Dulux: How To Use Colour to Create a Personalised and Soothing Bedroom

A bedroom is more than just a place to sleep; it is a place where you relax, unwind, and escape the day’s stresses. What that space looks and feels like is different for everyone, but whatever its shape or size, the bedroom should feel personal and comfortable—somewhere you want to retreat to at the end of a busy day.

Dulux ColourFutures 2025 has inspiring and flexible colour ideas to help create the right atmosphere for your sanctuary. Using the Colour of the Year and its complementing palettes, which range from subtle toning schemes to easy colour combinations, you can transform your bedroom into a gorgeous retreat.

Personalise your bedroom with rich and saturated tones to create a space that resonates with your unique taste. From natural dyes and pigments to spices, this colour palette invites you to embrace your identity and have the confidence to create a home that’s just as unique as you are.  “Our ColourFutures™ tones match perfectly together, so they are easy to combine with furnishings from different cultures’’, adds Ramaisa.

 Brighter colours that evoke joy and energises spaces in our home can help us maintain a positive atmosphere. “Brighter and bolder pops of colour combined with a neutral base are becoming more popular as people seek more adventurous colour combinations. Saturated, earthy, warm tones add impact to your bedroom without feeling brash or intrusive. These colours work beautifully with natural materials and can be used to dress up any room”, advises Palesa Ramaisa, DuluxColour Expert.

A bright and bold bedroom

Infuse personality into your space with vibrant pops of colour against a neutral backdrop for an uplifting atmosphere. “Bold colours like yellow can be used in a variety of ways, you can start small by framing windows or get creative with a feature wall to create a statement wall. You can also introduce these colours in your bedroom with bright-coloured scatter cushions, a throw or a rug to make your space feel happy and calm’’, concludes Ramaisa.
