Bedroom painted in a neutral paint colour

If you’re planning a bedroom makeover that will stand the test of time, neutral paint colours are the perfect way to realise your plans. Neutral shades are also a good choice if you’re not sure where to start with your decorating project. Versatile neutral paint colours will provide you with a stylish foundation on which you can build, introducing accent colours over time. 

There’s a reason why so many people use a neutral colour scheme throughout the home. Warm-toned neutrals can make a space feel more inviting, effortlessly creating a cosy atmosphere. This makes them the obvious choice if you’re planning on refreshing your bedroom. 

Neutral paint shades also allow you to get creative with other design touches. These delicate hues work particularly well alongside texture, so feel free to experiment with upholstery and soft furnishings. 

Are you ready to revitalise your bedroom with neutral walls? Read on for all the inspiration you’ll ever need when decorating with neutral hues in the bedroom. 

Why Paint Your Bedroom in a Neutral Paint Colour?

Neutral colours are incredibly easy to live with. This makes them a great idea if you want to avoid the time and expense of having to constantly refresh your interiors. In the bedroom, a timeless neutral shade will bring an instant sense of calm, giving you the sleep sanctuary you deserve. 

As well as their stress-busting properties, neutrals are also incredibly versatile. If you haven’t yet decided on those finishing touches, you can still get to work revitalising your bedroom with a neutral colour palette. Stick to a single hue and use it on every wall, or try using several shades for a more layered, luxurious finish. 

There’s always scope for adding more vibrant pops of colour to a neutral bedroom. If you’ve picked out a lighter neutral, try incorporating muted pastel shades. These will leave your space feeling bright and spacious, especially if your bedroom receives ample natural light. 

Have you used a more contemporary neutral like greige? Cool tones like green and blue are both good accent colour choices, with both bringing essential balance to a bedroom. 

Our 10 Favourite Neutral Bedroom Paint Colours

Are you ready to put pink to work in your bedroom? Below are just a few of the stunning paint colours you’ll find available in our range. 

Looking for a timeless neutral with warm undertones? Our shade Peach Pudding is a good choice. Soft and balmy, this understated neutral will work well in any bedroom. Ideal for larger interiors, it’s also a fine choice for bedrooms that are short on square footage. 

You can use this to decorate an entire room if you want to keep things simple. If you’re keen to up the temperature with a more vibrant hue, take some inspiration from those red undertones. A dusky red or merlot-inspired shade will work perfectly alongside this neutral if you’re thinking about a feature wall. 

Searching for a contemporary neutral that will stand the test of time? Cream And Sugar is a superb choice. This sandy beige is fairly subtle, making it a good option if you’re looking to ground a larger bedroom. You can also use it in smaller rooms that don’t receive a lot of natural light.

Choosing complementary colours to play along with this beige is easy. Use cool tones like grey for a more modern interior, or try working earthier shades into the mix. If you like the idea of two-tone walls, an earthy colour will bring balance to this gentle neutral. Alternatively, you can add warmth with dusky reds and blush pinks.

Do you only want to use a single colour to paint your entire bedroom? It’s best to stick with a colour that combines neutral versatility with a subtle note of warmth. Singing Shade ticks both boxes. This taupe beige shade is on the lighter side, making it a fine choice for smaller rooms. What’s more, that hint of pink makes it a surprisingly warm addition to any bedroom interior. 

If you do decide to get more creative with your colour choices, reach for pinks and jewel paint shades. A single pink feature wall will make a welcome addition to a neutral bedroom, while you can also dial up the colour temperature of your bedroom with soft furnishings. 

This refreshing beige is the way to go if you’re keen to make your bedroom more welcoming. A coat or two of Warm Blanket will have your bedroom looking like new again, bringing a contemporary edge to your decor. You can use it to paint an entire room, no matter how small or large your space.

With a dash of red, it’s also a remarkably warm neutral. You can let those undertones do all the work or introduce a more arresting shade to accentuate it. If you want to keep your bedroom colour scheme more modern, use tried and tested complementary shades like cool grey. 

If you’re seeking a more sophisticated bedroom colour scheme, richer neutrals are your best choice. Happy Trails is an obvious candidate, with this cappuccino beige working well in more grown-up spaces. It’s a touch darker than some of our other neutrals, making it ideal if you’re looking to create a cosy and cocooning atmosphere. 

This mid-tone beige can be used on its own or paired with darker neutrals to great effect. To make your sleep space even more inviting, use neutrals with pink and red undertones. For a more elegant colour scheme, coordinate with earthy tones like caramel and chocolate. 

Mid-tone neutrals are always going to work well in larger bedrooms. However, a teddy bear beige like Taupe Tapestry will prove effective in rooms of any size. It’s a little bit darker than some neutrals, meaning you’ll have no trouble setting the right mood in a more sophisticated bedroom. 

This enticing taupe works well on its own, pairing well with wooden furniture and natural materials. It’s also versatile. Lean into those organic notes when selecting complementary colours or add warmth by introducing other neutrals with warm undertones. 

If you’re searching for a neutral that will bring a hint of sunshine to your bedroom, try something like Madonna Lily. Although this neutral paint colour is fairly subdued, this stunning take on beige also boasts an undeniable hint of yellow. 

As it’s fairly subdued, you won’t have any trouble making this shade work in a smaller space. You can stick to a simple colour scheme and use this as a wall paint or incorporate a more saturated shade for a feature wall. 

If your bedroom doesn’t receive enough natural light, your paint colour choices are particularly important. Winter Caress might be somewhat subdued, but this beige packs a real punch thanks to its yellow tint. 

Use this shade to paint an entire space and you’ll always have a welcoming bedroom to retire to. What’s more, in the morning sunlight, this delicate shade will take on a new level of intensity that will turbocharge your batteries ahead of a long day. 

Keen to stick with a low-key neutral, but don’t want to sacrifice warm undertones? A shade like Fuzzy Unicorn will serve you well when realising your next bedroom decorating project. This veiled white has a hint of red, which will bring some understated intensity to any sleep space. 

If you’re decorating a small bedroom, this charming shade will work beautifully on every wall. However, you’re also free to bring some fierier notes into play. Why not use an intense red to create a feature wall that draws the eye? 

With the right shade of greige, you’ll have a bedroom colour scheme that will stay on-trend for years to come. If you’re in the market for a lighter neutral, try a taupe greige like Intuitive. It works beautifully in bedrooms with more classic design accents, although it will make a welcome addition to a more contemporary bedroom interior. 

Thanks to a hint of pink, this neutral also packs a punch. On its own, it brings low-level warmth to a space. However, you accentuate those warmer tones by bringing in dusky pinks and earthy beiges.
