Interior painting colour trends you can expect to see in 2023

In 2022, Vancouver homeowners gravitated towards muted greens, charcoal greys, and soft whites for their interior painting projects. Nature was a source of inspiration for interior colour and Vancouverites looked to bring calmness into their homes. The soft colour tones of 2022 created light, airy looks and brought the fresh feelings of the outdoors inside.

If you painted your home’s interior in 2022, don’t worry. These themes aren’t going anywhere. Neutral greens and delicate earth tones will continue to feel timeless and beautiful moving into 2023, and the coming year’s colour trends continue to take inspiration from natural elements. For 2023 interior painting projects, here are the trends top interior designers and influential paint suppliers are expecting to take hold in the coming months:

Expect intense colours complimented with soft natural hues

This year, homeowners are looking to add vibrancy to their homes. Rather than sticking with muted palettes, you can expect to see inspiration being drawn from the more intense aspects of nature. Deep ocean blues, dark browns, and bright, warm sunshine yellows will add energy and life into homes. As we come out of the pandemic, homeowners are using interior paint colours to rejuvenate and revitalize. By adding intentional, bright pops of colour to our homes, we can elevate our moods and create cozy, heartfelt vibes.

Colours from across the spectrum will make their way into homes

While last year’s colours of the year were dominated by greens, this year we are already seeing a multitude of colours enter the scene. From Glidden’s Vining Ivy, a dark and rich teal, to Benjamin Moore’s Raspberry Blush, we can’t wait to see how homeowners bring colour into their spaces.

With so many great colours to choose from, we can create the spaces we need using colour. When you enter a kitchen with bright, golden cabinets, you might feel uplifted and energized. When you lie down to rest in a bedroom with deep brown elements, you might feel grounded and peaceful.

Homeowners will not shy away from the use of colour in their homes

Maximalists will rejoice in seeing the rich colours of 2023 share spaces that they normally wouldn’t, creating vintage looks and visually interesting homes. For those who prefer a more classic look, there is space for that in 2023’s interior painting colour trends, too. White, greige, and earthy neutrals will be foundational in many homes this coming year.

We can’t wait to see all of the upcoming colours of the year as they are rolled out this fall! Stay tuned to see how our team at Even Better Painting helps our clients transform their spaces with these design principles.
