Interior Design 2022: Bright Colors are Trending
Color scheme trends are always changing. If you plan on buying a new home or redecorating this year, then it is important to keep current color trends in mind. The good news is that color trends for 2022 are about as exciting as they come. This year, it will be all about bright, energetic shades. As you look at Augusta homes for sale, here are some more specific color trends to keep in mind.
- Very Peri: Pantone Color of the Year
Each year, Pantone releases their Color of the Year. This year, it's a shade called Very Peri, a bright blue reminiscent of periwinkle. Very Peri is a brand new tone, so if you use it in your home design, you'll be one of the first.
This is a unique tone that's relaxing and energizing simultaneously, which would make it a great choice for a home office or playroom. You can tone it down a little, if desired, by pairing it with some earth tones like taupe or warm gray. - Art and Craft: Dunn Edwards Color of the Year
Art and Craft is a modern shade that resembles mauve, but with a unique brightness that brings it into 2022. It may remind you of a warm Spanish villa.
Art and Craft is a great choice for anyone who likes pink but finds most shades of pink too loud and overwhelming. It's energizing but in a quiet way. You could pair it with cream, pale blue, or even a cool sage green. - Evergreen Fog: Sherwin Williams
Green can make a space feel more natural and inviting. If you're looking for a green that's totally on-trend for 2022, Evergreen Fog is a great choice. It's a medium, earthy green with just enough brightness to elevate your mood.
This shade looks phenomenal in bedrooms, and it could also make for a nice accent wall in your living room or entryway. - Mountain River: Valspar Color of the Year
Valspar chooses several Colors of the Year, but one of the most attractive ones for 2022 is a cool blue called Mountain River. It's just deep enough to draw you in but not so dark that it feels overwhelming.
Mountain River would look lovely when paired with a warm lilac shade or even with natural woodwork. It's a nice choice for a living room or even for trim in a bathroom. - Guacamole: Glidden Color of the Year
Glidden's Color of the Year for 2022 is a medium green called Guacamole. If you've ever eaten an avocado, then you know this shade first-hand.
It's a bit lighter than some of the other colors on this list, making it a good choice for smaller spaces like bathrooms and walk-in closets. - Almond Wisp: Behr
Even neutrals have an underlying brightness right now. Almond Wisp, a trendy color from Behr, is a good example. It's a neutral shade with a slight hint of pink. As the name suggests, it should remind you of the inside of an almond.
Almond Wisp could be a great wall color for almost any room. You could easily accent it with a warm purple, a cool blue, or even jewel tones.
