4 Ways Color Can Make Your House a Haven

If ever there was a need to create a tranquil escape from the chaos of the world , the time is now . Converting your living space into a soul-soothing refuge may be easier than you think as a serene color palette is often all you need to shift the mood of your home .

For many people , the home is a personal sanctuary , and through thoughtful color design , you can discover a renewed sense of balance and ease each time you walk through your front door . Incorporating colors inspired by simplicity and serenity can create spaces that transform the home into a soothing and comfortable space .
A restorative style starts with soft and natural colors ; simplicity , approachability and comfort are also essential . Softened tones keep things easy and uncomplicated for spaces that feel balanced and meaningful . To start creating a peaceful refuge within your home , consider these tips from the experts at HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams to discover how to use color to paint a sense of calm for all who enter .
Peace on the Porch
Fuss-free styling on the front porch sets a tone for the ambiance inside . Make sure all who enter know this is a place of calm and comfort by using soft , subtle colors . A fresh coat of exterior paint - or a new shade on the front door - can help freshen and brighten the space while purposeful , understated furnishings and accessories lend themselves to a graceful welcome .
Balanced Bedroom There ’ s no space quite like the bedroom to command a peaceful presence . A curated palette like the HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams 2022 Color Collection of the Year offers multiple options that exude peacefulness and facilitate tranquility . The Softened Refuge Collection is composed of 10 soft and simple tones that can be mixed and matched in any combination for a perfectly cohesive look .
One highlight is the 2022 Color of the Year , Aleutian , a washed indigo that is grounded by the warmth of its red undertones and bridges the gap between warm and cool tones . It pairs beautifully with wood tones so you can easily incorporate practical furnishings that lend to an aura of relaxation and comfort .
Laid-Back Living Room Color that mimics the hues found naturally outdoors tend to soothe the soul . Introduce natural calm to a place your family enjoys congregating by updating walls to a sophisticated organic green that is rooted in nature . Carry the relaxed mood throughout the room with complementing nature-inspired neutrals for your furniture , window treatments and accent pieces .
Subtle Kitchen Spice A stark white kitchen may feel crisp and clean , but it lacks the character that color brings . You can keep that airy feeling while infusing some gentle , welcoming warmth . Painted cabinets are on trend , so this is a perfect place to play with color . Use a light neutral taupe for the cabinets then balance with a warm , creamy white on the walls . If you ’ re worried the space may be dull , infuse a bit of color with a neutral blue on the backsplash . The soft hues work harmoniously for a simple but stylish space .
“ The Softened Refuge palette is designed to simplify color selection for a perfectly coordinated home design ,” said Ashley Banbury , HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams senior color designer . “ Color combinations within the Collection can easily be used to craft spaces that help promote positive physical and mental well-being .”
