Coloured Bedroom Wallpaper: Choosing the Right Shade for Restful Sleep
Let Colour Set the Mood
More than any other room, a bedroom is about how it makes you feel — and colour is the fastest way to set that mood. The right shade can make a bedroom feel calm and serene, warm and romantic, or rich and cocooning. Because every one of our designs is printed to order in the colour way you choose, you're never settling for the nearest shade: you can match your wallpaper to exactly the feeling you want to wake up to.
At Claret & Key, every design is drawn in-house and printed in your chosen colour, made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.
Calming colours: green and blue
If rest is what you're after, green and blue are hard to beat. Soft sage and muted greens are deeply soothing and quietly sophisticated. Gentle blues, from powder to a soft airy sky, feel serene and restful. Both bring a calm, nature-led quality that suits a bedroom beautifully, whether in a botanical, a floral or a fine stripe.
Warm and romantic: pink, blush and warm neutrals
For a bedroom that feels cosy and welcoming, warm tones are lovely. A dusky or blush pink is soft, grown-up and romantic. Warm neutrals — cream, oatmeal, soft taupe — feel gentle and enveloping. These shades flatter morning and evening light especially well, wrapping the room in warmth.
Rich and dramatic: deep, moody shades
For a luxurious, cocooning bedroom, go deep. A dark green, a moody plum, a rich navy or a near-black ground turns a bedroom into an intimate retreat, especially behind the bed. Deep colours feel enveloping rather than cold, and they make a design's detail glow under lamplight.
Choosing your shade
Because we print to order, the colour is entirely yours — and bedroom light shifts a great deal between morning and night. Every design comes in three finishes: Traditional (150gsm, super-matte), Heavy-Grade (300gsm) and Removable peel-and-stick (180gsm), all printed on FSC-approved, PVC- and VOC-free paper, safe for the room you sleep in.
Order a sample and see your shade by daylight and lamplight before you commit.
Wow love this wallpaper, have it in two rooms in different background colours in my cottage. Highly recommend Claret & Key, could not be happier 5 stars all the way.
Loved the pattern. Looks so nice in our home. Harley spring eucalyptus. Matches perfectly with Benjamin Moore seabrook sage. Great coordinate with our powder bath that has Hilda Spring peel and stick paper. Thanks do letting us have so many color choices. As well as seasonal tones.
Applying the wallpaper was a new experience for me, but I’m very happy with the outcome. It was great to have the freedom to reposition the paper when necessary as I figured out a good process.
The paper is beautiful, easy to work with (according to my husband!) and it looks so good. Really happy with it, the tracker is helpful to know where it’s at ahead of arriving and so pleased with the finished result. We got the Autumn version and the colouring is stunning, even my teenage son has been talking about how cosy the room is now!

This wallpaper is gorgeous and an instant upgrade to our dining room. I have received so many compliments on this wallpaper. The print is delicate and makes a statement without being overpowering. We ordered extra rolls, and customer service was fantastic with our return request. I have recommended this company to all my friends!
I was so very happy when the wallpaper arrived it is even better than the advert.
Beautiful quality and my decorator said it was so great to hang on the wall.
My daughter loves it too so will be reordering very soon.
Many thanks

We are totally in love with our new wallpaper for our lounge. It arrived quickly and in excellent quality. We are already looking for our next design 🥰
Absolutely love this wallpaper, needed 4 rolls for the room but completely worth it. Absolutely stunning and excellent to use. Not a fan of wallpapering but this felt so easy because it’s thick so more manageable and blended smoothly
This window seat has never had much personality, and the blue cabinets have always needed an accent that ties them to the overall space. The Amelia pattern was perfect, and the removable wallpaper was very forgiving as I learned how best to line things up well. I’m very happy with the result!
I got the Esme with Background: Calm Breeze
Pattern: Lilypad for my bedroom and absolutely Love it! Very gorgeous! My contractor said the paper was really good quality and, when he put it up, it didn't curl at all. Will definitely order from Clare & Key again.
This was my first attempt at hanging wallpaper. Luckily, our walls were fairly square. I have no comparison, but I found this paper very user friendly. I would gladly shop with you again, and intend to hang more paper in future. Thank you!
