Read on for our take on the most popular bedroom colours for 2025...
Green
A quintessential country bedroom colour – green is associated with balance and harmony, 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 2025 is the popularity of warmer neutrals. Beige is wonderful base for a room that feels cosseting and inviting. It can be a bit flat unless paired with lots of texture – the rustic limewash effect used in this vintage-infused Cotswolds home is a little more forgiving than standard paint as its lovely pigmented finish adds a bit of depth and variation to walls.
Sage Green
Sage green is delicate enough to wash across your whole room. A natural theme is embraced to full effect here – the soft colours and organic Ginko leaf motif make this bedroom look light and fresh, despite a heavy use of pattern.

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. This fabulous Nordic-style bedroom executes it so well, mixing in a lot of warming wood, 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. As this country bedroom proves, grey needn't be reserved for contemporary or minimal spaces.
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 – the wood and lovely floral quilt do a good job here.
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. This bedroom uses the palest blue as a backdrop to a fabulous array of pattern.
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 to 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. This farmhouse bedroom uses just the right amount.
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. The pale pastel purple and deep aubergine shown here are more forgiving and despite being close neighbours, pinks make a happy companion.
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 – like this wooden bed frame, stone walls, and fabulous hanging branch – add a touch of the Mediterranean.
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.
