Can you believe that the holiday season is almost here? Before you know it, 2021 will be in the rearview mirror, and the new year will bring new challenges and new trends. When it comes to interior paint for homes, there’s one color that is definitely going to make a splash in 2022—green! It’s showing up everywhere as paint brands’ color of the year, including Sherwin-Williams, Glidden, Farrow & Ball, and more. Here’s the inside scoop on what you can expect to see trending this upcoming year for interior paint colors.
Why Green?
In 2022, don’t be surprised to see many more homes with green because of its versatile palette. From bold evergreen and avocado shades to more muted olive green or green-gray, there’s a shade suitable for every taste, any room, and any mood.
Refreshing Color
You don’t have to choose a vibrant yellow or red hue to add life to your home. While these brighter colors can feel vivacious and energetic, they can also evoke a feeling of anxiety or stress, which is the last thing anyone needs right now. Instead, an avocado green helps you add zest to a kitchen without negatively affecting your mood. It’s worth noting that it’s not just designers who are raving about green. Homeowners seem to be gravitating toward this color too; in fact, online searches for green kitchen cabinets have increased over 800 percent recently! Obviously, people are looking for a simple way to breathe new life into their spaces.
For this same reason, shades of white and pale, earthy blues are likely to be popular this year as well. These colors are clean and refreshing and can be used in basically any room in the house. Stone blue or blue-green tones also can have a calming effect, which is especially beneficial in bedrooms.
Bringing Nature Inside
Now that people aren’t trapped inside full time anymore, they have realized how much they’ve missed the beauty of nature. Green is the epitome of natural color, so it makes sense that so many homeowners are interested in changing their color schemes to include and highlight it.
Nostalgia for Simpler Times
After the last couple of years, many people are pining for calmness through the use of nostalgic hues like pale mint green and soothing blue-gray. However, certain shades of green from the past can still feel bright and lively, helping you make a fresh start and have some fun with your living spaces.
Ultimately, we have a few months before 2022 paint trends be coming out in full force, but knowing what other people are liking can help you create a comfortable environment for you and your guests.
