There’s something about this color that we cannot stop looking at. While at first glance it may seem like nothing special, it actually carries a surprising amount of depth and coolness.

While “Mushroom” may not seem like the most appealing name, it can provide quite an appealing accent for your home office paint colors. A grayish-beige is what will meet the eyes as soon as you gaze upon this interesting piece of color on your palette.

Mushroom is considered a trendy color due to its dark yet muted tones. It’s not as rich as a pure brown, allowing you more flexibility to accommodate your interior decorating style. If you’re a fan of browns and earth tones, you will have a lot to play around with when it comes to your Mushroom hues.

Trend #4. Dark Green Draws Us In

Decorating Den Interiors

Bring nature in with this shade of green.

Not all color trends are new. Instead, designers take inspiration from the past to serve a new purpose and function in the future. The 1990s saw a rise in a popular Hunter Green color. Now, the late 2010s will start us off with its new evolution: Dark Green.

Dark tones combine with a rich green color for something that is bold yet simultaneously subtle. You don’t need a lot of it to make a big difference in your home. It can be splashed on an accent wall or even just used in the bathroom to make a key difference. This is what makes Dark Green one of the most popular 2023 paint trends this year.

This charming kitchen is brought to you by warm and calming combination of colors.

Something a little different for this new year, Cavern Clay invites all who like bold and dark to come out to play. This adventurous new color might remind you of some of the styles and color choices of the mid-century modern era. Back in the 60s, home designers were huge fans of solid and strong colors. But what if the 60s meets the American desert?

That’s where Cavern Clay comes in. Something a little different for those willing to get their feet wet. Great for an accent wall in the hallway or the bedroom. Remember, you can always start small and learn as you grow. That’s the beauty of paint – there’s no such thing as a mistake!

Trend #7. The Blueprint Blues

Behr

The mix of light and darker blue was able to provide depth to the room.

An emerging favorite picked by Behr, this is a slightly warm blue color that can really change the entire mood of the home. While some blue hues are seen as somber and uninviting, blueprint is just deep enough to draw in guests and family members alike.

It’s often described as a little lighter than navy, and softer than a denim palette. It’s surprisingly warm for a blue tone, and it can really shift the purpose and function of a room.

A great fact about the color blue is that it’s built to last. Once you paint your house blue, you know it will never go out of style. And the experts predict that blueprint will surely be one to rise to the top and stay there for quite some time.

Trend #8. Time-Old Terracotta

The accent wall of green and white brings texture to the space.

An interesting name for a color, Night Watch describes a dark, intimate, rich green. It’s very dark, and reflects a mood of lavishness and poise. When asked to describe this color in a single word, many experts answered: “impactful”.

Impactful is certainly the word to describe this phenomenal new trend. Night Watch may not be the first color you’d consider choosing as part of your home remodeling plans, but the more you look at it, the more you may be able to find room in your home to try out this bold and invigorating color.

Many homeowners liken it to the feeling of being in a dense forest, or in a deep secret meeting hosting important dignitaries. If you want your home to make a statement, then this type of eccentric color is certainly the direction to steer towards.

Trend #10. Perfect Pastels

The warm shade draws you in and screams “relaxation.”

The list finishes on a sweet and certainly important note: muted pastels. While these colors may remind you of butterflies in the springtime, it is not a palette to be underestimated. In fact, pastels are some of the most popular paint trends around, not just in 2023.

Want the perfect hallway accent idea? Why not go for something subtle with a very light pink, blue, or yellow? Pastels describe a free-spirited aesthetic, with a preference for all things light and refreshing.

The touch of green is a nice accent to this modern room.

Rich blues, ripe olives, bright greens that have a sense of calming simplicity. These colors are considered neutrals by nature.

Such welcoming and soothing colors. This palette beckons to those that are seeking a calm and serene oasis.
