Bedroom Paint Colors

The best bedroom paint colors are the ones that help a room feel restful. Soft warm neutrals like Like Buttah and Classic, quiet greens like All the Sage and calming blues like Headspace and Frozen all read as soothing on the wall. For a cozier, more enveloping bedroom, deep greens like Current Mood and Field Trip and a deep navy like Nearly Navy create a retreat-like feel.

For a neutral bedroom, warm undertones feel friendlier than cool grays, which can read flat in low light. Like Buttah is a soft buttery cream, Neutral Territory is a sandy warm beige and Classic and Greige are balanced greiges that stay warm without going yellow. All four work in most lighting and pair cleanly with white trim.

Yes. Dark green is one of the most popular bedroom colors because it feels cozy and enveloping rather than stark. Current Mood and Field Trip both wrap a bedroom in a calm, retreat-like feel and read deeper and moodier at night. Plan for two coats, and pair with off-white trim and natural wood.

In a small bedroom, higher-LRV colors (LRV 55 and above) reflect more light and open up the space. Whipped, On Point and soft warm neutrals all work well. A small bedroom can also carry a deep color like Current Mood when it is balanced with strong light and lighter furnishings, which makes the room feel intentional instead of cramped.

North-facing bedrooms get cooler, indirect light, so warm-toned paints perform best. Greiges and warm neutrals like Classic, Neutral Territory and Like Buttah counteract the coolness and keep the room inviting. Cool grays can look gray-blue or flat in a north-facing room.

Yes. Clare paint is zero VOC and GREENGUARD Gold certified, so it is formulated without the solvents found in many conventional paints and meets rigorous standards for indoor air quality. It is also low odor and water-based, so the bedroom can be re-occupied sooner after painting.
