The bedroom is an essential space in any house, serving as a personal sanctuary for individuals and couples alike.

For a comfortable and inviting bedroom go for calming, blue tones & natural colours. Landscapes, nature, sea or waterfall (water elements paintings), colours that are towards cool colours, blues, greens, and whites to make your mind peaceful. In nature, water flows to low places, gathers its power, and nurtures life. Cosier environments promote better sleep and overall well-being.
