It’s not hard to notice the different paint color trends of this year, and every year for that matter. They’re in our homes, at work, in shopping malls, retail stores, restaurants and many other places. We’ve combined information from two reputable sources, HGTV and This Old House, to keep you posted on the paint color trends that people are following in 2016.
According to HGTV, white, light and dark gray, clean green, a warm orange, and lime green are among this year’s top paint trends.
Although very different, each of these colors leans toward the same trend: Improving your happiness and comfort at home. For example, white colored walls make any space relaxing and give off a clean look. On the other end of the spectrum, lime green walls help to boost your energy levels, while also creating a tropical feeling. Paint color trends are about more than just the actual color itself; they’re about improving the mood of each room, and emphasizing how the homeowner wants to feel at home.
This Old House, an online magazine covering topics of home remodels, upgrades and improvements, lists the following as the top paint trends of 2016 according to paint companies:
- Sherwin-Williams’s Alabaster (SW 7008): A clean, warm white.
