Painting in the New Year: Interior House Painting Trends for 2018
Will your New Year’s resolution be to finally paint that living room? You’re not alone! The beginning of a new year is a great time of year to look into interior house painting projects. Not only is it cold outside, making it a great time for interior home improvement projects; it is also a great time of year to implement a fresh new look. Maybe your dining room could use some freshening up, or maybe you want to give your guest room a new interior design. Whatever it is you plan to paint; as the choice company in interior house painting in Edina and the surrounding areas, we have put together some of the top trends in paint for 2018.
Be Bold
2018 is all about bold, statement-making shades. Treat black paint as a neutral and use it to complement nearly any theme or color palette. It looks fantastic in the library or study for a unique, artistic look that offers instant charm and elegance.
Low VOC
With a constant, ever-growing awareness of what we put in our home and in our bodies, low-VOC paint continues to grow in popularity. VOC stands for “volatile organic compounds.” In regards to paint, they are found in the solvent, which is what keeps the paint from drying when it is still in the can. When the paint is applied to walls or another surface, the VOCs evaporate into the air and the paint dries. Some VOCs can cause more damage than others, so it is important to try to limit the amount of VOCs that are dispersed into the air during an interior painting project. You could save you and your family a lot of potential health issues if you buy paint that has little to no VOCs. And, low-VOC paint is comparable in price. And low VOC paint is great for winter interior painting projects when you can’t open a window to ventilate the room.
Be Blue
A big trend this year will come in calming shades of blue. Create a tech-free oasis, where you actually find a little relief from the constant flow of information to unplug and relax. Choose blue for the bedroom, study, sunroom and more.
Paint in Pastels
According to Sherwin-Williams, soft, washed pastels like mint greens and chic pinks will take on simple modern design in the coming year. And, this trend looks great in literally any room in the home!
