Mood is the Attitude
2024 has been quite the shake up so far as interior style has been concerned! Brand chosen paint colors of the year are moodier than a 13 year old being forced to sport an out of date iPhone. “That’s so Ohio!” (or whatever the cool kids are saying these days). From the calm and joyful colors of Glidden’s “Limitless” and Sherwin-Williams “Upward”, to the subdued, dare I say ennui tones of Dutch Boys “Ironside” and Benjamin Moore’s “Blue Nova” there is a hue for every sentiment. This is quite the shift from the neutral-warm tones that dominated much of 2023.
Embracing cooler tones can add a relaxing ambience to any space. Cooler colors have a soothing effect, and are best when used in areas of the home dedicated to tranquility. Bed rooms, bathrooms, and offices can all benefit from a touch of calm. When paired with natural textures and neutral tones, cooler colors stand out as a gentle accent. If you are considering a cooler color decor, remember to use a supporting color palette to accentuate and bring the most out of your space.
Radiant marble with a soft gray and white shift is a popular flooring choice to pair with cool colored baseboards or walls. The lighter tone of the floor coupled with a gloss finish helps natural light bounce and brighten almost any space. The organic and random pattern of the marble asserts the beauty of natural imperfections found in the world around us. Delicate ribbons of color weave a unique pattern on your floor that is impossible to replicate. With an aesthetic that conveys both the strength of stone and the flowing delicacy of smoke, gray radiant marble is a perfect pairing for rooms with a cool color theme.
Although choosing a deeper shade for your space can inspire a little hesitancy, the depth of the tones create a cozy atmosphere. Kitchen’s, dens and she-shed/man-caves are brought to life with these resolute colors. Whether used as an accent tone or a bold whole room choice- deeper shades are bound to make a statement.
Rustic wood coatings provide the perfect versatile menu for these spaces. A deep Santos Mahogany “stain” enriches the warmth of your wall color. You can almost smell the cigar smoke of Grandpa’s study! On the other hand, Juniper’s vivid Cosmos inspired tones would lighten up your space. This marriage between light and dark tones creates a modern and classy vibe.
Whether 2024 is inspiring joy, calm, or comfort this year’s chosen paint colors offer the perfect match for your every mood. Pairing these hues with a custom Paveman floor will have that hard to please 13 year old appreciating your “Mad Rizz”! Visit www.pavemancoatings.com for more inspiration.
