The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Bedroom Paint Colours

Our team at Mountain Paint & Decorating is here to help you choose your ideal bedroom paint colours. In this guide, we will discuss the principles of colour theory and how different hues can influence your emotions and create a sense of atmosphere. From calming blues and greens to versatile neutrals and more, we'll showcase a range of Benjamin Moore colours that are particularly well-suited for bedrooms. We'll also provide insights on how to reflect your personal style through from Benjamin Moore’s extensive collection, whether you prefer a classic, modern, cozy, or eclectic aesthetic style.

It’s essential to understand how colour affects mood. Choosing the right balance of colour temperature plays a role in creating the desired atmosphere in your bedroom:

• Cool Colours: Cool tones are known for their calming, relaxing effects. Studies have shown that cool-toned Blues, Greens, and Purples help lower stress and create a peaceful environment.
• Warm Colours: Likewise, warm colours like Reds, Oranges, and Yellows have a charging or energizing effect and may not be the best fit for a bedroom space unless it’s a tone you love. Good uses of warm colours in the bedroom include accent walls or decor, which add a touch of coziness without overwhelming the space.
• Neutral Colours: Neutral tones can lean both warm and cool and offer versatility and a timeless look. They serve as an excellent backdrop for other colours in the same tone family and allow for easy updates as your style evolves. Neutrals also help create a balanced and harmonious foundation to explore colour.

Bedroom Paint Colours for a Calm Environment

If tranquility is your goal, specific Benjamin Moore paint colours stand out for being able to promote relaxation and better sleep:

• Pale Blue: Soft blues are a favourite for bedrooms due to their soothing qualities. Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue HC-144 is a versatile choice that works well with various traditional and coastal styles.
• Soft Green: Green is associated with nature and renewal. Benjamin Moore Healing Aloe 1562 offers a subtle hint of colour that’s perfect for unwinding.
• Warm Gray: Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter HC-172 is a classic warm gray that pairs well with any bedroom decor. It’s neutral enough to create a serene space while still adding warmth.
