\"whatLearn how to use the psychology of color to create a relaxing, restful bedroom<\/h2>\n

Once you find something you like, limit your color selection to 3 or 4 hues and begin choosing the role those colors will play \u2013 active, passive or neutral influence.<\/p>\n

Your wall color may be the active influence \u2013 and it might be a good starting point if you\u2019re not sure where to begin.
