Blue is good for anywhere in your home, but it can be especially great for your bedroom as it can help you sleep.

Violet has a blue base, so it is also a color that promotes relaxation. A light violet, like a lilac tone can bring balance and inner peace. This color can be used in your living area, TV area, or bedroom. Violet can also add a modern twist to any home.

Pink is another color that you would not immediately think of but a light, soft shade can also promote peace and calm to your space. It also adds personality to any room and could be perfect for your Chic modern home.

Gray is a color that you would think has the opposite effect of relaxation as it can be dull or even seen as depressing. The color of a cloudy, rainy day. However, the right shade of gray can bring calmness and relaxation. It works well in any room of your home, and its neutrality goes with any style home.

Tan may also seem like a shock, but it promotes relaxation because it is warming, like a candle. Tan is a really comforting color, a good neutral that works perfectly in any room of your home and is easy to style whether it be Western, Chic or BoHo.

White is a color that many people may think of, and it does promote relaxation. However, it is the perfect shade of a creamy white that is calm.
