orange and white bedroom wall

Orange is one of the most uplifting segments of the colour wheel. If you're looking to add positivity and vibrancy to your bedroom, there's no better colour to decorate with. 

Light orange shades are perfect for adding some sunshine to a small space, while burnt orange paint is a stylish choice looking to elevate their bedroom design. 

If you prefer something more traditional, a muted terracotta will work with just about any furniture set. If you're out to make a contemporary style statement, a more vibrant orange shade pairs beautifully with rich navy. 

Tired of groggy mornings and slow starts? Orange bedroom walls will instantly promote a feeling of happiness.

At Tikkurila, we've got plenty of orange paint for bedroom makeovers that will leave you feeling inspired. Read on for some essential styling tips to help you on your way, along with a rundown of our favourite orange paint colours. 

Why Use Orange Paint in a Bedroom?

Orange is one of the most stimulating colours you can use in a bedroom. It's warm and energising, making it perfect for those who struggle to shake off that groggy feeling in the morning. 

Furthermore, it's just the ticket for those looking to turn a drab bedroom into a space they can be proud of. Tired of starting at neutral walls? A lick of light orange interior wall paint will instantly breathe new life into your room. 

Some shades can be overwhelming in a small space, but you've no shortage of choices when it comes to orange colours. An earthy hue is ideal for more grown-up spaces, pairing well with everything from grey to off-white paint colours

If you're after something more dynamic, tangerine-infused shades are the way to go. These zesty paint colours go well with green and yellow accents, not to mention classic white and timeless black.  

Wary of experimenting with orange shades in your bedroom? Why not stick to a neutral shade for your bedroom walls and ceiling, then introduce some subtle hints of orange to room features? If you like what you see, you can gradually incorporate more daring shades into your decor. 

Our Favourite Orange Paint Colours

Whether you're thinking of going all out with orange paint or want to introduce citrus notes more sparingly, you'll need some premium colours to add to your palette. Thankfully we've got plenty of standout options for you to consider. Below are just a handful of our favourites. 

If you're someone who likes terracotta, you'll love Harvest V406.  Technically, this is a mid-tone orange, but some rich undertones make this an easy substitute for earthier paint colours. 

This paint colour is just the ticket for smaller bedrooms. If you're after an orange paint that will add a subtle glow to your space, you've found it. It's a fairly dark shade, so you might want to offset the richer pigment with softer neutrals or a hint of off-white to brighten things up. 

This earthy shade also makes for a perfect backdrop for any furniture arrangement. If you're a fan of more traditional furnishings, splash out on vintage teak or timeless rattan. 

Prefer more contemporary furniture? This mid-tone orange looks great with grey upholstery, stained oak and neutral lines. 

Earthy tones and vibrant citrus shades aren't for everyone. Thankfully, we've got plenty of subtler shades we know you'll love. If you're after a more muted pastel, why not give Riviera Y406 a try?

This light orange hue has plenty going for it. It's light and airy, making it a fine choice for smaller bedrooms. Furthermore, there are distinctive pink undertones at work here, broadening your horizons when it comes to selecting accent colours. 

Use this one to paint your bedroom walls, then start working in some timeless secondary colours. Because of its pink undertones, this orange paint colour works well with light greys and off-whites. If you're thinking about a luxurious bedroom makeover, consider introducing some jewel tones and dusky hues. 

You can keep things simple with all-white bedroom furniture or experiment with more elegant pieces. Stained woods, metallic hardware and textured upholstery will also pair beautifully with this stylish orange. 

Although this paint colour is called Terracotta N405, it's unlike no other terracotta you've seen before. With its rich red undertones, this earthy hue is perfect for those looking to make a design statement. 

An ideal alternative to classic red, this luxurious orange will add instant warmth to any bedroom. Use it in a smaller space to create a cocooning effect or mix it up with neutrals and off-whites to create contrast in a larger bedroom. 

When you get around to furnishing your room, you've plenty of routes you can take. Pure white furniture and light wood will work particularly well with this earthy orange. However, you can also accentuate the red undertones with darker hardwood varieties like walnut and wenge.

If you're searching for a lighter, more vibrant shade, give Siesta J407 a second look. This pastel orange has gorgeous grapefruit undertones, making it just the ticket for anyone looking to inject their bedroom with bags of citrus character.

Although this is a pastel, it's a fairly rich choice. Use it in bedrooms that are lacking in warmth and you'll have a sleep sanctuary to be proud of.

A lick of pure white is all it takes to create timeless contrast. However, you can also have fun with pastel pink paint colours and other oranges if you're interested in taking a more tonal route to your room design.

Eager to bring some sunshine to your bedroom? A paint colour like Beeswax L396 is the way to go. Although it's a relatively dark hue, there's an earthy golden undertone that will elevate the colour temperature of any room.

During the day, this colour will leave your room feeling light and inviting. Come the evening, it'll take on a whole new dimension when exposed to warm light from table lamps and ceiling fixtures.

You can brighten things up with white furniture and neutral fabrics, although it's really made for a more sumptuous approach to interior design. Think about introducing natural textures and organic materials to bring out the best of this beautiful orange hue. 

Need a little motivation in the mornings? Painting your bedroom walls with Safari K396 is a great place to start. 

This golden orange paint colour will suit just about every taste. It's light enough that it won't feel overwhelming in a small space, while its earthy undertones make it an ideal pick for anyone looking for a more mature and inviting interior. 

If you want to offset the darker characteristics of this paint colour, think about using a velvet yellow secondary colour. Alternatively, experiment with muted mustards to create two-tone walls or decorative stencils. 

Not sure whether you want to stick with a single colour? This versatile shade will work well with almost any orange from our paint range. Use darker hues to draw the eye to feature walls and room recesses or pick out highlights with a lighter pastel.
