Bedroom Paint Colours: Calm, Cozy, and Personal

The best bedroom paint colours create a restful mood and flatter the lighting you wake up and wind down in.

Start With Soft Neutrals

Bedrooms are ideal for light, gentle neutrals because they feel clean and relaxing. Popular Cloverdale whites like Metro (0530), Standard White (CA025), Smoky (CA032), and Dove’s Wing (0537) offer subtle variation so you can choose anything from crisp to warm-soft without overwhelming the room.

Add Colour with Low-Contrast Hues

If you want more personality, consider muted tones that still feel quiet. Soft greys/greiges such as Subtle Shadow (0534) or Zen Retreat (0535) work beautifully in bedrooms because they add depth while remaining soothing.

Bedroom Lighting Tip

Check samples in both daylight and lamplight. A colour that feels airy in the morning may look deeper at night so test on more than one wall before deciding.

Living Room Paint Colours: Welcoming and Flexible

Your living room is a high-traffic, multi-purpose space, so living room paint colours should feel inviting and coordinate easily with furniture and décor.

Choose a Versatile Base

Warm whites and greiges are popular living-room picks because they adapt to changing styles. Colours like Snowglory (0531), Summit (CA019), and Barely White (0021) brighten the room and let art, rugs, and wood tones stand out.

Create Depth with Mid-Tone Neutrals

For a bit more richness, step into soft greys or earthy tans. Cardigan (CA200), Subway (0536), Artifact (CA074), and Drifting Sand (0218) are strong choices for living areas because they feel warm, grounded, and current.

Feature Wall Option

If you want a focal point, deeper shades like Metropolis Mood (0526) or Captain Nemo (0542) can add drama without taking over the whole room.

Basement Paint Colours: Brightness First

Basements often have smaller windows and cooler light. The goal with basement paint colours is to make the space feel open, bright, and comfortable.

Go Lighter Than You Think

Light neutrals bounce available light around and help counteract shadows. Start with popular whites or very light greiges such as Platinum (CA187) or Place of Dust (0359).

Use Warm Undertones to Fight “Cold” Light

If your basement feels a bit blue or gray, warm-leaning tans and soft beiges can help. Options like Cloudy Today (0568), Burlap (CA070), or Concrete (CA089) add warmth while staying neutral and easy to decorate around.

Basement Durability Tip

Basements benefit from washable finishes. A soft eggshell or satin sheen makes walls easier to clean and helps light reflect gently through the room.

A Simple Way to Finalize Any Room Colour

Compare undertones to flooring, furniture, and fixed finishes.
Test large samples in the actual room for a full day.
Pick the right sheen for how the space is used.
Use popular interior favourites as your starting shortlist.

With Cloverdale Paints’ top-chosen shades and a little real-world testing, you’ll be able to choose bedroom paint colours, living room paint colours, and basement paint colours that feel right today and still look great years from now.
