By incorporating a few new paint colors, whether as an accent area or an entire room painting project, a fresh coat of paint remains one of the most economical ways to enhance and modernize the appearance.
Paint color is a homeowner’s best decorating tool. You can change the appearance, the perception of size and even the perception of temperature, through the simple use of paint color.

Back to Basics
Homeowners who are seeking comfortable and serene spaces will reach for a variety of casual neutral and pastel hues to create warm and inviting spaces. Neutrals provide versatility and allows homeowners to quickly change the look of a room just by changing a few accessories. It is simply a prudent, practical, cost-saving approach to interior painting.
Warm whites, tawny tans, barely-there coral and green will find use in kitchens, bedrooms and baths.
Well Worn Hues
Like a pair of favorite jeans, blue will grow in popularity as not just a wall color but also as a ceiling color choice. Blue hues are represented across the spectrum, from denim dark to blue-grey.
As a complementary hue, yellow or yellow-green adds a bit of “spunk” when used in family spaces.
Shimmer and Shine
For thrifty consumers looking for a bit of sparkle, higher paint sheens and metallic finishes are available. Don’t be surprised to see spaces such as hallways and living areas painted in a very glossy hue from top to bottom. More gloss means more sheen, which means more light. Gloss can subtly create a brighter, more upbeat mood in a home, but at the same time, it adds style.
Dining rooms and master bed and bath spaces are the perfect areas for this sophisticated choice.
Coupled with the “high shine” trend, gold will return as both an in-demand paint hue and as a key metallic choice.
