Most popular bedroom colours for 2025

Colour is so vital these days especially when creating a bedroom that is both reflective of your taste, and conducive to relaxation. Your colour palette influences every conceivable aspect of design, from flooring to bedding and accessories.

Green

A quintessential country bedroom colour – green is associated with harmony and balance, and the revitalising aspects of nature. Deep forest greens are a great choice for colour-drenching small, intimate spaces.

Beige

The most dramatic change for this year is the popularity of warmer neutrals. Beige is a wonderful base for a room that feels cosseting and inviting. It can be a bit flat unless paired with lots of texture.

Sage Green

Sage green is delicate enough to wash across your whole room. A natural theme makes bedrooms look light and fresh.

Black

Despite being one of the boldest of design decisions, black bedrooms now prove more popular than grey and white. However, decorating with black takes a bit more consideration than other colours. If executed well, they can bring in warming wood tones, and hints of blue.

Grey

Greys are slowly falling out of favour, but their versatility and ease of use have kept them in the top 5 most popular bedroom colours of 2025. Greys are so often matched with neutral companions – whites and creams are common – to create something light and expansive.

Pink

A pink bedroom needn't look sugary. Chalky pink, mauve, and deep berry shades work best on walls, where primary pink can look overwhelming. The key to finishing a pink room in a way that doesn't look too young is to add lots of texture and pattern.

Blue

Blue is the ultimate shapeshifter, spanning a cooling spectrum, from pale sky blues that pair wonderfully with crisp whites, to deep inky grey blues that create moody and sophisticated design schemes.

White

White is the last word in clean and simple colour. Country homes tend to do white very well because underlying surfaces are almost always highly textured – often wood panelling and exposed brick – which offsets the flatness of white.

Navy

In our experience, navy is almost always best reserved for accessories. Applied to walls it can have an overwhelming richness, especially where there are other rich elements in a room like wood or heavy textiles.

Purple

A surprising entry at number 10. Purple can be a tricky colour to pull off, especially a mid-purple that can veer into comic book territory.

Yellow

A sunny entry in 11th place, and a deceptively versatile one. Cooler variants of yellow with undertones of green look fresh and citrusy, whilst natural materials.

Dark blue

Deep and inky blues are arguably the most sophisticated of all the blue shades. In light-starved rooms, they can appear grey or near black, so if they are used on walls, some bright pops of white are almost always welcome.

Cream

A little cooler than beige, but warmer than white, cream is a classic middle ground that acts as a fairly blank canvas in a bedroom. Warm it up as shown in this fabulous country bedroom with plenty of reds and pinks.
