CHOOSING A great colour scheme often frightens people because they know they are going to have to live with whatever scheme they use in their new home.
But our design team draws inspiration from the world’s best. Check out these examples from House Beautiful magazine.
Inner Glow
Sunny rooms are trending again. “Yellows, from pale butters to dark mustard, are cropping up everywhere,” says Stephanie Piece, MasterBrand Cabinets’ director of design and trends. Carry it from the walls to the furniture, like this suburban kitchen by Lindsey Coral Harper.
Courtyard Green
Deep emerald isn’t going anywhere. “This bluegrass green is on the floors of Monticello — and at my 1688 country home,” says designer Jeffrey Bilhuber. “It’s a color steeped in history, but also of the moment. To me, that’s perfection.”
Oval Room Blue
The presidential election may be over, but the Oval Room can inspire change in more ways than one. “I call this blue my miracle worker — nothing bests it if you need fast drama,” says designer Lauren McGrath. No wonder this shade looks right at home in our kitchen of the year.
Stone White
If sunlight is hard to come by, fake it via paint color. “Not every room can have a dozen windows. When there’s only one, like in the dining room of this Spanish-style home, you have to emphasize it,” says designer Christine Markatos Lowe.
Mushroom
Mushroom is the next it-neutral, Country Living predicts. Try it in the bedroom if you want a zen getaway. According to designer Erin Martin, "This beige may be neutral, but I swear it has medicinal, calming qualities.
Dusk
Fact: You can never have too much blue. “Although this blue is about as scary as a Smurf, it frightened my clients,” says Melanie Turner. “Fully committing to the color for the cabinets and the walls was the trick to changing their minds.”
