Now that we’re halfway through the year, TruNorth Painting is starting to see some interior painting trends for schools, offices, and homes emerge. Generally, functionality, wellness, and personality are priorities for the property owners we’ve worked with this year. Let’s take a closer look at these trends in action.
Interior Painting for Schools: Energy & Focus
Gone are the days of sterile white or gray walls in schools and other educational environments. Districts are ditching these neutrals for more uplifting colors that foster learning and creativity. The right colors can reduce stress in students and encourage focus and collaboration. Using vibrant colors along walls to help delineate spaces can add visual interest and make it easier for occupants to find their way around the building.
This year, schools have requested soft blues and greens for concentration and calmness and cheerful yellows to stimulate mental activity and boost energy. We generally recommend matte and eggshell finishes for schools because they are low glare and reduce distraction. Washable paints make it easy to clean up scuffs, pencil marks, and high-traffic areas.
Interior Painting Trends for Offices: Balance and Brand
Our office clients have been interested in using paint to balance professionalism and comfort in the workplace while aligning the aesthetic of their office to their brand. For many companies in the Twin Cities, that has meant leaning into earthy, natural hues, such as dusty blue, sage green, and terracotta.
For offices, we recommend a satin or low-sheen paint for a clean look that’s easy to maintain. Textures work well as accents. Consider incorporating a subtle pattern or different finish to add interest without being distracting.
Interior Painting Trends for Homes: Personal and Peaceful
Homeowners this year have been leaning into wellness. As they renovate and update their rooms, they’re choosing paint colors and finishes that foster peace and wellbeing.
For many, this means leaning into earthy greens and browns to bring Mother Nature into their homes. We’ve also painted a lot of walls lavender, blush pink, and other soft pastel colors. Rich jewel tones are still popular, especially for creating cozy reading nooks or to draw attention to a feature wall. A matte finish provides a soft feel for living rooms and bedrooms, while satin or pearl finishes are durable choices for kitchens and bathrooms.
