The main colour scheme for relaxation, according to House Beautiful are rich hues and soft pastels lend a calming feeling for bedrooms, especially grey and blue tones.
“A cloudy shade of blue with gray undertones reminds me of the quietness of a rainy day, when you can just curl up in bed and relax. It would turn any room into a refuge. Combine it with more intense shades of gray and blue if you want more of an impact. A salmon or a deep sage would look stunning against it.” Benjamin Moore

Remember to leave space either side of your bed, for nightstands and ample circulation so you can access three sides of the mattress.
