As you celebrate the holidays with your family and friends in your house, you look around and realize that your home has had the same, outdated look for a while now. Well, within just a few short weeks, it’ll be a new year—a new decade—and it is the ideal time to give your house a makeover with new paint. You scour home design magazines and stare at the wall of paint chips looking for that perfect shade to achieve the look you want, but you are struggling to pick your paint colors before you hire a painting company. In this blog post, you’ll learn about four paint color trends that you should look for in 2020 to give you some ideas for your own home.
Bold, Warm Earth Tones
In the coming year, bold earth shades of orange, yellow, warm pink, and taupe are expected to be particularly popular in restaurants and hotels. In houses, these colors would make a perfect choice for spaces intended for entertaining guests, such as the dining room or guest bedrooms. Their warmth is inviting without being overwhelming, distracting, or ostentatious.
Natural Greens and Blues
Studies have shown that greens and blues tend to promote relaxation and restorative energy, making them great options for bedrooms and the living room. After all, your bedroom should be a place where you’re able to release daily stress. Choosing shades of these colors that remind you of earth and sky can be especially calming and peaceful, so make sure that you consider these natural tones.
Traditional, Modern Neutrals
Subtle, traditional neutrals will likely always be in style, but look for shades that combine pastel colors with white, gray, and charcoal for a modern twist on an old favorite. These crowd-pleasing paint colors can provide the perfect backdrop in multifamily spaces, such as the living room or even the kitchen.
Personalization
In many cases, homeowners want to make a statement and put their personal stamp on their homes. From dark navy shades to bold blue or purple to mint green, many designers and homeowners are excited to create spaces that expresses true personality and flair. Some color choices seem to be generational, with older people mostly sticking to neutrals and younger folk requesting more vibrant colors.
Although the 2020 painting trends mentioned in this blog post may be popular this coming year, it doesn’t mean that you have to follow suit. Ultimately, you need to choose paint colors that appeal to you and your family and create the atmosphere you want for your home. If you prefer bright earth tones, then go for it! The end goal is for you and your guests to enjoy each other’s company in an environment that is conducive to comfortable and happy feelings.
