That’s a colorful and bold statement for sure.

Popular Colors and Finishes For Transforming Your Spaces Trending Now

If you are a fan of colors on the more neutral side, not to worry. They can make a statement too. And they aren’t going away. Everyone’s preference is unique and the popular color schemes today go from muted, tranquil and calming to vivid, vibrant and lively. But don’t expect to see grey, grey, grey everywhere that isn’t painted white. No sir. Now is the time to consider these color palettes.

1. Green

Many designers refer to green as the “new neutral” and the muted-yet-fresh greens are showing up in spaces previously painted white, dove grey and creamy beige. These greens are transforming your spaces in big ways too. Deep emerald green cabinets stand out in your kitchen, especially when paired with gold finishes in hardware. Sage is the rage in bedroom colors these days. This soft green adds a nature vibe to any indoor space. 

2. Yellows

Sunny yellows elevate any room, automatically transforming your spaces with an injection of warmth and comfort. Rich saffrons, marigolds and papaya add to the visual interest of your foyer, family room, formal living area or bedroom. Buttercup yellow looks quite lovely in the powder room.

3. Reds

Yes, you read that right! Reds, though softer and more subdued than the oft-too-bold Scarlett, lend a surprisingly earthy quality, transforming your spaces into an unexpected type of neutral. Think cedar, dusty cranberry and redwood and imagine the color scheme of a kitchen with natural wood cabinets and matte finished soapstone counters. Lovely.

4. Blues

These subtle blues are not your grandmothers blues. An icy blue bathroom color palette evokes a surprisingly open feeling in an otherwise confined powder room. In fact, pale and light blue bathroom colors capes are popular among Quad Cities homebuyers today.

Deeper blues are capable of transforming your spaces in more ways than you can imagine. Blues on the richer end of the spectrum provide an elegance. Some of the deeper blues can be moody depending on the space but blue can always be counted on to elicit a sense of comfort. 

5. Warm Neutrals

Gone are the cool-based whites and grey with blue undertones. Enter the era of the warm neutral. These yellow-based toasty colors warm up a room to the point of cozy and provide a sense of peace. Consider a warm neutral in your family room or bedroom. Nurseries are the ideal place for these cozy colors and warm neutral baby rooms are fast becoming the trend.

Feeling Adventurous?

If you really want to start transforming your spaces next level consider going bold with formerly-white trim. Stay in the color family of the walls and go with contrasting finishes for a cohesive look that’s not too choppy. And remember; if you don’t really like it a few years down the road (or at any point, really) you can change the colors for a meager investment in paint.
