Let’s Understand Colour Psychology First

While selecting paint colours for your bedroom, you first need to understand their importance on an individual’s mood and behavior. For that, we’ll take help from colour psychology science which is getting broader with time due to its importance. The reason for its widening popularity is that both professional designers and commoners base their colour selection on the ability of colours to influence a particular mood. So let’s dive in and explore some of the popular colours and how they influence a person’s psychology: 

1. Green: Nature, growth, prosperity, harmony.
2. Yellow: Joy, positivity, energy, optimism.
3. Orange: Enthusiasm, creativity, warmth.
4. Brown: Reliability, stability, earthiness.
5. Red: Energy, passion, danger, urgency.
6. Pink: Romance, femininity, nurturing.
7. Purple: Luxury, creativity, spirituality.
8. Blue: Trust, tranquility, calmness.
9. Black: Elegance, power, mystery
10. White: Purity, simplicity, peace.

The Best Paint Colours for Your Bedrooms: Our 5 Ultimate Suggestions!

1. Peachy Pink: Or what we call the ‘orange-pink’, this colour is recognised universally for its soothing effect on eyes while also introducing warm neutrals in your bedroom to give a cosier feel. For a touch of sophistication, you can contrast peachy pink with bolder and darker shades. Don’t forget the romantic vibes it would bring for creating lovely environment for you and your partner.
2. Warm White: If you have a room where natural light reaches generously, then why not get the best out of it? Warm white comes from a neutral colour palette, which can add both simplistic charm and deluxe elegance to your bedroom if you pair it with earthy elements. The sunlight would seem like kissing the room and lighting up the whole area, while the big catch is: The colour can go with any other shade to give a completely unique outlook.
3. Mossy Green: If you look at your room mainly as a retreat then we have something special in our collection – the mossy green. It’s not often chosen but ones who do, know the elegance and organic vibes it brings to your bedroom space. Complemented by deep browns and neutral textiles, your bedroom would instantly look like a forest-like escapade with a cosy environ. If you want to bring out the elegance, then pair it with golden and see the magic. Put rose-red bed sheets or curtains and you will feel like living inside a rose (if there’s any such thing in imagination).
4. Beige: Surely the most dramatic colour shift for designers and common people in 2024 and now in 2025, was towards beige – one of the major colours from warm neutrals category. Beige is both alluring and soothing. It’s a little bit flat colour, and thus, gives room for adding different levels of shades and lots of texture. It’s in trend these days and also one of our top picks, due to its uniqueness and ability to pair well with versatile hues and textures.
5. Earthy Brown: For those who don’t want to create some particular vibes but just a sophisticated bedroom space, we suggest none other than brown. The right brown shade will always add a sophisticated charm to your space along with the luxury vibes. Our suggestion is earthy brown as it is relatively humble, light on eyes, and effectively creates a natural ambiance. You can always go for an overall darker appearance by adding furniture and curtains with deep brown shades.

What’s Trending These Days? Our Top 5 Picks

See, we’re not here to just tell you what we think. Let’s take you out in the market and see what is trending in 2025 particularly, so you can refine your colour selection:

1. Plaster Pink: Yes, you saw it right. We’re not talking teenage girls’ bedroom here. Pink is ‘in’ these days but not any regular pink, but plaster pink. The reason is its ability to add depth to your space and create an overall warm and cosy appearance. Not just that: Scientifically speaking, this warm colour in the evening counters the blue light of the T.V screens and signals our brains to initiate melatonin production and winding down for bedtime.
2. Warm Neutrals: It’s not a colour but colour concept, signifying colours like creams, earthy greens, wood shades, and caramels. See, warm neutrals were going to be in our top picks but we listed it down here so you can know it’s both in trend and our top choice as well. And why not? They are soothing, relaxing, alluring, and cosy. All these colours are central to creating a peaceful environment – and with a chic appearance. Pair them with polished furniture with relatively lighter or darker hues (depending on the main paint colour) and you’ll find out the magic they do. Although we’ve listed the entire warm neutrals here, there is one we saved for our personal favorites list. Yes, the beige. Simply majestic.
3. Rich Purple & Red: Although we didn’t list these colours earlier, they come up in the same category as the mossy green – which we listed in our top picks. All three of them are controversial at first, but when paired with the right furniture colours, the outcome is never disappointing. You’ll always get the same luxury vibes and bold appearance of your bedroom. Rich purple and red are dark, moody, shocking, inviting, and effective in creating a warm environment. Definitely for those desiring to make a bold style statement.
4. Chocolate Mousse: On the other hand, those seeking a lighter hue should opt for Chocolate Mousse by Benjamin Moore. “It exudes all the things that a bedroom should be: luxurious and relaxing,” says interior designer Audrey Frances Coty. “It’s a sumptuous colour that makes for an inviting, cosy environment. Mix it with espresso tones and creamy whites for a warm and dimensional look that is truly an elegant experience.” This taupe paint colour beautifully complements most bedroom furniture. So, if you’re giving your bedroom a major overhaul and want to start with the paint, Chocolate Mousse is a smart move.
5. Bisque White: We chose warm white because it can go well with a more versatile range of colours, and thus, speak to larger audience. Otherwise, bisque white is our favorite colour too. A warm white shade with yellow undertones, bisque white adds a sense of class and elegance to the bedroom space while bringing comfort to the eyes. Not too light and not too warm, bisque is balanced and just the right choice for your bedroom space. Pair it with lighter hues, especially white, and elevate the overall elegance of your room.

What About the Kids’ Room?

We can’t leave kids out of the equation, can we? Because colour choices impact those beautiful little infants and teens more than adults, and therefore, you have to think wisely about what colours to introduce in their bedrooms? Here’s what we suggest about colours for their bedrooms; Two for girls, two for boys, and two for both:

For Girls:

1. Pink: Timeless, elegant, youthful, and calming, nothing can beat the timeless charm of pink for girls’ bedroom. The colour plays an effective role in giving an appearance of delicacy and playfulness – perfect association with girls’ psychology. However, if you want to create a more mature environment for big girls’ bedroom, then pair the walls with contemporary, sculptural furniture and see the magic.
2. Lilac: For girls teeming with creativity and imagination, lilac walls accented with mint green trim are perfect for creating an environment, resonating magic and wonder. The colour helps inspire creativity (looking from a psychological angle), while also adding a unique sophistication when paired with light, contrasting hues.

For Boys

1. Blue-Gray: We know blue is timeless like pink is for girls. But the shades can vary keeping the trends in mind. Blue-gray gives a more restrained yet equally entrancing look and provides room for more colour play with other room elements. It pairs marvelously with upbeat accents and turns a boy’s bedroom into a fun yet sophisticated area.
2. Vivid Green: Another classic choice for boys’ bedroom, when you want to introduce a lively outlook while adding a more classy appearance. Vivid green brings energy and fresh vibes to boys’ bedroom, and when paired well with lighter tones, especially white, adds a sense of space to the whole area. However, if you want to bring cohesiveness and organisation to the space, then go for darker green room elements like green armchair, lamps, curtains, etc.

Neutrals

1. Orange: Speaking of colours that inspire good mood and spark cheerfulness and playfulness while also playing light on eyes – orange never fails to impress. For girls it is perfect, and even for boys, it is practical. Orange also develops a sense of organisation which is its unique capability. And for boys’ bedrooms which are known to be messy, why not take help from this colour?
2. Berry: Another vibrant and bold choice but one that works, berry surely adds a surprise element to your bedroom but it also offers warm, welcoming, appealing, and calming effect. Introducing elegant furniture while playing a little with the other room elements, and you can turn the bedroom into a more mature area for your grown-up kids.

Let’s categorise further:

Top Bedroom Colours for Better Sleep?

Trouble sleeping? We recommend introducing soft blue in your bedroom. This gentle shade is perfect to give you a soothing effect you need for a deep sleep. To create more stimulation, you can choose darker shades of blue that will definitely soothe your senses. Green undertones like teal are another perfect choice, providing you a warm and cosseting effect, like someone protectively wrapping around you.

The Most Relaxing Colour for a Bedroom?

Definitely green. You can’t replace the colour with this much capability of providing a soothing effect on your eyes. Green is a colour of nature and the least demanding on eyes so you feel in nature where there is only peace and comfort. Introduce mid-tones in your bedrooms if you don’t want to go too foresty but, only soothing, stylish, and organic ones.

Pink is another colour that is more of a physically calming tone. We call it the colour of cuddles. The lighter pink shades can offer a soft and calming effect to your bedroom and you can pair those shades with darker hues to create an overall more impactful outlook.
