Bedroom Paint Colour Schemes - Warm
Warm bedroom colour scheme
Blush & Plum, a warm bedroom
A bedroom should feel like an exhale, so this scheme stays soft and warm, one family of blush pinks deepening to a quiet plum. Barely-there pink on the walls, a warm cream ceiling, gentle or deeper pink woodwork, and a muted plum for depth at the edges. No feature wall, the tones do the work. It is restful in a main bedroom, and just as lovely in a nursery or child's room. Every colour is breathable, low odour Graphenstone Grafclean, and endorsed by English Heritage.
Five tones of one warm family, pale cream to deep plum. Screens vary, so treat these as a guide and try a swatch at home.

Delicate Pink on the walls
A soft, rosy pink that warms a bedroom without ever tipping sweet. It holds a gentle glow at dawn and dusk, and sits beautifully with linen, cane and warm brass. One of our most restful pinks. In our low sheen Grafclean matt.

The warm white above
Keep the ceiling warm. Warm Magnolia is a soft, creamy white that stops a pink room feeling cold overhead, a kinder cream than a stark brilliant white.

The gentle route
For a seamless, cocooning look, take the woodwork in Blush, the palest pink in the scheme, so skirting and doors melt quietly into the walls. In wipeable Grafclean Eggshell.
Shop BlushBriar Rose
The moodier route
Prefer the trim to show? Briar Rose is a dusky, greyed pink that frames the walls a clear step deeper, for a more grown-up feel. Also in wipeable Grafclean Eggshell.

Faded Plum on the details
A muted, vintage plum for the back of a shelf, a headboard wall or a wardrobe, where the scheme gains a little weight. Used sparingly against the pale pinks, it adds a grown-up depth without darkening a restful room. A natural partner to brass, walnut and soft linens.

- BolderBring Faded Plum onto a headboard wall, or swap the walls to the deeper, warmer Antique Pink for a cocooning bedroom.
Bedrooms are low-wear rooms, so a breathable matt on the walls helps regulate moisture and keeps the air fresh while you sleep.
