However, this room has a vibrant, crisp feel to it. The second bedroom on the other hand, appears more restful because of its soft shades of sea foam. There are of course, many shades of blue but if you wish to keep that restful look make sure you tone down your blue to lighter shades of blue/grey, muted blues or serene pale turquoises.
