We’ve all been spending a lot more time at home and feeling like we need a change after the gloom of recent times. A fresh coat of paint is a great and affordable way to revamp and update your home.
While the focus for the last 10 years has been minimalist colours 2021 is seeing the emergence of beautiful jewel tones, peaceful pastels and warm nature hues.
Glowing Jewels
Deep plums, reds and blues are the order of the day. Jewel tones are warm and make a striking impression. Contrast with neutral colours or for a more dramatic effect, pair jewel colours such as red and blue for a statement. It is often said that dark colours make a space feel smaller, but if accented with lighter colours they can actually open up space. Keep carpets and furniture muted, with curtains, cushions and throws complementing your paint colour in rich patterns. These colours will make your home both comforting and vibrant.
Serene Pastels
Space and light are the name of the game with calming pastels for grown-ups. Use these on personal spaces that used to be white or grey to keep the calming vibe going without sacrificing light. Blush is a trend that gained momentum in 2020 and continues into 2021. Other trends to look out for are hints of lemon for warmth and palest blue for serenity. Team up with bolder colours in floral and check patterns on lampshades, chairs, curtains and cushions.
Mother Earth
Nature tones from desert, ocean and forest make a comeback in 2021. Browns are back, from deep to pale, on walls, furniture and accessories. Ochre is popular for a burst of colour, and sunny yellow brings a feeling of optimism to your home. Muted ocean blues and teals are favourites of designers this year and look great on walls and furniture alike. But the biggest trend by far is green, from forest to mint to olive. Green is a rejuvenating and creative colour that brings us back to nature at a time increasingly dominated by technology. Loads of fresh fabric prints will set off your green walls, and a vertical garden that continues the green theme is on trend for 2021.
Enhance Maintenance is the smart and affordable choice to paint your walls in this year’s latest colours.
