We all know that color has a direct impact on our mood. There may never have been a time in recent history that a shift in mood was more needed than the transition from 2020 to 2021. As the pandemic rages on and many of us find ourselves isolated and staying home, brightening our lives with color in our homes may be more important than ever. We are so excited about the 2021 paint color trends we see coming. Shifting from the monochromatic grey schemes of the last 5 years, we are starting to see warmer, brighter colors with a touch of the eclectic.
2021 Colors and Palettes
Benjamin Moore’s 2021 Color of the Year is Aegean Teal 2136-40.
This calming, harmonious blue hue works perfectly with any color in their 2021 Color Trends Palette seen below:
The twelve hues in this palette radiate warmth and wellbeing. The great part about a palette like this is all colors work well with the others. You can pick any hue and rest easy that the Benjamin Moore design and decorating experts have already paved the way to your color success.
Sherwin-Williams introduced their 2021 Color of the year, Urbane Bronze, as a simple and sophisticated way to capture down-to-earth tranquility.
The bold depth of this hue will contrast nicely with lighter colors on opposite or adjoining walls.
2021 Paint Color Trends
Yet another trend we are seeing in the paint world is the use of multiple color splashes in a room rather than the traditional “accent wall.”
Adding interest to a space is easy with color! The traditional way of painting everything the same color is outdated and monotonous. A designer or professional painter can give you ideas about where to add a splash of color to break up your spaces.
Adding darker colors at the end of a longer space creates depth and draws the eye through the space. Additionally, the use of stripes in contrasting colors can add dimension and intrigue to an otherwise bland space.
Don’t be afraid to break trends and be the first on your block to see through the grey and try out a blush, lavender, or sage in your living room. A color consultation with a designer or professional painter might just give you the courage to refresh your home with a whole new color palette.
