Your bedroom is your personal sanctuary, a place to unwind, reset, and recharge. One of the most powerful ways to shape the mood of that space? Colour. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refreshing your current setup, the right bedroom colour scheme can dramatically enhance the look and feel of your room.
Here are some inspiring bedroom colour combinations to suit every taste, from calm and neutral to bold and beautiful.
1. Soft Neutrals for a Calm Retreat
Neutrals never go out of style. Shades like taupe, beige, soft grey, and ivory are calming, timeless, and incredibly versatile. They work well in small spaces and pair beautifully with natural textures. Our Vanilla locker colour collection is the ultimate neutral locker colour, designed to bring tranquillity to any space. Try adding a vanilla metal locker like The Camden for a functional, modern touch that blends right in.
Pair with:
- White or oak furniture to complement warm-toned lockers and bring in a natural, Scandinavian vibe.
- Linen bedding in cream or stone for a soft, textured look that enhances the sense of calm.
- Warm lighting for a soft glow, such as low-level lamps or fairy lights, to create a relaxing glow.
Tip: To stop neutrals from looking flat, layer different shades and textures, such as boucle cushions, a wool throw, and natural woven baskets.
2. Sage Green and Cream for a Nature-Inspired Look
Sage green is the ultimate colour for creating a tranquil, spa-like feel. Paired with creamy whites and soft wood, it brings the outdoors in and creates a peaceful palette that promotes rest. Our range of lockers are available in Sage Green and Forest, helping you add those earthy tones to any room. We particularly love The Lambeth in these cool, green tones. Its large surface top allows you to stand floral prints or some indoor plants for the ultimate nature retreat. Read our blog ‘How to Style a Green Storage Locker’ for more styling ideas.
Pair with:
- Woven rugs and rattan lampshades to introduce natural textures and a grounded feel.
- Whitewashed furniture that balances the green and keeps things airy.
- Dried floral arrangements or pampas grass for a soft organic touch.
Inspiration: Add a eucalyptus diffuser or essential oil burner to enhance the fresh, botanical feel.
3. Slate Grey and White for Modern Elegance
Looking to make a statement? Go bold with deep charcoal or navy walls and contrast them with crisp white bedding and accessories. This creates a dramatic, high-contrast look that feels contemporary and sleek. Balance these moody tones with a sleek Slate Grey locker such as The Camden, making a perfect nightstand.
Pair with:
- Minimalist black and white art prints to maintain a refined, modern theme.
- Black metal lighting or hardware that match the locker’s finish.
- Pops of brass or gold for warmth to warm up the darker tones and add luxury.
Make it pop: Add a single accent colour, like emerald, blush, or mustard, through cushions or wall art to break up the monochrome.
4. Soft Pinks for a Playful, Romantic Vibe
Want something subtle but not boring? Blush tones bring warmth and a touch of elegance without overwhelming the room. Our Light Pink and Flamingo pink locker shades are easy to layer and create a cosy, inviting feel. We love The Fulham storage locker in pink, tastefully paired with gold photo frames and trinkets.
Pair with:
- Soft white or rose gold accents to enhance the gentle pink tones.
- Velvet cushions and textured throws for a cosy feel.
- Light wood or cream furniture to keep things fresh and feminine.
Styling tip: Use a palette of three pinks (light, mid, and bright) in soft furnishings to add depth and sophistication. 
5. Mustard Tones for a Retro Edge
For something a bit more playful, mustard yellow and deep teal make a bold, vintage-inspired duo. These saturated colours add personality and a hint of mid-century flair. A mustard metal locker, like The Bexley in Mustard, adds a punch of colour and practical storage. For more mustard inspiration, read our blog ‘Mustard – Our Locker Colour of The Month’.
Pair with:
- Walnut or dark wood furniture for a retro feel.
- Bold geometric patterns
- Brass fixtures to keep the look grounded and contemporary.
Retro refresh: Balance the bold colours with white walls or neutral rugs to keep the room from feeling too heavy.
6. Bold Blues for Depth and Drama
Blue is known for its calming properties but also has the versatility to be bold and dramatic. Whether you lean towards deep navy or sky blue, it creates a space that feels grounded yet fresh.
Opt for a blue locker like The Camden in Navy or a tall blue wardrobe like The Chelsea for maximum storage with impact. These pieces are ideal for bedrooms needing extra organisation. For more ideas on styling a navy blue locker, read our blog ‘Navy Blue – Our Locker Colour of The Month’.
Pair with:
- Crisp white or soft grey bedding to keep the room light and breezy.
- Brushed silver or chrome accents to maintain a sleek, coastal vibe.
- Artwork or decorative pieces in sky or sea tones to reinforce the blue palette.
Extra Idea: Mix different blue hues in layers for an elevated, tonal look or mix and match our blue locker colours for a monochromatic look.
