Eager to get stuck in? Read on for some essential tips on how to decorate with this premium palette, along with a pick of some of our very best purple paint colours. 

Why Choose Purple Paint for Your Bedroom Walls?

Purple has long been synonymous with royalty, but anyone can put this palette to use in their home. In the bedroom, purple works particularly well, with its red and blue undertones making it one of the easiest colours to coordinate with. 

Is your master bedroom in need of a grown-up makeover? Dark purple paint is the way to go if you're looking to create drama. Furthermore, richer shades work particularly well with luxurious accents and mature complementary colours like tan, grey and silver. 

Do you have trouble drifting off at night? Stick to light purple paint like lilac to create an instantly relaxing space. You can rein things in with pure white accents or expand your palette with a pop of pink.

Purple can also help leave you feeling energised in the mornings. A brighter shade will have no trouble bouncing around light, especially if you're using white ceiling paint. 

What's more, purple is incredibly versatile. You can stick to a pink and purple-inspired palette and complementary colours, or mix things up with more daring contrasts like orange and yellow. The choice is yours. 

Our Favourite Purple Bedroom Paint Colours

Have you decided that purple is the way forward? Below, we've singled out some of our favourite purple paint for bedroom design projects to leave you feeling inspired. 

If this is your first time decorating with purple, it might be an idea to stick with a more muted shade like Minuet X344. This is a quintessential lavender hue, making it perfect if you're aiming to create a relaxing bedroom interior. 

Although it's a softer purple shade, it's not lacking in richness. This vibrant lavender will add instant depth to any wall and works equally in small bedrooms and master suites. 

If it's too low-key for your tastes, why not mix things up with a darker lilac or rich jewel tones? You can use multiple hues for a tonal wall motif or introduce wall art to make a statement. 

Need some tips on furnishing your bedroom? Once you've painted your walls, you can go either way with this gorgeous purple colour. 

It's light enough that it will work well with all-white bed frames and furniture, as well as softer woods like beech. However, it's certainly rich enough to coordinate with darker woods like walnut or dark grey pieces.

For a more adult-friendly bedroom, go with dusky shades when decorating your space. A paint colour like Shantung V481 will make a welcome addition to any master bedroom, with its dusky pigment adding instant elegance to your space. 

This one is perfect if you're looking to create a relaxing sleep sanctuary. Your room will feel bright and airy during the daytime and soft and soothing once the sun sets. 

Furthermore, this purple is easy to coordinate with. It makes an ideal match with classic brown, but can also be used alongside jewel tones and metallics if you're aiming to create a more luxurious interior. 

When it comes to the finishing touches, don't be afraid to embrace more sophisticated design trends. A wall colour like this will look sensational alongside parquet flooring, while gold-tone hardware and mid-century furniture are also incredible accompaniments. 

If you're not sold on a pure purple room, the dusky nature of this paint colour makes it easy to introduce additional hues. Keep things simple with off-whites and muted greys or make a statement with pale pastels and syrupy shades. 

If you're short on space, a bold purple isn't the best decorating choice. Thankfully, we've got several standout purple shades that are just the ticket for transforming compact bedrooms. 

Violet Y344 brings up all the versatility of light grey, with the added depth of lilac undertones. Unlike a typical blue which can leave a bedroom feeling cold and sterile, this lilac-infused paint colour will freshen up your interiors, leaving your room feeling light and airy. 

It's also a fine option for larger rooms. However, if you are using this to decorate a spacious bedroom, think about introducing some darker purple tones to create depth and visual interest. 

Furnishing a room painted in this purple paint colour is easy. If you want to maintain a fresh and airy vibe, stick to low-profile furniture in white or light wood. When it comes to upholstery, stick to neutral-coloured bedding and delicate drapery. 

This purple also serves as a great backdrop for understated elegance. To create a more dramatic interior, think about choosing dark woods and wrought iron fixtures. It's also an effective blank canvas for monochrome-inspired arrangements. 

Dark purples don't need to be reserved for a lounge or dining room. In fact, richer shades can work incredibly well in a bedroom. 

Beetroot M425 is unashamedly dark, but there are plenty of red undertones here that make it a stylish choice for any bedroom. You can use it on its own in any space, but it also works well with jewel tones and neutrals if you're looking for more colour variety. 

Giving a master suite a makeover? Why not use this rich purple for an accent wall, then offset darker pigment with earthy neutrals or an icy grey? 

Focusing on a spare bedroom? You can use this gorgeous shade liberally, but you'll want to brighten things up with light-coloured furniture and muted bedding. 

If you still need convincing that purple's the right choice for your bedroom, it might be an idea to consider a few blue paint shades instead. Antarctic Y348 is one of our more versatile paint colours, combining subtle grey with sky-blue undertones. 

This gentle blue can be used in place of purple, but it also works beautifully alongside it. Not sure a compact bedroom can take an all-purple makeover? Use this stunning shade alongside your purple pigment of choice to create a two-tone motif. 

If you want to add depth to a room painted in lavender or lilac, this light blue is the perfect pick. It'll freshen up room features like recesses and alcoves, granting your space depth and character with minimal effort. You can even use it alongside much darker shades like beetroot or aubergine that have a distinct red undertone. 

Alternatively, use this blue to paint your walls, then reach for one of our premium purple shades for overhauling existing furniture. You can then add further layers of purple to your space with bedding, rugs and other soft furnishings.
