1. Renewing Blues
Whether you’re creating a luxe space or a minimal modern oasis, keep relaxing blues in mind. Better Homes and Gardens notes that navy continues to be a popular choice for revamping bedrooms this year, and its rich hue provides a beautiful background for both framed photography and statement paintings. Consider adding a small marble side table, vase, or sculpture for extra elegance.

2. Nature-Inspired Neutrals
When it comes to painting walls, remaining neutral often offers the most flexibility for decorating with art and an eclectic mix of furnishings. If you’re looking to stay away from colder grays, and desire an earthier feel, try Mushroom! According to House Beautiful, this shade pairs well with a range of colors and is predicted to be the next-big favorite for neutral walls.

3. Uplifting Yellows
To exhilarate your entryway or perk up your kitchen and dining nook, go yellow! Sun-tinged walls are shining in both spring fashion and home decor right now. Get this look for yourself with a color like Behr’s Lemon Burst or Sherwin-Williams Bee. Pair yellow walls with live greenery, organic sculpture, natural accents, or bright abstract artwork and prepare to be re-energized!
