Exciting paint colour trends for 2023!

Well, we’re right into summer now and many of you will be looking forward to heading away for your holidays this festive season. While you’re lounging on a beach or in a hammock in the bush your mind may just be drifting to doing some home refreshing and refurbishment in 2023. Painting and other forms of wall décor are always a vital part of this so whatever form of wall decorating you may be doing, be it standard painting, special paint techniques or wallpapering, colour choice is always an important thing.
As professional painting specialists, we can help with this but while you have nothing else to do we figured you may want to know what the experts are saying about some exciting paint colour trends for 2023! Great articles from world-renowned interior décor publications like The Nordroom give quite a nice overview of this and we have a few ideas of our own, so here they are…

Inviting the outdoors in

This concept is a very big trend for 2023. As spaces are shrinking we need to make more of our exterior spaces and integrate them with our interior spaces. This means using colours complimentary to lots of plants and vines etc, which extend from our gardens into our living spaces. Different shades of green and teal will work well.

Uncertain times call for warm colours

As the Editor of the Nordroom so aptly puts it “The time we live in at the moment is rather uncertain. And this is reflected in the interior design and colours we choose to surround ourselves with. For 2023 I see strong gravitation toward warm colours, especially warm yellow tones.’’ Different hues of orange and brown also work in this context, so get warm this coming year!

Get peace of mind

We are also more likely to opt for more stress-reducing colours right now – especially with those of us working from home now being able to do so in this regard. Nice calming colours are various shades of indigo and blue. Sky blue and blue/grey are also popular choices for relaxing environments.

Top Designer Choice

One of the Gurus of Interior Design Benjamin Moore is of the mind that Raspberry Blush will be the Colour of the Year 2023. He says “Raspberry Blush is a cheerful coral shade tinged with pink. It is a very bold and charismatic colour that will make a great statement in your home, and the statement is up to you, you can add this shade as a bright colour accent but you can also go bold and paint an entire room in this vibrant shade.’’
