For Fall 2024, real estate color trends (courtesy of insights from Homes & Garden, The Spruce and Jane at Home) are shifting toward warm, earthy tones and sophisticated, moody hues that create a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
Color has the power to completely transform the mood and feel of a room. A change in color can instantly make it more inviting, serene, or vibrant. See what shades are set to define interiors this fall, from earthy greens and browns to blissful or moody blues.
Warm and Grounding Neutrals
Warm whites, creams, and beiges with soft undertones are replacing the cooler grays of the past. Decorating with neutrals remains a strong trend in 2024, with warm taupe, beige, and stony hues leading the way. These colors provide a timeless backdrop that can be accented with brighter tones for a fresh, contemporary look.
Captivating Caramel Tones
Golden caramel hues are making a strong comeback, despite once being considered outdated. Use these shades to create cozy and inviting atmospheres. Richer neutrals like caramel are overtaking cool whites in popularity which pairs perfectly with natural materials such as wicker, rattan, warm woods, and stone finishes.
Peachy Energetic Hues
Since Pantone announced Peach Fuzz as its Color of the Year for 2024, this nurturing soft peach shade has been embraced by the interior’s world. It’s particularly effective when used as an accent color, bringing energy and warmth to any space.
Earthy Greens and Browns
Olive and dark green shades are becoming increasingly popular, offering a calming and natural feel. Browns, ranging from soft taupe to deep mocha, continue to be a favorite for their versatility and warmth, often replacing black as a go-to neutral.
Nature’s Greens and Blues of Nature
Nature-inspired greens and blues are timeless, but they’re particularly popular this year as we seek to bring the calming effects of the outdoors into our homes. These shades are perfect for creating tranquil spaces, particularly in rooms where relaxation is key.
Blissful to Moody Blues
Pale blues are being championed by several paint brands this year. These soothing and versatile shades work well in various spaces, from bedrooms to living rooms. In contrast, rich, deep blues are making a strong statement, adding a touch of drama and elegance to interiors. These shades are perfect for creating a calming and sophisticated atmosphere.
Head-Turning Reds
Red is making a bold statement in 2024, with shades ranging from vibrant crimson to rich berry tones. While red can be overpowering in large doses, it’s an excellent choice for creating intimate, cocooning spaces or adding a pop of color to neutral schemes.
Dark, Dramatic Shades
While light neutrals and pastels are trending, there’s still a strong appetite for dark, dramatic colors in 2024. Use shades like deep greens and blacks to create sophisticated, moody, interior that evoke calm and comfort. Use Black as an accent color to create contrast and a modern touch, especially when paired with earthy tones and warm neutrals.
Curves and Texture
Alongside these color trends, expect to see a lot of textures and soft, curvy shapes in furniture and decor. This helps soften spaces and make them feel more luxurious and comfortable.
These color trends for 2024 can offer a variety of ways to refresh your space, whether you’re looking for soothing neutrals or bold, statement-making shades. By incorporating these trends into your home, you can create a space that feels both contemporary and deeply personal.
