16 Paint Colors That Will Instantly Liven Up Your Home
Here at H&H, we can’t get enough of color. From the designers who are masters of using saturated tones to the hottest hues for 2019, there is no shortage of inspiration on our pages and our social media feeds. If you’re craving a quick refresh, might we suggest a fresh coat of paint? Learn how to transform your home with this year’s most livable pastel, bold and bright hues below.
Blue
There’s a blue for any room. Bright turquoise brings vibrancy to a dining room, especially when everything from the walls to the chairs and the tables are painted the same hue.
Navy is a chic alternative to black on a feature wall, which makes a children’s room feel grown-up. Whimsical artwork and a sink-in pouf keeps the look age-appropriate.
This bedroom’s soft blue panelled wall delivers a breezy vibe to the otherwise simple space. Even the homeowners’ cat approves!
Red
Use this show-off hue in unexpected ways to give rooms a boost, like slicking deep garnet on the inside of a cottage door.
Adding a glossy lipstick red desk to a moody room is a way to throw in some fun.

Green
Green is the go-to choice for adding a nod to nature in a room, but don’t discount its ability to add serenity with a calming seafoam hue reminiscent of warmer days.
Don’t be afraid to bring the drama by enveloping a bedroom in a moody teal color. A grass-green Silk Orchid rug and plum purple pillows stand up to the saturated walls.
This powder room‘s handsome olive walls compliment the storied elements in the space, like the ornate mirror and antique, glass-front cabinet.
Purple
Designers turn to purple to signal both luxury and fun. Go bold with a rich Bordeaux in a powder room for an instant cocooning effect.
From the autumnal floral arrangement’s smoked glass vase to the vintage-inspired chair’s fabric, this foyer’s regal sophistication is set aflame with hints of plum.
A smoky lavender shade brightens up this contemporary yet classic dining room, tying in the Art Deco-inspired rug underfoot.
Black
Take a lighthearted approach to black by creating a chalkboard wall in a children’s bedroom. It encourages creativity, and doubles as artwork, as evidenced by the giant lego drawing and rockstar-worthy slogan.
Bring door frames and stairwells into focus with a coat of moody black paint. It draws the eye to the other rooms in the house, like this handsome office and light-filled third floor.
Bold artwork commands attention when placed on a dark and dramatic wall. To keep the room from feeling too all-consuming, designer Connie Braemer opted for a mirrored coffee table and light, linen sofa.
Yellow
Get to know yellow’s more sophisticated side by opting for a deep ochre. This living room’s handsome millwork is brought to life swathed in this mustard hue.
Let a pale-yet-bright shade bring sunshine into a kitchen by using it on wooden furniture, which energizes the all-white palette.
