It's the time of year when everyone is thinking about new beginnings, so for those longing to refresh their home, there's never been a better moment to talk paint.
Whether it’s changing all four walls or making a feature of just one, creating a stand out ceiling or simply upcycle a well-worn piece of furniture, a fresh coat of paint can have a huge effect on any space.
Below, we’ve come up with our top five colour trends of 2023 to inspire your next cosmetic renovation project.
Serene Greens
From light sage to olive and contemporary forest and emerald shades, there are so many greens to choose from. Reminding us of the natural world, green offers a relaxed ambience – ideal for bedrooms and relaxing areas.
Pretty Pastels
This sugary sweet trend encompasses the palest of pinks, powdery blues and light lilacs, working perfectly in any area looking for a fresh, playful feel with a hint of femininity.
Minimal Neutrals
Simple yet understated, neutral shades have the ability to warm up any space and offer timeless sophistication and style, whether that’s a living room, bedroom, bathroom or kitchen.
Midnight Blues
Rich shades of navy and indigo offer a cool yet inviting look, often complimented by gold, silver or copper accessories to create a modern feel that’s opulent and immersive. Match with white walls to maximise the size of the space.
Subtle Greys
This contemporary classic has been leading the trends for years, thanks to its subtle versatility. From dark charcoals to pale silvers, there is a shade of grey available to suit every space and style.
