Adopt a pastel color palette

The color palette of the room must be well thought out so as not to cause visual discomfort, stimulate disturbing sensations or even worse: leave the environment too light or too dark. Therefore, a good choice is to adopt pastel tones (straw pink, coral gray, ivory beige, wheat orange, off white, etc.), which are aesthetically appealing and welcoming.
