Open and relaxing bedroom painted in an off-white paint colour

If you’re someone who finds it difficult to settle on colour schemes when decorating, off-white paint colours are on hand to make your life easier. A timeless choice of wall colour and a favourite with interior designers, white paint won’t let you down if you’re looking for a versatile wall colour. 

Just a hint of pure brilliant white can freshen up a tired space, while more muted tones like white dove can create a more luxurious finish when you’re out to make an impression. If you’re planning on making over a bedroom, a cooler white with blue undertones is perfect for achieving a sense of serenity. 

Furthermore, interior walls decked out in off-white hues will work with just about any decorating style. As far as versatility is concerned, everything from bright white paint to grey-infused neutrals will deliver. 

You don’t even need to worry about room aspects. In a north-facing room, warm-toned whites will enrich your space. In south-facing rooms, uplifting whites with yellow undertones will bring some much-needed energy to your interiors. 

Our Favourite White Shades for a Bedroom

If your bedroom needs a refresh, white paints are an easy choice. Whether you’re looking for brilliant white paint colours for bedrooms or something with cooler undertones, you’ll find plenty of premium choices in our range. 

You don’t have to stick with overwhelmingly brilliant whites to bring your bedroom back to basics. A classic true snow white like Swansong can be just as effective, with subtle hints of grey and blue bringing cool undertones to your sleep space. 

Perfect if you’re eager to embrace soothing blues but don’t want to flood your room with too many icy notes, this off-white will work nicely in any sleep sanctuary. You can use it as an all-wall bedroom colour, or liven things up with a hint of intense indigo or dramatic darker blue shade.

If you’re keen on the idea of bringing notes of blue to your bedroom but want to keep things contemporary, go with a shade like Candle Smoke. This true white is light enough that it will open things up in smaller spaces, but an elegant balance of grey and blue undertones provides some soothing energy.

With this as an all-wall colour, you can easily create a serene space for sleeping. While it works beautifully on its own, it can also form the basis of a tonal decorating scheme. When selecting accent colours, stick with cool-toned hues. Icy blues are a good choice, while mineral greys are perfect for more modern bedroom makeovers.

If your bedroom feels dark and uninspired in the morning, you need to choose a colour that will amplify the power of natural light. With its dandelion yellow undertones, Combed Cotton is a go-to choice for any bedroom crying out for a new palette. 

Crisp and fresh, this pale shade can be used in place of pure white in any interior. The yellow undertones make it an uplifting colour choice and are just the ticket for creating vibrant spaces that will ensure you have no trouble getting going in the morning. 

If standard whites are too flat for your liking, try using something closer to grey instead. With its pale grey qualities, Radisson makes an ideal compromise if you’re keen to whitewash your space. 

This subtle hue can be used to create a simple and serene sleep space. However, it’s versatile enough that you can instantly bring colour complexity and warmth to an interior. Dark grey colours and cool-toned blues are good choices, but you can also turn to furniture and soft furnishings to add depth to your palette. 

The best white paint colours will leave your bedroom looking its best throughout the day. With Smooth Cream, you’ll have a sleep space that feels bright and uplifting in the morning, but also welcoming when exposed to a warm afternoon glow. 

Light and soft, this pink-infused cream brings warmth to any bedroom interior. As with the finest warm muted white shades, this paint colour creates a cocooning effect, even when used on its own. If you want to make a statement, pair it with dark hardwoods and elegant upholstery. If you’re thinking about introducing more colours, try sophisticated blush tones and warm greiges

An off-white paint colour might seem like a good idea when decorating a bedroom, but it’s always worth choosing something with complex undertones. Green is a go-to choice for sleep spaces, so think about something like Garlic Clove. 

This neutral hue is enriched with a delicate hint of sage, resulting in a sophisticated starting point for a more grown-up bedroom colour palette. Stick with greys or cool-toned neutrals for a refined interior, or add energy by introducing more daring notes of verdant green. 

The right shade of warm white will leave your bedroom looking its best at any time of day. With Washing Line, you have a pale white that's enhanced with a zesty note of mustard yellow.

Those uplifting yellow notes will come into their own when exposed to natural light in the morning. If you want to make your space more inviting come the evening, think about adding some earthy shades to your colour palette. 

Are you searching for another green-infused white to bring some botanical energy to your bedroom? A low-key shade like Prairie Winds is definitely worth experimenting with. This delicate white tea shade works beautifully on its own, but some subtle notes of green mean you can use it as a basis for a leafy tonal palette. 

For a crisp bedroom refresh, think about using it alongside tarnished whites and organic neutrals. If you’re happy to embrace more green, add playful splashes of chartreuse or lime-infused notes to your walls. 

White Bedroom Colour Schemes

If you’re using white as a starting point for your decorating project, you have endless options when it comes to creating a colour scheme. However, some colour pairings work better than others in the bedroom. Below are just a couple of classic schemes you can try when redesigning your sleep sanctuary. 

True White and Natural Grey

Natural greyish deep jade aqua-green

If you’re keen to keep your bedroom decor as simple as possible, a timeless pairing of white and grey is your best bet. While a chalky white hue will always work nicely with something with grey undertones, a true snow white like Swansong is an irresistible choice. As it’s so versatile, this white works well with warm and cool neutrals alike. 

While a shade with a subtle grey undertone can be used alongside this white, you should think about creating an impact with a more intense colour. Dusk Puddle is a compelling colour choice, bringing together natural grey with intense notes of jade and aqua. 

Cappuccino and Cream

Smooth Cream is a light, soft, pinky cream

Are you tired of reaching for pure white paint to refresh your spaces? Try using more sumptuous shades when redesigning your bedroom instead. Cappuccino and cream is a timeless colour combination, with both hues bringing elegance to your sleep space. Start with a light neutral like Smooth Cream to tackle the majority of surfaces. With its pink undertones, this shade will bring warmth to your interiors. 

You can now think about making a statement with an accent colour. Dark cappuccinos will work exceptionally well alongside cream, so go for something like Stone’s Throw. A glorious take on contemporary greige, there are few better choices if you’re thinking about making an impression with an eye-catching feature wall.
