Incorporating the Year's Trending Paint Colors into Your Home Decor
Whether you're ready to overhaul your home's entire aesthetic or just want to update a specific space, a fresh coat of paint is an ideal solution for many home decor needs. Home decor trends for the year are starting to emerge, and rich earth tones, like forest green and terra-cotta, are popular, along with various blue tones, including ocean-inspired blue hues and colors that blend gray, purple, and blue into a single shade. Radiant peach, pink, and blush tones will also be prevalent. Here are a few ways to incorporate these trendy paint colors into your home decor.
- Mix Light and Dark Tones
Perhaps you're ready to try a dark grayish-blue hue, but you're worried it will make your home look dark and small. An excellent alternative is to combine the darker hue with a lighter color for balance.
For example, you might paint a single wall with a dark color and opt for a lighter hue on the remaining walls. Or, you can use light-colored molding or wainscoting to ensure the final result isn't too dark. - Paint Your Cabinets
If your kitchen or bathroom cabinets are overdue for a makeover, painting them is a budget-friendly solution. Since cabinets take up a smaller portion of the room, they're an excellent spot for bolder, trendier hues that otherwise may feel overwhelming for the space.
Should your plans involve adding your home to the inventory of St. Louis homes for sale, updating your kitchen and bathrooms will help your home appeal to as many potential buyers as possible. - Use Two Bold Colors Together
When using a single bold color feels too intense for your home, a solution is to utilize two bold colors in the same room. This adds visual interest and enables you to use a variety of shades you love in your home.
Some colors that work well together include pinks and blues, purples and blues, reds and blues, and greens and peach or blush tones. - Add Color to Spaces That Need More Energy
Bold, bright colors tend to invoke strong emotions, making them wonderful options for rooms that you feel are lacking in energy. For example, if you want to add excitement to your home office or gym, these rooms are ideal spots to incorporate trendy paint colors.
Or, if a section of your living room feels listless and dull, paint a wall or piece of furniture with your desired color to enliven the space. - Try a Monochromatic Color Scheme
Decorating an entire room with a single color feels like a risky design choice, but it's actually a chic, sophisticated way to incorporate more color into your home's decor. Choosing paints, fabrics, and prints that are the same color makes it easy for you to purchase items for the room.
Selecting a mix of light and dark hues (for example, light and dark blue) enables you to add style and flair to your home without worrying about whether a certain piece suits your new paint color.
If you're ready to try the latest paint colors, having several stylistic options ensures that the new hue suits your home and aesthetic preferences. Ready to put your home on the market? Get in touch today to get started.
