Crown Paint Colours For Bedrooms
The top trending paint colours for spring/summer have been revealed, with nature-inspired hues of green, beige and grey leading the way.
With households dabbling in more DIY as a result of nationwide lockdowns, the team at MattressNextDay analysed UK Google searches for 34 of the most popular paint colours from Farrow & Ball, Dulux and Little Greene to find out which ones we'll be seeing more of.
Taking the winning spot is Farrow & Ball's Purbeck Stone — a clean, understated mid-grey hue that resembles the colour of stone found on the Isle of Purbeck. Farrow & Ball's Jitney and Green Smoke took the second and third spots, respectively, both rising in popularity among homeowners.
While Farrow & Ball dominated most of the list, Dulux's Pressed Putty also made an appearance, scooping fourth place. With a natural, pink-like finish, it's the ideal hue for a bright bedroom, hallway, bathroom or study.
Dulux
"Often when picking a paint colour for their home, many people play it safe and pick a neutral colour, as they're too overwhelmed to choose something different. However, particular colours have psychological impacts so taking the time to pick a colour which not only looks good but makes you feel good is important, too," Martin Seeley, CEO of MattressNextDay, says.
"That's why it was refreshing to see that the majority of the paint colours we've predicted to be big this spring/summer, are inspired by nature. After spending so much of the past year indoors, our research found that interest in green and brown coloured paint is on the rise."
Take a look at the paint colours on the rise...

22 stylish, sustainable homewares pieces
Zig Zag Square Recycled Wool Cushion
Hemming & Wills hemmingandwills.co.uk
£19.50
Forget what you thought about scratchy, recycled fabrics – these wool cushions are really comfy to snuggle up with. Choose from a denim blue or ochre tone, but we'd recommend the yellow as it really draws your eye. Your sofa will look much more cheerful as a result.
Why's it eco?The cover is made from recycled wool clothing and the cushion pad is filled with an eco-friendly polyester made completely from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
Recycled Wool Blanket
The Tartan Blanket Co. trouva.com
US$42.00
Every home needs a good wooly blanket – use it to wrap up in on your armchair on a winter's evening, as a picnic blanket in the summer or as a decorative throw for your sofa. You don't even have to faff about with hand-washing either, as these go straight in the machine – impressive.
Why's it eco?Each blanket is made from material that would otherwise go into landfill, with at least 70% being wool.
ReDown Recycled Feather & Down Duvet
Soak & Sleep soakandsleep.com
£31.25
Forget stuffy polyester or commercially farmed down duvets – this is a far more sustainable choice. Stock up on two or three so you're sorted for all seasons; they're available in a light and airy 4.5 tog up to a thick and luxurious 13. We know it's still chilly outside, but if you're savvy and invest now, you can get the lightest version for 25% off.
Why's it eco?It's filled with GRS-certified recycled feather and down.
Eden organic cotton towel collection
Sheridan sheridanaustralia.co.uk
£3.00
When your current towels have reached the end of their life, recycle or donate them and then replace them with a set of these quality organic cotton ones instead. They're super soft and fluffy; we tried the bath sheet and it's a real treat. Even better, they're currently on sale, so now's the time to stock up. Choose from dusky pink, black, grey or ivory.
Why's it eco?These towels are made from GOTS-certified (that's the highest standard possible) organic cotton. Among other credentials, that means that no nasty chemical fertilisers or pesticides were used to grow it.
Thea Recycled Knitted Throw
We love this Dunelm throw. Not only is it completely affordable, but it comes in a choice of eight different colours. We opted for the Mink shade, which is a lovely warm neutral that works well with the pastel pink tones in my bedroom.
Why's it eco?It's made entirely from recycled materials – 51% upcycled cotton and 49% recycled polyester
Autumn Skies Dried Flower Posy
Cottage In The Hills
£40.00
Adding a bunch of flowers to your dining table, chest of drawers or console table is such an easy way to boost the mood of a room, but the cost of your weekly bouquets can soon add up. Opt for an (equally lovely) dried version instead and enjoy them for far longer.
Why's it eco?Rather than buying a fresh bunch every week (and all the plastic wrapping and intensive farming that involves) these should last for at least a year, so long as they're well cared for. A worthy investment.
Wells Bubble Vase, Wide
Garden Trading gardentrading.co.uk
£40.00
This elegant vase has a pale blue tone that will make for a soothing addition to your dining table or dresser top.
Why's it eco?It's made from 100% recycled glass.
Vintage Pink Bamboo Bedding Set, Double
Panda ethicalsuperstore.com
£145.00
This cosy bedding set comprises a sheet, duvet cover, two pillow cases in a matching dust bag. Our favourite is this dusky pink set but it's available in four other colours too.
Why's it eco?It's made from 100% bamboo (yes, even the buttons), which is a highly sustainable resource as it's one of the fastest growing plants on the planet. It also only needs a third of the amount of water needed to grow thirsty cotton plants.
Vacuum Eco Kettle
Vektra ethicalsuperstore.com
£59.95
We all know not to overfill the kettle when we use it, but still, we often find ourselves with a couple of mugs of water leftover after making our morning cuppa. This innovative kettle keeps water hotter for longer after boiling, preventing the need to reboil for your next top-up.
Why's it eco?This kettle has vacuum flask technology that boils water efficiently then keep it hot for up to four hours – so you're not continuously re-boiling, saving money, time and energy.
Black & Natural Ekuri Seagrass Basket, Large
Natural Collection naturalcollection.com
£29.95
Use these decorative baskets to store blankets and other bits and bobs in, or use them as a pot cover for your favourite house plants. Do remember to use a normal pot inside, as well though, to avoid them getting grubby or water leaking through!
Why's it eco?They're handmade to Fairtrade standards from sustainably-sourced seagrass (which is totally biodegradable).
Vintage Blue Compost Bin
Living Nostalgia naturalcollection.com
£16.99
This powder-blue composter is much prettier than your standard-issue council brown food waste bin, so it won't look unsightly in your kitchen. There's also an in-built filter to help keep bad smells to a minimum.
Why's it eco?So the materials themselves may not have any extra-special sustainability credentials, but being able to pop all of your food waste in here rather than your rubbish bin helps to reduce the amount of waste going into landfill and put it back into your garden instead.
Ruri Recycled Glass Jug
Nkuku naturalcollection.com
£11.85
This ornate jug will serve you well throughout the summer months for many glasses of Pimms. Snap it up now, as it's currently on sale.
Why's it eco?Recycled glass, on average, uses 30% less energy to make then virgin glass – and this is100% recycled.
Recycled Cotton Chindi Rug
John Lewis & Partners johnlewis.com
£12.00
Add a splash of colour to your living space with this vibrant rag rug – we think they'd look good in a dining or hallway area.
Why's it eco?The cotton in the rug is recycled.
Indian Recycled Paper Saucer
So it's a bit unusual, but this paper lampshade is a guaranteed talking point – it's certainly a far cry from the dusty paper globe shades that adorned your student digs.
Why's it eco?It's made from 100% recycled paper and there's no plastic bulb holder
200TC Organic Cotton Double Duvet Cover
Soak & Sleep soakandsleep.com
£24.74
Soak & Sleep's all-white bedlinen will create a hotel-style sanctuary in your own home – and you can sleep even more soundly knowing it's made from planet-friendly organic cotton.
Why's it eco?The cotton is organic, so no chemical pesticides were used throughout the production process
Set of 6 Recycled Glass Tumblers
British Colour Standard
£42.00
If you've accidentally dropped one too many glasses and your selection is looking a bit thin, replenish your stash with this bright and beautiful set of six.
Why's it eco? They're made from 100% recycled glass.
Recycled Glass Cake Dome
Keep cakes, cheese and other treats safely away from flies under this glass cake dome, which makes for a beautiful decorative piece in its own right.
Why's it eco?The glass is completely recycled and the base has been made from sustainably-sourced mango wood.
Scenario Organic Cotton Duvet Cover
La Redoute laredoute.co.uk
£40.00
If the all-white look isn't for you, go for this organic bedding set from La Redoute instead, which is available in an array of bold and more neutral tones.
Why's it eco?The cotton is organic, so no chemical pesticides were used throughout the production process.
Organic Natural 5 Piece Knife Block
Viners silvermushroom.com
£29.95
This minimal block is available in a sage green or calming oatmeal and contains all the knives you should need – a chef's knife, carving knife, bread knife, utility knife and a paring knife.
Why's it eco?The knives have been made from at least 85% recycled steel and the block and handles are part-made with wheat fibre; a natural by-product from the wheat farming industry that's usually burned. The bamboo lid on the block can also be recycled or composted.
Organic Knife Set with Board
Viners viners.co.uk
£21.00
Want to complete your set? Add this matching organic knife and chopping board set to your Viners collection. The knives are super-sharp and the board is great quality, too.
Why's it eco?Like the knife set above, this set has been made from wheat fibre, which will break down under normal composting conditions within three to 36 months.
Stainless Steel Lunch Box
We love this steel lunchbox and fork combo. It's got a removable metal divider inside so you can keep salad away from grains, for example, or leftover curry separate from rice. It can also be used as an oven dish or a freezer container, making it really great value for money.
Why's it eco?With care, this lunchbox should last you a lifetime – so you'll never have to buy another. It's made from BPA-free, quality steel under ethical conditions in China.
The Lux Mattress
Brook + Wilde brookandwilde.com
£599.00
Obviously, a new mattress is a serious investment – so sleep guilt-free by checking the eco-credentials of your new mattress company. Brook + Wilde are a premium British mattress-in-a-box company with a focus on quality – and sustainability. I have the medium Lux mattress and would say it's on the firmer side, which personally, I prefer – my back feels much better in the mornings since switching.
Why's it eco?For every mattress sold, B+W will plant a tree – and operates a zero-waste policy throughout production. Impressive.
