Paint Colors that Invite in Summer

Posted on June 8, 2022

Now that summer is right around the corner, it is the perfect time to paint your home. Summer is undoubtedly the best time to paint your home. What paint colors 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 paint colors that will bring any room into the new season. Any of these designer-approved hues will get you in the mood for an exciting, social summer season.

Light Creamy Hues

The first colors we are going to go over are the classic ivory, beige and cream that litter neighborhoods in every region. In Fredericksburg, these colors are especially in-style. While this color has been around for a long time, you can stay up to date by leaning toward creamier colors, such as off-white. If you’re not too excited about painting your entire exterior this shade, consider painting the trim of your home a creamy hue that can extenuate the good features.

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.

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 mellon 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.

Highlight the Wood

The last color trend we are going to go over in this article isn’t really a color at all. Instead, we are going to talk about how stained and painted wood is standing out beautifully in 2021. Wood is also becoming more popular in homes that are being built this year. Whether it is accents, front porches, or entire walls, wood is definitely in. Fortunately, most professional painters are also capable of completing your wood projects. CertaPro definitely is!
