What's New in Interior Painting: Colors, Finishes, and Styles

As the seasons change, many homeowners look for ways to refresh their spaces without diving into a full renovation. A new coat of paint can do just that. At Carroll Custom Painting, we stay ahead of the latest trends to help you choose interior paint options that elevate your home's personality while reflecting your individual style. From bold new colors to modern finishes, the world of interior painting is constantly evolving-and we're here to guide you through what's new.

Color Trends That Set the Tone

This year's color palette is all about balance-blending soft neutrals with rich, dramatic tones. Earthy greens, deep blues, and warm terracottas continue to dominate, creating cozy and inviting interiors. Meanwhile, off-whites and muted grays remain popular for open-concept homes that need versatility. For homeowners looking to make a statement, jewel tones like emerald and sapphire are being used to accent dining rooms and studies, adding depth and sophistication.

Finishes That Make a Difference

Paint finishes are no longer just about sheen-they're about experience. Designers are moving away from uniform finishes and instead mixing different sheens within a single room to create visual interest. Matte and eggshell finishes are leading the way for walls, offering a soft look that hides imperfections beautifully. Satin and semi-gloss finishes, on the other hand, are perfect for trim, cabinetry, and doors because of their durability and easy-to-clean nature.

Stylish Painting Techniques

Beyond color and finish, technique plays a major role in defining your home's character. Accent walls are evolving into full accent zones, where paint is used to define specific areas within open spaces. Other popular methods include:

• Color blocking: Combining two contrasting hues on one wall for a bold, modern look.
• Textured painting: Adding depth with faux finishes, limewash, or plaster effects.
• Ceiling color play: Moving beyond plain white ceilings to add drama or warmth with subtle color variations.

These creative options allow homeowners to personalize their interiors without overwhelming the space.

Sustainability and Quality Matter

Homeowners are becoming more conscious of their environmental impact, which has led to the rise of eco-friendly paints. Low-VOC and zero-VOC options not only improve indoor air quality but also provide excellent coverage and durability. At Carroll Custom Painting, we source premium, sustainable paints that meet our clients' high standards while supporting a healthier home environment.
