Color Trends of 2024 and How to Use Them to Transform your Home

“That also brings me to a point where I have seen a shift in my clientele giving themself permission to not ‘appeal to the buyer’ and live in the moment of their home for themselves by, picking a color for their authentic self and not the future buyer.”

As the year 2024 approaches, various industries are already preparing themselves for the new color trends for the coming year. Sherwin Williams is one of my favorites that lead the way in predicting the popular paint colors we will be seeing. This forecast is crucial for fashion, interior design, and many other industries. As you can imagine color is applied to so many different everyday products. In this blog post, we will have an in-depth look at Sherwin Williams 2024 color trend, understand the inspiration behind these colors, and learn how to use them to bring character and beauty to our homes.

Sherwin Williams’ 2024 color trend is inspired by the Earth, art, and anthropology, and has an unique combination of modern and eclectic colors. These colors are intended to bring a sense of balance, calmness, and positivity to your homes. Sherwin Williams experts have predicted that the color trend for 2024 includes Blues & Greens, Red & Purples, Deeps & Darks and Delicate Tints.

The Deeps & Darks are warm earthy tones reflect the natural surroundings. They range from mossy golds to rich clay oranges, grays with green undertones, and navy. These all remind me of Arizona’s scape of the sand, rocks, and desert setting sky. I have seen the darker grays and blacks, blues and greens used most commonly and fearlessly selected in furniture and cabinetry. With the oranges, golds and browns I have seen more commonly in cushions, pillows or wallpaper. For the not so daring you can also consider easily removed pillow cases or blanket throws that can be rotated as an accent color.

Blues & Greens. You will find that these colors all can be found naturally. From the vast colors of the ocean, sky and lush greens from the jungle. Yet some of these tones come off eccentric yet feel like they have always been hidden in plain site. The deep moody greens represent a refreshing take on natural tones, like a mossy foggy green, billiard green, honeydew, and deep vouge greens. I have been seeing some jungle pattern themes emerging with large leafy motifs, birds of paradise or even exotic creatures. I don’t think animal print will ever go away but is still present in more neutral ways. Most of these patterns are seen in wallpapers and fabrics. These colors are perfect for adding depth and drama to any room, and are best used in conjunction with neutral tones for balance. Ways that I have incorporated greens into clients homes this year was with fabric(upholstery), rugs and cabinetry/wainscoting millwork.

Not to forget the blues, the color of the year is a light blue. It is breezy calming and could definitively take command of entire room with out feeling overwhelming. I think its popularity has risen due to the fact that it pairs so well with the last years and this years trending colors. More so like a buffer in-between the transitions of what’s to come. For example navy, forest green, honeydew green and any sort of greige paired together would all play nice together.

Next on the list are reds and purples. Honestly this palette gives me maximalism design vibes. They are all very warm and understated colored neutrals paired with hues that are very saturated. There are several moody reds like crimson but play well with colors like clay. Salmons and lilacs mixed with dragon fruit. It kind sound like my childhood wardrobe when I say it out loud. Some of the hues do seem muted yet expressive which allows for individuals to feel like they are expressing themself without playing it safe. That also brings me to a point where I have seen a shift in my clientele giving themself permission to not ‘appeal to the buyer’ and live in the moment of their home for themselves by, picking a color for their authentic self and not the future buyer. The use of this palette is all over the board this year for use. I have used it in wall colors, fabric (upholstery and drapery) but, I would say is most commonly selected from a rug option.

Delicate Tints. These have all been around for quite some time and I have used just about everyone for a main wall color in homes or rooms. They are sophisticated, elevated and invite deeper thought to other aspects of the design in the space. Each color would also be best suited for a minimalistic design style or as paired sets for a sure fire trim and wall color combo.

Color trends are a great way to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to home décor and design. Whether you choose the warm earthy tones, deep moody greens, soft pastels, or dramatic blues grounded in neutrality, they will all work together to create a beautiful, cohesive space in your home. So why not give your home a refreshing and modern look? What color are you going to try this year?

Remember Upgrading your space is the ultimate form of self care.
