Certain colors are said to promote calmness and relaxation—what better place to use them than in your bedroom. Check out the best soothing paint colors for your bedroom.
The master bedroom is the most personal space in your home. So choosing a paint color is going to determine the feel of your room. Being that the master bedroom is your personal space, you want to go for colors you gravitate towards and will enjoy. Before you choose a color though, there are a few things to consider before making your decision.
The first major component to consider is the size of the room. A smaller room does much better with light airy colors. Choosing a light color for a smaller room will give the illusion of it being larger and more open. A few great light colors are Benjamin Moore Mocha Cream, Sherwin Williams Lady’s Slippers, and Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige.

Want to paint like a true professional?
A larger room tends to be able to handle a darker color without closing the room in. My master bedroom, for example, has extremely high ceilings and the room itself is long and narrow. I was able to go with Sherwin Williams Dorian Gray for the paint color. It’s certainly not the darkest color but in a smaller room, it has the potential to make it seem that way. Another beautiful darker green paint color is Sherwin Williams Acacia Haze.

How is the lighting in your room? Do you have tons of natural light beaming in? If so, the choice is yours. A light color will do wonders for your already beautifully lit room and a darker color will bring in a cozier atmosphere. Benjamin Moore Normandy is a lovely darker blue gray shade that works well in a room with a lot of natural light.

Very little natural light? I’d say the obvious choice is to go with a lighter paint color. Even if the room is larger, lighting plays a big role in how large a room actually feels.
What mood do you want to set for your room? The master bedroom is your place to unwind, in undisturbed relaxation. It’s your peaceful retreat. Your wall colors should encourage rest while creating a tranquil atmosphere. A great relaxing color is Rainwashed Sherwin Williams, SW Sea Salt, or Stonington Gray by Benjamin Moore.

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR PAINT COLORS
Are you looking for a way to keep track of all the paint colors in your home? Have you ever had to touch up some paint in your home and forgot what the paint color was? It’s like you are playing the guessing game, what color, paint, finish, and brand. It’s completely frustrating! I have the perfect solution to keep your paint colors all in one place. My simple paint color tracker can keep you and your paint colors organized!
Don’t Forget!
Finally, as I say in all my paint color posts, make sure you swatch the paint colors you are thinking about using. The colors you see on the computer look different than a swatch on your home. So choose a few colors you want to try and swatch those babies. LARGE swatches too! Trust me choosing the wrong paint color is an expensive mistake you do not want to make.
