Is This the Year to Add Some New Interior Color to Your Home?

Have you been putting off an interior painting project because you can’t find the time to do it? Are you tired of the color schemes that run throughout the rooms and living spaces of your home? Do you have some ideas for painting, but aren’t sure where to start?

Franklin Painting of Farmington, CT, would like to offer a few strategies for adding beautiful colors to your home’s interior. With proper planning, you can do the job yourself, and it won’t take as long as you think. You can also hire an experienced local paint crew to handle the project. Either way, resolve to get the job done this coming new year.

The colors that color our world

Interior paint colors affect how much we enjoy our rooms and spaces. New wall paint and trim colors can literally transform a drab room into a dazzling one. Before you pour a ton of money into new furnishings and interior design services, consider pouring some paint into a bucket and getting to work.

What can you do with paint?

Here are some ideas.

Paint the trim

If you’re happy with the color of your walls, consider painting only the trim around them. A new trim color can bring a whole new personality and vibe to your walls and the entire room.

What about an accent wall?

An accent wall is a single wall painted in a color that offsets and contrasts with the other walls in a room. More popular by the year, accent walls spruce up rooms and make them more modern and appealing.

Doors and windows

It’s funny how a door that looks somewhat old-fashioned and out of date can be instantly modernized with a coat of paint. The same goes for the window framing. Doors and windows are two parts of a home that tend to stand out, so make yours striking and magnetic.

The kitchen

Kitchen walls take a lot of abuse over the years; at one point, even determined cleaning can’t restore their original beauty. But new paint can. You’ll be amazed at how your kitchen brightens up with beautiful new color on the walls.

One room at a time

Take your home room by room and ask yourself which colors would look best in each. Paint one room at a time so the job doesn’t seem so daunting. After you finish the first room, you’ll be energized and motivated to keep going until your whole home looks just the way you want it.

What about the actual colors?

There’s no right color-scheme formula. The best colors are the ones you love the most. Paint giant Benjamin Moore has announced that the resplendent Urbane Bronze is its 2026 color of the year. This is a stately charcoal-brown shade with plum hints. It may work well in your home for a trim or an accent wall.

But again, there’s no right way. Paint your home with the colors that delight you, and you’ll be happy for many years to come.
