Sherwin Williams Alabaster is a creamy white that soared in popularity a couple years back. It is still a go-to warm white for a long list of designers. We have toured gorgeous Country French bedrooms in designer Brit Jones’ own home which has interiors featured in this beautiful white.

This next soothing paint color is the one I chose for the interiors in our Arizona vacation getaway. It has green undertones which worked well with the intense sunlight.

3. Benjamin Moore “White”
What constitutes soothing for some is not necessarily soothing for all. The bright white chosen for our Chicagoland European inspired cottage here may not float your boat. However, Benjamin Moore “White” is awfully soothing for us since it feels like pure snowy delight!

For many folks, “tranquil bedrooms” are equated with soft ethereal blue paint colors, and here is a blue-green option to possibly sample. It forms a blissful canopy in this showhouse bedroom in Atlanta.

I have always loved the blue on the walls of this showhouse bedroom which are covered in grasscloth wallpaper (Ainsworth Noah). What blue paint would approach its beauty…?

Here are some contenders to approach that heavenly hue of the wallpaper:
Here’s a tranquil paint color that isn’t as shy as Revere Pewter and looks amazing contrasting with crisp white trim in a friend’s modern farmhouse.

In that same modern farmhouse, a slightly subdued version of Platinum Gray is used in a few bedrooms. Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray is a soothing paint color that you’ll notice is silvery and chic.

I love it when designers share their paint colors, and Charlotte Reiss of Vivi et Margot gave us the full scoop in our tour of her farmhouse in France. Interestingly enough, she is re-painting the house as we speak, and I can’t wait to see which Farrow & Balls colors she chooses!

Here is a pretty white paint color that reminds me of BM Ballet White, which is a lovely color option my mom painted all of the interiors in her prior home.

Michele,
So many beautiful color choices I can’t make up my mind. I started to redo my guest bedroom/office with your tips. I got as far as removing all the large unneeded furniture and cleaning. Only leaving the desk, bed and bamboo shades now I need to pick a paint color. I guess my trouble is I’ve recently remodeled the kitchen (all new) and of course that meant the dining room, living room & entry along with the kitchen were all in painted Sherman Williams Drifts of Mist which I love. Now I’m moving on to the rest of the house; bedrooms and bathrooms. I don’t know if I should keep with the Drifts of Mist paint color or go with some other complementary colors?
I hear you! When I was at that stage, I was exhausted from all the DIY – so I painted one guest bedroom dark grey and the other BM White like the rest of the house. The dark grey got on my nerves within a year so I painted it white. 4 years later, I am ready for some additional color interest. You might want to play with the Drifts of Mist color. My sister used different saturations of the same grey throughout her home to great success. Since each room has a unique exposure, the same color can read quite differently anyway. I am also having trouble deciding – only because there are so many beautiful hues to choose from and my furnishings are neutral. But I’m leaning toward a very muted light blue-grey. I guess I am no help at all!

Do you have the source for the beige bedspread in the third picture down (picture with the white ceiling beams) under #1 (Sherwin Williams Alabaster)? Thank you in advance! Love these ideas!
Very nice article. I liked the color suggestion s and ideas for the bedroom. Color combinations were fresh and trendy that just elevates the look of the bedroom. I was looking for a unique pattern for my bedroom accent wall with olive color on rest of the three walls. Can you suggest me one?
Thanks for the kind words. I still like hand stenciled walls for a timeless look. Not sure you like French inspired designs, but a large French poem stencil like this: https://rstyle.me/+Gw11kmGE78Uh3mQOpr_L8w can create a beautiful statement wall in very little time and cash. 🙂
