Are you planning to paint your house this year? Wondering what colours to use for your home? Why not take inspiration from the house paint colour trends for 2020?
Below we talk about the different hues that are going to be more visible for this year in the interior design scene. Read on to find out which colours you can use to transform the appearance of your home.
Classic Blue
Pantone named Classic Blue as its 2020 Colour of the Year. This dark and dreamy hue evokes serenity like the night sky. At the same time, it has that confident and dependable vibe that can make one feel comfortable and safe.
You can use it on the living room or bedroom walls to give the space a bold yet relaxing ambience. You can use it on all the walls and throw in some brass accents to achieve an elegant and a dramatic look. Alternatively, you can paint it on your accent wall and pair it with white or grey for a more contemporary vibe.
Admittedly, compared to the lighter derivatives, this shade can be a bit intimidating to use. But here’s the thing, this blue is timeless. It’s a colour that easily appeals to anyone.
Cool Neutrals
According to survey, neutral tones, specifically the cool ones, are going to dominate interior walls. These include taupe and white. If you intend to sell your house, painting your living room walls with taupe is an excellent idea. This particular colour-room combination appeals to homebuyers and can significantly increase the value of the house.
Grey, the most popular neutral colour in the past years, is also included in this list. However, reports indicate that preference for this colour, once dubbed as the “new neutral”, is declining.
What does this mean?
You’d still see this hue in home interior designs but not as widespread as before. Should you still use it? If you like it, use it by all means! Grey has become as versatile as white and taupe. These three colours work well in any area of the house.
Jewel Tones
Over the years, we’ve seen more and more jewel tones being incorporated into home interior design, especially when it comes to accents. This year, they would be more visible as decorators pick paint of these colours.
“What are jewel tones,” you may ask. These are hues which resemble gemstones such as ruby, sapphire, emerald and amethyst, amongst others.
Colour forecasters say that 2020 is going to be about jewel tones which have invigorating and calming effects.
For example, PPG’s Colour of the Year is called Chinese Porcelain. This rich jewel tone is a warmer shade of blue. Just like Classic Blue, this hue can make a space feel relaxing which is why it’s ideal for bedrooms. You can also paint exterior and interior doors with this shade to give them a playful yet classy look.
Pastel Colours
Soothing pastels are also going to be big this year. Lighter shades of blue, green and pink fall under this category. Easy on the eyes, these hues are recommended for those who want their homes to have a splash of colour that isn’t too overpowering.
In the past years, blush has been a favourite amongst decorators. When paired with accents in warmer jewel tones, blush walls can make a room exude a modern and chic vibe.
For a monochromatic design, these soothing hues can act as neutrals – the perfect alternatives to the widely used shades like white and beige. They can also be painted on cabinetries to give a space pops of colours.
