Bedroom Feature Wall Colour Combinations

Bedrooms are one of the most personal spaces in the home. If you're thinking about redecorating your sleep sanctuary, why not take your design plans further and introduce a two-colour combination feature wall? 

An accent wall will transform any bedroom. If you want to keep things simple, stick to complementary bedroom wall colour combinations. For a more daring design, use contrasting shades from the colour palette to create a split wall effect. 

Selecting suitable shades for two colour combinations can seem daunting. If you've only ever used neutrals or off-white paint colours before, now's the time to experiment with more vibrant shades. 

Feature walls can also be functional. They can add an essential pop of colour to smaller bedrooms that have been decked out in airy neutrals. In larger bedrooms, they can create visual interest. 

Need some help deciding on the best colour combination for bedroom walls? Our guide breaks down everything you need to know.

Sophisticated Colour Combinations for Bedroom Accent Walls

If you're someone with sophisticated design tastes, you'll need to think long and hard about colour bedroom wall combinations. Colours like rich teal and emerald work particularly well here, especially if the rest of your bedroom walls have been coated in a versatile neutral. 

If you're thinking about a single colour for an accent wall in your bedroom, always go with a darker shade. A muted teal like Silk Road S440 will work particularly well alongside whites and neutrals. It's also the perfect partner for parquet flooring styles. 

If you want to go for a lighter colour scheme, choose something like Menthol J442. This is a lighter take on teal, making it suitable for smaller spaces. Despite being more muted, this colour works beautifully alongside authentic wood textures and gold room accents. 

If teal isn't to your liking, why not try Glacier Y435? This pale blue is just the ticket if you're working with a smaller space. Use it when painting an accent wall in a single shade, or work it alongside off-whites or greys for an effective bedroom colour combination.

Earthy Colour Combinations for Bedroom Feature Walls 

Earthy colours work incredibly well in the bedroom. They create a sense of calm, effortlessly transforming your space into a sleep sanctuary. 

What's more, they're the perfect companion to natural materials and room accessories. Earthy hues work well with wooden furniture, rattan textures and indoor plants. If you're all about biophilic design, there's no palette for creating a feature wall. 

If you're a fan of rustic interiors, an earthy palette is perfect for creating a first-rate feature wall. Use a shade like Butter Milk H392 if you're thinking about a solid-colour accent wall. This peachy paint colour will bring instant warmth to any space. 

If that's not dark enough for you, there's always Wax J392. This light terracotta paint can be used on its own, or alongside a complementary colour for a split wall effect. 

For a feature wall to truly shine, you'll need to pick a complementary shade for the rest of your room. A neutral like Lotus F448 will work incredibly well alongside the earthier tones mentioned above. What's more, its subtle blue undertones give you plenty of inspiration for incorporating room accents and accessories.

Blue Two Colour Combination Inspiration

Blues are a brilliant colour choice for bedrooms. However, it's easy for a room to feel bare and cold if you stick to a single colour. For maximum impact, play around with multiple tones and choose a premium paint colour for your feature wall. 

If you want to keep things simple, use light blue for the bulk of your bedroom walls. An icy blue like Snowdrift L503 will leave your room feeling bright and airy, making full use of natural light. 

When you're ready to turn your attention to your accent wall, go for something darker. A medium blue like Rain J490 is a fine choice for bedroom feature walls. You can use this colour on its own, or alongside a navy blue for a split wall effect. 

If your bedroom is on the larger side, don't be afraid to put a darker blue to work. Sandman V431 is a fine option for feature walls. Use it on its own to draw attention, or take the two-tone route with a lighter blue. 

Best Two Colour Combination for Contemporary Bedrooms

If you're planning a contemporary bedroom makeover, a feature wall should be at the top of your list of priorities. Generally speaking, a darker shade will work best here, providing a stunning backdrop for high-end furniture and designer accessories. A pop of bright yellow paint or the colour green will also go down well.

If you're not afraid of making a statement, use a colour like Duke X491. This dark navy is almost black, with rich grey undertones making it one of our most versatile paint colours. This one works well with dark woods, monochrome furniture, and gold accessories. 

Midnight Y498 is another standout shade worthy of any accent wall. This is one of our darkest greys, making it a suitable selection for dramatic backdrops. Use it on its own, or create a stylish split accent wall by adding a splash of Paper F497.

Two Colour Combination Ideas for Rustic Bedrooms

If you're a fan of rustic interiors, it's easy to fall back on muted neutrals and light pastels. While there's nothing wrong with this type of colour palette, it does mean you'll have to get more creative when creating an accent wall. 

For single-colour statement walls, use a sky blue shade like Trade Wind H441 or a brighter hue like Cumulus Y354. 

If you'd rather experiment with a two-tone feature wall, pick a darker blue and combine it with a more neutral paints like Paper F497. 

Once your feature wall is finished, you can put the finishing touches to your bedroom. Tonal blues are easy to work with. Add crisp white bedding, unfinished pine furniture and natural accents into the mix for a timeless interior you'll have no trouble relaxing in.
