Home Decor Color Trends
Warm tones, comfort, and bold hues are here.
People are craving travel, which is why you’re seeing a lot of light washed finishes and muted toned walls. People are shifting away from bright white walls and transitioning into warmer terracotta, sage green, and muted marigold hues.
gray paint shades are no longer in style
Before the pandemic people were still very much into lighter tones and whites, we’re seeing a lot of people shift to using more color and making bold statements in their space. After spending so much time in their spaces over the last year. People are looking to liven things up and add some brightness, mood, and fun to their homes.
“people want to feel joy after being locked down due to the pandemic. That’s part of why the maximalist trend has been gaining ground.”
Earthy hues, jewel tones, and creamy, rich textures will reign supreme well into 2022.
gray paint shades are no longer in style—that’s pretty definitive if you ask me! “we’re setting aside cool grays and replacing them with creamier neutrals.” Think paints with yellow and pink undertones instead of blue and green hues.
Creamy and warm whites being prioritized over stark whites and believes it’s a response to how people are feeling today and what they want in their homes. Yes, we will always need a few white walls to tie a home together, but blindingly white walls are no longer going to be the go-to for an entire house. It’s all about adding a touch of softness, even to the brightest whites.
It’s about comfort and warmth that makes the home feel like a respite from the world.

Bold hues and warm tones were definitely the things I liked reading the most from this article. Having a new paint scheme always excites me as it allows us to try a new look that we haven’t attempted before, and this is one scheme I was interested in for a long while. I’ll ask an interior painting expert to help us out with this for sure.
I really liked the segment of your article that talked about how grey paint is trending out of style. I’ve never been a fan of using a color like that in anything I do, so it’s great to know people are finding bolder colors trendier next year. I’ll definitely try to branch out and use more of these colors that you talked about when I hire a painting expert in the area.
I love the bold color look to! I’d love to see what you come up with in your home
