Watch Out, For These Paint Color trends in 2017

It is the end of the year and a paint season for many, with occasions and festivals like the festival of lights ‘Deepawali’ (in India), Christmas and New Year all over the world, just round the corner. Here is a roundup of some colors selected bound to trend in the year 2017 and beyond.

When we select colors, they must make a connection with us. With a growing rainbow of choices, making a choice is difficult. There are several things we see in a color like nuances, touch, feel.

We tend to use colors that rescue our walls, share, allow us an escape into a different world, intensify, pop, blend or clash colors, features a wall.
Subtle nuances of shades and tones are now seen keenly, where Off-white has been replaced by Beige, Cream, Chalk.

Colors have become more than just visual, wherein we now want to touch and feel the colors warming our souls, enveloping our senses. The texture of the paints is now glossy or matte.

Browns have emerged as more earthy, rich bronzed hues. Washed blues and dusky nudes are nostalgic, while nature has a great impact on color choices.

We want nature to beautify the inside of our houses since we spend more time indoors; greens and blues from the color palette are growing. The other colors inspired by nature are the sunsets and sunrise, flowers blooming in the garden; colors that fill us with hope and ecstasy.

If you love grey, add a touch of blue for a timeless look, or silver or slate shades. Add intense colors to feature a wall, ceiling or an area striking, strong, bold colors with freehand paint design or color block effect, or bold saturated colors.

Painting colors on walls are old; paint table legs, ceilings, blocks in the cupboard, take a step towards creativity. Colors never seen together will now feature as partners, time to break all color partnering rules.

If you are afraid of getting it wrong, simply choose to repeat color schemes as they assist in narrowing down the options. Take time to choose your colors, fashion a new color and add some freshness to your home.
