Bedroom Paint Colors For a Calm and Refreshing Space

Wear bolder shades in neutral areas such as bathrooms and entryways, but opt for a moody shade for your bedroom – like Dutch Boy Paints’ Mapped Blue for a bright, restful feel.

Pale grey is good with all color schemes, like in this bedroom from Peltier. It’s a great background on which to add florals and blues in this cool neutral.

What is a bedroom?
Understanding what the bedroom requirements of law in a real estate transaction when purchasing or selling is vital to either transaction. Room sizes (minimum 80 square feet, in any direction) and ceiling height (7′ are the minimum for a bedroom). Additionally, there must be two exits (which is what the lingo in real estate is called “egress”) – usually doors and windows but some states allow skylights as an exit.

Rules vary from state to state but are based on the International Residential Code. Zoning restrictions or other reasons can also contribute. Find out what counts as a bedroom by talking to your real estate agent.

The shade of color that snoozes you?
When it comes to sleep, opt for paint colours for your bedroom that encourage you to get a good night’s sleep. Avoid the bright colors such as red, orange and yellow but stick to neutrals or soft pastels for relaxation.

Rain Cloud from Sherwin-Williams is soothing in any bedroom and works equally well in both contemporary and traditional interior designs.

Colourful colours may make us feel nice, but aren’t always good for a bed because they stimulate and stimulate us – keeping us from falling off easily. Instead, try Glidden’s Mapped Blue or Farrow and Ball’s Green Smoke, both of which are earthy tones changing hour by hour, and take us back to the natural world.

The one you get in love with?
There’s the psychology of colours — how certain hues can make us feel and think. Red, for example, can rev up your energy levels and increase your motivation – but might be too stimulating in a bedroom where sleeping is the key.

The bedrooms must have the colour blue, in order to make you feel calm and relaxed. To get a romantic feeling for your room, pale blues like Benjamin Moore’s Early Frost will look like it’s the day snow has fallen or it’s raining. Or go with Sherwin Williams Char Brown instead for a comfort and beauty while being versatile enough to pair with almost any style of furniture and décor.

The one you depressed about?
You do not have to be constrained by white and beige to decorate a bedroom, go with colors that relate to you. Blues, for example, are airy and comforting; Dutch Boy Paints’ 2025 Color of the Year Mapped Blue is sure to create a beautiful mood in your master bedroom!

Farrow & Ball Setting Plaster can provide a warm and homely feeling for a bedroom which you can then match to neutral furniture and accessories to achieve the best harmony.

Reds are intense and can make you run on energy. So, if you use them in your bedroom only as a feature wall, and go for more dark caramels or ochres that will not drown out your bed.
