Get Grounded

August 30, 2023

Looking forward to the future is a common human trait. We look forward to the next season, the next holiday, the next vacation. How do you see yourself in the coming months? How do you want to feel? Your home helps to define how you feel and how you are perceived by those around you. Have you ever considered how or what your home says about you? Choosing the colors you want to live with is truly an important decision. Finding inspiration from what you love helps to create your own personal style.

Architects, designers and influencers around the globe get inspired and help us to curate the spaces we live in. These professionals look at fashion, clothing and home, world events and global influences and forecast colors, styles and items that will make our homes more us. Let’s look into 2024 and see what we can expect. One professional in the color industry says:

“While the world feels full of uncertainty, colors excite the senses. From the first flowers of Spring to a Cyber Neon only found in the man-made world, 2024 will embrace color that gives us a hint of joy, nostalgia and hope.

This trend is driven by nature, advancements in sustainability, health and modern technologies. It is both familiar and unknown.” (quote from Leah Civiok of HMH Interiors)

I have compiled a list of colors that you will want to use in your home. Get a notepad because you’re going to want to run to the paint store and check them out.

2024 Colors of the Year by Brand:

• Pantone: Apricot Crush. A neutral peach hue that makes you feel restored, refreshed and energized.

• Sherwin-Williams: Persimmon. From the ‘Renewed Comfort’ Collection, this color is gentle, neutral and restful.

• Dutch-Boy: Ironside. An olive green to evoke a feeling of sanctuary for well-being.

• Behr: Cracked Pepper. A soft black that’s sophisticated and versatile and pairs perfectly with a gold accent.

• Valspar: Renew Blue. A blue with a touch of grayed sea green that will make any space feel restful.

Are you seeing a trend? The color forecast is grounded. This is a year to ground yourself. Find your center and make your surroundings all you truly want it to be. Here’s some more colors to look for. You may see these in clothing, accessories, paint, and more...

• Marigold- Saffron. A fiery yellow-orange that will make you feel warm, happy and promote healing.

• Purple Frost. A fanciful color that evokes romance, affection, joy and nostalgia.

• Cyber Citron. If you want to be the center of attention then try this ultramodern, acidic and distinctive color.

• Luna Green. A rare color in nature that makes you feel other-worldly, clean and sustainable.

• Khaki Trench Coat. A timeless hue meant to imbue seriousness and commitment.

• Soil. Again, a grounding color for warmth, security and comfort.
