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

“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

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

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

(Image credit: Paint and Paper Library)

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.

Color value


Whether we realize it or not, colors have a certain impact on our entire lives.
Usually we intuitively look for the color we need. If we feel tired in the morning, we involuntarily choose clothes in warm and vibrant colors - orange, yellow or red. Subtly sensitive people choose colors most accurately. These are usually women, as men are more socially bound and often suppress the urge to wear clothes of the desired color.

Marketers are well aware of how colors affect customers. For example, in those cafes where they want customers to linger less for food so that more visitors pass, there are always a lot of bright colors such as yellow and red. At the same time, soft color tones and subdued lights can be found in restaurants where they are interested in keeping customers longer.

The primary colors are red, blue and yellow, and the secondary colors are green, orange and purple.

Red - the color of life, sun, fire. It evokes opposite feelings - love and hate, joy and anger. He is the most conspicuous. It is believed to stimulate circulation. Red - the color of the heart, lungs and muscles; it makes a person talkative, excites and intensifies emotions - all revolutionary flags are certainly red. It makes the lazy more active.

Blue color brings a sense of peace and infinity, relaxes a person. This cold light affects the endocrine system, our reactions to stress, relaxation (relaxation), as well as the body's defense system against infections and allergies.

Yellow symbolizes the midday sun and has a stimulating effect. To a greater extent, it is perceived by the left hemisphere of the brain, its "intellectual" half, and can have a positive impact on learning and acquiring professional skills. Yellow improves the mood of people who are always dissatisfied with something.

Green is the most common color in our European nature. It has a calming effect, and therefore a walk among the greenery is often extremely healing.

Orange represents joy and happiness. It has a beneficial effect on a person who suffers from depression or is prone to excessive pessimism. People who wake up in the morning already tired, dissatisfied and won’t utter a word until they drink a cup of coffee, their mood completely changes if they look at the world through orange glass for at least a few minutes after waking up.

Violet color is always associated with spirituality. It acts on the subconscious and helps a person to know himself, enhancing the effect of meditation. If you put on purple glasses and go to a crowded place, you can be sure that no one will even come close to you. And if you want to moderate your appetite, put on purple glasses when you sit down at the table. Dishes in purple look very unappetizing.

Turquoise color is something that connects the outer and inner sides of our lives. The therapeutic (healing) effect when using this color is often manifested in the fact that there is a feeling of relaxation, liberation and well-being.

The simplest experience will help you understand how different colors affect you. It is necessary to hang multi-colored transparent strips on the window and look through each for several minutes. Soon you will understand which color is especially pleasant for you, and which one is unpleasant at this moment.
There are several types of color effects on a person, but we will consider the physical and psychological.

Physical influence refers to the effect of color on the functional systems of the human body. Red and blue colors have the brightest ability to do this, especially at maximum saturation.

Red color excites the nervous system, activates all the functions of the body, increases muscle tension for a short time, causes rapid breathing and pulse.
Yellow color - physiologically the most optimal, least tiring, stimulates vision and nervous system;
Green color - the most familiar color for the organ of vision, for a long time increases motor-muscular activity, reduces blood pressure and dilates capillaries, soothes and relieves muscle and headaches;
Blue color - soothes, reduces muscle tension and blood pressure, calms the pulse and slows down the rhythm of breathing;
Blue color - has a calming effect, which turns into a depressing one. It inhibits the functions of all physiological systems of the body.
Violet color - combines the effect of red and blue, makes a depressing impression.
Red, yellow, orange are extraversion colors, ie. give rise to an outward impulse.
Blue, violet, green - introverted, their impulses are turned inward.
orange and red along with the visual excite the auditory center of the brain, this causes an apparent increase in the volume of noise (for example, a police "flashing light" with a siren). No wonder these active colors are often called flashy.
Green and Blue , soothing colors, weaken the excitation of the auditory center, i.e. as if to reduce the volume of noise.
Tan seems dry, greenish blue damp, pink sugary...
This effect of color cannot be explained by associations (autumn yellow-brown leaves, etc. ). It is caused by synesthesia, i.e. stimulation of one sense organ while stimulating another. For example, the following main characteristics of the apparent effect of colors are found:1684 Twilight over the sea.
Only the cries of wild ducks in the distance
Vaguely turn white.
(Matsuo Basho)

It's raining in May.
And the wind in the plum leaves
turned green freshly.
(Saimaro)

But it is obvious that colors have a much stronger effect on our physiology and psyche through the mechanism of associations.

Color associations occupy an extremely important place in human life. It has been like this since time immemorial, and perhaps for an ancient person the language of flowers was much more eloquent than for us today. Warriors, with their combat attire, sought to cause excitement and fear; priests, decorating the victims with flowers and gilding - reverence, delight, ecstasy; kings dressed in gold and precious stones - trembling and trembling, a sense of their own insignificance among subjects; and colorful mats and bright decoration of dwellings helped people switch from work to rest and family joys.

PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF COLOR

Here we will talk about feelings, experiences that we can experience under the influence of a particular color.

Absolutely green is the most calm color. It does not move anywhere and has neither an overtone of joy nor sadness. It is this complete lack of movement that has a beneficial effect on a tired psyche, but it can also become boring over time. When yellow is introduced into the green color, it revives, becomes more active. When blue is added, on the contrary, it starts to sound more muffled, becomes more serious, thoughtful.

Yellow color worries a person, “pricks”, excites, activates his state.

Blue tends to deepen. The deeper, darker the blue color becomes, the stronger it calls to the infinite, awakens a hunger for purity and the supersensible. A very dark blue gives an element of peace. Brought to the limits of black - acquires an overtone of sadness. Becoming, on the contrary, bright, it becomes distant and indifferent, like a blue sky. And the lighter is even stronger, the blue becomes more and more silent until it reaches complete silent rest, becoming white.

White color is a symbol of the world, in which all colors, all material properties disappear. Therefore, it acts on our psyche as silence. But this silence is not dead, but, on the contrary, full of possibilities.

Black the color is really silence without a future.
The balance of white and black gives birth to gray. Naturally, the gray color can not give any movement or sound. Gray is soundless and motionless, but this immobility is of a different nature than that of green, born of two active colors - yellow and blue. Therefore gray color is inconsolable immobility.

Red we perceive as an invariably warm color, as lively, restless, but not having, however, the frivolity of yellow and, unlike the latter, as if glowing within itself.

Violet color is like chilled red, so it sounds a bit sickly, like something extinguished and sad.
The choice of color preferences (favorite color) depends on many factors: temperament, character of a person, family traditions, etc. Foreign scientists, as a result of numerous studies, have come to the conclusion that preference for colors is biologically innate.
Children under the age of 1 year, regardless of race and place of residence, show the same preferences: they prefer red, orange and yellow to green, blue and purple.

Among adults, the colors are distributed according to their popularity as follows (as preference decreases):1695 - brown - black .

In conclusion, it remains to report one more interesting detail regarding color preference. Specialists subdivide colors into groups A and B:
The colors of group A - simple, clean, bright, contrasting in combination -
- act as strong active stimuli and meet the needs of people with a healthy, restless nervous system.

These are mainly children, adolescents, youth, rural residents and manual laborers, people with an ebullient temperament and an open, direct nature.
