Did you know that 90% of shoppers make a snap judgment about a product based on color alone? That’s how powerful colors can be.
The same power comes into play when thinking about your home. In fact, you can boost your home’s value just by painting it a certain color.
Whether you’re looking to sell or just want an upgrade, it’s important to know which colors are in this year. Check out these 2019 paint color trends and get inspired!
Muted Colors
Let’s start with a big trend in interior design: muted colors. These are your usual colors but taken down a notch. They’re subtle, soft, and allow more of your room’s personality to show through. You can focus on your furniture and other accent pieces or embrace minimalism.
Let’s look at some of the tones that define this trend.
Misty Green
Like a soft haze hanging over the ocean, this color is vibrant in its own quiet way. It’s a little more fun than grey, beige, or white, but functions as a neutral.
This shade makes bold art pieces pop or gives your room a relaxed vibe.
Blushing Pink
Once banished to little girl’s bedrooms, this color has grown up a lot. Blush warms up a room, making it glow from within.
Blush is Millennial pink but with a great paying job and a rosy outlook on life.
Earth Tones
Up next, we bring the outside world into our homes. Nature is the underlying inspiration for these rich, bold hues.
Imagine yourself in a forest. Take the colors you find along the path and find a place for them in your home.
Mustard Yellow
This old standard makes a comeback in a big way. It’s not a boring brown or a dull dark green but a rustic shade that adds an earthy boldness to your home.
Mustard can be challenging as a neutral, but who doesn’t love a challenge? Try adding teal or red accents to bring energy to your home.
Terracotta Clay
This color is dark and rich, skirting the line between brown and brick-red. Your home will feel comfy, cozy, and warm.
Pair this perfectly with creams and golds to really light up a room.
Forest Feelings
Remember we said to imagine walking through the woods? You won’t have to strain your imagination too hard if you paint your walls with warm wood colors.
Pine, birch, maple, or ash are all great places to start. These are your new neutrals, better than cream or off-white.
Jewel Tones
Your home is your castle. You should take inspiration from royalty and look to the crown jewels to make your house sparkle.
Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and more, they’re all represented well in the 2019 color forecast. These bold colors only favor the brave; try them in a small spot before going big.
Deep Violet
Like sinking into a velvet throne, a dark but sophisticated purple is comfortable yet regal. This color is intense which means it plays well with both strong and soft colors.
Intense Aqua
Make any room in your home an oasis with a rich, deep blue color. Your many options include teal, robin’s egg, or sapphire.
This color can be both playful or thoughtful. Plan how you want to use it and experiment.
Coral Accents
Coral is a favorite newcomer in colors for 2019. This cheeky hue caught between orange and pink livens up any space you place it in.
Don’t feel an entire coral room would work for your home? Try adding just a few accents around the room and see how it plays up your other colors.
New Neon’s
As you can see, 2019 colors are growing bolder and bolder. In our digital world, the futuristic neon shades have taken our imaginations by storm.
These colors work well as an accent, like a doorway. We won’t hold you back from painting your entire home in these bright shades though!
Citrus Greens
This color is intense in all the right ways. It will lift you up and make you feel inspired. Consider painting your bathroom this color. That way, you’ll be energized first thing in the morning.
Loud Lilac
Purple is always a fashionable choice. When brightened up, it mimics the neon glow of our modern technology.
Paint a main wall this color and watch how your room comes alive. Make an active area, like a stairwell or foyer, more energetic with lilac on the walls.
Outrageous Orange
Coral can’t hog the spotlight, orange is having its own moment, too.
Freshen up any area with a jolt of bright orange. Playrooms or basements are great for this vibrant color, or even paint an entire outside doorway to bring the energy inside.
Mixing it Up
Now that you’ve seen the best 2019 colors, you’re ready for advanced studies. Learning how to combine these colors effectively will take your home to the next level.
Start out with an easy combination. Mist and citrus are both in the green family and pair well together.
Mustard accents come together with jewel tones, especially sapphires and deep blues. They’re on opposite ends of the color wheel and complement each other, although each has a strong personality.
Take the deep greens from your forest inspiration and contrast it with a soft pink blush. They’re high-contrast and bring a wild, almost exotic vibe to your space.
Take your earth tones, like the wood colors, and pair it with a bright purple. This is another combination that plays up the intensity of one shade over another.
