Create a calming bedroom sanctuary for you and your newborn: 9 ways to pair Lick paint colours with the new SnüzPod5

If you are planning for the arrival of a newborn, you may be considering decorating your bedroom. Designing a calming and nurturing space is essential—not just for your baby, but for you too! A serene environment can help both babies and parents get the rest they need, especially in those precious early months.

We’ve partnered with Snüz, to celebrate the launch of the latest generation of the award-winning SnüzPod, SnüzPod5 to help you to create the perfect cosy sanctuary for you and your newborn baby, when paired with Lick’s beautifully curated paint colours.

What to consider when redecorating a bedroom for the arrival of a newborn

• Create a calming space by choosing warm-toned, muted colours in a cohesive scheme for your walls, furnishings and accents. Pinks can make you feel physically soothed; the lighter the shade of blue, the more mentally relaxing it will feel, whilst greens have a grounding, balancing effect, bringing you closer to nature. 
• Choose a quality bedside crib for your baby’s first bed. The new SnüzPod5 is adjustable, portable, includes a rocking feature and removable wheels, making life easier for parents-to-be. 
• Choose a durable paint that will stand the test of time. Lick paint is scrubbable, and stain and scuff-resistant, making it ideal for growing families. 
• Keep the space clutter-free with clever storage solutions. Matching-storage bins or floating shelves painted in your chosen colour palette can tie the whole scheme together, keeping essentials tidy but within reach.
• Consider the effect of paint on air quality in the room. Lick paint is trace VOC, creating a safer indoor environment for your family during and after decorating. 
• Opting for baby furniture made from natural materials (vs. plastics) will help your space to feel both sophisticated and functional. Snüz are committed to making their cribs and accessories from materials such as sustainably-sourced wood, cotton and wool, rather than synthetics. 
• Incorporate soft furnishings like rugs, curtains and cushions that match your chosen colour palette to tie the room together and create a comforting, nurturing environment, whilst also supporting your baby’s tactile learning. 

How to pair the SnüzPod5 with Lick Paint colours to make your space baby-ready

When decorating for a newborn, one concern that many parents-to-be have is how to maintain their adult style and identity, whilst also creating a functional space for their baby. To help you design a cohesive space which incorporates both elements, Tash Bradley, Lick’s Director of Interior Design, Colour Expert (and mum to 1-year-old Zac), has curated a Lick paint colour palette to complement each of the SnüzPod5 colours. 

Whether you are a fan of warm cosy neutrals, want to inject some colour into your space or create a bold statement, each palette can be personalised to fit your style. Tash recommends using the palette not only for your wall colours, but also for your furnishings and accessories to create a cohesive space. These palette recommendations can be used in any bedroom space to create a calm environment. 

1. Mocha SnüzPod5:

This palette combination is everywhere in 2025, yet it has an enduring timelessness. Complement the rich earthy neutral tones of the Mocha SnüzPod5 with warm Brown 02, cosy Beige 01, comforting White 06 and accents of decadent Purple 03 for a gorgeously luxurious scheme.

2. Cashmere SnüzPod5:

A new addition to the Snüz range, the Cashmere shade pairs perfectly with soothing pinks and warm neutrals. Try nurturing Pink 07, or a more sophisticated dusky Pink 08. Alternatively, try pairing it with grounding Taupe 05 or comforting White 06  on your walls with pink accents.

3. Terracotta SnüzPod5:

To bring the striking clay-like undertones of the Terracotta SnüzPod5 into your room, try colour drenching with Red 03 on your walls. Alternatively, opt for warm neutral colours with pink undertones, such as calming White 06 or nurturing Taupe 03 on your walls to create tonal harmony. You can also introduce accents of Red 03 and Pink 08 on painted furniture or bedding for example.

4. Graphite SnüzPod5:

If you already have black accents throughout your home, the Graphite SnüzPod5 might be for you. Go bold with an empowering Black 02 or rejuvenating Green 19 on your walls, or to create a more monochromatic, contrasting scheme, go for a comforting White 05 or calming Beige 10 on the walls, with darker accents. 

5. Walnut SnüzPod5:

This vintage-inspired palette is brimming with nostalgia. For a bolder look, opt for the grounding Teal 01 or joyful Orange 02 on the walls, with neutral accents. Alternatively, lean into the natural feel of the walnut and choose a comforting White 05 or cocooning Beige 02 if neutrals are your vibe. 

6. Sage SnüzPod5:

Inject some colour to your space with the earthy tones of the Sage SnüzPod5. Create a calming and restful environment by pairing it with comforting White 05 or cocooning Beige 02, or go bold with positive Green 02 or restorative Green 03 on your walls or furniture. 

8. Natural SnüzPod5:

The versatile Natural Snüzpod is a bestseller, and can be paired with calming greens to bring an earthy feel to your space. Calming Green 02 is a Lick fan favourite, whilst lighter Green 09 brings a sense of serenity and harmony. For a more neutral scheme, opt for uplifting White 03 or cosy Beige 01. 

9. White SnüzPod5:

The White Snüzpod5 can truly be paired with any colour scheme or style. Tash recommends pairing it with soft neutrals like cosy Beige 01, uplifting White 03, comforting White 05 and bringing in a warm Brown 02 for a grounding effect.
