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.

Khaki
Designer Garrow Kedigian defines a neutral as "anything that isn't jarring," which is a super helpful way to reframe things if cream, white, or gray simply isn't cutting it in your living room and you can't figure out why. Certain spaces just call for something outside the box, whether it's because of an architectural style, light exposures, or existing furniture. Here, the walls are painted Benjamin Moore's Rattan.

Conservatively minded people are pleased to realize that refreshing green is still a fashionable color in the interior of 2023, which will be especially relevant in interiors with minimalist elements. It is recommended to select a dark green background for wall decoration, and use ultramarine or emerald colors for a velvety finish of upholstered furniture.

Amber is successfully combined with dark brown, beige, lilac shades.
Samba

Samba is combined with a neutral background, shading it favorably.
Gold
The flashy golden decoration begins to play in full force. Designers urge not to be afraid to bring elements of luxury into your home. Even small golden elements give the room features of well-being and nobility. Chocolate, red, turquoise, orange tones are organically located in the neighborhood. A combination of gold with a velvety black color scheme is considered an aristocratic option.
The principle of selecting shades in the interior 2023
The dominant design principle is based on the following ratios:
- base tone - 60%;
- additional shade - 30%;
- accent color - 10%.
The search for color solutions is intended to solve not only the task of approaching fashion trends. It is important for each person to express their own preferences and create an atmosphere of comfort and coziness while observing the norms of aesthetics and harmony.
Modern interior often involves an organic combination of color elements typical of different styles. The subsequent operations practiced in the improvement of any premises depend on this, for example:
- Layout with installation of partitions, coordinated transfer of walls;
- Zoning of the surrounding space by different methods;
- Selection of furniture, decoration, lighting, textiles.
The variant of decorating a room in one particular style is gradually going out of fashion. Designers prefer projects with an organic combination of elements from different stylistic trends.
With proper selection of all the components of the interior, it is possible to obtain a comfortable space that reflects the personal preferences of the household, with well-thought-out functionality.
Trends in the selection of color solutions for exclusive interiors 2023
Creation of unique interiors is based on introducing aesthetics, pragmatic component, lightness and environmental safety into the space. Trendy colors in the interior of 2023 and some design tricks are becoming a reference point:
- Naturalness . The trend, which implies close proximity to nature, does not lose its leading positions. The use of natural materials (stone, wood, leather) with a warm texture and soothing tones is relevant in today's dynamic environment. Natural color schemes have a unique personality and always attract attention.
- Glitter . Increasingly, attention is drawn to the abundance of textures, bright colors, the organic inclusion of yellow metal parts, catchy textiles. Similar decisions will be relevant in the 2023 season. Giving preference to some theatrical aesthetics with an abundance of mirrors, textures, complex color transitions, it is important to maintain a balance, especially in small rooms.
- Dynamic . A feature of dynamic modern interiors is the urban theme, which involves the use of innovative materials, clear geometry in lines, as well as additional details with industrial style features: metal mesh on furniture facades, massive ceiling lamps. The color scheme often contains contrasting shades.
Urbanism allows you to combine different styles, organizing an unusual, but very cozy space without any special restrictions. Funny posters can be placed on the walls, the cast-iron base of a static table perfectly coexists with an elegant bright armchair.
- Historical motifs . Deep saturation emerald green, sapphire, wine tones on textiles, as if descended from an old engraving, are gracefully woven into the classic decor with gilding, stucco, restrained colors on the walls, noble parquet floors.
- Ethnic sound .
In the interiors of 2023, the impact of colorful ethnic motifs will increase. Values are figurines, various handmade items, including furniture, unusual eye-catching textiles. A carved chest, a bronze lamp, a floor carpet with ethnic original patterns will serve as a bright accent.
Trendy color shades 2023 in furniture
Modern living rooms acquire an atmosphere of comfort thanks to furniture made from natural materials. Elegant wicker and wooden furniture sets will be fashionable in 2023. The color scheme in the selection of furniture involves a variety of variations.
Leather in a respectable chestnut or luxurious golden hue will dominate next season not only in the role of furnishing. Increasingly, designers are using leather panels in the design of walls and floors.
Balancing elegant steel tones continue to attract the attention of designers when decorating various furniture planes. The popularity of polished nickel, darkened steel, noble silver, brass is increasing.
Iron does not lose its leading position, white alloys are increasingly common. When used in the living room, elements made of bronze with a golden brown tint achieve an exquisitely luxurious atmosphere.

Trendy color range 2023 for a modern interior
Analyzing the emerging style and color preferences, it can be noted that the following options will be popular in 2023:
- Combination of various concentrations of graphite, light grey, white with accent splashes from the list of bright colors. This option in any situation is different win-win. The calm atmosphere set by the basic background allows you to relieve stress and relax.
- Use for interior decoration of any functional pastel palette from lightened sand color to a pronounced cream shade.
For example: any shade of a universal sand color (straw, golden sand, beige khaki, etc.) easily gets along next to all, even very saturated colors. The elegant sound of the sand palette looks noble, restrained and cozy. - Cream tone, which is preferred by people who value classics, comfort, balance, can dominate the space, but will require darker neighboring accents, such as bronze or chestnut.
- Application of refreshing tones of natural greenery. Delicate light green, mint, malachite varieties, as well as dark turquoise, olive tones remain relevant. With a clean sound, green notes in bright variations are great for accent dot display. Mint, noble pistachio, solid cane can solo in space. Light greens are suitable for people seeking renewal. Conservatives prefer a serious, balanced dark green color scheme.
- Include in the variations of the combined color scheme of the interior a calm, pure blue tint of varying degrees of saturation. When properly distributed over surfaces, cornflower blue, azure, heavenly, turquoise colors create an atmosphere of creativity, tranquility, security, relaxation, and trust in the surrounding space.
Priority directions for 2023 in interior color design
Indoor color schemes perform not only the function of designing and decorating various surfaces. With the help of the rational use of the diversity of the color palette, designers successfully solve other problems.
Zoning
A well-designed visual division of space into functional areas is one of the main trends of the 2023 season. Using a combination of well-matched shades, you can highlight a work area, a fireplace area, a relaxation area, a place for children's activities or placement of flowering plants in the room. In the kitchen, it is easy to visually separate the dining and working areas.
Different techniques are used for zoning. You can paint the surfaces of the walls by choosing different colors. An interesting effect is obtained if the floor or even the ceiling surface is decorated with materials of different tone.
Complex interior
The current trend in interior design solutions for the 2023 season is the organic integration of working and functional areas into living spaces.
The interior becomes complex, which saves space and creates an orderly appearance of the room. The base background is selected from a list of neutral shades interspersed with saturated colors.
Adjusting the proportions of the room
The current trend is to use more active tones in small rooms. The postulate that only light walls can visually expand a miniature space is gradually becoming a thing of the past.
On the contrary, the analysis of modern projects allows us to conclude that a deep rich color scheme distracts attention from small dimensions. It is important not to use it in the dominant version. Usually one accent wall or a specific area is brightly decorated to emphasize its functionality.
Cooling or warming the room
Fashionable colors in the interior 2023 can not only give the space a certain impact on the psychological state of a person. With the right selection, they will warm a cold room, oriented to the north and practically not receiving the beneficial effects of sunlight.
In this situation, you will need to choose a background from an arsenal of warm colors, including a variety of shades from yellow radiance to red-violet nobility. Accordingly, it is advisable to decide on a room on the south side with a predominance of cold shades from another part of the color palette.
Summing up the above, it can be noted that in the field of interior design, the selection of color solutions is usually carried out with a focus not only on fashion trends and current trends. An important role is played by personal preferences and ideas about comfort and coziness. The priority is not just functional interiors, but soothing ones, allowing you to relieve irritation, relax and unwind.

Choose the right palette
Choose shades wisely, not based on fashion trends. Not all trendy shades are suitable specifically for your interior and lighting. Remember, your goal is a harmonious space where everything fits together.
TIP: blue-green and yellow are a magical combination where each complements the other. Especially in combination with natural wood and live plants!
The combination of cool blue-green and honey yellow, vintage and modern, gives this interior a spectacular dynamism.
Accent wall
One step from love to hate - and vice versa! The accent wall is back - but this time in its classic form: not "pulling the blanket over itself", but creating a harmonious whole with the whole environment.
TIP: keep the white molding at the ceiling. It will beautifully accentuate the transition from color to white and at the same time visually increase the height of the ceiling.
Light salmon is perfect for an accent wall in the bedroom.
Paint the walls in different colors
Always imagine the big picture. It is not necessary to paint all the rooms in the house the same color. If the rooms are located in an enfilade or next to each other, and another is clearly visible from one room, you can paint them in close tones, or in colors that blend well with each other.

Juicy colors
One of the most trendy colors of recent seasons is a deep lingonberry pink.
It will work great in a small room or dressing room: the interior will gain depth and charisma. Looking to add some chic to your space without sacrificing tranquility? Work on the ceiling!

Paint everything!
Now it is fashionable to paint not only walls, but also everything else - rosettes, moldings, ceiling mouldings, shelves and even the ceiling - in one color. The space is homogeneous and solid. This solution is especially well suited for small rooms (entrance hall or, say, dressing room).
TIP: in a small hallway, you can hang shelves above the door and paint them in the color of the walls, and if there is paint left, storage boxes.
The "rusty" color of the walls and ceiling is harmoniously complemented by natural wood on the floor.

Choose harmonious colors
We spend a lot of time in the bedroom, so it is especially important that nothing annoys you here. On the contrary, the palette should set you up for rest, relaxation and peace. Choose a color that will bring harmony and peace. Ideal for this are shades of gray or cool green, which both relieves stress and has a beneficial effect on the psyche.

We select the decor
Let the color chosen for the walls echo the interior details. Think carefully about decor and accessories - let them be in the same range or in colors that blend well with the background. This will give the room personality and "zest".
TIP: complement bright colors with natural materials. Natural wood, bamboo, wickerwork or a beautiful branch in a vase will add warmth and comfort to the interior.
