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.

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. Light Olive Green. Credit: Elizabeth Hay Design. Photography: Jonathan Bond Verdigris.

Claudia Waddam 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. Cuisse de Nymphe Emue. Credit: Rita Konig Mason Pink.

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. Brick.

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!

Colour and the South Facing Room The arrival of sunnier days, lighter evenings and bank holidays encourage us to spring clean. There is no better time to give a room a fresh coat of paint and the south-facing room is a great place to start. At this time of year they are filled with natural light during the day as they benefit from the lovely spring sunshine. This consistent brightness offers more flexibility in colour choice than north-facing spaces, but we recommend selecting shades that complement the natural light for the most harmonious effect.
