Your bedroom should be a sanctuary of peace and calm, and a neutral colour scheme can help you to create just that.

Contrary to popular belief, a neutral, cream beige bedroom doesn’t need to be boring. Far from it, in fact. There are many interesting ways to use texture and shape within a neutral bedroom to create interest, as well as many accompanying colours that work well alongside a neutral base. 

With this in mind, here are some ideas for beautiful, neutral paint colours for your bedroom. 

Neutral paint colours for your bedroom

A taste of the Med by your bed

A deep, burnt orange looks stunning with neutral bedroom paint as can be seen here in this serene, Med-inspired bedroom. Keeping the walls soft helps to retain the calming atmosphere, while the orange frames the bed area, making it a really stylish focal point within the room.

50 shades of beige

Beige comes in a range of tones and hues, therefore it’s surprising how much depth you can create with one single colour. Here, the walls have been decorated with Brushed Cotton, contrasting with a fresh white shade on the panelling behind the bed. This adds a nice contrast to break up the shades of beige on the walls, the bed linen, and the bedside tables.

Talking about taupe

Soft and warm, taupe is a neutral colour that pairs well with other neutral tones. It can create a cosy and inviting atmosphere in a bedroom, and can have a variety of different shades and undertones, such as pink, purple, or green, depending on the mix of colours used to create it.

Neutrals with blue

Beige neutral bedroom ideas don’t always need to be tonal. For example, the neutral walls in this bedroom work well with the blue bed, as they create a calming and soothing backdrop behind the tempting blue bed. Neutral colours like beige, grey, white, or cream can all complement blue accessories without clashing or competing for attention. You can also add some further accent colours in the room such as patterned curtains, scatter pillows or a chunky throw to create a cohesive and stylish look.

Let the sunlight in

Subtle and stylish, this bedroom space utilises the reassuring shades of beige and cream to create a harmonious balance of neutrality. The panelling around the bed and the layered textures on the bed ensure that there is plenty of depth and interest, while still keeping everything mellow and hushed. The natural light flowing in from the side is the ultimate pièce de resistance, which has everyone’s approval – especially the cat!

Creamy dreams

Cream is an ideal neutral paint colour for a bedroom when you want to create a sedative, spa-like ambience. Layering cream on cream is very much on trend right now and works especially well when you combine natural textiles and fabrics such as painted wood, linen, and cotton for an eco-chic look and feel. Cream is a timeless shade that doesn't go out of style and can work well with a variety of different decor styles and can be easily updated with new accent pieces as trends change over time. From Rabbit’s Foot to Gentle Lamb check out our favourite shades of Valspar cream paint.

Earthy bedroom greige

Not quite grey, not quite beige, greige is a modern and versatile colour that lends itself perfectly to a neutral bedroom colour scheme. Greige can be paired with a variety of other colours and textures to create a chic and sophisticated look, however, pairing it with natural fabrics and colours brings out the best in it. Wooden furniture, bamboo accessories, and natural flooring all blend beautifully with a greige wall and ceiling paint to bring out its true organic qualities.

Peaceful in pink

When you want to add a certain softness and femininity to your sleeping space, a gentle, neutral shade of pink offers all the qualities you are looking for. Opt for the most muted shade of pink you can find and blend it with white for a harmonious balance. Splashes of patterned florals work especially well with this colour scheme, as do monochrome accessories and artwork.

Neutral monochrome mix

Soothing neutral paint shades and sharp monochrome accessories might not read like a perfect interior match on paper, but when you combine them with a third colour shade – an earthy green in this instance – it blends everything together seamlessly and elegantly. The cream and green neutral combo adds warmth and softness and balance to the modern black and white lines of the bed linen and the grey flooring.

The simple mix of grey and cream in this bedroom creates a serene and sophisticated atmosphere that is a perfect balance of cool and warm. When using these colours together in a bedroom, you may want to experiment with different shades and textures to create depth and visual interest. For example, you could pair a light grey wall with cream-coloured bedding and curtains or add a plush grey area rug to a cream-coloured floor.
