Cheerful Spring Colors to Paint Your Home

Posted on April 13, 2020

The sun is out and the birds are chirping. Spring has arrived. Once you have finished the flurry of cleaning, you may find yourself ready to bring some of the warmth from outside, inside. A paint job can make the space cleaner and brighter. Here are cheerful spring colors to paint your home.

A new addition to your current color palette can make a huge difference in the feeling inside your home. For the happiest colors of spring, we went to our color consultants to see what they suggest. These shades are sure to update your house and look warm and cheerful year-round.

White

White is an easy way to make a room feel lighter. The color also adds an airy and clean feeling to a room that otherwise could feel worn and dingy. Give the room a truly spring feel by adding new sheer curtains and some flowering or green houseplants. Your oasis will be ready for spring.

Blush

We have come a long way since millennial pink in 2016. The teenage, bubblegum color has grown up into this sexy and sophisticated pink. By pairing this color with tan and white, you are sure to get a classic and warm palette that can work well as a neutral with some style.

Coral

A distant cousin of blush is coral. Pantone named Living Coral as Color of the Year for 2019. The color is a warm pink with invigorating orange. This color is versatile in varying saturations. Make a big statement using this color in a small room, like an office, laundry or mudroom.

Bright Blue

Last year, royal blue was Pantone’s Color of the Year, so naturally, this year, it’s everywhere. Take a nod from the bluebirds outside your window and bring this vivid shade inside. The color reminds us of a summer sky, making the line between inside/outside that much thinner. A light blue-tinted ceiling paint, a bright blue accent wall or a deep blue bathroom respite all work well within homes. Try pairing it with neutral colors throughout the room or stark whites to avoid overwhelming the eyes.

Sage Green

Green is the color of the season since we are seeing the re-emergence of plants, shrubs and grass. Rather than painting your walls grass green, go with a shade that is a little more workable in the house. With sage green, you have a deeper green that works in non-gender specific areas while still providing you with a natural color.

Camel

Beige has always been a favorite of interior painters. It’s easy to work with and a neutral tone that appeals to a wide range of uses. Rather than bland light brown, the color to use this season is Camel. Soft leather inspired browns are popular for not just walls, but furniture, floors and accessories. Again, since it’s found in nature, it’s spring-forward thinking to add it to walls.

Yellow

Go full spring and bring the sunshine in. Warm, buttery yellow is the perfect shade to incorporate into a kitchen area. Because it can be a bit overpowering, make sure you use this color with caution. The kitchen works because typically a lot of the walls are hidden behind appliances and cabinets. With just a bit of yellow peeking out, you’ll have a welcoming kitchen that’s not overdone.

Olive Green

While bringing grass and sage green into your home might not be in your wheelhouse, another green making rounds is Olive. Because the color has tones of blue in it, it’s lighter and simpler to work with. The color has been very successful in bathrooms and laundry rooms alike. Homeowners tout the green is perfectly paired with a chair rail and cream for a festive spring dining room update.

Pastels

There is no avoiding the pastels in spring. Truth is, there is never a wrong time to add pastels to your paint palette. The colors work really well in conjunction with neutrals or each other. They are also successful in any room of the house, so grab a pastel and get painting.
