Fresh coat, fresh vibes: a bedroom refresh with natural paint

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.

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 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.

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.

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!
