12 Mar 2015 Color Trends In Johnson County Homes
At this time of year, most people focus on painting the exterior of their houses. We’re busy getting people on our Spring schedule right now. However, if you’re looking at having the outside of your home repainted, it’s also a great time to breathe some life into the inside of your home. Here’s a look at some options gaining traction early in the year.
Let’s start with the most vibrant option out there right now—Fuscia bright pink. Punch up a teen’s room with the intense vibe of hot pink, or use it as an accent for lighter walls, just for fun. Designers use these in-your-face color versions of a favorite girly shade to contrast with light colors and even black accessories. Try Fuchsia Bright to achieve a look similar to the one pictured here. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it livens up an otherwise stale room. This image shows the application in a bathroom, but we’re not sure that’s the best application setting. It’s a great visual of the color, though!
Are you not ready to walk into something that feels like it’s hopped up on caffeine and loud music? Try a similarly over-stated approach with lavender. This is another excellent option for teens, tweens, children’s rooms, and brunettes. This example uses white stripes on an accent wall to break up any sense of being overwhelmed by the color, but even block-style approaches with this color are becoming very popular in the area. It’s a fun color, that’s for sure. I can already hear KU fans screaming about having purple in their homes. Fear not; this is a much lighter purple than what K-State uses, and nobody will ever question your fandom…
Are you already thinking of the summer vacation you’ll be taking? Warm coral evokes a tropical vibe, even miles away from the beach. Peach is a similar color that brings a relaxed but positive energy to a room. Often, this is matched up with a light blue or turquoise to make it pop. This is both a “strong” color and a calming tone simultaneously. Please avoid using this with black accents, though, or it’ll feel like Halloween in your home, even in July.
Nothing captures the feeling of being outside like sky blue. This image takes it to another level by painting the ceiling sky blue, but nothing works with the whites and besieges that have dominated Johnson County homes as seamlessly as this light color from the blue family. It’s also a fantastic option for bathrooms and nursery rooms. We’re seeing increasingly more pairings with lighter shades of green for very natural, spring-vibe pairings inside many homes.
Similar to what we see with the coral and peach colors mentioned previously, sea green or lighter greens are making a big splash from Mission Hills to Olathe and everywhere in between. Again, the driver is finding colors that work with beige tones. These are great pairings and give off a rich, earthy feeling for any room. It’s a fantastic consideration for a dining room, especially with the right table as a focal accent piece. There are endless options for lightening or darkening this color and having it “fit” with existing browns of all types!
