5 Interior Paint Colors That Are Trending in Homes Right Now
Choosing the right paint color can completely change the look and feel of your home. Over the past year, we have noticed homeowners moving toward colors that feel calm, warm, and timeless rather than overly bold or trendy.
If you are thinking about updating your home this year, here are a few interior paint colors that are showing up in more and more homes.
Warm Whites
Bright, stark whites are slowly being replaced with warmer tones that feel softer and more inviting. Warm whites create a clean look without feeling sterile, making them a popular choice for living rooms, kitchens, and open concept homes.
These shades pair well with natural wood, stone, and warm metal finishes.
Popular Sherwin-Williams warm whites include:
Alabaster (SW 7008), a soft warm white that works almost anywhere
Shoji White (SW 7042), slightly creamy with subtle depth
Greek Villa (SW 7551), warm and bright without feeling stark
Creamy (SW 7012), a soft, buttery white that adds warmth and coziness to any room
Soft Greige
Greige, a blend of gray and beige, continues to be a favorite for homeowners who want something neutral but still interesting.
It works well in almost any room and complements a wide variety of furniture styles. Soft greiges are especially popular in main living areas and hallways because they create a smooth transition between spaces.
Some popular Sherwin-Williams greiges include:
Agreeable Gray (SW 7029), one of the most popular neutrals for a reason
Repose Gray (SW 7015), a soft balanced gray with warmth
Drift of Mist (SW 9166), a very light greige that feels airy and calm
Earthy Greens
Muted green tones are becoming a favorite for bedrooms, offices, and accent walls. These colors bring a natural, calming feel into the home and work beautifully with plants, wood accents, and neutral décor.
Think sage, olive, and other earthy shades rather than bright greens.
Sherwin-Williams greens homeowners gravitate toward include:
Clary Sage (SW 6178), a soft sage green with a calming feel
Evergreen Fog (SW 9130), a muted green gray that works beautifully in modern homes
Softened Green (SW 6177), light and earthy without feeling too bold
Deep Moody Blues
For homeowners looking to add a little drama, deep blue shades are showing up more often in dining rooms, offices, and built in cabinetry.
These darker colors add depth and contrast while still feeling classic and sophisticated.
Some popular Sherwin-Williams blues include:
Naval (SW 6244), a rich navy that works great on cabinets and accent walls
Indigo Batik (SW 7602), deep blue with a little softness
Smoky Blue (SW 7604), a slightly muted blue that feels timeless
Soft Beige and Sand Tones
Beige is making a comeback, but in a much softer and more modern way than the early 2000s. Today’s beige tones lean warm and subtle, creating cozy spaces that still feel updated.
These colors work especially well in homes with lots of natural light.
Popular Sherwin-Williams beige tones include:
Accessible Beige (SW 7036), a warm neutral that works in many homes
Natural Linen (SW 9109), a soft beige with a comfortable cozy feel
Canvas Tan (SW 7531), a slightly deeper neutral with warmth
Choosing the Right Color for Your Home
While trends can be helpful for inspiration, the best paint color is always the one that works for your home’s lighting, layout, and existing finishes.
Paint can look very different depending on the amount of natural light in a room, surrounding colors, and even the direction your windows face.
That is why we offer free color consultations to help homeowners feel confident in their choices before the first brush touches the wall.
