Following the turn of the new year, design trends are beginning to emerge shedding light on what we can expect to see in 2018. Society’s growing interest in mindful living has homeowners rethinking their surroundings and the impact it has on their day-to-day.
In terms of interior design, paint colors are playing a lead role in establishing the right energy and vibes inside one’s home. I, for one, am a firm believer in this theory and question how I ever survived high school with pink and blue walls… Scary. If you’re due for a change of scenery, painting your walls is the perfect place to start. In celebration of the new year, I have gathered six noteworthy paint colors that designers everywhere can’t stop talking about.
Fun fact: Farrow & Ball claims that Cook’s Blue is known to deter flies! I coated the walls of Bennett’s nursery with Privilege Green by Sherwin-Williams and I am utterly obsessed.
To maintain a bit of feminity against the nontraditional eggshell green, I outfitted the room with mauve accents throughout. Okay, I know I just said that I’ve been gravitating towards darker colors lately, but cream is so yummy, it deserves to be included.
Cream is the ideal backdrop for those looking for a neutral tone that’s subtleties allow you to reinvent the space with furniture and decor for years to come. Reminiscent of a fading sunset or a stark desert, this earthy hue creates an inviting sense of warmth.
To keep your space from feeling too bohemian, cut the clay color with a metallic tone or a crisp shade of white. Sherwin-Williams Raucous Orange // Farrow & Ball Red Earth // Benjamin Moore Spiced Pumpkin // Behr Raging Bull
Although a saturated saffron can easily be applied to small spaces or a welcoming entryway, the bright intensity can sometimes be too stimulating for a bedroom.
