Shades to Update Bedrooms, Kitchens, and Living Rooms
Graphic by Cristina Cianci
These days, the word "modern" means a variety of different things, especially when it comes to embarking on a new interior paint project. Some think pure white paint is modernity incarnate, while others picture deep, dramatic hues. But the truth is that both types of colors have the ability to take lifeless spaces to new style heights, depending on where, and how, they're used. Modern colors aren't necessarily reserved for modern architecture, either, explains Benjamin Moore's Andrea Magno. Rather, "they capture a modern sensibility," she explains.
While Magno acknowledges that in recent years, folks are straying from the dated idea that a modern room is one that's staunchly bright-white, she also admits that variations of white and gray—neutrals—are actually the forerunning color trends proliferating today's painting projects.
Consider using one of these ultra-versatile paint colors to give your space a quick pick-me-up.

"The captivating, upbeat power of red brings energy into every room," says Magno. Bold and energizing (and with brown undertones), Caliente completely transforms any space, whether covering an entire room or used as a simple accent. "Red never fails to make a statement," she adds, "and you can show off your color-confidence with this classic, dramatic hue."

Some colors never go out of style, like this versatile, bright off-white. "White Opulence is crisp and clean with just the slightest touch of pink," Magno says. Use it anywhere you want to evoke a serene, tranquil feeling, such as a bedroom or bathroom.

To create depth and a dramatic effect, paint walls black. "It's a chic way to elevate other colors, and it makes a strong style statement," Magno says.
Black Beauty is a warm, modern, rich tone that that pairs well with any hue, but especially whites, deep greens, pinks, and metallic tones.

Another off-white, White Heron is a crisp variation with blue undertones that's particularly nice on trim, casings, and millwork. On walls, white is the perfect backdrop via which to show off artwork and decorative elements. Pair it with warm and cool shades—both work with it because it isn't too stark.

"Sophisticated and subdued, Excalibur Gray has a slightly violet cast that's ideal in a bedroom or bathroom," says Magno. We love this romantic, moody shade that breathes new life into basic gray.

As its name suggests, Moonshine isn't quite white nor is it a full-on gray—it falls somewhere in the middle. "A pale gray with a tinge of green, Moonshine is a subtle color that complements many materials and textures; it's versatile and nuanced," says Magno.

The statement-making Wolf Gray is cool, with strong blue undertones. It looks beautiful on kitchen cabinetry, built-in bookshelves, millwork, and yes, walls. Earthy neutrals, such as muted yellows and greens, and bolder colors, like cobalt and indigo, complement its richness.

"This pale slightly-green gray is tranquil and elegant," says Magno. She recommends using Silver Marlin in a living room, bedroom, or bathroom and pairing it with soft, metallic accents such as antique brass or brushed nickel.

Sharkskin reads as a deep, gray-green and is "a versatile color that pairs easily with pastels, and bolder colors, too," Magno says. Mustard and deep red accents will pop against its verdant undertones. Consider it for the exterior of your home, as well.

According to Magno, Balboa Mist is one of Benjamin Moore's most popular grays due to its ability to freshen and modernize any space.
"It works beautifully with a wide range of other colors, and stands up well on its own," she says. Consider ceilings, trim, and walls.

Paint trends 2023 – We reveal the key colours and effects to update your home this year
(Image credit: YesColours)
With the arrival of a new year, what better way to kick things off then updating your home with colour and we've got all the latest paint ideas you'll need.
Whether you just want to refresh woodwork and skirtings, fancy changing up your ceiling shade or are after an entirely new look for your interior, knowing what the key paint trends for the year ahead are, will guide you to making the most up-to-date choice.
A simple paint shade can have an immense affect on our emotions, happiness and well-being. Getting the colour scheme right has never been more key for creating a contented happy home. Our homes are our own personal sanctuary, a space where we want to feel safe, comforted and – above all else – happy.
These are the trending colours to embrace for any DIY and decorating projects for the year ahead. As well as the latest colours, our colour and paint experts explore the latest trends in how to use paint within our living spaces too.
Decorating and paint trends for 2023 are looking like they are split into two camps - going bold and bright, or keeping things neutral.
When it comes to bold colour, it’s all about luxe greens, inky blues, berry reds and burnt oranges, giving rooms a touch of drama alongside warmth and cosiness. The art of using two or more contrasting tones, ‘Colour-blocking’, remains a popular choice to create eye-catching interiors.
And of course nature continues to be an inspiration when it comes to a more neutral palette.
Colours found in the great outdoors, like mushroom, dried grass, cloud and seafoam - these hues will definitely be taking us through the next year of decorating.
Follow our guide below to get clued up on all the key paint trends for 2023.
1. Dramatic inky blues
(Image credit: Benjamin Moore)
The popularity for Navy doesn't seem to be going anywhere, but this year we see dark blues tipping over into richer, more regal shades. Think deep oceanic tones and try using them in a tonally immersive way, by matching the colour on furniture and fabrics too.
Alternatively, blue hues sit particularly well together and can offer great scope for pattern mixing, so in a living room try combining plain Inky blue walls with indigo striped curtains and cobalt patterned cushions.
Blue is one of the most popular colors for living rooms – and really successful at creating a calm, elegant finish in an often busy space. Helen Shaw, UK Director for Benjamin Moore paint , points out that, ‘Starry Night Blue is our radiant blue that is akin to the deep indigo of dusk.
The touch of violet in its undertone makes it feel sophisticated but there is also a playful side to this colour, particularly in a higher sheen such as this Satin finish. This has a similar effect when used on cabinetry as a fresh alternative to navy’.
2. Primary pairings

Take inspiration from colour-blocking, still found to be popular in the fashion world, and think about dressing your kitchen like you would pull an outfit together! One colour for the top and another for the bottom, with a little injection of colour for accessories - like this pop of yellow.
Joa Studholme, Colour Curator at Farrow & Ball explains how to achieve this, ‘The biggest overall paint trend in 2023 will be about how we use colour as much as the colour itself. The use of stronger, simpler colours is extremely popular. Eclectic mixes evoke the warmth and harmony of a more innocent age’.
She goes on to say, ‘this can be achieved by using two colours on one wall – easy if you have panelling or a dado rail, but if not then arm yourself with masking tape and just paint the bottom third of the wall in one colour and the top in another.
The blue tones of Selvedge are made to feel all the more upbeat when combined with deeply saturated green Beverly and this look sums up this growing trend of using a friendly combination of block colours’.
3. Rich neutrals
(Image credit: Paint & Paper Library)
There's nothing more inviting and cocooning than wrapping your hands around a mug of hot chocolate, or a caramel latte. So it’s no surprise that these colours are being seen more and more within the popular neutral palette. You certainly can’t scroll through Instagram without seeing hundreds of living rooms in these rich neutrals and now these tones are moving into kitchens and bathrooms too.
Andy Greenall, Creative Director at Paint & Paper Library says, 'Moving away from impersonal and stark bright whites, kitchen design schemes are becoming more considered, with schemes reflecting the wider interior aesthetic of a home. Richer, mood-setting colours are being used to great effect in combination across woodwork, cabinetry and walls.
'
‘Mink’ is a wonderfully versatile, warm, pink-based neutral that adds depth and warmth to kitchen walls. Pair with the enigmatic, deep red-brown ‘Scarlet ‘n’ Rust’ for a sophisticated, timeless scheme.’
4. Hand painted murals

Individuality and creativity are key to making our homes feel personal to us and alongside our need for sustainability we will be seeing more upcycling and more make-do-and-mend than ever. And what better way to create an inexpensive focal point, than to paint your very own mural, that is sure to be a talking point for visitors.
Using pastel hues can help fill the room with uplifting energy and help boost and invigorate a space. To stop the scheme looking too saccharin, choose soft pinks, mustard yellows and dusky teals, in place of purer more white based shades. The beauty of pastels is that they are a great middle-ground between dark paint colors and subtle neutrals.
‘Creating simple free flowing shapes across a wall is a quick and effective way to really lift a space on a budget’, advises Anna Hill, Brand Director at Fenwick & Tilbrook , ‘Making a statement that can tie colours together in the room or add colour where the rest of the space is more neutral’.
5. Mixing matt and gloss
(Image credit: Paint & Paper Library)
A wonderful way to create depth and interest on a flat wall is to mix matt and gloss paints in the same colour. Try a checkerboard pattern, alternate stripes or like in this image, zoning an area. The change in paint finish means that light will bounce off them in varying amounts, creating interest to an otherwise plain wall.
Take this hallway idea as an example, Andy Greenall, Creative Director at Paint & Paper Library says, 'Paint finishes, from high gloss to chalky matt, have a profound effect on colour. Our new versatile and self-priming formulations give designers permission to play with finish, to be creative in their choices and confident that the finishes are durable enough to withstand any situation.'
'I love to see finishes used in surprising ways; the same colour set side by side in contrasting finishes will create a contemporary moment in a traditional space. Consider juxtaposing the chalky matt Architects’ Matt with our high sheen Architects’ Gloss.
’
6. Stylish heights

The trend for painted ceilings has been made popular by interior designers such as Abigail Aherne and the trend seems to be continuing into 2023, this time with some serious pops of colour. So if your ceilings feel too low and cramped, or too high and lofty, then painting them can adjust the vibe.
To bring the ceiling height down, try continuing the paint from the ceiling down onto the walls (to where a picture rail would be), this will help blur the lines between the wall and the ceiling surfaces. It can also provide interest to a space without any architectural details.
There isn’t a colour more optimistic or feel-good than yellow. It brings in an instant dose of sunshine and works particularly well on a ceiling as it replicates bright, sunny light in rooms that may lack it.
Justyna Korczynska, senior designer at Crown , advocates using yellow on ceilings, she says -‘Try something a little different by using a really bright colour such as Crown’s Mustard Jar on the ceiling so the colour visually spills onto plain white walls below.
Alternatively, play with tones to suit your palette - a dark turquoise, for example, on the ceiling would partner suitably with mid and paler tones for the walls’.
7. Create a piece of art
(Image credit: Yes Colours)
Accentuating areas within a room with a strong colour can help create a painted masterpiece, and give a room a one-of-a kind look. For example, choosing to paint an alcove to create a bold statement, or to highlight a fireplace surround in a striking complementary colour, will give a room a truly personal touch.
‘Look out for areas which lend themselves to be ‘pulled out’ to give an instant punch of colour’, Emma Bestley, Co-founder & Creative Director of YesColours , explains. 'Colours can be used to manipulate the way your architecture looks and feels. And for homes without these details; colour can also create the appearance of architectural features, even if all you have is a few blank walls and a flat ceiling.'
'Painting using earthy colours like our warming Loving Orange, can completely transform a structural detail into an eye-catching feature.
It grounds the scheme which then becomes a more inclusive and inviting space. The same goes for the use of olive green in the skylight reveal, it turns the emptiness of that space, drawing your eye towards the subtle but cheerful detail.'
8. Tri-colour room
(Image credit: Little Greene)
There are three parts to consider when painting a room: the wall, the woodwork and the ceiling and this year we’re sure to be ditching the safe white skirtings and choosing to highlight them in bright contrasting colours instead. In 2021 Interior designer, Kelly Hoppen, described that painting your skirting boards white, is like wearing white socks below coloured trousers that are too short! So we are definitely going to see braver choices in using colour to highlight woodwork in 2023.
Ruth Mottershead, Creative Director at Little Greene agrees, ‘Highlighting stripes or colour blocking are wonderful ways to add personality, colour and design details to a space. For a bold and playful scheme opt for contrasting colours in broad stripes, take across doors, skirting and architectural features for a dynamic contemporary feel.
'
'For a more subtle finish, simply add a colour highlight to architectural detailing such as skirting or above a picture rail. The more contrasting the colour combination, the more it will draw the eye and deliver impact. Deep and timeless ‘Bronze Red’ will work fantastically combined with vibrant ‘ Deep Space Blue’ and a highlight of earthy ‘Yellow-Pink’.
9. Reds with pink undertones
(Image credit: Farrow & Ball)
In 2023 we will be seeing the usual deep reds staying a popular paint choice, but this time with strong pink undertones. ‘Raspberry Blush’ announced as Colour of the Year for Benjamin Moore Paint is a vivacious shade of coral tinged with pinks, and The Pantone Colour of the year named as ‘Viva Magenta’ is a transformative crimson red with hints of raspberry.
We are leaning into these warm colours and using them all over for statement-making rooms, or alternatively in smaller amounts - on a front door, a kitchen island, or even stairways, to create a bold look that conveys excitement and energy.
“Whilst deep Berry reds may feel like a nostalgic trip to the dining rooms of the 1980’s, used judiciously they can feel modern & vibrant and add a splash of exuberant warmth’, says Patrick O'Donnell, International Brand Ambassador at Farrow & Ball . He then adds, 'This shade is even becoming a consideration for the smallest of spaces, such as a powder room.’
10. Dusky pink
(Image credit: Francesca's Paints)
We have been drawn to earthy tones of pink to help bring comfort and warmth to our interiors during the past couple of years and it’s something that looks to continue into 2023.
This earthy tone of pink is moving away from baby pinks and soft white pinks and is more a blend of blush and beige mixed to create a grounding shade of pink.
‘A pale, soft pink, like Thrift, is a calming, gentle colour with a warming, nostalgic feel. It’s an important colour for 2023 as it’s incredibly versatile, working in bedrooms, drawing rooms, kitchens and bathrooms.
It pairs beautifully with a number of shades, including ochre, blue, grey and green. Most importantly, it’s a colour which makes a house feel like a home’, says Francesca Wezel, Founder of Francesca’s Paints
11. Neutrals to create tranquility
(Image credit: Crown Paints)
This minimal approach builds on the cocooning concepts of 2021, creating places to retreat, relax and be cosy. These soft neutrals bring warmth and comfort to a room, with a hint of organic green and a contrasting unsaturated black-brown to complete the look.
Neville Knott, Crown Paints Colour Consultant, explains why neutrals remain popular for 2023, ‘This Colour Insight wants to wrap you up in a blanket of restorative comfort. Combining muted tones of green, stone and creams, they create an inviting balanced beauty within any space that acts as a sanctuary from the outside world. Curved walls, tactile furniture and three-dimensional forms blend effortlessly to create a balanced, high-end interior where tensions melt away.
'
12. Go all out for gloss
(Image credit: Myalnds)
We’re very used to seeing gloss finishes used in rooms with higher moisture levels, in bathrooms for example, but now we are seeing it being used to add a dramatic and eye-catching flair to different rooms around the house. It’s high sheen and reflective tone can make dark or smaller spaces feel much larger too. Here this bang on trend dark olive green is perfect for creating a reflective surface in a small office.
Dominic Myland, CEO at Mylands , explains why this trend is going to be big news in 2023, 'A gloss finish can be used to create a high-impact scheme, and its reflective quality will brighten up the room and make a smaller space feel bigger as the light bounces round. The lustre also intensifies richer colours; this classic Sorrel Green becomes more dramatic with the gloss finish. Combining gloss and matt finishes, such as using matt for the walls and gloss for the skirting and window frames, will create subtle contrast and bring dimension and interest to the space.

types, how to choose, ideas for interiors
The right choice of wall paint will make repairs more comfortable and faster. To date, there is a huge variety of paints in composition, color, as well as the effect that you want to get in the end. In order not to make a mistake with the purchase, it is necessary to take into account the individual properties, pros and cons of each material.
Our article will talk about the most relevant types of wall paint, their advantages, application in different rooms, as well as the criteria that you should pay attention to when choosing. nine0005
Colors
If you decide to find a worthy alternative to wallpaper or renovate already painted walls, then it's time to find out about the most popular types of paints offered by manufacturers:
Silicone Wall Paint
A unique type of wall covering that has the ability to self-clean. This has a positive effect on the absence of stains, dirt and dusty streaks. Silicone paint is used in different rooms of the house or office because it has a high environmental friendliness and proven durability. Such a coating often masks scratches up to 3 mm in size. The composition of this paintwork material may contain antibacterial elements, which is also a distinctive characteristic. nine0005
Acrylic wall paint
She became famous for her elasticity and high moisture resistance.
The external variety of colors is very rich in interesting shades. Another significant advantage is the fact that if you wish, you can create your own original shade right in the store. A special machine mixes different pigments, and you become the creator of an interesting new tone for your home.
Latex Wall Paint
This is a very good option for painting old wallpapers. This is evidenced by low vapor permeability, ease of washing, as well as durability. Appearance may differ in brightness or neutral tones. Because of its durability, latex paint is popular in kindergartens, schools, and other educational or recreational settings. nine0005
Water based wall paint
One of the most budgetary types of wall covering. The composition includes a combination of different pigments that dissolve in water. The advantages of water-based paint include environmental friendliness, brightness, and ease of care (simple detergents are used for cleaning).
Alkyd enamels
The design of this type of wall paint may vary.
There are matte, semi-gloss and glossy options. Among the distinctive properties are resistance to abrasion and aesthetic appearance. Alkyd enamels dry quite quickly (compared to other types of paints and varnishes), but have a slightly pungent odor that takes some time to fade. nine0005
Paint in the interior of different rooms
The choice of paint and varnish material for the wall surface should depend not only on the properties and appearance of the product, but also on the purpose for different rooms.
Bedroom Wall Paint
An emulsion and silicone base is perfect for a cozy sleeping corner. The first one perfectly masks any irregularities, cracks and scratches on the walls, absorbs excess moisture, and the second, with its environmental friendliness, is suitable even for allergy sufferers. As for the structure, it is best to give preference to matte paints for the bedroom. nine0005
Living room wall paint
Here it would be optimal to use bright alkyd enamel, latex or acrylic paint.
A latex product can well cover the remains of an old repair, acrylic paint will delight you with moisture resistance, and alkyd enamel will perfectly fit into a bright design that is filled with rich colors.
Children's room wall paint
For this room, it is very important to use acrylic paint, which is easily washed off. The composition must be characterized by zero emission. This indicates the absence of any harmful components. Another good option for decorating a child's room is to use glue paints, which are also beautiful and safe. nine0005
Kitchen wall paint
The kitchen space is often the hardest thing to keep perfectly clean, so you should look at acrylic paint (walls can be touched up and refreshed at any time necessary) or silicone product, which has become famous for its high durability.
Hallway wall paint
The best choice would be acrylic-latex (combined) or latex paint, which is resistant to chemical and mechanical damage, easy abrasion and has a huge variety of colors.

How to choose wall paint
Expert advice will help you choose your wall covering twice as fast and with confidence. The first thing to consider when choosing wall paint is that you first need to decide on the color scheme of the furniture, and only after that - on the tone of the finish. It also does not hurt to recreate the room of your dreams in the form of a computer or paper drawing using the colors you like. This will help you look at the big picture from the outside and understand whether you want to give this appearance to a particular room. It is worth remembering that the color of the floor and wall covering should not differ by more than half a tone. Then the interior design will look aesthetically pleasing and elegant, and not flashy. nine0005
For those who have not yet decided on the right option, it is worth buying several washable probes of different shades and painting different parts of the room in order to look at the result and make the right decision.
A matte base can easily hide all wall imperfections, while a glossy base can emphasize them. Therefore, the first coating is good to use on already painted walls, and the second will be relevant for primary repairs or for a completely flat and cleaned surface.
The palette should be harmonious not only in one selected room, but throughout the house. The rooms should complement each other, creating a common beautiful background. It must be remembered that the color solution should also depend on the chosen style solution. Each interior design has its own successful range of colors. nine0005

Unusual wall paints: 10 options
Decorative wall paint will make your home interior bright and will serve as a wonderful decoration that will not take up much space in the room.
We show the most unusual paints for wall decoration. nine0005
Decorating the walls of an apartment with paint is one of the easiest ways to decorate a room, along with wallpapering. But if you don't want to use classic mixes, you can choose a more decorative option that will also serve as a decoration for your home.
Especially for you, we have found 10 most unusual wall paints that will make the interior brighter and add originality to it.
1. Embossed
An interesting alternative to regular paint with a smooth surface is a relief coating that will make the wall more “voluminous”. In stores, you can choose from many different reliefs: from wavy lines to abstract patterns. nine0005
The embossed paint is very pleasant to the touch, so you can not only admire the interior, but also enjoy it tactilely.

2. Pearlescent
This is a real chameleon paint.
It contains a special pigment that refracts light rays. Therefore, under different lighting - natural or artificial, strong or subdued - and at different angles of incidence of light, mother-of-pearl paint acquires different brightness and saturation. As a rule, it has a relief surface, which creates a changeable play of light and shadow depending on the lighting - this also affects the change in the appearance of the wall. nine0005

3. With the effect of silk
Another popular coating option: paint that imitates a textile surface, in this case a silk fabric. Here, too, a pearlescent pigment is partially present, thanks to which the wall acquires the brilliant overflows characteristic of silk. The big advantage of this paint: in addition to acrylic and pigments, it contains water, so the paint is harmless and environmentally friendly.

4. Luminescent
A very unusual paint that is saturated with light during the day and begins to glow at night. At the same time, elements appear on the wall that remained invisible in the light. It can be various drawings, abstract compositions or inscriptions. The luminescent coating is perfect for a child's room - luminous drawings and pictures will have a positive effect on the child's mental state and mood. nine0005

5. Slate
With slate paint, you can turn a wall into a solid chalkboard: you can write or draw on it with crayons. In the children's room, such paint will help diversify the circle of the child's activities and protect ordinary wallpapers from children's drawings. It is also popular as a kitchen or study design, used in office design. Slate paint is characterized mainly by dark colors, the most popular of which is black. Therefore, it is most often used for partial decoration, so as not to “darken” the interior of the room too much.

6. Marker room
You can also write and draw on the wall decorated with marker paint - only not with chalk, but with felt-tip pens and markers. The paint has a shiny glossy surface that can be decorated in classic white or other light colors, so that it will organically fit into a modern light interior in a minimalist or high-tech style. The main thing to be aware of when using marker paint is that it takes a long time to dry - it will take about a week. nine0005

any sizes. Such a coating will become a functional organizer for notes and photos in the office, as well as a great addition to the play area in the children's room.

8. Mosaic
The specificity of mosaic paint is that it contains small capsules of other colors.
They do not mix with the main tone of the paint and are sprayed onto the wall in the form of a chaotic dotted pattern, as in the photo below. You can choose mosaic paint with a similar palette of capsules, or, on the contrary, you can choose fundamentally different colors to make the design of the room contrast and colorful.

9. With watercolor effect
Paint with this effect will help to turn the wall into an abstract painting, as if painted in watercolor. For this, only two colors similar in tone are used: first, the first is applied and dries completely, and then the second is applied to it and blurred with a roller. Thanks to this technology, uneven transitions between colors are obtained, which create a watercolor effect.

10. Antique
Wall paint can also help to artificially age the interior, if the chosen style of decoration requires it, for example Provence or Shabby Chic.
