We asked some of Washington’s top interior designers to share their favorite paint colors for master bedrooms. Here are their choices. (Benjamin Moore was popular!)
Darryl Carter: Darryl Carter
Bancroft White by Benjamin Moore
A warm white that Carter used in his own master bedroom.
Lauren Liess: Lauren Liess & Co.
Ancient Ivory by Benjamin Moore
[pin_widget url=”https://www.pinterest.com/pin/267682771578530572/” width=”large”]
Softer and warmer than a stark white, making it ideal for a bedroom.
Courtney Cox and Alex Deringer: Ivy Lane Living
A gray with beige undertones that changes throughout the day.
Zoe Feldman: Zoe Feldman Design

An ethereal blue with a serene, cloud-like feel.
Rachel Dougan: ViVi Interiors
A deep aubergine that doesn’t skew too feminine or masculine.
Kelley Proxmire: Kelley Interior Design
Symphony Blue by Benjamin Moore
[pin_widget url=”https://www.pinterest.com/pin/160722280429516971/” width=”large”]
A true navy that never looks dark green or black. Proxmire prefers it in a gloss finish.
Marika Meyer: Marika Meyer Interiors
Thornton Sage by Benjamin Moore
A fresh green that puts you at ease at bedtime and energizes you in the morning.
