One year ago this month, the world was put under lockdown and told to stay at home to slow the spread of a deadly virus. Even though things aren’t completely “back to normal” in 2021 so far, it’s a great time to have a fresh start in the place where you spend most of your time. You deserve to look forward to being at home, so here are some interior paint trends to watch out for as you revitalize your interior spaces.
Calming Down with Blue
Chances are you’ve experienced quite a bit of stress this past year. Between the risk of getting sick, financial concerns, and having to adapt to everything going virtual, everyone is going a little crazy! With the pandemic and everything else going on out in the world, you need a relaxing retreat. Although cool tones of green can also be calming, hues of blue can help you unwind and feel at peace as soon as you walk through the door.
Bringing Nature Inside
After being stuck indoors for almost a year, you’re likely desperate to get out in nature. The good news is that paint and design trends are creating natural spaces inside the house. Earthy brown shades are predicted to be especially popular this year, but greens can help you feel like you’re one with the great outdoors, even if you still have to stay at home.
Going Bold
What if you don’t want to go for an earthy, natural look? You have plenty of other paint colors to choose from that can make your home feel like a masterpiece. Aubergine, or a deep and moody purple, can liven up your spaces and make a sophisticated statement. Are you feeling some wanderlust after being quarantined at home for so long? Saffron is a luxurious color that can bring the world to you. Almost all shades of yellow, even cheerful and bright ones, are other colors that are also growing in popularity in 2021.
Sticking to the Classics
When it comes to home design, white and other light neutrals will always be in style. They complement practically everything and can easily be adapted to accommodate your décor, even as it evolves over the years. In fact, choosing a neutral color for the walls enables you to have bold pops of color in your accent pieces.
Although there’s a light at the end of the quarantine tunnel, you still need to enjoy having a space to call your own. Your home should be a places you want to spend your time. Hopefully these color suggestions can help you create this kind of environment inside.
