Neutral Bedroom Colour Schemes

If you want to create a truly relaxing sleep sanctuary, neutral tones are the way to go. Neutral bedroom ideas can be as simple as sticking to white walls and natural textures. However, if you're eager to move away from more traditional decor ideas, you've got a huge variety of colours to choose from. 

For a truly inspired neutral colour bedroom, stick to neutrals and off-whites when painting walls. This way, you invite plenty of natural light into your interiors. With this taken care of, take your pick from richer shades including chocolate brown and plush pink to add much-needed colour to your interiors. 

Dark wood furniture lends itself well to a neutral bedroom, while sumptuous fabrics can add texture and visual interest. Don't be afraid to experiment with different materials and be sure to incorporate plenty of decorative pieces to make a space your own. 

Short on neutral bedroom ideas? Our go-to guide will provide you with plenty of inspiration for creating neutral bedrooms in any home.

Classic Neutral Bedroom Ideas

Thinking about a neutral colour scheme for a master bedroom? Neutral walls are often the best choice for larger rooms, while you can add plenty of stylish accents with the right choice of bedding and materials. 

Neutral colours like Kaolin H497 work particularly well for walls. This eye-catching neutral also works well with monochromes, so think about pairing it with a textured black bed frame or headboard. 

Darker neutrals can also be introduced effectively. Railway V495 is a great choice for adding contrast to alcoves and feature walls. You can also use it to break up the monotony of a muted backdrop. To add some luxurious contrast, introduce brass or copper light fixtures and decorative objects. 

Make a Statement with a Neutral Palette

Just because a neutral scheme is understated, doesn't mean you can't create a stylish space that will make an impression. A neutral backdrop can be coordinated with monochrome fixtures and furniture, with tonal greys and off-white accents providing extra depth. 

A paint colour like Bungalow G500 is a fine choice for walls. This light blue is the way to go if you want to avoid lacklustre white. However, you can still match it with many complementary colours you'd usually pair with white and more typical neutrals. 

If that colour is a little blue for your liking, give Horseradish F390 a try. This off-white neutral has gentle lilac undertones, bringing a subtle shot of warmth to your bedroom interiors. This one works particularly well with solid black bed frames and wrought iron textures.

Simple Neutral Bedroom Design

A neutral space is perfect if you struggle to drift off at night. By using a neutral backdrop and just the right amount of colour, you can create a relaxing and sleep-conducive space. 

Sometimes, it's best to strip things back to the absolute basics. Forget about overwhelming a space with furniture and too many bedroom features. Instead, limit your room objects to a comfortable bed frame, a bedside table and compact storage solutions. 

It's vital you pick the right neutral shade for your walls. Something like Cashmere X485 will work particularly well, simplifying your interior design and providing minimal distractions to a good night's sleep. 

Pale blues are also a fine choice for spartan bedrooms. A neutral like Arctic Fox S503 is a versatile option and works well with darker blues and warmer, earthier tones alike. 

Stylish Coastal Bedroom Ideas

You don't need a waterside property to enjoy the aesthetics of a coastal bedroom. In fact, designing a nautical-themed sleep sanctuary is simpler than you think. With the right choice of materials and a neutral colour palette, this timeless design trend is easy to achieve. 

It all starts with the right choice of colour for your walls. Go with a light colour Chalk F484 to leave your bedroom feeling open and airy, especially if natural light is limited. You can always introduce darker shades later to provide much-needed depth and contrast. 

A paint colour like Snowdrift L503 is also worth experimenting with. Light blues will bounce light around effortlessly. Meanwhile, they can be coordinated with crisp whites and lighter neutrals with ease. 

If you're looking to add more colour to a coastal bedroom, reach for grey fabrics and yellow upholstery. Prints and patterns will add personality, while wooden furniture will add to the relaxed feel.

White Walls and Natural Materials

If you struggle to get to sleep at night, it might be time to consider a white bedroom. Don't be afraid of all-white interiors. Unless you're a purist, you won't be exclusively using crisp white in your decorating efforts. 

Kick things off with a colour like Winter V503 to paint your walls. This off-white neutral has delicate grey undertones that work well with crisp white bedding. What's more, you can add darker shades and tonal greys to introduce more character to your space. 

If you prefer your neutrals with bluish character, think about using Seagull F496. You can use it to paint an entire room or reserve it for feature walls and individual room accents. 

If your neutral bedroom is lacking in character once you've finished painting, it's time to accessorise. Wood tones work well with neutral walls, so play around with rustic furniture and hanging artwork. For more colourful accents, turn to textured throws and patterned bed linen.

Using Green in a Neutral Colour Bedroom 

Green is the perfect colour for bedrooms. It's calming and creates a serene space to relax in. However, it's easy to overdo it if you're using the wrong tones. 

When decorating bedrooms, stick to lighter green hues for walls. Sage and forest greens are particularly effective, although you're free to use a combination of colours if you want to make the most of an interesting room layout. 

Need some inspiration? Cucumber Y383 is one of our finest neutral greens. This pale shade is perfect for contemporary bedrooms, especially if you're working with dark wood flooring and earthier room accents. 

A touch of light blue works particularly well with neutral greens. Think about adding a splash of Trade Wind H441 to your interiors for the perfect complement to a muted green.

Add Warmth with Blush Pink 

If you're looking to put the feminine touch to a main bedroom, blush pinks and jewel tones are the way forward. We've got plenty of premium shades that fall into this category. 

Ice Rose J503 is fairly muted, but it's a go-to if you're looking to add warmth and elegance to a bedroom interior. Its lilac undertones work well with crisp white, but you can also use it alongside more daring colour pops. 

If you want to experiment with a slightly darker shade, there's Illusion F483. This colour is perfect for larger bedrooms and teams well with white, grey and silver. 

Neutral Bedroom Colour Palettes 

Do you have your heart set on a neutral bedroom? Read on for some first-rate colour combinations that will make your design plans a reality.

Pastels are one of the easiest palettes to experiment with if you're thinking about a neutral bedroom. They're versatile and easy to coordinate with, providing you with plenty of opportunities for accessorising and incorporating room accents. 

With its light blue undertones, Lotus F448 is a good choice for bedroom walls. There is also some muted grey character here, making it a strong choice for bedrooms with monochrome furniture. 

To make an impact, use Nile V386. This muted neutral brings together the best qualities of green and grey, making it a fine fit with contemporary bedrooms. 

Finally, there's Playa X395. Guaranteed to go down a storm with fans of blush palettes, this striking shade adds instant sophistication to any space.

A dusky palette can bring a touch of romance to any bedroom. We've got several premium colours to choose from, all of which look right at home in a neutral bedroom. 

Chai H459 is one of our favourite shades. This dusky blush pink can be used for walls in smaller bedrooms, but also works well alongside off-white if you're aiming for a subtle contrast. 

It also pairs well with grey neutrals, so think about combining it with Conglomerate S484. This dark grey is particularly striking and perfect for creating an eye-catching feature wall. 

For a more subtle shot of colour, use Coconut Y456. This premium neutral is a muted lilac, making it a fine companion to blush pinks and easy-going off-whites.

Pink and purple neutrals work incredibly well together. They're a more fiery alternative to other neutrals, but they can instantly transform an unloved bedroom into something truly special. 

Start with something soft like Parchment F466 for walls, especially if you're dealing with a larger space. This subtle pink works well with white and light greys, but you can also enrich it with richer hues. 

For something more sophisticated, think about using Driftwood V484. This stylish neutral combines the best elements of purple and grey, making it incredibly versatile and easy to work with. 

If you're looking for a lighter neutral, Jasmine F503 is a brilliant option. You can use this one instead of classic white, with its light lilac undertones making the perfect match to more eye-popping pinks and purples. 

If you're thinking about creating a bedroom that exudes feminine charm, make sure you're armed with a suitable colour palette. Pinks and lilacs are the obvious options here, but more striking shades can work equally well. 

Gardenia F309 makes for a great starting point if you're looking for a light and airy neutral. With its lilac undertones, you can use this paint colour in place of plain white. 

To add vibrancy to a bedroom, use something like Parmesan F302. It's a fairly bright option, so use it sparingly in larger spaces. Alternatively, have fun mixing and matching with a full palette of blush pinks and dusky shades. 

In need of a colour for a statement wall? Kestrel L478 is something to consider. This dark aubergine shade makes an instant impression and hits all the right notes if you're aiming for a more luxurious interior.
