It is the standard advice from a sales professional to paint a home in neutral colors to facilitate an easy resale. But what about your enjoyment of your home while you live there? Paint is a quick and inexpensive way to update your home and it is easily changed. There are buyers who find "Builder Beige" cold and off-putting. So if you would like to know what the key color trends will be in 2011, here are some predictions covered in Benjamin Moore's ColorPulse web conference:
Farm- colors influenced by nature. Whites will be creamier, butter yellows and green will remain popular. Earthy brown will replace cooler gray tones as the neutral.
Order- a sort of return to minimalism with strong graphic design in monochrome, primaries, or black and white with a hit of color.
Escape- influenced by fantasy and lush digital worlds. Satin, pearl, frosty finishes in fairytale or dreamy shades.Think pink!
Tribe- rich spicy tones of orange, berry, brown and bronze metallic. Texture in textiles and tribal patterns will influence this trend.
So if you are looking for a home improvement project to tackle consider refreshing your home with fresh paint.
