The colors we surround ourselves with directly impact our emotions. Choosing the right dining room paint color or the best pop for living room paint colors can make all the difference in uplifting the mood of any space. And after two rather tumultuous years, more and more design enthusiasts are turning to colors to liven up their homes and create spaces of inspiration. 2022 is the year for new beginnings, and shades that embody this sense of rejuvenation will skyrocket in popularity this upcoming year.
For those color enthusiasts looking for inspiration, here are the shades and tones that are expected to dominate in 2022.

Earthy neutrals and nature-inspired green shades are going to be skyrocket to popularity in 2022 as people yearn to bring a sense of nature into their homes. Shades of green are on the rise from sage to deeper tones.  If you’re looking for the perfect balance of boldness and versatility in your interior spaces, green is certainly for you. You can always count on a rich shade of green to evoke the calming, enveloping spirit of the great outdoors.

2022 is the year for gray-green color. This sophisticated hue symbolizes balance and harmony often seen in the natural world. The soft green shades gives just enough vibrancy to the space while complementing its surrounding greenery. This subtle hue is enough to be used in many ways throughout the home such as colorful welcome in the entry or a feature wall in living room. Just like this living room design, here the grey-green painted feature wall paired with walls in lighter hues is creating a quiet harmonized look.

We are loving the mixed-use of black and grey hues. Instead of always using traditional black, try to add a twist by utilizing colors such as deep and dark greys. The use of dark hues can be incorporated into interiors anywhere from dark terrazzo floors to dark walls or doors and cabinets. This monochromatic design element incorporates a sensuous sophistication when blended with neutral furnishings and textiles adding a bold, yet classic aesthetic to any design.

Despite brighter color scope in 2022, warm, neutral color palettes are having a moment as well. Along with bringing warmth and versatility to a space, a neutral paint palette can instantly make a room feel cozy, comforting, and inviting. Consider a rich neutral for a high-traffic area of your home, like this living room, for a versatile shade that will work with a variety of decor styles while creating a more inviting ambiance.
