Test a colour out

Grey

There's nothing boring about a grey colour palette. In fact, the right shades can work incredibly well in a bedroom. Light and airy, greys are just the ticket for creating a stylish and contemporary space.

Opt for a light enough grey and you can enjoy all the same benefits of an all-white bedroom. If your space is lacking sufficient natural white, a soft grey wall colour can help bounce light around and open things up. What's more, grey is an incredibly easy colour to coordinate with.

Blue

Blue is a favourite colour pick for bedrooms. However, you'll want to avoid deep blue walls if you're looking to decorate a smaller space. For best results, stick to a lighter blue palette to create an airy, serene space.

Light blue walls also provide you with an easy starting point for more daring design projects. You can experiment with richer hues to create visual interest, while dark woods and monochromatic furniture will also work well.

Green

If you're eager to create a serene and relaxing space, a green colour palette is an easy choice. Vibrant greens can be overwhelming in a bedroom, so it's best to stick with more stripped-back shades that will help you drift off to pleasant dreams.

We've got some spectacular paint shades for you to choose from, with eye-catching green neutrals and complementary colours aplenty.

Brown

Earthier tones can have a place in lighter bedrooms, although you'll want to avoid mustard shades and chocolate browns. However, duskier palettes infused with pink and purple are a fine choice for bedrooms.

Once you've settled on a muted brown for your bedroom, lighten things with white bedding. Alternatively, add some warmth with LED lighting and rich-coloured fabrics.

Orange

Many people steer clear of orange when decorating bedrooms. However, a lighter orange can be an effective choice when creating a dream sleep sanctuary.

Brighter orange shades can add warmth and depth to smaller spaces. Choose a wall paint with distinctive undertones and you can easily introduce more daring colour pops and accents to your bedroom. For a cosy ambience, fit your light fixtures with soft white light bulbs.

Struggling to find a suitable orange for your bedroom? Not to worry. We've got several standout paint colours for you to consider.
