Refresh Your Space with The Colours of The Year!

Each year, paint companies announce their colour of the year, a tradition that lets us think about incorporating new trends into a tired space if you’re in need of a change. For 2024, we’ve got gentle pastels alongside bold hues, so no matter your style, there’s a colour that’s right for your palette.

1. Peach Fuzz (Pantone)

One of the most anticipated announcements from the world of paint, Pantone has named ‘Peach Fuzz’ their colour of the year for 2024. A soft and gentle colour reminiscent of a summer day, their Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman described their choice as “an echo of our innate yearning for closeness and connection.” To help bring people together in your home, see if this shade fits in your family room where its soft hue will be easy on the eyes.

2. Blue Nova (Benjamin Moore)

This rich hue is sophisticated and classic, a good choice for living rooms and dining rooms. If you’re working with a smaller space, consider painting an accent wall to not overwhelm the room, or pairing it with lighter accents for more balance. The team at Benjamin Moore made their choice in hopes of inspiring thoughts of space travel and adventure.

3. Persimmon (HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams)

Another light-orange shade, this colour is different while still being classy, a way to introduce colour without being garish. Its neutral undertones make it easy to work with, and if used in a living room, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to play with contrasting colours through your accents.

4. Cracked Pepper (Behr)

Black walls may make you think of your goth phase, but this softer shade is a grown-up hue that makes your space feel classic and cozy. Best used in larger rooms with plenty of light to keep things from getting gloomy, and furniture to complement the colours. Complement the walls with shades of blue, or go full contrast with lighter cream-coloured pieces.

5. Upward (Sherwin-Williams)

Need something lighter? This pale blue is reminiscent of a day at the beach, and pairs beautifully with white accents. If your space has been making you feel uninspired, this is a great option to refresh the whole room and lift your spirits every time you enter.
