What's the next Color trend in homes?

4 months ago

I am always looking for what's next in design, particularly things that appeal to the masses. My basic ask of people is - what's next?


For a little context, I will share a little of my own journey and eventually I will be re-doing a home and won't want to be on the back end of a trend, rather the front foot of what is coming.

In the early 2000s - it was all about travertine + that sand/yellow and orange/brown floors it seems. Granite was becoming mainstream, but like everything colors evolved.


By 2010 this style was showing it's age a bit, but the Farmhouse style came in and gave it a bigger moment, but by 2013/2014 Grey was taking over. It got to the point in about 2017/2018 where it was so mono tone that flippers were prematurely wearing it out with grey synthetic floors, grey cabinets grey walls etc.


I managed to salvage parts of each with my own remodel in 2015 with some dark walnut tone floors, farmhouse and grey but in 2017 I was on to a new project where I noticed a new trend emerging - white walls + white trim + dark accents on handles, windows etc. Gold became popular again, but in a muted tone and by 2020 Green started it's rise up which is in full swing now. I remember as a kid I loved Forest/Hunter green, and then overnight I dropped it as fast as my daughter dropped Pink for Blue.


Do people have a simlar view of the mass appeal design trends over the last couple of decades? and do you have thoughts on where it is going?


Themes, Styles, textures, materials etc.
