Alright With White

Sometimes, when it comes to small bedrooms, basic truly is best. In 2024, paint colour trends are resetting — so look for palettes of white on white on white, using varied texture for visual layering.

Midnight Rain

Feature walls are still going strong as a design trend, but in 2024, opt for a dark, rich blue, such as BEHR’s new Midnight. Tip: Make sure there is a light source near a dark feature wall to make the space feel larger than it is.

Split Up

When looking at colour paint trends for small bedrooms in 2024, two is sometimes better than one. A dividing wall has effectively created two tiny kids’ bedrooms, each with their own on-trend colour scheme — just-there pink and ever-so-refreshing mint green.
