Sam Lutz • Jan 30, 2018
Overall, the forecast for 2018 is bright with promise, cool neutrals, muted tones and the occasional hot pops of color to liven things up a bit. Here’s a quick look at the hottest new trends for the home for spring 2018:
Black and Gray Neutrals Remain
Black is back and here to stay. From true blacks to cool charcoals and warm Deep Onyx, black is remaining a powerful color choice, including fun tones with a touch of purple, like Black Flame. Followed by virtually every gray from pewter to silver, including cool medium Delray Gray and warm medium Soho Loft these neutrals form an elegant backdrop for your home decor.
Neutral Beige Warms it Up
But don’t count the brown tones out! Neutral beige tones are popular this year, giving you some options for warming up your home’s interior without committing to a specific palette. Driftscape Tan leans heavily towards the pink, while Broken Arrow lends a warm mocha to beautiful beiges.
Muted Tones
Many of this year’s tones are remaining muted, contributing to a quiet, peaceful environment for your home. Boca Raton Blue hangs out in the background, as does Fort Pierce Green, giving you a piece of the tropics. However, don’t count these colors out either. Paired correctly with bold brights, they’ll work hard to make your home’s interior pop.
Bold Brights
With all these neutral and muted tones, it’s easy to assume that this year’s palette will be sedate and quiet. Not so! Yellow Finch and Showtime are some amazingly bright, clear yellow tones that work perfectly as a single accent color, or paired with some of this year’s berry tones and vivid blues like bold, bright Mosaic or deep, rich Starry Night Blue.
Rich Berries
This year, it’s all about bountiful, beautiful berries. Today’s reds are covering a wide range of berry tones, from Caponata’s deep burgundy to Caliente’s scarlet tones. Whether it’s making a statement wall pop or just adding some warmth to your home’s interior, these reds work hard to bring elegance and energy into your home.
Contrast Stays Strong
Another area that remains vibrant is the use of contrast in your home’s interior. Trim and casings should pop out visually from the walls they’re framing, but without clashing.
By knowing what colors will be hot this year, and which ones seem to be here to stay, you can make better color choices, ensuring that it will be up to date with today’s fashions while staying true to tomorrow’s trends. Try out a few of these new colors and see where your design muse takes you today!
