Any interior designer will confirm that color has the power to transform a room, whether it's a bold accent wall or an unexpected painted ceiling. But pinpointing the perfect color for your space can be quite tricky sometimes, so we've decided to consult with top designers and color experts for a bit of direction. What colors will dominate homes in 2020? From rich, moody hues to elegant neutrals, here are the top colors you'll be tempted to incorporate into your home in the year ahead.

WARM PASTELS

"Pastels are still hugely popular, but I think we’re gravitating towards pastels with added warmth and earthy undertones. For overall color palettes, we’re using a mix of both spring and autumnal colors."

BOLD MONOCHROMATICS

“Monochromatic does not have to be pale. Colors like Cobalt Blue, Kelly Green, or even Aubergine can evoke monochromatic in a daring way, that’s full of personality and elegance.”

DUSTY TEAL

"My new color crush is a dusty teal. It is actually an amazing neutral that pairs well with so many colors: camel, rust, navy, peach and pale woods, like white oak and birch. Plus, I love colors that are deep and calming at the same time."

MOODY HUES

"When it comes to paint colors at Clare, we believe in timeless over trendy. We think people will always prefer more timeless neutrals. But when it comes to colors that have been unexpectedly popular, we’re definitely seeing a trend toward rich, moody hues. Current Mood is the number-two most visited color on our website and gets a ton of love on Instagram. It’s also a top five best-selling color and outside of this rich green shade, we’re seeing more of an interest in deeper, moodier colors."

BLACK AND WHITE

“High-contrast black and white is such a dynamic duo. While versatile, I prefer a bold pattern, like Art Deco ziggurat tile, for a little drama. The emotional response is immediate and the look remains timeless.”

BLUE, GREEN, AND GRAY

"We are embracing rich, saturated blue, green, and gray colors that change based on the time of day and light in the room. They immediately create a mysterious, sexy, and interesting space." 

EARTH TONES

“Say goodbye to the cool tones that have ruled for so many years. Shades of chocolate brown, wine, olive green, and yellow ochre are all taking over in homes. We love substituting these warm, natural colors for a neutral on the sofa or walls.”
