Perfect Paint Colors for a Summer Home Refresh
Posted on April 21, 2021
We have all spent an ample amount of time at home this year. If it has taught us anything (besides the importance of face-to-face interaction) it is that our homes could use a bit of freshening up. Now that summer is right around the corner, it is the perfect time to take action. Summer is undoubtedly the best time to paint the interior of your home. What color you should choose, however, is a completely different conversation.
To help you find the right answer to this dilemma, our painting experts compiled a list of the best summer colors that will bring any room into the modern century. Any of these designer-approved hues will get you in the mood for an exciting, social summer season.
Hues of Blue
It is hard to go wrong with blue, no matter if it is soft and pale or vibrant and saturated. The color can make you think of sitting outside at a park while your dog runs through the grass, or perhaps it makes you think of the times you’ve sat on the beach with your loved ones. There is no doubt that blue is everywhere in nature. It brings a calming and cooling effect into any space it occupies––and after this past year, we could all use a bit of relaxation.
Blue makes an especially great accent color. You might consider painting just one wall of your home office a soft blue, or refinishing your cabinets with a darker hue. Blue also makes for stunning tiles in bathroom spaces. However, even just placing blue accessories, such as a vase or photo frame, throughout your house can have some positive affect on your mood.
Colors of the Sun
If you’re not a big fan of the color blue, you may want to look more into the colors of the sun. And no, we’re not just talking about yellow. While yes, yellow does make for great interior or exterior paint, the colors of the sun range from everything from vibrant orange to muted pink to pastel purple.
Peachy pink, bright red, and melon yellow are the most popular sun colors for summer 2021. Our experts especially love this trend because of how easy it can be to incorporate personal tastes while staying on trend. This color choice is all about happiness.
Neutral Tones
The last colors we’ll talk about in this article are the tried and true neutral tones. Grey, white, and browns are great summer colors if you are looking to make your space more modern or sophisticated. They are also great if you plan to sell your house anytime soon! Choosing neutral tones also allows you to spice the place up with tons of accessories. It is much easier to match with white than it is to, say, purple.
Neutral paint is also great if you have interesting design features in your house. These colors contrast really well with elements such as wood, metal, or gold. Ultimately, neutral tones bring the focus more to the home itself rather than the paint.
