Fresh and inviting, blue is certainly worthy of its place in the spotlight. There are endless shades of blue room ideas for all your color trend and room color needs. Many blues have their own beneficial qualities but there's nothing quite like sky blue – a mood-lifting hue that is ideal for quiet spaces, reading rooms and even outdoor spaces. 

'We love this color for being neither loud nor cold – it adds an instant freshness to outdoor spaces.' says Ruth Mottershead, creative director, Little Greene .

2. Beautify with soft lilac

Lilac, especially at the lighter end of the scale, can be used as a softer, more romantic version of grey so if you want a look that feels clean and unfussy but with a little character, this is your ‘go to’ shade when thinking about room color schemes.

'Lilac is a calming, comforting color, it makes you want to relax and stay in an interior longer.' says Saffron Hare, creative director, James Hare . It is a hue that encourages quiet moments of contemplation.  

3. Decorate with a barely-there beige-grey

It's fair to say that we've been championing colorful interior schemes and bold decorating ideas for some time, but a neutral whole-house color scheme can enable beautiful architecture and decorative furniture to make a true style statement within your home.  

When it's comes home ideas and planning your scheme, it's often best to consider the overall color palette of a room early on, this will assist with defining the other aspects within the space as the project moves forward.  For example, a neutral shade, like this beige-grey, may need to be paired with other materials to truly sing: timber, leather and marble work particularly well. 

4. Warm up with earthy pinks

Earthy pinks – these natural hues, somewhere between red, pink and brown, conjure up warmth in any room and are reminiscent of late summer evening sunsets.

‘Rhubarb is my go-to color; added to a neutral scheme, it creates warmth, depth and a touch of the unexpected,' says Georgie Wykeham, founder, Georgie Wykeham Designs . 'Used on its own, it is a very easy color to live with and yet it also works beautifully with blues, greens, pinks and reds.’ 

5. Make a room feel grounded

While this rich caramel hue definitely belongs to the neutral color family, we think it packs a strong punch that blends well with natural materials, as well as patterned fabrics, to create a calm and relaxing space. 

‘This sandy shade has such depth to it,' says Laura Stephens, founder, Laura Stephens Interior Design . 'It makes a room feel warm so is good for north-facing rooms and those that don’t get a lot of natural light. It works really well with both crisp whites and also colors closer in tone, such as burgundy and olive green. It also makes stronger colors like a royal blue pop against it. It’s so versatile.’ 

6. Inspire with orange paint trends

Vibrant and inviting, deep orange packs a pinch and is full of optimism and hope. 

‘For me, the home should be filled with bright color trends and bold patterns as they add personality to a space,' says ’ Emma Deterding, founder, Kelling Designs. 'Orange shades are a great choice – they bring an uplifting feel during the day and can help create a cozy, relaxed atmosphere in the evening, showing how versatile this color is in different light.'

An orange entrance hall is a wonderful way to welcome people to a home. Here, the interior of the client’s antique Chinese lacquered cabinet inspired the glossy walls of this apartment. A strong sense of orange was carried throughout the scheme. 

7. Warm up with mid-brown taupe

Reminiscent of velvety cocoa, this mid-brown taupe is a striking color for any room. Depending on the furniture and accent color ideas introduced alongside, it has the flexibility to range from looking neat and tailored to soft and welcoming. Insiders reveal how to use it to best effect.

‘Timeless neutrals lend themselves to historic properties, creating warm backgrounds for original features,' says Louise Wicksteed, design director, Sims Hilditch. 'When opting for a neutral shade on the walls and ceiling, be playful with your soft furnishings and consider threading splashes of color and pattern through the fabric used for your scatter cushions.’ 

8. Escape with an ocean-inspired palette

Instantly energizing, an ocean hue offers a mental escape route from busy schedules and looming deadlines. It’s versatile, too: turn up the intensity with a gloss finish or subdue it in a flat matt.

‘Reminiscent of endless tropical skies and oceans, this color is full of vitality even on a grey day,' says Tricia Guild, founder and creative director, Designers Guild.  

'Some consider blue room ideas to be cold (and it can be sometimes) but this powerful, punchy shade is anything but; rather it is enlivening in its strength. Use it with a white for crisp simplicity, make it dramatic with darker hues or take it to the Caribbean with pastel tones. It responds beautifully to sunlit rooms but looks equally stunning with low lighting and candlelight.’ 

9. Energize with yellow paint trends

An earthy tobacco shade, this golden hue creates rooms that are rich, warm and inviting throughout the year – and it also allows artwork to pop out from the walls.

'Yellow is a color that evokes happiness and provides a sense of positivity,' says Andy Greenall, head of design, Paint & Paper Library. 'It is perfect for areas of the home where there is much activity and socializing, such as the kitchen and dining room, where it adds energy and vitality.'

It’s easier to incorporate this color into a scheme if you’re slightly put off by bright yellow paint in your home – and is particularly effective in darker, moodier spaces as it creates a feeling of warmth.

10. Ground your space with an earthy brown

Considered a dark neutral, earthy brown living room ideas are grounding but also has an elegance that is truly sophisticated. Versatile, it can be striking on its own or allow other hues to stand proud. 

‘Don’t be scared to use dark colors in a small, gloomy room,' says Natalie Forbes and Louisa Rix, co-founders, Forbes Rix Design. 'It’s never going to look light, so choose a rich color and the effect can be truly transformative.’ 

Mike Fisher, creative director and founder, Studio Indigo agrees: ‘We believe north-facing rooms should be painted a dark or strong color, like brown, to make it more cocooning and those on the south side in lighter colors. The thinking is where you have darkness you should bring color, warmth and joy.’ .

11. Decorate with an easy to live with grey

A grey that straddles the boundaries between blue, green and grey can be many things: front and centre or a background to show off art and objects. Easy to live with, it looks beautiful in west- or south-facing rooms while being suitably moody in spaces with less light. 

‘I love using this sort of color on walls as it allows paintings and portraits to really sing out,' says Anna Haines, founder, Anna Haines Design. 'It feels both calming and quiet and also works as the ideal backdrop for a range of rich textiles, decorative antique rugs and furniture.’ 

12. Exude confidence with color

Mood-lifting and warm, yellow room ideas bring energy, confidence and optimism to a space. It can be used anywhere in the home but is particularly effective in busy spaces, such as hallways and kitchens, or north-facing rooms that lack light.

‘The kitchen, often seen as the heart of the home, is the perfect space to use bolder colors, such as Little Greene’s Giallo, reminiscent of golden sun, which will bring joy and create an energetic scheme,' says Ruth Mottershead, creative director, Little Greene.  

'You can use this to highlight architectural details or pair it with soft greens and whites, such as the new shades Garden and Silent White, both by Little Greene, in the rest of the space, for a more elegant and pared-back scheme.’ 

13. Be inspired by the natural world

Green room ideas, inspired by the natural world, olive is restful with a touch of heritage. Strong yet soothing, it brings an enveloping feel but can also sit quietly and allow bold furniture to shine.

‘This is a wonderful color that works well all through the year and is ideal if you are trying to bring an element of nature or a heritage feel into a more contemporary city home,' says Emma Sims-Hilditch, founder and creative director, Sims Hilditch. 'It’s a restful and calming shade which not only works well on cabinetry but also looks great on walls.’ 

What's more, green is generally considered the best color for a bedroom by paint experts for a calming, sleepy scheme.  

14. Be drawn to the quite sophistication of pink

Pink room ideas the new decorating neutral – it has a natural ability to deliver warmth and interest without overwhelming a space. But choosing the right shade can be a thorny task when you’re faced with everything from soft rose pinks to peachy tones. The key is to pick a serene hue. Enter Potters Pink from Heritage by Dulux, a soft, clay-like shade that brings sophistication to a living space but is subtle enough for a calming bedroom. It complements most colors, but olive greens, rich browns and deep burgundy will truly make it sing.

15. Encourage creativity with purple

Purple room ideas are having something of a moment. Pantone, the global color authority for the design community, has announced a new blue shade, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri, a dynamic periwinkle blue hue with a vivifying violet red undertone as the Pantone Color of the Year selection for 2022.  

Blending the faithfulness and constancy of blue with the energy and excitement of red, this happiest and warmest of all the blue hues introduces an empowering mix of newness.

'As we move into a world of unprecedented change, the selection of Very Peri brings a novel perspective and vision of the trusted and beloved blue color family,' says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute. 

'Encompassing the qualities of the blues, yet at the same time possessing a violet-red undertone, Very Peri displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression.'

What colors will trend in 2022?

The colors that will trend in 2022 are noted to create calm and serenity – or evoke creativity and optimism. Pantone, the global color authority for the design community, has announced that purple and blue paint will play a huge role in our decorating choices. But while this vivid color is set to be pivotal, we also noticed many paint companies opting for more subdued neutral color palettes. Think taupes, beige and soft pinks.

For 2023 it's all about colors that make you feel good. Forget being on-trend really, the trend is to just go with what you love, create rooms filled with colors that reflect your personal style, and give you an uplift every time you enter them. Experiment with shades too, after all it's just paint, it's the easiest low-commitment update you can make to a home so don't hold back from trying something you've wanted to see in situ for years. 2023 is the time to do it. 

'There is something inherently human in the colors that we are attracted to now,' says Joa Studholme, Farrow & Ball’s color curator. 'Décor is moving forward while drawing inspiration from the modest character of the world of folk and craft, using five significant shades that extol the virtues of a simple life and can be used in any combination and in any room.'

'They are an eclectic mix of the pure and the humble that evokes the warmth and harmony of a more innocent age while celebrating life today. Function goes hand in hand with ornament, using colors and finishes in unusual ways to celebrate the principles of utility, kindness, and honesty.'

And there's also a feeling that we aren't playing it as safe anymore. You'll see that grey and cream and white aren't as apparent as they once were, instead, there are more energetic shades like pinks and yellows and even red has recently made a renaissance in the world of interior design trends.  

The biggest color trends for 2023

1. Jade

Touches of this jewel tone are popping up in interiors across the world. Pale blues and greens inspired by the natural color of the gem itself are increasingly popular and can be applied to both tranquil and striking aesthetics depending on how it is used. 

“Jade works well as the lead color in a modern bedroom or bathroom,” comments Ruth Webber, the Creative Director at Bert & May . “It has an air of coastal chic and pairs well with neutrals and terracotta for an understated scheme.” 

2. Honeyed Yellows

(Image credit: Bert and May)

“We have noticed a growing popularity for muted, pastel colors,” states Clara Ewart, interior designer, and Head of Design at Kitesgrove. “Soft pastels are versatile and easy to incorporate in a myriad of schemes. Earthy yellow and orange tones are not only easy to style but feel incredibly current.” 

Injecting small pops of the color initially can help build confidence before adding it to the wall. In modern bathrooms and kitchens, matching tonal shades on the tiles and walls brings cohesion to the space. 

3. Lavender

(Image credit: Mylands)

Our love for purple is back again, with Mylands claiming that searches for lilac is up by 33% on its website, not to mention WGSN’s prediction of Digital Lavender being the colorr of the year for 2023. 

Seen across fashion and interiors, shades of purple have previously been associated with wealth and royalty and, while many might associate it with a traditional interior scheme, designers are incorporating it into fresh, contemporary aesthetics bringing a new dynamic to the color.

4. Fuchsia pink

(Image credit: Mylands)

Some are calling it ‘Barbiecore’, but hot pinks have been working their way back into homes for a while, with our love for maximalist interiors increasing and social media instilling confidence into homeowners to experiment more with their colour choices. “This shade makes a strong statement when used as the main colour in a room,” states Mylands’ CEO, Dominic Mylands.  

“If you aren’t sure about using it on the walls, try it on smaller areas such as woodwork, kitchen cabinetry or even a front door to introduce characterful colour without dominating the space.” 

When applying to woodwork, a gloss paint finish can add extra drama to the overall effect. 

5. Green and Orange combined

(Image credit: Colors of Arley)

Green has been a firm favorite in the home for several years, however, there are certain shades which are increasing in popularity such as pine, pistachio, and all the colors that go with sage greens. While green works well on its own, pairing it with orange is bringing interior schemes to life and adding a playfully retro feel to the space. 

As seen in this image, with fabrics by Colors of Arley , this color combination injects energy and brings fun, happiness and vitality to the home. “Don’t forget to refer to the 60-30-10 rule when you’re decorating to ensure you achieve balance,” advises Louisa Tratalos, the founder of Colors of Arley. “For example, opt for 60% of the room in green, 30% in your chosen orange and 10% in an accent, such as a soft cream to allow the main colors to do the talking.”

6. Warm Beige

(Image credit: Lick x Soho Home)

Our love for neutrals has returned, especially in bedroom trends, as it helps create a restful ambiance and a sanctuary to escape in. Warm and earthy creams work well paired with soft terracotta or deep red tones, adding depth to the room. 

Beige 02 by Lick x Soho Home is a great colour for this trend and has a rustic, yet refined, aesthetic. Remember, with neutral schemes, layers of texture bring tactility and interest to create a distinguished feel within the space. 

7. Dark Chocolate Brown

(Image credit: Edward Bulmer)

Yes, brown is back. And it’s looking better than ever! With brown often perceived as drab or boring, designers and stylists are helping us to view the color in a new light. Bringing an earthy, yet sophisticated, tone to any interior, brown living rooms are full of drama.  

“Being polychromatic, brown goes with everything but in deeper hues it is particularly good at flattering beautiful, well-drawn patterns. I would even suggest that more people will find how useful brown is as a wall paint in support of clever colours in the artworks and furnishings,” says Edward Bulmer when discussing the brands own color, London Brown . “It puts everything else in a good light. It is strong and warm but somehow respectful to other colors regardless of weight or shade. I love its sophistication and I feel it might just be time for deep browns to enjoy a well-deserved resurgence!”

8. Deep Red

(Image credit: Graphenstone)

Deep, earthy reds are having a revival thanks to the intensity of hues from paint experts such as Graphenstone . A brand new color for the brand, the Carnelian shade by Graphenstone has an opulence which elevates any interior and works exceptionally well with period features and detailing. 

Paired here with two different colors: Old Lilac for a soothing and comforting atmosphere or Cerulean Blue for a bolder, vivid, and striking statement. When combined with complementing colours, reds such as this work well in a variety of spaces and rooms. 

9. Paprika

The terracotta trend morphs into paprika, and we are glad it’s here to stay. This year, think of vibrant versions of the color to really make your home stand out. 

Blending different shades of paprika together creates a beautifully tonal look and, when set against neutral fabrics and linens, it comes together in a cohesive, sophisticated aesthetic. Caravan 453 by Paint & Paper Library is a gorgeous option for this style and brings the room to life. 

10. Sunlit Yellows with Black Accents

With yellows firmly on trend for 2023, pairing brighter tones of the color with black accents in a monochromatic style is a great way to embrace the look. 

Colors such as yellow are helping to bring joy and happiness into the heart of the home. Matt black fixtures, fittings and furniture allows the color to pop, as shown here with Giallo 337 by Little Greene .  

11. Warm summery tones

There has been a rise in uplifting shades this year (unsurprisingly). Yellows, tangerines, pale purples and baby pinks, which once may have sounded a bit saccharine are all seeping into interiors in a very sophisticated, grown-up way. In their more muted forms there are in fact surprisingly liveable shades even when used on four walls. 

'There are several colors that stand out to me, when I think of upcoming trends for 2022, and these include pinks, oranges, lavenders, purples, and greens.' says designer and master of color Yinka Ilori .  'Many of us have struggled to experience a proper summer, or to go on holiday this year, so people are tending to opt for richer tones that inject positivity and warmth into their homes - bringing that summer feeling inside. As an artist, I’ve always loved color and I’m glad to see how people are using it more and more to enrich their home environments.'

12. Rich blues

Blue comes into color trends every year, just taking a slightly different form. It's such a grounding, a familiar color that there's so surprise we are drawn to it year after year, and this year it's deep blues that are looking to be the most on-trend. And it's about really embracing the darker shades, not just bringing it into a neutral space with furniture, or a feature wall but going all over with an inky shade to create a dramatic and cocooning room.

'The boldness and warmth found in blue will continue to be prominent in our homes. Darker colors form a much better background for paintings and artworks than white, which art galleries and museums have discovered.' says Martin Waller, Founder of Andrew Martin . 'Having painted a room blue, it may take time to accustom yourself to the look. You're likely to be horrified. People find it difficult to cope with change. Leave it for a week and your feelings will alter. I suspect you won't hate it and if you do, repainting isn't that difficult. If you are still hesitant, start your transformation in a cloakroom or small bedroom, since richer colors work well in such spaces, despite the accepted wisdom that white paint makes a room seem larger. '

13. Deep jewel shades

(Image credit: Little Greene)

Dark and stormy is still up there when it comes to color trends. This time used
on staircases, feature windows or woodwork to bring elegant definition to a space. A deep plum or black with a red undertone makes for a warmer and more striking alternative to the popular deep charcoal greys and blue-blacks. It adds warmth to cooler palettes, and pairs beautifully with pink and nude tones. 

14. Baby pinks paired with teal greens

The unusual color pairing that is hot pink and forest green is unmissable seen everywhere right now across walls, homeware and even daringly kitchens like this viral kitchen combination. Green and pink are complementary colors as they sit opposite each other on the traditional color wheel and enhance each other and are far less contrasting than green and red.

15. Neutral stone hues

'The neutral trend continues subtly away from cold greys and traditional creams, towards warmer neutral stone tones. This trend is all about creating warm cocooning spaces that feel intimate, inviting and familiar with consumers embracing warmer, more natural colors.' explains Ruth Mottershead, Creative Director at Little Greene.

'Earthy, stonier tones alongside soft welcoming greens are becoming increasingly popular, providing a restful alternative to cooler choices. These gentle neutrals can be used in all areas of the home adding warmth as well as a sophisticated, complementary canvas for fabrics, wallcoverings, and furnishings from all genres.'

16. Bold hued furniture

(Image credit: Future / Damien Russel)

If bright colors spark joy for you - but going bold on the walls feels too much - choose strong colors on furniture pieces instead. This is a really easy way to create impact without color overpowering the space.  

A color that we love right now, and is back a sure comeback this year, is a primary red. It's bright but the clean notes in the red makes it feel vintage and therefore timeless amongst modern interiors.

17. Pistachio

(SPRIG I 701, SPRIG III 703, SPRIG IV 704, SPRIG V 705 by Paint and Paper Library)

This soft, pastel green hue is the shade thats everybody’s going nuts for! With our love for green in the home continuing, thanks to its warmth and earthy ambience, homeowners and designers are opting for lighter and more subtle shades as an alternative to neutral and off-white colors. 

Pairing different greens together in one space, as shown here by Paint and Paper Library with the darker Sprig hues, is a great way to embrace the color with the tones complementing each other in a cohesive manner. Go green, go pistachio green.

90,000 fashionable colors in the interiors of 2022

07.26.2022

The color palette in the interior of the apartment is of paramount importance for the perception of the whole design. It is the colors, not the furniture, that set the main focus. In 2022, the trends impress with the beauty of neutral or deep shades that are perfect for any room or stylistic decision - the choice is almost unlimited. This article presents fashionable color trends for the design of residential interiors for 2022.

Acid and unnatural colors are out of fashion - in 2022 they are irrelevant!

Model: Cremona 2

Caramel, beige, gold

Neutral warm or cold shades hold positions for several years, as they are considered optimal for all styles.

Caramel

Softness and warmth, reminiscent of sea sand or sweets - these are the associations that arise when looking at the design of a home where caramel colors predominate. The whole color palette is relevant - from a cold, almost white shade, to a rich warm one.

Suitable for use in almost all rooms and in many variants. How to use in the interior of 2022:

Model: Invisible

Caramel shades are controversial for the bathroom. There is an opinion that they make the room too "heavy".

Beige

A versatile color that creates a neutral yet soft feel. The color palette is huge - you need to individually select a shade for each room.

Beige is not just popular in 2022. They can be the main color of any of the rooms and are great for small apartments and all rooms.

Model: Avesta

You can make the whole room in a beige palette if you combine the shades correctly. Colors should not “merge” - alternate light with dark, and cold with warm.

Gold

These colors are relevant only as inclusions, decor or small details in the room. For example, a trendy solution is the use of daylight handles in golden color, faucets. Gold-plated wallpaper or decorative plaster with a small amount of shiny warm sheen is acceptable.

Massive chandeliers with golden fittings will beautifully complement the living room in neoclassical design. If the design of the room allows, furniture fabrics can also be supplemented with a small amount of “gold”.

Model: Flex 1 Molding Gold

A bit of a gold palette suits all rooms, but moderation must be observed.

Black and white

These colors are always considered trendy, but in 2022 their use is gradually reaching a new level.

Black

Depth and versatility - this is how you can characterize this mysterious color. And if a few years ago black was used only as a quality, for example, black doors, baseboards, lighting fixtures or small decor were allowed, now you can expand the scope.

2022 trends allow for interiors with black walls, furniture and flooring. You can make a large black wall indoors - it will be a stylish accent, especially in the living room or bedroom.

Where and how else can black be used in the interior:

Model: Linewood 1

Do not use a black palette for children.

White

The most versatile color. It can be dazzling or soft milky, but its use is relevant for absolutely all rooms, rooms of any size and purpose. Softer shades are suitable for decorating children's rooms, classic white is ideal for the kitchen, living room, bathroom or toilet.

White furniture is applicable everywhere - in the bedroom, in the kitchen or in the nursery. A white hallway will be no less fashionable than a dazzling bathroom, in which this particular color is associated with cleanliness and visually enlarges a small space.

White walls are a classic. Any room will seem more spacious with white walls. Such solutions are applicable to all interior styles and are at the peak of popularity in 2022.

Model: Aurum 1

All shades of gray

Neutral colors have been holding the lead in interior fashion for a long time. The gray palette is more relevant than ever - almost all design stylistic decisions use these shades. It is worth noting that absolutely all shades are fashionable. You can use both anthracite gray and gray-white colors - everything and in any quantity is acceptable.

Gray furniture suitable for all rooms. Even a nursery can be safely decorated with an anthracite bed or a wardrobe - in a bright room, such furniture will look stylish and contrasting.

Model: Lamira 1

Delicate pastel

Mint, blue, soft pink or beige-lilac - these colors set the trends for 2022 and are used to decorate all living rooms. You can choose the optimal tone for furniture or flooring by decorating the walls in any of the shades of this spectrum.

Designers recommend pastel colors in the design of the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or nursery.

Model: Libra 1

Pastel colors do not create contrast and are not considered accents.

Blue and green

Natural colors are popular and in demand, due to which the fashion does not work for them. In 2022, you can and should include blue and green shades in the interior - your apartment will be not only modern, but also original.

Blue

The feeling of freshness and coolness is great for decorating the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or toilet. In these rooms, the use of blue shades in almost any quantity is acceptable. Children's or living room "love" blue in moderation - for example, in the form of decor, textiles or upholstered furniture.

Model: French 8

Green

The color is associated with spring, greenery and freshness. Therefore, if you need the perception of the interior in a similar vein, then do not give up on the green palette. Optimal use of green is provided in accents and details, but bold solutions are acceptable in the form of completely green walls in the hallway or a kitchen set in the color of lush grass.

It is the emerald shade that is still relevant. It is applicable for contrasting walls, decor, countertops or bathrooms.

Model: Inari

Acid green or poison green are not trendy.

Other trendy interior colors for 2022

Mineral . Your interior will look unusual and universal with the use of such colors. This refers to all shades of iron, lead, other metals or semi-precious stones. The entire palette fits in with a range of other trendy colors such as white opal or brown rust. Natural minerals can be used in their original form as a decoration or as an imitation. That is, lead-colored walls, emerald textiles, white furniture, and so on are relevant.

Red . In this case, it is desirable to observe moderation. The red palette is acceptable only in the form of small details or decor, which dilute "boring" neutral interiors. It is acceptable to design a bathroom in red or a bathroom. Household appliances for the kitchen are also relevant and can successfully complement a dark or light small room.

Yellow . All natural shades are acceptable without acidity and unnaturalness. The use of yellow in the interior is considered a bold decision and is suitable for individual accents - textiles, decor, lighting in the nursery.

Violet . Your apartment will be fashionable and beautiful if you properly decorate the interior in such a tone. Purple is perfect for loft, hi-tech, art deco or classic.

Silver . Here the application is similar to the golden color. Inclusions, accents or decoration in small quantities are acceptable.

Note!

All natural colors are trending in 2022.

Model: Slide

The most relevant are neutrals, especially white and black. Brightness remains at the following positions. This article describes all the trend colors of 2022, as well as their application for urban interiors. The entire list presented can be used to decorate apartments, regardless of the style of the room.

Cream Butter Cream - A light beige shade with yellowish undertones, perfect for decorating rooms with north-facing windows or just where there is not enough sun.

In addition to finishing, cream is suitable for upholstery of upholstered furniture and textiles - coupled with tactilely pleasant fabrics, you will get an even more comfortable and at the same time elegant atmosphere.

What to combine with

Since creamy beige has a pronounced warm undertone, combine it with any colors that match it in color temperature. You can use neutrals (like light gray or pure white), but don't go into obvious coldness - such a contrast will look unnatural and break the harmony of the palette.

By itself, olive also varies: from deep green to almost yellow, like butter. It is associated with stability and at the same time optimism, freshness, novelty. For a neutral interior, choose lighter and more diluted tones. Olive green can be walls, a kitchen set, accent furniture (for example, a sofa in the living room or a closet in the hallway), decor. Best suited for eco-style, contemporary, boho, neoclassical.

Angelic White

This is a soft and warm version of white with yellowish beige undertones.

It will be especially relevant for small apartments with a small number of windows, as it visually expands the space and fills the room with light. It can be taken as the basis of a palette in any style: from classic to scandi and minimalism. So that the interior does not look too “sterile”, it is better to dilute it with more saturated colors.

What to pair with

Like other achromats, white goes well with any shades. But just as in the case of cream, it is important to select partners according to temperature. Matches:

If you prefer rich and active colors, bright colors in the interior are also in trend in 2022.

Periwinkle

Project ON Design Lab

Speaking of what color is in fashion now, in 2022 it will certainly be Veri Peri (otherwise it is called periwinkle). A rather rich and deep shade of purple appeared quite recently - it was created at the Pantone Institute and immediately proclaimed the color of the year. You can use it in different ways: from decor to finishing materials. But since this tone is complex, and violet in the interior is, in principle, treated with caution, it is better to start with local solutions: for example, lay a set of bed linen in the bedroom or paint part of the wall in periwinkle - the color block is now just in trend.

Malachite is a trendy color in the interior-2022

Multifaceted green is unlikely to ever go out of fashion, but this year we recommend bright variations take a closer look at the natural colors of precious stones.

Unlike olive or herbal, malachite has a blue undertone. This is a cool version of green that looks luxurious and elegant, visually making any interior more expensive. It feels good on any pronounced textures: stone imitation, leather, velvety fabric, embossed wallpaper, decorative panels, etc. Most often it is used locally: for furniture, textiles or decor. If you love a bright finish, for example, choose malachite for one accent wall.

Matching

Choose other colors based on the color temperature of this variation of green. Suitable:

Deep Blue

Although blue is often viewed with suspicion (believed to be dreary and blues in large quantities), it is one of the hottest colors in 2022.

Social networks of designer Evgenia Matveenko

Choose deep natural tones: ocean waters, stormy seas, clear skies or pre-storm clouds. The best option is to use blue as an accent: for example, in decor or textiles. You can use this color in decoration, but it is better to do it locally so that the room does not have an oppressive and gloomy atmosphere. Be sure to dilute it with lighter and more refreshing tones that will add air to the interior and balance the dense blue tone.

What to combine with

The most successful combinations will be prompted by nature itself. Assembling the palette, focus on natural landscapes. So, blue will organically complement:

Sunny yellow

The easiest way to cheer yourself up and bring bright colors into your home is to add a rich yellow tint to the interior.

Social networks of blogger Roseberry Home

At its peak this year, the natural warm version, reminiscent of warming sunlight, is something that is now especially lacking. Such yellow is suitable for any room, whether it is a small kitchen, a nursery or a bathroom. You can use it as you like: in decoration, for furniture or decor. If you want to make yellow walls, you should first check the color on the paints so that it looks in life the way you intended.
