of green, but always remains fresh, fun and interesting. 

Pink stands for: Sensitivity, fascination, devotion, charm, tenderness and romance

Discover our vibrant red from the Satin Uni bed linen collection. The color is not only passionate, but also looks extremely elegant and self-confident.

Or choose the timeless elegance of our Jamila bed linen in soft red, which adds a subtle warmth to any room.

Red has the potential to be the best choice for your bedroom. With a bed set in the color of love, you can bring a breath of fresh air into your bedroom at any time in just a few simple steps.

Red stands for: Vitality, self-confidence, activity, eroticism, strength, love, passion and dynamism

The Satin Daisy bed set brings a cheerful yellow note into the bedroom with delicate daisies - a great way to start every day.

Cheerful, subtle color accents can also be brought into the bedroom with a pillowcase from the Satin Minimal range in the colors Lemon or Sunshine.

If you suffer from restlessness or sleep problems, it is better to choose a different color. Otherwise, golden yellow is radiant and stimulating and greenish yellow is clean, sparkling and fresh. In other words, a real mood booster!

Yellow stands for: Cheerfulness, curiosity, desire for freedom, development and spontaneity

Color misconduct in the bedroom

Some experts advise against using certain colors in the bedroom. However, we don't take such a narrow view. It's always the design that makes the difference. Black or brightly colored bed linen, for example, can make for wonderful dreams if combined appropriately in the right room. 

Color psychology can only provide general guidelines. When it comes to individual feelings, you should always listen to your intuition.

Swiss color psychology

In 1947, the Swiss psychologist Max Lücher even developed a color test in which the personality and character traits of the test person are deduced from their favorite colors.

Whether you choose your favorite bed linen in creamy white or bright pink - it is important to us that you feel completely comfortable in your bed.
