    Color: Warm earth tones such as coppers, creams and tans are best for creating a cozy atmosphere. Soft, nature-inspired colors like pale blue, green, or lavender establish a calming atmosphere.

    Lighting: Think of the lighting in your bedroom in layers. In addition to the electrical lighting from overhead lights, wall and table lamps, it’s important to manage natural light. Window treatments with a few options, such as shades, sheers and heavier curtains, which provide varying levels of privacy and light, are ideal for the bedroom.
