When homeowners feel the need for a home design refresh, a fresh coat of paint on the walls can make a world of difference. As families remain home more during extended work from home and online school, a home painting color update that packs a punch seems to be on many people’s minds. Here are a few popular hues prominently gracing the walls of homes this year. 

This Year’s Popular Wall Colors

1. Happy Hues

In the wake of a trying year, homeowners in 2021 are leaning toward sunnier shades on their walls. From soft yellows to vibrant jewel tones, interior home painting will see a resurgence of happy hues to improve one’s mood instantly. Provide balance to colorful walls with an all-white palette in your furniture. If you want to dive fully into this fun trend without going overboard, though, start using the 60-30-10 rule — 60% of a dominant color, 30% of a secondary color, and 10% of an accent color. 

2. Nods to Nature

In a similar vein, all this time inside has homeowners craving the feeling of the great outdoors. Expanding on the hunter-green influx in the past few years, earthy greens and seashore blues continue to be favorites in kitchens and bathrooms. Meanwhile, sandy shades and terra cotta tones are taking over living spaces in need of a warmer take on natural influences. 

3. Warm Neutrals

A neutral palette will always have a place in a home, though recently, interior designers have ventured deeper than beiges and landed into true, chocolate browns for home painting. Rich cocoa hues traditionally play into home design by way of dark wood furniture and rich leather couches, but a fresh take on this classic addition flips this palette on its head. Deeper brown paint on the walls juxtaposed with light cedar wood furniture and pale upholstery can create a chic, modern take on this cozy color.
