As spring officially arrives, bringing brighter and longer days, many homeowners are inspired to refresh their living spaces. DIY experts and Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh have shared their top paint colour recommendations to brighten up bedrooms this season, offering a perfect blend of style and tranquillity.
Why Spring is Ideal for Home Revitalisation
Lewis Janes, Head of Decorating & Storage at Wickes, emphasises that spring is the optimal time to rejuvenate your home. "This time of year is perfect for bringing natural light into your interiors and making rooms feel more open," he explains. "The right shades can lift the mood while enhancing the sense of space."
Kimberley Walsh recently collaborated with Wickes on a new paint line, discussing home renovation trends. She notes that the bedroom should serve as a haven of rest, with colours that promote relaxation and sleep.
Kimberley's Decorating Tips for Added Depth
Kimberley suggests that while people often know which colours work for them, adding panelling can elevate a basic bedroom. "In my bedroom, I focus more on the panelling, and I made that the feature rather than a strong, bold colour," she says. "That really works; it just elevates the space."
She highlights acoustic panelling in her son's room as an example, noting it can "bring the room to life" while maintaining an earthy, tonal aesthetic if bold colours aren't desired.
Top Paint Colour Picks for Spring Bedrooms
Soft Honey by Kimberley Walsh for Wickes
Lewis recommends Soft Honey (2.5l, £13), a warm, uplifting yellow with honeyed undertones. "It reflects daylight beautifully, creating a cosy, welcoming, and effortlessly elegant space," he describes. Kimberley involved her son Bobby in creating this shade, which now adorns his bedroom.
Wheatgrass by Crown
For those preferring neutral walls, Wheatgrass (5l, £29) offers a gentle "clay hue." Lewis calls it "neutral yet inviting," making it an excellent choice for a subtle spring refresh.
Sage No.85 by Wickes
To welcome spring's freshness indoors, Lewis suggests Sage No.85 (2.5l, £13), a "gentle, timeless pastel green." This shade brings a sense of vitality and connection to nature, perfect for revitalising bedroom ambiance.
Moonlight Bay by Crown
Moonlight Bay (2.5l, £20) is a subdued pastel blue that introduces "a softness ideal for creating a calm, restful space," according to Lewis. It serves as a breath of fresh air for springtime bedrooms.
Kimberley's new interior paint, Soft Honey, and garden paint, Pale Clover, are now available at Wickes, offering homeowners versatile options for seasonal updates.
