Beat the Chill: 5 interior paint colors for winter

Winter makes us want to cozy up inside with our family and friends. The color on the walls can set up for cozy or cold for the remaining snowy months. Update your color to beat the chill with these 5 interior paint colors for winter.

Winter is a great time to work inside your home. The weather is less than stellar but provides perfect humidity for you to take on a painting job. When it’s done, you’ll get double benefits, a sparkling new home for the remainder of winter, and free time (when you would have painted before) when spring comes.

Now that you’ve decided to update your colors, incorporating warm colors can bring the coziness into your home for winter. Working with the hues in accessories, art, accent or walls will help you feel warm year round.

Terracotta

Terracotta is a rich color from the earth that provides a good hue for a cozy atmosphere. It can be treated as a neutral with red undertones. It’s warm without overpowering the room and provides a more stylish choice than a beige or brown. This has been often chosen for walls that are textured.

Orange

Grey has been the most often chosen neutral color as of late. While it is on trend, it’s cold and uninviting. Use orange for an accent to create a friendly and bold energy in the room. Orange can overwhelm eyes, so make sure to use it sparingly.

Mustard

Since we haven’t seen it in awhile, let’s have a reminder: the sun is yellow. Take a nod from it and bring the sunny color inside. Muted mustard will brighten up any room and keep you warm all season long. Bright yellow can envelope the room and feel all encompassing. Choose a yellow with red undertones to cool it down and get a comfortable space.

Greige

Avoid bland and go for the new beige. Greige as it’s affectionately known creates an elegant but neutral space. By working with undertones, you can get a warm feel from a somewhat cool color. It’s a great option to update your common areas with a color that works year round.

Burgundy

Be careful when working with deep colors like burgundy. It’s an elegant and powerful choice for walls, if your home can take it. Since a whole room in the hue can be overwhelming, most homeowners will want to opt for this color as an accent wall or ceiling tiles. Tie it in with textiles of a similar shade.

Warm Color Tips

Deep and dark warm colors can make walls feel as though they are closing in on you. This can work for you if your rooms are overly large or narrow. They will provide a feeling of warmth but can also increase stress or appetite. If you are unsure of your color choices, work with a color consultant to get a perfect finished product.

Keep your color scheme balanced. If you are working with warm colors on the walls, use a complimentary cool color to balance the room out. If you need help, consider the help of one of our color consultants.
