The bedroom should be a calming, distraction-free retreat—one that helps you wake up refreshed and unwind at the end of a long day. If you’re ready to give your sleep space a refresh, paint is an easy place to start.
Ahead, designers share seven beloved Benjamin Moore paint colors perfect for bedrooms. Whether you prefer a simple neutral or a splash of color, there’s an option for every style.
Elmira White

One of designer Lisa Simopoulos’s favorite bedroom shades is Elmira White, which she used in a recent Craftsman remodel. “It has just enough warmth and the right undertones to pair beautifully with stained wood,” says the founder of Simopoulos Designs.
White Dove

Another designer-favorite neutral is White Dove, which Paige Dick, founder of Paige Designs, finds herself using time and time again in bedrooms. “It has a soft warmth to it that keeps the space from feeling stark or clinical, which is especially important in a room meant for rest,” says Dick. “Unlike a true white, White Dove has subtle depth that adds comfort and ease while still feeling light and fresh.”
Swiss Coffee

Alicia Roche says Swiss Coffee looks especially beautiful at the start of the day in a bedroom. “It’s a versatile neutral, and it works with calm, soothing palettes—perfect for creating a warm, relaxing bedroom that encourages rest and ease,” says Roche. “It glows softly in the morning light for an uplifting start to the day and pairs beautifully with everything from earthy tones to rich burgundies, aubergines, and deep blues.”
Palace Pearl

A cool blue like Palace Pearl “brings an immediate sense of calm to a space,” says Rebecca Staub, founder of Beck Haus Interior Design. “It has a softness to it that feels soothing, making it ideal for bedrooms where the goal is rest and relaxation.” The hue also adds a sophisticated touch to any sleep space; Staub notes that it feels “elevated and intentional.”
Glass Slipper

If you prefer a barely-there blue, go for Glass Slipper. “The subtle blue feels calm and timeless, without ever feeling like it belongs in a nursery,” says Jocelyn Polce, the founder of August Oliver Interiors. “We especially love it when paired with walnut wood tones and organic bedding.”
Kennebunkport Green

Embrace green in the bedroom like Colleen Simonds did in this space. “This color really pulls the outside in and gives this second-floor bedroom kind of a treehouse feel,” says the founder of Colleen Simonds Design. Plus, she adds of Kennebunkport Green, “This tone also has depth and vibrance, which I wanted in here.”
Inukshuk
Jessica Brydson; Design by Lisa Furtado Interiors
If you’re looking for a neutral that isn’t white, consider Inukshuk, a go-to taupey shade for designer Lisa Furtado. “It’s one of my favorite calming paint colors to use in bedrooms, including my own,” she says. “It doesn’t pull too cool (which can feel clinical) or too warm (which can feel energizing), so it creates the perfect environment to unwind and relax.”
