It\u2019s almost a new year, and change is on the horizon! Before you get started on your next design project, get inspired by reading through Benjamin Moore\u2019s color trends for 2018.<\/p>\n

The color trends highlighted by Benjamin Moore are focused around fresh, energetic hues, namely purple, pink, and red.<\/p>\n

Lighthearted pinks and purples added to your home is a playful way to liven up your space, especially if you have a modern home focused around minimalism. A good example would be placing pastel pink and purple throw pillows on your grey couch for a playful pop of color.<\/p>\n

If you live in a home where neutral colors dominate your color scheme, painting your door red is an option that would be a not-so-subtle way to create intrigue. Benjamin Moore highlighted this trend for coastal style homes where neutral blues and whites are prevalent colors in your entryway.<\/p>\n

Another trend outlined is painting your kitchen area a bold red. You can create a modern farmhouse feel through this color choice, and automatically create a more open, homey atmosphere.<\/p>\n

White and grey walls and cabinets with red accents offers a more subtle way to create warmth through this bold color.<\/p>\n

Overall, the trends for 2018 revolve around the integration of bold, warm colors amongst neutral tones. Cool tones dominate, but fun pops of color are added throughout your space. This creates a solid balance of calm and active energy.<\/p>\n

Benjamin Moore had to select from 3,500 colors and put in a lot of time and energy to determine the 2018 Color of the Year. After all the sweat and tears they determined that \u201ccaliente\u201d is the color of 2018.<\/p>\n

Caliente is a deep, bright red that immediately reminds you of a rich, flavorful wine. A freshly painted farmhouse should also give you an idea. It is bold and energetic, drawing the eye and not allowing you to look away.<\/p>\n

Benjamin Moore describes red as a color that signifies change (very fitting when representing a new year) strength, drama, and desire. Overall, they describe the color as confidence.<\/p>\n

This color is stunning as a wall color for your dining room or kitchen, especially because red typically encourages high energy and hunger.<\/p>\n

Be mindful of how much light, especially natural, will be present in the room you plan on painting. This color has a striking difference in feel when in a darker space verses a lighter space.<\/p>\n

A lighter space would offer more of a farmhouse feel when it comes to the quality of the color, whereas a darker space would offer more regal sophistication.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for something a little more subtle, painting the walls grey and then adding accents of caliente is a popular trend, and can also have a very powerful effect on the room as well.<\/p>\n
