Plants for a nursery
Flowers for a child's bedroom are also categorized as positive and negative. When organizing in a children's room, it is recommended to give preference to the following plants:
Geranium has a rich palette of essential oils. The plant is used as an antiseptic to eliminate germs in the bedroom.
However, experts advise caution in purchasing scented varieties. This is due to the fact that when in contact with geranium leaves, the strongest release of allergens occurs.
Chlorophytum is distinguished by simple care and air purification from hazardous chemical elements and compounds, including
formaldehyde. Additional advantages of this plant for the bedroom include the elimination of electromagnetic radiation, air humidification, neutralization of microbes and pathogenic microorganisms. To enhance oxygen scavenging properties, experts recommend placing activated charcoal in a flower pot.
Kalanchoe is intended for a children's bedroom, because releases oxygen at night and has a sedative odor. In addition, the plant helps to overcome depressive conditions.
Mother-in-law's tongue has a unique property - the round-the-clock release of oxygen. Therefore, it is recommended to put it in the bedroom. The plant normalizes blood pressure, stimulates the immune system, relieves head pain and eliminates breathing disorders. Sansevieria (the second name of the mother-in-law's tongue) eliminates such dangerous compounds for human life as benzene, formaldehyde and trichlorethylene.
Myrtle is not inferior to geranium in its bactericidal properties. And even exceeds its performance in cleansing the air from microbes. For example, Myrtle neutralizes the bacilli of diphtheria and tuberculosis, destroys staphylococci and streptococci in the air. The smell of a flower has a positive effect on the psyche of a child, relieves psycho-emotional stress and fatigue, and also promotes sound sleep.
Lavender for a children's bedroom is more suitable for a girl. Due to the delicate purple flowers that thin the pleasant scent, this flower is considered feminine. In addition, the aroma removes anxiety, slows down the heartbeat during tachycardia, and normalizes sleep.
Jasmine and its white delicate buds have a sweet aroma and sedative properties that ensure a sound and healthy sleep.
How to choose flowers for the bedroom
Having green pets in your bedroom can certainly help relieve stress and relax after a hard day. In this regard, several plants must be placed in the rest room that are suitable for the conditions of detention. Gloxinia, violet, cyclamen, and also begonia will look very harmonious in a small room. You should not strive for a variety of colors and types, since the abundance of variegated flowers and a pile of pots will disturb and annoy. You should take this moment into account when choosing indoor flowers.
In spacious and large bedrooms, large specimens, such as dracaena, eucharis, ficus, perfectly fit into the interior. Palm-like species - livistona, washingtonia, yucca - will add an exotic touch to your interior.
Citrus "exotic"
Citrus plants have similar bactericidal properties, which are now widely available in stores. These include lemon, tangerine, citron, grapefruit, orange tree. The wonderful scent comes from both the flowers and the leaves. The scent exuded by the peel of ripening fruits has a calming effect. The only drawback of these tropical guests is the demand for a cool winter.It is advisable with the onset of cold weather to send them to the balcony, which is heated. The optimum temperature for citrus wintering is from +2 to +6 degrees. Those who nevertheless decide to place these plants in the bedroom in the warm season should remember: the chlorine content in the soil is extremely undesirable for them. In this regard, the water must be carefully prepared before watering. Citrus fruits respond very gratefully to spraying the leaves. With proper care, they will not only purify the air and get rid of foreign odors, but also saturate it with oxygen, destroying harmful bacteria.
What flowers are best for the bedroom for sleep disorders? Of course, these are potted lavender, rosemary and laurel.

However, their lifespan in room conditions is short, since they are very demanding to care for.
Houseplants and Feng Shui

If you have the optimal combination of yin and yang streams, they grow beautifully, bloom, and have healthy stems and leaves.

With proper placement, such plants will bring happiness and well-being to the house, they harmonize marital relations, and strengthen health.

It is better when the plant stretches upward. The leaves should be rounded, without sharp ends.
Let's take a closer look at the different names of flowers with photos that bring happiness and well-being to the house.
How does the color of flowers affect the psycho-emotional background
Coloring plant buds not only calms or lifts the mood, but also attracts luck, wealth, love.
White
The color of purity, logic and reason carries a positive charge. White symbolizes the masculine Yang energy. It is a symbol of eternity, divinity, high moral qualities. Its excess is associated with cold, causes anxiety and dulls the senses.A white flower will bring harmony to a contrasting environment of gray, black, red, pastel colors.
Purple
The mystical color correlates with the spiritual side of human life, religion, creativity. A purple flower will bring a piece of magic, mystery to the room. Deep shades sharpen feelings, awaken imagination. Purple is an energetic color that awakens creativity, but not peace of mind. Therefore, one flower is enough for a bedroom.
Blue
Meditative color of sky, water and tranquility. Indigo awakens intuition, a craving for spiritual values, a desire for knowledge of the world and self-knowledge.
Blue shades symbolize divine purity and add an element of solemnity to the decor. They are suitable for decorating a room with windows facing the sunny side.
Black and dark shades
The color of female energy Yin symbolizes protection, restraint, financial well-being. Black tones are thought-provoking, but in excess they create a painful, oppressive atmosphere. In Eastern philosophy, black is associated with the change of seasons. Plants with dark flowers and dark green leaves will dilute the atmosphere of a bright bedroom and restore peace of mind.
Red and pink tones
Red is an activator of energy, a symbol of love. An excess of bright color causes aggression. It's hard to set yourself up for relaxation in a room completely decorated in shades of red. Softer pink tones symbolize tenderness, youth, sensuality. But the all-out pink decoration of the room looks frivolous.
Geranium with red or pink flowers will serve as a contrasting touch in a bedroom decorated in pastel, white, gray tones.
Orange
The combination of active red and benevolent yellow gives the color of sociability and imagination - orange. If you have to work or study at the computer in the bedroom, a plant with orange flowers in the field of view will help you focus and better remember the material. Orange color carries only positive energy and symbolizes happiness and vitality.
Yellow
The color of warmth and sun awakens vital energy. Yellow symbolizes wisdom, health, life experience, warmth and harmony. Gold, copper and honey shades charge with optimism and vigor. The bright yellow color is associated with deception and danger. Lemon color means rebirth, purity and develops sociability.
In the bedroom, one flower of a sunny shade is enough for a good mood on a cloudy day.
Exotic flowers
Lovers of exoticism want to see something unusual and original in their bedroom. In this case, you need to look at plants such as homemade citrus, indoor banana, pomegranate, or feijoa.
You can also place beautifully flowering homemade exotic flowers near the bed, which are not only pleasing to the eye, but also smell delicious. For example, you can put Sprekelia, Lashenalia, Streptocarpus or Tillandsia blue on the bedside table.
There are a great many exotic plants, therefore it will not be difficult to choose a flower to your taste
Plants that should not be kept in the bedroom
It is categorically impossible to put some indoor flowers in the bedroom, because instead of the expected benefit, they will bring harm. Some plants are capable of releasing substances that negatively affect humans, causing migraines, anxiety and even allergic reactions.
What shouldn't be in the bedroom:
- Bashful mimosa (Mimosa pudica) - releases toxins that, with prolonged exposure to humans, lead to baldness;
- Adenium (Adenium) - also secretes toxins and slowly poisons the body;
- Primrose - when flowering, it can cause dizziness and nausea;
- Trichocerius - you cannot sleep under the scent of its flowers, it provokes hallucinations and can even cause paralysis of the nervous system.
Which plants should not be placed in the children's bedroom and why:
- Euphorbiaceae and aroids - their juice is dangerous, since when it enters the body, it causes severe poisoning. Baby can get burned by contact with these types of plants.
- Kurtovaya - leaves and flowers emit toxic substances, although they are often very beautiful plants.
- Solanaceae - their fruits are very poisonous and, once ingested, can cause nausea and vomiting.
What color to decorate the bedroom
According to ancient science, the quietest zone in the apartment is suitable for the bedroom. At the same time, it should be removed from the bath, toilet and kitchen. The shape of the room should be square or rectangular. Depending on the location, the color of the bedroom in Feng Shui may differ.
If the bedroom is facing north, the wallpaper and furnishings should have a blue tint. When facing south, the room should be dominated by red. In the western orientation, the color of the bedroom according to Feng Shui has all shades of white or silver. For oriental rooms, green colors are suitable.
An ancient Chinese rule teaches that only people should be in the break room. Therefore, feng shui strictly forbids placing flowers in the bedroom. Photos of plants are also highly undesirable in a room where a person sleeps. It is believed that they take energy from the resting person.
It is also believed that indoor flowers in the interior of the bedroom steal air. This is primarily due to the fact that they suck in oxygen at night, while absorbing carbon dioxide.
In reality, things are not so critical. First of all, any plants are producers of oxygen, which is released through photosynthesis during daylight hours. At night, this process is suspended, but the flowers continue to breathe. However, the amount of oxygen absorbed by flowers is so negligible that in order to harm human health, it will be necessary to collect 10,000 kilograms of greenery in one room.
The influence of indoor plants on life and health
Flowers affect a person's sleep and emotional state. Plants in the bedroom can improve or undermine human health. Indoor flowers purify the air from heavy metals, exhaust gases and formaldehyde.
Some species secrete phytoncides - active substances that destroy bacteria and viruses. Other plants saturate the room with essential oils and carbon dioxide. According to the impact on the environment and humans, house flowers are divided into several groups.
Donors
Flowers that release a lot of oxygen into the environment are called donors. They improve the energy of the room, lift the mood and help in recovery from various diseases. 2-3 flower donors in the bedroom help you fall asleep quickly, provide complete rest without fatigue in the morning.
Vampires
Vampires are plants that consume a lot of oxygen. They secrete essential oils that cause fatigue and aggravation of disease.
Climbing plants, ivy are considered companions of loneliness, so they cannot be kept in the matrimonial bedroom.
Amulets
By giving or taking away positive energy, plants affect various aspects of a person's life. Some indoor flowers can have a twofold effect. Cactus protects sleep, but negatively affects the relationship in a couple.
Other types act only as a positive or negative amulet. Geranium and fat woman bring prosperity, prosperity, mutual understanding, and ivy was nicknamed muzhegon, as it drives men out of the house.
Space cleaners
After renovation, the bedroom needs plants that cleanse the space from bacteria and harmful substances. Furnishing and decoration materials contain chemicals that gradually evaporate and affect human health. Exhaust particles penetrate into the room during ventilation. Therefore, there should be air dirt traps in the bedroom - gerberas, geraniums, citrus trees.
Neutral
Plants that do not affect the environment are called neutral. They only decorate the room and evoke positive emotions with the color of the buds and appearance. One kind of flowers can belong to different groups. Some vampires and donors are considered neutral as well. Positive - geranium, laurel, sansevieria - are sometimes referred to as a neutral group.
Intoxicating
Plants with a rich odor are classified as intoxicating. The scent of lilies, jasmine is noticeably felt if you enter the room. After a while, the smell is not felt, but there is a headache, dizziness. Intoxicating odors are emitted by the flowers of exotic plants, dieffenbachia.
Poisonous
Azalea increases arrhythmias, and the sap of the plant causes intestinal upset. The juice of the leaves of croton or codiaum burns the skin. Japanese rodea poison causes hair loss and allergies.
Tropical plants are adapted for survival in the jungle and require special conditions for keeping. Exotic flowers are suitable for growing in greenhouses, as they are dangerous for household members in an apartment.
2> Favorable colors
The segment of the color palette for the bedroom is quite wide: from saturated bright to very light, pastel colors, and the choice depends on the design style, geometric features, the location of the room relative to the cardinal points, but mainly on the psychotype of the personality.
According to the general recommendation of experts, favorable colors for the bedroom are pale, pastel colors: beige, powder, creamy, natural muted palette: sand, blue, green, some shades of brown, yellow and orange. It is better if the main wall decoration is monochrome, using 2 colors, a maximum of three, highlighting the accent wall with beautiful wallpaper, unusual materials or photo wallpaper depicting a landscape or flowers.

Tip: Cool shades will bring coolness to a sunny bedroom, but even these should be balanced with warm accents. For shaded rooms, a warm spectrum is recommended.
Selection Tips
For a bedroom, it is better to choose unpretentious flowers, since this place is often dark, dry and warm enough.
Shade-loving plants will feel as comfortable as possible in the bedroom. When choosing colors, you need to consider the following points:
- the plant should not contain poisons;
- lack of harsh aromas;
- positive energy of the flower.
Choose plants that are neat and developed
This is important to preserve their positive energy for the family lodge. But feng shui recommends placing flowers of red and orange shades in the room to improve the sex life of partners.
Exotics and unfamiliar plants should not be taken into the bedroom. Slow-growing flowers work best as they absorb less energy. Household plants should contain maximum benefits, and for the bedroom, these plants should be additional moisturizers and purifiers.
What flowers are best not to put in the bedroom
Plants that emit carbon dioxide with a strong pungent aroma and poisonous stems are not suitable for a break room. Such flowers cause allergies, headaches, create a depressing and disturbing atmosphere.
Jasmine
The plant with beautiful white flowers has beneficial properties when added to tea. Jasmine bushes make a hedge that fills the garden with fragrance. But the strong scent of flowers in a confined space causes a headache. The plant can cause allergies.
Hydrangea
A flower with a strong haunting scent gives off carbon dioxide at night. Hydrangeas should not be placed in a room for allergy sufferers, as plants fill the air with allergenic particles. The bright crimson, white flowers, when eaten, cause nausea and stomach pain. They even developed an antidote against the poison of the hydrangea.
Orchid
The greenhouse flower reacts sensitively to changes in humidity and air temperature. Constant stay in the same room with orchids is fraught with irritability, fatigue, and insomnia. An exotic plant - an energetic vampire. Orchids excite the nervous system. It is better to put the flower on the writing table in the office.
Fern
An ornamental bush looks harmonious in the garden. In the bedroom, he takes away the oxygen necessary for restful sleep at night. The result is insomnia and headache in the morning. Ferns are vampire flowers. If you constantly feel tired and apathetic in the morning, it is better to move the plant to another place.
Oleander
During the flowering period, bright crimson flowers bloom on the oleander, the scent of which makes your head spin. All parts of the plant contain substances hazardous to health. Oleander juice in large quantities causes cardiac arrest. If you take a little poison inside, vomiting and diarrhea will begin. Oleander is forbidden to keep in public institutions, children's educational institutions.
Dieffenbachia
The favorite of flower growers attracts attention with densely growing large yellow-green leaves. The plant is saturated with poison, a dangerous substance is released even on the surface of the leaves
Dieffenbachia should be looked after with gloves or washed hands thoroughly after contact with the plant.
Monstera
A relative of the poisonous Dieffenbachia is unpretentious in care. Liana can live without soil, attaching to another plant. At the same time, the monstera does not take nutrients from a neighbor, it exists autonomously, using it for support.
An interesting tropical inhabitant has a big drawback - poisonous leaves. Discharge from their surface causes swelling of the mucous membranes of the mouth, pharynx, loss of voice and impaired swallowing reflex.
Lily
The oriental flower strikes with a variety of varieties and shades. It’s a paradox, but the symbol of purity and purity suffocates with a strong aroma and carbon dioxide that gives off at night. Lilies in the bedroom will cause headaches in the morning and insomnia.

Designer tips for decorating the bedroom with plants
Before purchasing a houseplant, it is recommended to think about where their location will be.
Designers focus on small shelves, organically woven into any interior. The designs can be chosen differently, depending on the style of the bedroom and the budget.
As stands for plants, you can choose:
- whatnots with different levels;
- in the form of a ladder;
- hanging planters or floor pots.
Of course, the traditional place for flowers is the windowsill, becausebeing as close to the light source as possible, they are saturated with oxygen. However, do not forget about shade-loving colors - they should be placed in a dark area.
For small bedrooms, suspended structures are suitable, which save space. Of course, for bedrooms over 20 sq.m. flowerpots placed around the perimeter are recommended.
Which ones shouldn't be put and why?
There is a whole list of plants that are not recommended to be installed in the room where you sleep. Depending on the species, such a flower can negatively affect a person. It is necessary to abandon such colors as:
- Orchid. This very beautiful flower is actually very bad for its owner, especially at night. Indoor orchids contribute to the devastation of a person's physical strength, as well as the appearance of excessive anxiety in people. In the course of the conducted research, it was found that people who slept in rooms with orchids had much worse sleep, they did not feel rested after sleep, and at night they were often tormented by disturbing dreams.
- Ivy is also not recommended to keep in the bedroom, like any other climbing plants. There is a popular belief that the presence of such flowers in the bedroom leads to discord between the spouses.
- Indoor lilies at night absorb oxygen, just like humans, and instead emit carbon dioxide. Therefore, it is better to move them to another room.
- Azalea contributes to the appearance of arrhythmia, therefore, it is absolutely impossible to install it in the bedroom of people with a weak heart.
- Monstera is a plant whose own energy is very weak, so it tends to suck it out from other organisms, in particular humans. Today, many scientists classify this indoor flower as an energy vampire.
Indoor flowers such as Japanese Rodea, Dieffenbachia, Oleander and Croton are also not recommended for installation in the bedroom. These flowers belong to the poisonous group, their sap, leaves, stems, and in some cases, their smell negatively affect human health.
Artificial flowers of all varieties are also strictly taboo. They cannot be placed not only in the bedroom, but also in other rooms. They are not alive, they do not bring any benefit to a person, and sometimes they take most of the energy from people.
Ideal layout options
Housing layout, from the point of view of feng shui teachings, affects all aspects of a person's life. It so happens that when purchasing an apartment or renting an apartment, you are faced with such a problem as the wrong layout. But all this can be fixed.
Today many people live in "Khrushchev". The peculiarity of these apartments is that the living room and the bedroom are connected into one room. From the point of view of feng shui, this is bad, as there is a mixture of yin and yang energies. Zoning with screens or furniture partitions will help in this situation.
In a narrow and small room, you should select furniture by size, and also leave as much free space in the bedroom as possible. It is best if the rest room has only a bed with bedside tables and that's it.
There are such layouts of rooms when a corridor begins from the bedroom, and the entrance door to the room is directly opposite the toilet. In such a situation, first of all, you cannot put the bed in front of this door, but if this cannot be avoided, then you can place a screen or partition made of furniture with decorative metal elements.
Harmful plants for placement in the bedroom
Flowers that are often very attractive in appearance can be hazardous to health, and some are even poisonous. Next, consider what flowers and plants cannot be kept in the bedroom.
Plants with poisonous sap:
- If it comes into contact with the skin, the juice can cause allergic reactions, irritation and burns:
- Dieffenbachia;
- Croton;
- Tuberose;
The poisonous sap of plants has a very negative effect on sleep and the human body as a whole. - Hydrangea.
- Poisonous juice causes swelling:
- Dieffenbachia (swelling of the tongue);
- Japanese rodea and dwarf steller (swelling of the vocal cords);
- Eye contact can cause blindness:
- Oleander;
- Dieffenbachia.
Flowers with a strong scent:
- Orchid (stimulates the nervous system, causing insomnia);
- Lily (causes morning headache and sleeplessness at night);
- Oleander (dizziness).
Plants that absorb oxygen at night and emit carbon dioxide:
- Lily (morning headache);
- Ferns (morning headache);
- Monstera.
Any plant is a living organism that requires certain conditions for normal development.
Now you know which flowers you can keep in your bedroom and which flowers are best to stay away from.
Artificial flowers as an alternative
If you are not a lover of greenery, then artificial flowers can be a great alternative. Today the market is replete with various representatives of flora, and in appearance they are not inferior to living flowers. They are good for their unpretentiousness - they do not need to be watered, changed the land, sprayed.
If the bedroom is on the sunny side, then artificial flowers will decorate the windowsills and there will be no risk that they will burn out from excessive exposure to sunlight. They will only burn out a little, after which they can be replaced. As great as fake flowers are, remember that they collect dust, so they need to be constantly cleaned to avoid allergies and irritations.
For information on what flowers should be in each bedroom, see the next video.
Which ones are not suitable for the bedroom?
Still, not all representatives of the green family are suitable for the bedroom. These include plants of the night - those that are active at night and absorb oxygen, have a strong smell, which threatens with allergies, neuroses and nausea, and those that, according to the teachings of feng shui, are not suitable for the bedroom in terms of energy:
- Orchid. It would seem, why not keep such a delicate and beautiful flower in the bedroom? But from the point of view of energy and essential oils, this plant is dangerous for sleep. The orchid is dangerous because it provokes insomnia, headaches, an aggressive and irritated state in the morning and depressive and tired throughout the day.
- Lily. It hurts with its excessive absorption of oxygen and a large release of carbon dioxide, hence the morning headaches and a feeling of depression and fatigue. Fern can also be attributed to the same type of sleeping pests.
- Jasmine. Just like lily, it absorbs a lot of oxygen, but in addition to this, its bright smell can cause allergic reactions, nausea and headaches.
- Dieffenbachia. The plant is rich in moisturizing properties, it cleans the air well from phytoncides, but at the same time it is very poisonous. Juice contact with the skin causes severe irritation and itching. It is even worse if the plant gets on the mucous membrane - swelling of the tongue and blindness will become its consequences. These include tuberose, croton, Japanese rodea, oleander.
- Hydrangea. The plant is beautiful, but fraught with allergic reactions from the aroma and pollen of the plant.
- Monstera. Absorbs energy, thereby literally "strangling" a person in a dream, taking a large amount of oxygen in the bedroom.
- Philodendron. Dangerous by poisoning and damage to the gastrointestinal tract.
- Azalea. A luxurious hat of dense flowers is not suitable for a bedroom, as it can cause cramps and even colic and stomach cramps.
- Mimosa and Gesner's tulip. Dangerous for the scalp, as it negatively affects the hair follicles, which is fraught with hair loss and baldness.
The benefits and harms of indoor plants for human health
Plants for the bedroom have a number of special requirements. They should not only enrich the room with oxygen, please the eyes with their appearance, but also bring a certain energy.
Many houseplants that we are familiar with are nothing more than the fruit of selection of samples brought from all over the world during the times of great geographical discoveries.
The widely known and beloved "money tree" in wildlife has a height of up to four meters. Despite the work done on the size, and the ability to bloom and smell all year round, the plants have not lost their protective ability to release poisons and toxins.
The more interesting and exotic the flower, the more dangerous its influence. Some specimens are capable of carrying deadly harm. These are quite rare plants, but it is advisable to remember a list of them:
- Fatsia is a cute and green bush or tree with bright green leaves that can lead to disorders of the nervous system.
- An ornamental tree called poliscias is irritating when the sap gets on the skin.
- Say goodbye to a plant called alocasia or arma as it has very significant levels of toxins.
- A tuber with a large leaf and arizema inflorescence can cause burns on the skin and harm the eyes.
Most indoor plants with toxins are dangerous if they come into direct contact (if you transplant without gloves) or if eaten (pets and children may well taste the flowers).
Plants that are quite dangerous at certain dosages include: aloe, dieffenbachia, monstera, azalea, nightshade, euphorbia, anthurium, croton, spathiphyllum, asparagus.
If such specimens are in your home, take care to limit the access of children and pets to them.
Some dangerous plants can be of great benefit in parallel:
- to enrich the room with oxygen, monstera and anthurium are used;
- rosemary, chrysanthemums, chlorophytum, aloe have antibacterial and medicinal properties;
- asparagus is used to absorb heavy metal microparticles;
- cyperus and abutilone are used to increase air humidity;
- geranium is used to disinfect, deodorize and even relieve headaches.
Rose, dwarf pomegranate and spicy herbs are useful and safe for home. Do not deny yourself the desire to create a small and useful garden in the atmosphere of the apartment, which will give you not only external pleasure from contemplation, but also the benefits of vitamins and fresh aroma.
Auspicious colors
Before choosing a color palette for a bedroom, Feng Shui masters recommend calculating a personal Ba Tzu card - it is individual for each person. It will show you which colors are most suitable.
In the ancient teaching, each color corresponds to one of five elements: fire, water, metal, wood and earth. Combinations of conflicting elements, such as fire and water, should not be allowed. Best combinations: wood and water (green and blue), wood and fire (red and green), metal and earth (yellow and shades of gray), etc.
But if there is no desire to go deep so much, it is best to rely on an inner voice - intuition. Since the bedroom is a place to relax, Yin passive shades should prevail in the color palette, but bed linen can be chocolate, red, lilac, or pale orange.
Shades can be selected depending on the location of the room. Green and its shades are best suited for southern or oriental bedrooms. This color soothes and evokes a sense of security. Also, this color symbolizes the element tree.
Shades of brown, gold, red symbolize fire. They are suitable for the southern, southwestern sectors. You need to be careful with very bright shades of the above named colors, as they can negatively affect sleep and rest, but a sheet, pillowcases or a blanket can very well be a bright element of the room.
Aquatic colors, as a rule, are blues, blues and their shades, it is better to choose for northern bedrooms. But this palette should not be much, as a feeling of anxiety or anxiety may appear.
Lilac, purple or lavender colors, as well as pastel shades of yellow or orange will help to add tranquility.Small decorative elements in this range will help you to relax and fully relax.
It is better not to use black color when decorating a bedroom. This color intensifies and creates a feeling of mourning. The Chinese try not to use it at all.
Pink, red, crimson or scarlet help in attracting love to single people, these colors are also necessary for newlyweds. It is enough to put red candles by the bed or buy scarlet bed linen.
