Pastels dominate this year’s home interior color palette
As homeowners prepare to spring into a variety of home improvement projects, paint experts are predicting that soft pastels will dominate this year蘑菇视频 interior color palette with accents of vibrant corals, greens, and blues.
According to DIY Home Design Ideas, some of the top interior paint schemes for 2015 include Mediterranean blues paired with olive green, rustic greens, reds and plum colors paired with dark charcoal black, or pastel mixtures with shocks of neon accent colors.
Karen Jobes, owner of Jobes Painting of Uniontown, said people are opting for neutral backgrounds and adding bold elements for pop.
Jobes further added that people are choosing variations of grey and brown tones for their walls as well as whites and off whites, which create a calm, soothing atmosphere in a room.
鈥淧eople are looking for a place to relax and feel comfortable,鈥� said Jobes.
For the most part, Jobes said a lot of customers are requesting different shades of grey and softer blues and greens.
Some also tend to create a monochromatic color scheme throughout their home.
While Jobes anticipates yellow to be a new interior paint color this year, she said blues are making a huge comeback.
The color of the year selected for interior hues by leading paint companies include Blue Paisley from PPG Pittsburgh Paints, Coral Reef from Sherwin-Williams, Guilford Green from Benjamin Moore, and Seared Gray from Behr.
If a remodeling project is on the list, DIY House Design recommends incorporating interior painting designs into each room of the house.
Adding small patterns or designs to each wall to create a focal point for the area is another option.
A pattern on the wall can provide a great visual stimulant to plain fabrics and furniture by drawing your eye to that particular area of the room, DIY further stated.
Pantone Color Institute, a global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, selected Marsala as its color of the year that was described as a 鈥渘aturally robust and earthy wine red.鈥�
For the most part, Jobes said furniture and other elements in the room will impact wall color.

Jobes added that people tend to change wall color the most prior to the holiday gatherings and before spring.
