Is it time to update the appearance of your home? If you want to give it a contemporary look, then you’re in luck because we are bringing you the house paint colour trends for 2021.
Making it to the list last year were pastel colours like blush. For those who love these soft hues, you’d be happy to know that they are expected to remain in style this year.
Aside from pastels, designers and colour forecasters predict that 2021 will be about hues that enable people to reconnect with places and things that matter to them. Following a tumultuous 2020, experts expect that calming shades will become a favourite this year.
So, what paint colours will be painted on the walls of residential homes in 2021? We’ve compiled a list below. You can use this as a guide when deciding on your home’s new colour scheme.
Grey and Yellow Paint Colours
Several years ago, grey was a favourite amongst home interior decorators. It was widely used that designers dubbed it as the ‘new beige’. Last year, reports noted that its popularity was declining.
But with Pantone naming Ultimate Grey as its colour of the year, experts anticipate that there will be a renewed interest in this colour along with bright yellow. As you already probably know, Pantone’s other colour of the year is called Illuminating – buttercup yellow.
Hence, for this year, you can expect home interiors to sport a grey and yellow colour scheme. Combining these hues, you would achieve a space that exudes subdued elegance but with a cheerful and mood-boosting vibe.
Soft Neutral Paint Colours
Just like the past years, a number of neutrals made it to the list of colour forecasters. This is not surprising as these hues never go out of style. Plus, you can repeatedly change the look of your house without repainting the walls. All you need to do is to add pops of colour or bold patterns.
For this year, the list includes warm neutrals that make people feel grounded just like Brave Ground, Dulux colour of the year. This earthy shade of beige allows rooms to achieve a boosting and balancing ambience. Exuding warmth, this neutral lets other colours shine which makes it versatile.
Muted Paint Colours
In 2020, we saw several vibrant hues take the limelight. While interest in these colours is not fading this year, experts predict that there will be more interest in soft, muted hues.
With homes turning into offices as a result of the pandemic, people need a space where they can achieve balance. They need a place that is energising but not overly vibrant, one that encourages mindfulness.
For example, Aegean Teal, Benjamin Moore’s colour of the year, gives a space a subtle pop of colour – the kind that inspires creativity or productivity and calms the mind.
Nature-Inspired Paint Colours
As people are still expected to spend more time indoors due to the pandemic, the longing for the outdoors will persist. To satisfy this desire, we’d be seeing design concepts that bring the outside in. This includes using rich earth tones on interior walls like greens, browns and blues, to name but a few.
For Sherwin Williams, their colour of the year is called Urbane Bronze which when paired with stone creates a sophisticated look.
Meanwhile, PPG’s Misty Aqua conjures images of the sea and sky. It can make a room exude elegance and serenity, especially when it is paired with cooler greys and whites.
The list undeniably features a wide range of colours. But while these hues may be from different ends of the spectrum, they were selected because of their ability to create homey spaces. They make it possible for people to stay balanced, connected and calm in the midst of uncertainties.
