4 Paint Color Combos to Ring in the New Year

Spending more time at home this year has made a great impact on the way homeowners have upgraded their living spaces. When it comes to color, the theme has included paint colors to help us relax, recharge, and feel comfortable.  With more people working from home, there is also a surge of brighter colors as well to energize and add cheerfulness to our homes.

Mood-Inducing Color Combos

Color can be used to evoke different moods, tell a story within a home, or change the way someone feels in a space. Deciding on the color palette for a room can be fairly tricky. Before you begin choosing paint colors, furniture, or decor, it’s important to understand which colors work best together and why.

1. Trio of Earthy Neutrals

Beige, blue, and ginger will make any room feel comfortable and welcoming. These colors have a mix of warm colors, beige and ginger, paired with the cool color of blue.  Combining these colors will be pleasing to the eye. The shades complement one another. To add to the decor, a few green plants along with natural wood furnishings complete the space.

2. A Monochrome Palette

You can use the same color in a room, but in different variations. It gives the space a sophisticated look and is easy to make work in any room.  Choose colors with the same hue, but with a different tone.  Different shades of blues, like a pale blue and a navy will work well.

3. Shades of Purple

Purple represents peace and creativity, which works well in a home office. You can also go with lilac or a deeper purple. The color purple pairs well with many colors such as:

  • Orange: An energizing orange color goes well with lavender to create the perfect balance.
  • Rose: This soft pink combined with purple creates a sophisticated backdrop.
  • Pastel Yellow: Gives your home a spring-like feel.
  • Charcoal goes well with a plum paint color along with gold accents.

4. Light Blue and Radiant Yellow

Two colors that represent brightness and happiness will only create good vibes around you.  This color combination creates an energetic mood throughout your home. It also will make any room feel bigger.

  • Pockets underneath the paint that create bubbles
  • Fading or uneven coloring on the interior or exterior walls

  • Preparing your walls, ceilings, and other surfaces are critical to a high-quality finish. This step ensures that your new paint job lasts for years to come. Part of preparing the room to be painted includes cleaning your walls before the project begins.
