They say we spend a third of our life sleeping. So your bedroom is one of the most essential rooms in your home. We all want a bedroom that exudes calm but is chic at the same time.
Which is why the colour of your walls is so important. There are so many paints to choose from – how do you make the right choice?
We got you! Read on to learn which colours you should paint your bedroom.
What kind of paint should I use?
Let’s go back a step. The paint you choose will depend on what you need.
Paint is either oil or latex-based. Latex is popular because it’s easy to clean, doesn’t fade and has long-lasting durability. Oil is often used to stain wood. Allow more drying time if you do decide to use an oil-based paint.
Then you need to choose the sheen. The glossier the paint, the easier it is to clean. Semi-gloss paints are slightly cheaper than high gloss. But glossy paints tend to show blemishes on the walls.
Choose a flat or matte finish paint for walls with lots of imperfections. It won’t be as easy to clean, but it will hide those little mistakes.

Light lilac
Think lilac is just for grandmas? Think again! Paint your walls a subtle shade of lilac if you want to decorate with colour, but still be understated.
Although this room mixes shades of lavender and violet, it still creates a calm, serene energy. The trick is in the tone – it’s best to stick with muted pastel colours.
And don’t be afraid to mix textures, shapes and finishes to add depth to your room.
Khaki green
Feeling tribal? There’s nothing lusher than a khaki green bedroom!
Wake up in the jungle every day with a nature-inspired shade of green. While strong and striking, it’s still soft enough to create a tranquil and soothing feeling.
Khaki green is also a great backdrop to any other accent colours you may have. Gold or navy blue always work well with this tone.
Blush pink
For those looking for a soft, versatile colour – then blush pink is for you. Pink has become the biggest on-trend colour for 2020, and it’s not hard to see why.
Pair your paint colour with rustic wood trimmings for a fresh, farmhouse look. Or add a strong pattern for instant pop.
Lemon yellow
What’s fresher than a lemon? This stunning paint colour!
Lemon yellow is an intense colour, so consult a colour wheel during the decorating process. If done well, you will create a room full of warmth and cheer.
Not brave enough to go all the way? Consider painting yellow stripes, or half walls, like this bedroom.
