When renovating properties, the house-painting aspect can be daunting due to the enormous range of colours available. While some renovators will happily go with traditional or very basic colour schemes, it’s always worth investigating the latest trends because there is more to them than just changing fashions.
Take the 2021 “hot list”, for example. Due to the effects of the pandemic on both work and leisure, people are spending much more time at home, and living lives that are increasingly dominated by technological devices. As if in reaction to that, this year’s trending colours are aiming to make our private environments feel natural and peaceful, while still giving us the energy to achieve what we need to achieve.
Below, we’ll go into detail about each of those three types of colours, but remember that they aren’t completely separate. There are multiple crossovers between them and they should definitely be combined for maximum effect.
If you’re not confident in selecting or mixing and matching colours, don’t worry – hiring professional painters to take care of the house-painting part of your renovation will mean you get the full benefit of their knowledge and experience concerning colour schemes and making the most of the latest trends.
Natural Colours
To balance the amount of time we are spending interacting with technology, 2021’s trendiest colours include tasteful plant greens, wood browns and stone greys. Lighter shades, but with a touch of warmth. These colours provide not only a feeling of being in nature, their subtlety and style also give a room a luxurious look. Examples: moss, olive and sage greens; clay browns and tans; warm greys.
Peaceful Colours
With all of the added stress in our lives these days due to the chaos caused by the pandemic, we need our abodes to evoke a sense of peacefulness more than ever before. In terms of house-painting hues, this equates to calming blues and greys, perhaps offset by a warmer earthy colour from the previous section. Think rainy winter skies and seascapes (but not wild storms!). Examples: Aegean Teal, classic greys.
Energetic Colours
While we want our homes to be comfortingly natural and peaceful, we also have to get our daily work done. To give us a lift, the third house-painting trend is using energetic colours. Now, obviously, we’re not talking shocking pink. These shades need to fit in with the aforementioned groups and, therefore, can’t be too bold. Tasteful red-browns and blue-greens, often paired with a soft white. Examples: maples and terracottas, Eucalyptus and other greens tending towards blue.
