When you are wallpapering a bedroom, there are many factors to consider. The wallpaper should be harmonious and have a soothing pattern, and the colors should be calm and relaxing. In the bedroom, you want to unwind from the day's stress and recharge for new challenges the following day. 

 

1. Blue bedroom wallpapers create harmony

Blue wallpapers are a safe choice for the bedroom if you want a good night's sleep. Blue creates a sense of security and a relaxed atmosphere. All shades of blue are calming, but if the room is small, it is better to choose a lighter wallpaper as dark colors make the room appear smaller.

2. Sky and sea calm the bedroom

3. Green wallpapers give calm sleep

Green wallpapers on the bedroom walls relieve stress and create well-being. When we walk in the forest, we relax and release stress, so it's good to bring the green colors of nature into the bedroom as well. Additionally, green is said to combat nightmares, and we all wish for a good sleep in the bedroom.
