Whether you're looking to refresh a space or undertake a whole-home build or remodel, the power of paint is undeniable.
Here are the paint colors we are using and loving in 2024 and beyond:
1. Earth tones: to create grounded and serene spaces
Colors to Watch: Sage Green, Terracotta, Warm Beige and Taupe, Deep Olive
Inspired by nature, Earth-toned paint colors create a calm, serene environment that’s perfect for creating a cozy and grounded space. Sage green and deep olive bring a touch of the outdoors inside, while warm beige and terracotta add a comforting, natural feel.

Office or Mudroom: Consider taupe, terracotta or deep olive to add depth and character.
2. Moody and deep tones to add drama and character
Colors to Watch: Deep shades of green, blue and brown
Color drenching a space in deep/moody shades is one of our favorite design-techniques. Many people think that dark colors will make a small space look smaller; however, these dark and moody shades can create drama and make a space appear larger than it is. Don’t be afraid to paint the ceiling and trim dark too!
How to Use Moody Colors:
Cabinetry and Trim: Cabinetry doesn’t have to be white! Use dark shades to add character and depth.
Furniture: Incorporate deep hues in statement pieces like chairs or rugs for a pop of color.
Complementary Colors: Pair with gold accents and warm wood tones.

For a lighter, more whimsical touch, we. are loving soft pastels, especially for bedrooms. These gentle hues create a serene and inviting environment, perfect for spaces where relaxation is key.

Accent Details: Use pastels in smaller accents like throw pillows or artwork for a fresh, airy feel.
4. Warm Neutrals: to create a timeless and clean look
