Hopeful Hues: Interior Paint Colors That Will Up The Joy Factor In Your Home

7 January 2022 by Bradley Davis

The past several years have been difficult for many people, and homeowners are looking for ways to move beyond the past into a brighter future. Repainting your interior in colors that exude hope is a great way to move forward. From soothing blues to sunny yellows, you are sure to find an interior color right that is right for your home.

Hopeful hues of blue

Fresh and airy, subtle shades of blue are always a safe choice for interior walls and ceilings. Create a joyous haven in your home with powder blue walls and an off-white ceiling. For something different, mix things up and opt for off-white walls and a soft blue ceiling to create the illusion of a sky.

Comforting and familiar white

White often gets a bad rap as being harsh and boring. However, for those who enjoy the comfort of a neutral palette, rich and creamy shades of white can be a comforting and soothing choice. Look for chalky whites in a matte or eggshell finish to create a relaxing and familiar interior.

White walls give you plenty of room to play when it comes to adding accents, as everything matches white. If you enjoy decorating with abandon, white's blank palette will give you plenty of room to play.

Subdued yellow

Yellow has always been associated with optimism and is a great choice for breathing new life into a room. Avoid bright or loud shades of yellow and think instead about subdued sunshine. Soft hues of yellow will still infuse plenty of joyful color into your interior without overpowering your home.

Try something new by pairing a buttery yellow paint with coral or turquoise for a fun and modern look in your interior. Yellow is also a perfect accent color to brighten up shades of gray in any room.

Misty shades of green

Green is a feel-good color and reflects health and wellbeing, which makes it one of the best choices if you are trying to move beyond the difficult days of the pandemic and move forward into a healthier and hopeful future. Misty shades of green make you feel like you are connecting with nature. Pair misty shades of green with a soft blue accent wall to create a fun color combination in your interior.

There is nothing like a fresh coat of paint to transform the look of a home's interior. Whether you choose one color or mix and match hues, a new paint job is sure to brighten your life. In fact, the only regret you may have is not painting your interior sooner.
