Color Trends For your Home

Category: Real Estate News  |  Permalink

Published: Saturday, January 30, 2010

ometimes the biggest change you can make to the interior of your home is a can of paint away. Paint has the power to affect mood, atmosphere, even energy levels and selecting the right color and amount for a room can make a lasting impression that adds value to your home, not only for you, but for your visitors. Whether you are thinking of selling or leasing in Murrieta, San Diego, or Costa Mesa, “staging” your home with paint color will make it more attractive to potential buyers and make it stand out from your neighbors.

The year 2010 has its own paint color trends. This year, designers are forecasting a renewed love for bold, intense yellows, purples and greens for small spaces like the kitchen. For bedrooms, neutrals like light blues, grays, and even soft lavenders help to create soothing atmospheres. Living rooms are reflecting nature moods, “perhaps reflecting our new awareness of the planet and environment,” according to Debbie Zimmer, paint and color expert with the Paint Quality Institute, who also contributes the following:

“Trendy interior paint colors are leaning towards the more relaxing and soothing shades.  We are seeing paint colors from light, pale pink to yellow on one hand and then on the other, we are seeing more earth tones that help to reflect the "green" side that people are feeling. Bringing the outdoors in with browns, tans, greens and so on is very popular in 2010 interior paint colors.”
