As spring rolls in, many homeowners look for opportunities to revamp their living space. Changing up your home’s interior color palette is one of the best ways to breathe new life into your home design. Several leading paint brands have released their “colors of the year” for 2024, and we’re seeing some exciting trends. Whether you’re into Peach Fuzz by Pantone, Benjamin Moore’s Blue Nova, or tones that are more earthy, there’s something for everyone. Read on to learn more about the paint color trends for 2024.
Pantone Color of the Year: Peach Fuzz
Pantone releases its color trend forecast each year to reflect global lifestyle trends and patterns. This year, Peach Fuzz, a delicate peach pastel, will inspire consumer goods across interior design, graphic design, products, fashion, and more. According to Pantone, the color “resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.”
Peach Fuzz is more versatile than you might expect. For those who prefer neutrals, it blends well with cool beige tones as well as eggplant, mauve, and burgundy palettes. More adventurous color lovers might pair it with vivid pink, warm blue, mustard yellow, and even chartreuse.
Plush Blush
The Barbiecore craze is over, but don’t count out pink when you’re looking for a new neutral this season. Dulux has chosen the soft blush, Sweet Embrace, as their color of the year. Sweet Embrace is a barely pink shade that’s perfect for walls, trim, furniture, and more. The color is subtle and an excellent alternative to the overused greige, a staple of so many looks.
Plush Blush can be paired well with muted oranges, beige, gray and pink tones to better accentuate your space.
Bold Neutral
Want to stay with a neutral palette but introduce a little drama into your designs? You should consider Behr’s color of the year, Cracked Pepper. This versatile, soft black can be used in entire rooms or as an accent wall depending on the statement you’re looking to make. Cracked Pepper is the perfect way to spice up a neutral palette.
If you want another option that provides depth to a room, Dutch Boy’s Ironside is a deep multidimensional green that is garnering a lot of attention in the interior design space.
Balanced Blues
Benjamin Moore has chosen Blue Nova for their 2024 color of the year. This isn’t just your everyday blue, it has a light purple tone that offers a beautiful complement to most neutral color schemes. If you want to elevate your interior’s look, try using Blue Nova as an accent color throughout your rooms.
For a more muted blue, Sherwin-Williams has chosen Upward as their 2024 color. It’s a lighter, more traditional blue shade that encourages homeowners to relax and unwind in their space – perfect for a bedroom or living room!
Using Your Hue
Each company we’ve highlighted provides more insight into each color, including images of it used in various ways in diverse settings. Some offer a selection of complementary colors and palette suggestions to help with your design ideas.
Although many of the companies are paint companies, these colors can be used to enhance your home in more ways beyond a room’s paint color. Draw inspiration from them with small touches such as throw pillows, vases, flowers, or picture frames. Explore flooring options — especially with deeper colors. Or add a backsplash to your kitchen in a new beautiful pigment.
