If you’re anything like me, you’re probably regularly imagining the next room makeover you’re going to do in your home -- and sometimes all you need to make a space feel fresh is a brand-new paint job.
It all starts with choosing the perfect paint. Only thing is, with so many colors and finishes to choose from, that decision can get intimidating.
You want a look that isn’t going to go out of style in half a second. I get it. So I talked to the pros -- interior designers who shared the hottest wall colors and finishes their clients are requesting. These hues will make your walls feel fashion forward.
But first, a word of warning: “While a homeowner can get wrapped up in trends, remember to create a space that works for your whole family and honors the integrity of your home,” says Jessica Davis, principal interior designer at JL Design Nashville.
In other words, you’re going to have to take in all of these trends, think about how they’d look in your space, and consider which best reflects your family’s personalities. Then pick one and get painting!
Think you have to go plain white on the ceiling? Not so. Color's coming to the tippy-top of the room, say the pros.
"Think about the ceiling -- it is a huge flat expanse and should be considered when making design decisions," says Marika Meyer of Marika Meyer Interiors. She recently added a pop of hot pink to the ceiling of a wallpapered kid's room.
The darker grays that have been hugely popular in recent years are getting a bit lighter, says Salimpour. "'Shadow white' is darker than white and lighter than gray," she explains. "This understated and versatile color is perfect for mixing with jewel tones."
