Last up in my colour spotlight is one of my new favourites: brown.

Is brown a colour? Technically yes (it’s dark shade of orange), and after a decade of grays and cool tones, brown is officially trending (hooray!). I consider lighter browns like taupes and beiges to fall more into the neutral category, but medium and darker tones browns are a bit more of a colour commitment and will be what I’m talking about here.

If you’re a lover of neutrals and nervous about incorporating colour into your space, I recommend starting with green. Considered “nature’s neutral” it’s a great way to incorporate colour in a way that doesn’t feel too over-the-top, especially when you stick with soft and muted shades of green.

Red (and burgundy in particular) keeps popping up in recent trend predictions and for good reason. We’re moving away from the white walls and cool neutrals that dominated interiors over the past decade towards warm, rich and earthy tones… and nothing beats a deep red for creating a cozy vibe.

Yellow is a well-loved paint colour for the optimistic and cheerful vibe it brings to a space, but it’s also one of the trickiest colours to choose. Why? Because all colours look twice as bright and twice as light once they’re up on your walls. So a yellow that looks perfect on a two-inch paint chip, can end up looking blindingly obnoxious once it’s up on your walls.

It’s the time of year that after the holiday decor gets packed away, many of us look around our spaces and feel the need for a little refresh. To kick off 2024, this month I’ll be sharing some colourful home inspiration and rounding up all my favourite paint colours, hue by hue.

The first post in my colour spotlight series is pink! This hue can be a hard sell for many, but hear me out…
