Are you putting your home on the market in early 2014 and are looking for staging ideas, thinking of redecorating your home for a more modern look, or just want to refresh the look of your home? Look no further because in this post we're going to be looking at popular color trends for this upcoming year.
Picking colors for your home is ultimately a personal choice- but there's definitely something to be said about uniformity and neutrals when you're looking to sell. Accent pieces and colors are still ever popular, and HGTV's Kelley Walters put it perfectly. She says:
"The housing crisis, ongoing war, historic election and economic downturn have combined to shape Americans' color tastes. We're searching for the color equivalent of mac and cheese: safe, traditional and comforting. But the pops of bright colors, from crimson to acid yellow, suggest that we're ultimately hopeful about the future."
This living room is an excellent example of a neutral color palette with accents. The grey, cream, and dark brown in complimented with the orange in the flowers on the ottoman and mantle.
Here's some other examples of beautiful neutral palettes:
Popular accent colors we've seen lately are bright yellows and greens, and dark wine-colored purples. Chocolate brown is on the way out, but brown is "...still the go-to color in nearly every industry, from auto manufacturing to fashion to home." Camel, tans, and other lighter browns are very fashionable right now.
Gray is still the number one neutral- and for good reason! It goes with pretty much everything.
Other great accents that are becoming part of the "in crowd" include pinks and reds of all shades, as well as gold and orange.
What do you think of neutral color palettes?
