5 Paint Color Trends to Consider for Your Home

Spring has finally sprung in New England and with it comes an infusion of much-needed color. Why not get inspired by Mother Nature and add some new color to your home’s interior? Whether you’re remodeling your home or refreshing a room, the right paint color will help create the style and aesthetic you want for your space. Not sure where to start? Here are five paint color trends to consider for your home.

Warm and Soothing Neutrals

This year, we’re seeing an emergence of warm and soothing neutrals with hints of yellow, pink, or peach undertones. These hues bring a sense of comfort, calmness, and relaxation to any space. 

Earth Tones

Rich, warm colors, such as terracotta, rust, and clay add depth and texture to your space, making it feel cozy and inviting. These colors can work anywhere in your home—from your living room, to your bedroom.

Tranquil Greens

Olive and sage green hues create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere in your home. These earthy colors work well in living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, or any space where you want to create a calming environment.

Bold Blues

Blue is always a classic color, but this year bold and dramatic blues are taking center stage. From navy to royal blue, homeowners are embracing this versatile color in a big way. Bold blue accents can add a touch of sophistication and elegance to your room. Blue is also a great color for creating a calming and peaceful environment.

Rich Reds

Red is a vibrant color that can add energy and excitement to any room. This year, varying shades of rich, deep reds are expected to be a popular choice among homeowners. These colors create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for entertaining guests or spending time with family.

When selecting colors for your home, try experimenting with tones and shades in different rooms to find what best complements your style. But no matter what color you select, we recommend keeping the following tips in mind:

• Lighting

Lighting can have a significant impact on how a color appears in a room. Be sure to consider the natural and artificial lighting in the space before selecting your paint color. We recommend testing a few paint samples on your wall and observing how they look at different times of the day.

• Undertones

Be sure to note the undertones of a color before selecting it. For example, gray paint with blue undertones will look completely different than gray with green undertones. Undertones can also change depending on the lighting in the room.

• Room Purpose

The color you choose for your room should match its purpose. For example, a bold and vibrant color may work well in a playroom or exercise room, but it may not be as suitable for a bedroom or home office where you may want a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

• Room Size

The color you choose can have an impact on how large or small a room feels. Lighter colors can make a room feel more spacious, while darker colors can make a room feel more cozy and intimate. Be sure to consider the size of your room when selecting a paint color.
