Whether you’re getting ready to sell your home or just want to give a few rooms a facelift, residential painting is affordable and will beautify your interior. When you’re choosing a color, you want to make sure you’re not going for something trendy just as it’s going out of style. The color trends below will help you find a hue that will look fresh for years to come.

Residential Painting Color Trends for Inspiration

1. Soft Pastels

With Scandinavian design—which has become popular in recent years—came a wash of neutral tones, so much so that multiple paint companies listed grays and whites as their top colors of the year. Now the trend is finding new expressions, and just gray and white are too sparse for some homeowners. A range of muted pastels pairs nicely with minimalist designs, so consider a soft lavender, gentle pink, or sunny yellow.

2. Ice Blue

Blue is a beautiful color, but many of its shades are bold enough to overwhelm a room if you don’t use it in moderation. A lighter ice blue still captures the calming beauty of the color but acts as a pleasant accent instead of a bold statement. It pairs well with the minimalist Scandinavian design.

3. Mustard

Maybe minimalism isn’t your style, and you’d rather create a space that practically hums with energy. If that’s your goal, mustard can help you create an eye-catching room. This color has a depth to it, and it works well in rooms with ample natural light. However, since it’s a darker color, you may want to consider using it as an accent instead of covering every wall with it.
