Top tips for painting your bedroom

Creating your perfect bedroom space

Bedrooms are one of the most important spaces in any home. After all, you spend about a third of your life sleeping—so it makes sense to give this room a little extra attention.

If you’re thinking about transforming your bedroom into a space you truly love, here are our top tips to help you get started.


Ask yourself the hard-hitting questions

What kind of space do you want to be in?

  • Do you want to feel calm and relaxed before bed?
  • Do you struggle to switch off at night?
  • Would you prefer a warm, cheerful vibe?
  • Are you drawn to cosy spaces or something more minimal and zen?

Take some time to think about how you want your room to feel—this will guide your colour choices.



Go beyond the walls

There’s no single way to approach painting your bedroom.

You might:

  • Create a feature wall to play with light and space
  • Paint wardrobes (inside or out)
  • Refresh trims or skirting boards
  • Update a fireplace with a fresh coat of paint

Or, go all in and paint the entire room for a bold transformation. It’s completely up to you.



Find your perfect match

When it comes to colour, you’ve probably heard the rule: lighter colours can make a room feel bigger, while darker tones can make it feel more enclosed.

That’s true—but don’t let it limit you. Your space should reflect your style and the mood you want to create.

If you’re after a calming, restful feel, consider soft blue-greens like:

  • Long Weekend
  • Inner Self

For something warmer and more uplifting:

  • Be Mine (dusty lilac)
  • Muted blush tones
  • C.R.E.A.M (a warm off-white)

If you’re feeling bold, darker shades can create a cosy, cocoon-like space:

  • Grey Matter (cool and calming)
  • Drop Bear (rich and dramatic)

At the end of the day, the right colour is the one that feels right to you.
