Fresh Coat, Fresh Vibes: A Bedroom Refresh

You know that feeling when you rearrange your furniture and suddenly your room feels brand new? Now imagine that feeling, but multiplied, just by painting your bedroom a new colour.

If your room’s been looking a little tired or just doesn’t feel quite right anymore, a fresh coat of paint might be exactly what you need. It’s one of the quickest, easiest, and most cost effective ways to breathe new life into your space. No major renovations are required, no (or minimal!) stress—just a few hours, a brush, and a natural paint colour that makes you feel good.

Blue Bedrooms

We are often asked about blues as there is a misconception that blue means cold. The blues at Edward Bulmer Natural Paint are completely the opposite. The earth and mineral pigments we use imbue our blues with warm undertones.  With 21 blues to choose from, we can help you find the perfect shade for your room and soft furnishings within it.

Green Bedrooms

Green is Edward’s favourite colour and it is evident in the particular beauty and variety of our greens. From strong and vibrant, such as Olympian Green to deeper warm tones like Verdigris and Light Olive Green our colours all embrace nature and bring the outside in. For a softer paler tone, Eau de Nile is the perfect calm bedroom backdrop.

We wanted a paint that was multi-facetted and felt unusual without being shouty; something mercurial and complex to suit the character of the building and the people who pass through the doors - Verdigris is complicated in the best possible way:  green / blue / light / dark / cold / warm - difficult to pin down and therefore never boring.

Pink Bedrooms

Pinks are very restful tones to pick for a bedroom. Bright and cheerful, such as Rose looks fabulous paired with greens and spots of red in this bedroom by Rita Konig. For a warmer tone, our Jonquil is grown up and versatile, and will bring a touch of warmth without being overpowering.

Cuisse de Nymphe Emue and Mason Pink are both dusky pinks that are not too feminine and both suit bedrooms for those of all ages.

Deeper Colours for Bedrooms

If you’re craving a bedroom that feels a little more grounded, dramatic, or just extra cosy, consider leaning into deeper tones, like warm reds, (Brick) earthy terracottas (Header) and deeper browns (Etruscan Brown). These colours bring warmth, character, and a touch of sophistication to your space.

Our natural colours are extra grounding, and will bring a sense of calm and stability.

At the end of the day, your bedroom should be a place that feels right for you, whether that means soft and serene, warm and earthy, or bold and dramatic. The beauty of our paint is that it’s the perfect way to totally shift the mood and personality of your room.

So don’t be afraid to experiment. Trust your instincts. Pick a colour that makes you feel something—calm, happy, grounded, inspired—and let your walls do the rest. Don’t stop with just the walls  – consider painting the ceiling and woodwork the same colour. Explore our blog on drenching … or you can even pick stripes!

How much paint do I need?

We have created this calculator to help you estimate the amount of paint you will need for your project. Please note that this is only an estimate, based on normal surfaces with two coats of paint.

Please check our practical painting advice - if you are painting onto a very absorbent surface, you may need more paint, and for best results, you may need to prime your surfaces.

If you end up with any leftover paint, get inspired with ways to use any excess paint - it's even compostable!

What are you painting?

Estimated
Painted Wall/Ceiling Area

Our natural matt emulsion is perfect for interior walls and ceilings.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on the dimensions of your room, minus the space taken by average doors and windows.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.

Estimated

Our water based eggshell or gloss is ideal for woodwork or metalwork.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on skirting and the doors/windows you tell us about. 1 litre should cover 2-3 doors or 20m of skirting.
