You do not need to engage in a full blown renovation project to improve your home’s appearance. Sometimes, repainting it is all you need to give your house a fresh and modern look. Before you embark on this project, learn about what experts say are the trendy palettes for 2017.
Poised Taupe
A marriage of cool grey and earthen brown, warm and cool, Poised Taupe aspires to be the new neutral. Sherwin-Williams’ colour of the year exudes both modern and classic feel. It also complements different home styles. If you are looking to give your space a vintage vibe, pair it with colours like Alchemy, Brandywine and/or Sheratone Sage.
Peignoir
Farrow & Ball’s Peignoir is hazy or dusty pink with a dose of grey. This muted pastel has a romantic feel to it making it an ideal colour for bedrooms. Use it with All White to achieve a contemporary and crisp vibe.
Shadow
Sophisticated, dramatic and enigmatic are just some the descriptions associated with Benjamin Moore’s colour of the year, Shadow. This rich, deep amethyst hue is versatile enough that you can use it not just on your walls but also on your ceilings and furniture. Use it to give your room an intimate ambience. If you wish to make a statement, pair it with orange. Meanwhile, if you want a sophisticated feel, combine it with warmer metals like gold and copper.
Cloudberry
For Olympic, their choice for 2017 is this soft, violet hue named Cloudberry. This colour has a calming effect, thereby lessening stress and promoting focus and meditation. Hence, it is ideal for spaces, like the bedroom or the bath area, where you want to retreat after a long day’s work.
Crushed Oregano
Are you a fan of the design trend “bringing the outdoors inside”? Are you an advocate of the “green” lifestyle? If you are, then this leafy hue from Valspar is perfect for you. The inspiration behind this colour is sustainable living and the zero waste movement. Crushed Oregano, a balanced yellow green, is best paired with bright white furniture.
Byzantine Blue
Glidden’s pick for 2017 is a serene hue which is actually a combination of violet, blue and grey. Pair it with white to achieve a more blue-grey feel. Meanwhile, it exudes a greyer feel when combined with dark neutrals. What’s great about Byzantine Blue is that it is very versatile which means you can use it in practically any room.
Honey Glow
If you want to make a bold statement or give your space a pop of colour, try Honey Glow. This warm, golden yellow with orange undertones conveys feelings of curiosity and cheerfulness. Make your room vibrant and let it ooze with energy with Honey Glow.
Wrightsford
Do you display art pieces in your home? If you do, try using Cloverdale’s Wrightsford. This deep, dusty chocolate brown colour with grey undertones is perfect for walls featuring art works.
Stone White
Hoping to make a room in your house look brighter? Farrow & Ball’s Stone White can help you achieve that. Use it in rooms with limited windows to give them a light and an airy feel. If it’s sophistication you fancy, then apply it on your living room wall, ceiling and trim. You’d be amazed with the result – an elegant and an immaculate living room.
