I want to place a vibrant burgundy-toned carpet in our bedroom because it matches our décor. But my husband thinks it is a "hot color" that might wake him up. He wants a cooler blue tone that will help him relax and sleep. Can carpet colors affect our sleep habits or mood? |

Depending on the hue and intensity, color affects us emotionally and physiologically to varying degrees. In the situation you describe, I think you have an opportunity to meet both your and your husband's needs. Although burgundy is a member of the red family, it isn't as stimulating as a primary red would be. If you select a rich, jewel-tone burgundy for the floor, consider using some of the cooler colors, such as blue-influenced greens, on the walls, bed linens and upholstered pieces in the room to create a complementary color scheme.
