When it comes to decorating the bedroom and choosing the best paint colour, you want to get it right the first time.

“We don’t want to commit to putting just one shade on the walls in case we want to change other elements of the room,” said Marianne Shillingford.

This is why it’s important to consider a colour palette, the creative director of Dulux, Marianne Shillingford told HouseBeautiful earlier on in the year.

It’s very likely, over time, that the bedding or accessories in the room will change, which can make the room look disjointed if there’s only one hue. The decorator revealed: “The solution is to fall in love with a palette.” She elaborated: “Have fun with details like adding bands and stripes of current favourites.”

With this in mind, these are some of the best colour palettes to use when decorating your bedroom.
