Home Color Trends For 2026
Home Color Trends For 2026
If you’re thinking about refreshing your home in the coming year, color is one of the most impactful (and fun!) ways to transform a space. According to Sherwin-Williams’ 2026 color-mixed trend forecast, we’re seeing a beautiful blend of emotional renewal and timeless style—perfect for today’s homeowners.
Their forecast introduces four distinct color families, each designed to evoke a feeling and set the tone for how you experience your home.
1. Frosted Tints
Frosted tints are all about softness and serenity. Think milky lavender, soft mint, gauzy blue, and airy green. These delicate pastels are ideal for creating a calm, sunlit atmosphere and work beautifully in spaces where you want to unwind—like living rooms, bathrooms, or light-filled kitchens.
These shades feel fresh without being overwhelming and are perfect if you love a subtle, soothing palette.
2. Sunlit Neutrals & Light-Filled Hues
This family leans into brightness and warmth, enhancing natural light and making rooms feel open and inviting. These tones are especially well-suited for homes with great windows or open floor plans, where color can gently enhance the space rather than dominate it.
3. Restorative Dark Shades
For those who love a little drama, restorative dark shades are making a strong statement in 2026. Deep burgundy, shadowy gold, rich plum, and classic navy tones bring depth, comfort, and sophistication.
These colors are perfect for more intimate spaces like bedrooms, dining rooms, or cozy family rooms—anywhere you want to create a warm, enveloping atmosphere.
4. Foundational Neutrals (Beyond Gray)
And finally, foundational neutrals are evolving. These are not your standard grays—and yes, we’re happily moving on from “Agreeable Gray.” Instead, these neutrals offer warmth, depth, and timeless appeal while still feeling modern and elevated.
They’re ideal for homeowners who want longevity in their design choices without sacrificing style.
Choosing the Right Color for Your Home
With so many beautiful options, the key is choosing a shade that doesn’t just look good—but creates the feeling you want in your home. Whether you’re craving calm, comfort, energy, or elegance, the right color can truly transform how a space feels.
If you’re feeling inspired but unsure where to start, I’m always happy to help—and I can also connect you with a trusted professional to bring your vision to life.
