#Light Blue

Light and sky blue may be a great color for small bathrooms, it’s not the best for a sheet color. This beautiful color is usually considered therapeutic and calming. However, experts suggest leaving this natural color away from your sheets. This color is very light and bright which can create the illusion as if it is still day time messing with your brain’s biological clock. If you do want blue sheets, go for darker shades of blue.

#Brown

Some shades of brown are a great choice for the bedroom sheets. This includes both a beige brown and a neutral brown. However, dark brown isn’t included in this list. Darker colors of brown leave the room felling depressing and dreary and induce negative feelings. This can make it much harder for a person to fall asleep. It also created an uninviting and dull feeling, which nobody wants when it comes to your bedroom.

#White

While white has been a treasured color when it comes to bedroom sheets, it may not really be the best choice. Sleep experts actually say certain hues of white sheets may be having a negative impact on your sleep. While they might look nice, clean, and crisp, they also give off a sterile feeling. Shades of white such as ivory or bright light can be way too stimulating and interfere with your sleep. This is because the brain associate these colors with daylight. So, make sure to go for hues of white such as beige or off-white.

#Red

You may be surprised to hear that this passionate color of love, isn’t recommended for your bedroom sheets. Just like the living room, it’s best to keep this color away from the bedroom. This is because this color is very pigmented and provokes feelings of aggression, and is too overwhelming, making falling asleep much harder. This bright color also tricks the brain into thinking it’s daytime, making your sleep quality worse.
