Color has the ability to transform a space in the blink of an eye! Each year, we see new interior color trends pop up and change the game when it comes to designing a new space. If you’re planning to remodel or upgrade a room/rooms in your home, consider keeping these trends in mind!
Color Trends in 2020
Whether or not you’ve stayed on top of the color trends this year, you’ve definitely seen these colors pop up more than once in 2020. The color trends were generally quite cool and worked well in modern environments. Let’s take a look.
Pastel Pink:
Pastel pink has been on the rise for quite some time and 2020 was no different. Splashes of light pink and hints of rose gold have had their time and while they still provide a nice mix between a warm and cool feel, it might be time to test the waters with other color palettes.
Classic Blue:
The Pantone Color Institute deemed classic blue the color of the year for 2020. While it was a dependable choice and has fostered resilience throughout the year, it’s time to break out of our shells and play around with the new trends!
Interior Color Trends
With 2021 right around the corner, there’s no better time to take a look at some of the interior color trends for the upcoming year!
Natural Greens:
Earthy tones are making a comeback in 2021, especially greens. With a wide range of color options to choose from, it’s no wonder why green made the list! Natural greens vary in intensity, allowing for a conservative look with a subtle color or opting for a richer tone.
Adding natural tones to your home may also help bring some calm to your life and encourage personal growth. Feeling in tune with nature is exactly what everyone needs after a chaotic 2020!
Timeless Blues:
If you’re open to something a little bolder, why not incorporate a timeless blue into your space? While classic blue may have been the color of 2020, it’s time to try out a new shade.
Blue tones are versatile in that they can be used for a contemporary look, as well as a more subdued and soothing environment, depending on your choice. They will continue to feel familiar while adding to your space without distracting from other design elements. Dip your toes in the water with Benjamin Moore’s Aegean Teal! It’s the perfect blend of blue-green and gray that will leave you wondering why you hadn’t added it to your space sooner!
Gray With a Twist:
The Pantone Color Institute has announced the color of the year for 2021 but this year is a little different. Instead of one color, two have been chosen – “Ultimate Gray” and “illuminating”, which is a bright yellow.
Everyone loves a good neutral gray. Anything goes alongside gray and it’s easy to spice up a space with a little hit of color. That’s where yellow slides in! Yellow provides the positivity we all need going into the new year. If a full wall of yellow is too much color for your liking, try incorporating the color into your space with accent pillows, curtains and more.
Rosy Peach:
If you’re hoping to add some pink to your space, try a warmer hue like Benjamin Moore’s Rosy Peach. The color is bold and striking yet softens a room and adds much-needed warmth! It works well in combination with other neutrals and warm shades to make you feel right at home.
Deep Mauves:
Feel a sense of richness mixed with tranquility with Benjamin Moore’s Amazon Soil. This color is on the rise and pairs nicely with monochromatic colors such as Graham & Brown’s Epoch, which is a lush plum tone.
These colors are bold, which may be exactly what you need this coming year. Take a risk and you may be pleasantly surprised!
