Paint and Color Trends That Will Dominate 2022
We often get asked what are the best colors to paint your home. Painting is such an easy and inexpensive way to make a home look refreshed and modern. Not only can it increase your home’s value it also can generate joy in having a fresh palette to work with.
PERFECT NEUTRALS
Some of our favorite paint colors fall into the “greige” family as they are perfect in so many different spaces and a great timeless neutral to build upon in your decor. They rarely have unwanted undertones and work wonderfully in open floor plans.
Pay attention to your space and keep in mind that choosing a light neutral color and using the same color throughout the house is a great way to brighten those darker spaces. Our two favorite “greige” colors are Accessible Beige and Agreeable Gray both from Sherwin Williams.
COLOR TRENDS
It's time to dive into some color trends for 2022! We are seeing a lot of outdoor-inspired colors developed to bring about healthy and comforting feelings like clarifying blues, delicate greens, and grounded earth tones. Colors truly can have a direct impact on your mood and for those looking to create inspiring spaces think deep and vibrant colors like Pantone’s 2022 color of the year Very Peri. This is a great accent or a single room option to add a pop of color to your home.
WAYS TO INCORPORATE
You can bring these trending colors into your home through painting or if you’d prefer to stick to a clean backdrop on your walls adding colorful decor can bring the same statement as well while still invoking a fun and cheerful vibe. When it comes to decorating, try it on pillows or art. And don't shy away from using it with different textures like velvet, leather, or grasscloth. The best part about adding various hues into your home decor is it’s so easy and inexpensive to change out.
We hope these ideas inspire you to make your home feel great and if you need any specific paint information or a second opinion, you know where to find us!
Until next time friends, be healthy and happy!
Cheers!
