Here at Au Lit Fine Linens, we've been helping our customers design their dream bedrooms for the past 40+ years. When it comes to choosing colours for your bedroom that are beautiful and can positively influence your mood and well-being, we know just what to suggest.
Your bedroom is the ultimate sanctuary, the one room in your home that should be designed as a place of comfort, rest, and ultimate relaxation. We've rounded up five of our favourite colour schemes for the bedroom that can positively affect your mood: whites, neutrals, pinks, greens, and blues. Follow along below as we talk about the benefits of each colour and how they can transform your space into the ultimate dream escape.
White: The Ultimate in Serenity
Forget any ideas you may have that white bedrooms are boring. White is timeless and versatile, making it a top choice for bedrooms throughout the years. Symbolizing purity and clarity, white creates a serene atmosphere that's ideal for unwinding after a long day. Its calming effect helps to reduce stress and promote a sense of tranquility, which is essential for quality sleep.
When designing a white bedroom, the key is to layer textures for a visually interesting look. In an all-white bedroom, we love to play around with different fabrics like linen, cotton, crinkle texture, embroideries, matelasse, pintucks, etc. . The result: a harmonious, spa-like retreat that you'll love to come home to.
Neutrals: Subtle Sophistication
In the past few years, we've seen a shift away from monochrome bedroom colour schemes, and an embrace of a variety of neutral tones. Neutrals such as taupe, beige, cream, beige, and soft grey possess an understated elegance, and have the ability to blend seamlessly with various decor styles.
Neutral tones evoke warmth and comfort, fostering a comforting environment conducive to restful sleep. Incorporate neutrals throughout your bed through sheets, blankets, pillows, and other bedding accessories, which will add depth and sophistication to your bedroom oasis.
Pale Pink: Romance and Tranquility Combined
In our eyes, pink is the new neutral. Pink, especially soft blush pink tones, introduces a romantic and nurturing vibe into your bedroom. Associated with love, pink hues promote relaxation and emotional balance, making them ideal for creating intimate and soothing spaces.
Enhance your bedroom's romantic appeal with bedding in calming pink shades, delicate floral patterns, or soft textures. Even just adding a blush pink throw pillow or blanket to your bed has the power to evoke a sense of serenity and affection.

Greens: Nature's Healing Palette
Greens, from soft sage to deep forest tones, bring the refreshing essence of nature indoors, promoting harmony and renewal. Green hues are known for their calming effect, reducing anxiety and encouraging a sense of vitality and balance.
Infuse your bedroom with nature-inspired tranquility using bedding in tones of sage green, moss, or dark hunter green. Incorporating bedding in botanical prints and green organic textures will result in a soothing and rejuvenating sleep environment.
Blues: Serene and Invigorating
There's a reason that blue is our signature colour here at Au Lit. Blue remains a perennial favourite for bedrooms due to its calming influence and ability to evoke feelings of peace and clarity. From soothing sky blues to deep navy shades, blue hues create a tranquil atmosphere that enhances relaxation and promotes deep sleep.
