5 hot hues for your home

When it comes to home design, color is key. Not only can color affect mood, it can also impact the perceived size and brightness of your space. According to designers, here are five fashionable flavors worthy of consideration:

PEWTER is a natural beige-gray. Thanks to its muted tones, it works well just about anywhere and with just about any color or accent, from bright and bold shades to lighter pastels.

MUSTARD is not only perfect for accentuating a specific part of your home, it’s also great for drawing in the eye. Because it’s so strong, it’s best used in smaller doses.

LIGHT BLUES are naturally soothing. That makes them an appropriate option for bathrooms, bedrooms, or anywhere that could use their calming effects.

DEEP GREENS are excellent for large rooms, especially when there are lots of windows and natural light. However, these nature-inspired hues can make small areas feel cramped.

MUTED PASTELS are perfect for places where a minimal feel is best. They also evoke cleanliness, making them well-suited for kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms.
