Last year, in 2022, 4 major paint companies selected similar shades of misty green. It felt very peaceful with a return to nature. (We talked about here.) And while we’re still seeing deeper varieties of green going strong, 2023 is looking a lot more vibrant and optimistic.

Ways to Incorporate 2023 Color Trends Into Your Home
Whether you’re looking to transform your space with a big purchase, or just want a touch here and there to switch things up, here are ways to bring in a new color:

Painting the Entire Room, Ceiling or an Accent Wall makes a big difference to any room. The Front Door to your home is also a great way to change the look of the house. Working with paint is one of the easiest, most affordable and biggest ways to transform a space.

(Built In Bookshelf, Floating Shelves, Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanity, Night Stands, Dresser, Side Tables) - Upholstery
(Sofa, Side Chair, Bench Cushion, Headboard) - Wallpaper
(Walls, Accent Wall, Ceiling, Bookshelves, Cabinet Doors)
- Tile
(Flooring, Kitchen Backsplash, Bathroom Floor, Vanity and Shower Walls, Patio) - Bedding and Bath
(Duvet, Sheets, Pillows, Towels, Bathmat, Throw Blanket) - Pillows and Rugs
(On Sofa, Chair, Bed, Window Seat, Area Rugs or Runners) - Drapery
(As a Solid or Pattern) - Lighting
(Electronic Light Fixture, Lamp, Lampshade) - Art and Accessories
SHOP AT HOME
Before you head out searching for something to buy, shop at home first. Move things around. Look in every room, on every bookshelf (maybe even a book cover), in every cupboard and cabinet to find inspiration. You might be surprised at what you find.

Benjamin Moore Introduces Color Trends 2023 Palette
We love how Benjamin Moore worked with electro-funk duo Chromeo to present the 2023 color palette, performed room by room by a beautifully expressive dancer.
They’ve even created a Spotify Playlist for every color that perfectly matches the mood of each shade.

2023 COLOR TREND: Raspberry Blush
Raspberry Blush is an eye-catching bright pink with a touch of coral. Uplifting, exciting, optimistic.
If you’re feeling daring, paint the Living Room, Dining Room Powder Room. For a great first impression and blast of good luck, paint the front door.
TIPS: Avoid bedrooms as red adds heightened energy rather than encourages relaxation.

2023 COLOR TREND: Conch Shell
Conch Shell feels similar to a blush Millennial Pink but more grown up, with a natural dusty clay undertone. Pair with dark greens, deep earthy browns or charcoal black to feel modern and grounded. This shade is perfect for Bedrooms or Dining Rooms because peach reflects beautifully on everyone’s face, especially in dimly lit rooms.

2023 COLOR TREND: Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a perfect neutral that pairs well with everything. We’re seeing less grey and more warm browns, which feel comforting, grounding and earthy. In fact, to warm up a heavily grey space, add some depth with a finish in brown. A medium brown is of course great for flooring, furniture and cabinetry, but also looks fantastic on the walls of a Living Room, Bathroom or Bedroom.

2023 COLOR TREND: Wenge
Wenge is deep, dark and dramatic. Talk about delicious and rich! A chocolatey brown is almost black, with a hint of violet. A perfectly sexy shade that amps up any room, especially a Home Bar, Lounge or a Powder Room. This is your new dark neutral that plays well with any color.

2023 COLOR TREND: Savannah Green
Savannah Green is where we see a mix of Modern and Vintage in any style. With a blend of green and yellow, this mustard ochre works well as a pop of color. Contrast with a cooler deep teal or dark browns.
