11 Neutral Bedroom Ideas for a Calming Sleep Space
Sweet dreams are made of these beautifully calming bedrooms.
Neutral tones have a unique ability to make a space look calm and sophisticated. While punchy colours can be fun and interesting, many of us prefer a more subdued and minimalistic-looking decor scheme that is timeless.
A neutral palette can serve as a base for richly layered rooms and provide a lovely opportunity to play with textures and tones. Bedrooms should be relaxing, and using neutral tones can be the perfect starting point for creating a serene sleep sanctuary that will help you unwind after a long day.
If you're more of a minimalist or simply prefer a dialled-down palette, take inspiration from these eleven chic and pared-back spaces that invite you to clear your mind and relax without distractions.
1. Crème de la crème
This dream-like sleep space features our delicious neutral Crème, which beautifully complements the lime washed walls which envelop the room it's placed in. Our Classic Linen Bedhead seamlessly blends in with the tonal room, creating a sense of depth and dimension.
2. Verdant refresh
Playful yet peaceful this refreshing look combines a Sage, Crème & Pistachio. Melding two of our most popular verdant shades with our luxuriously rich neutral Crème, this room is designated for sweet dreams and relaxation.
3. Soothing sophistication
It doesn't get more peaceful than the calming pairing of Mineral and Crème. Balancing sophistication and style, this subdued combination adds an unmatched elegance to any space. Depth and texture has been introduced in the space in the form of floor length curtains, hand-picked florals, and rustic stools as side tables.
4. Desert delight
This chic space within a Joshua Tree Airbnb boasts an organic modern look with its natural textures, White linen bedding, and neutral palette. Studio Marrant's Kelsey Coppetti renovated the space with calming tones and organic textures inspired by the surrounding landscape.
