The forecast is bright: Buttery yellow. Sky blue. Moody mauve. And to keep it all grounded, there’s a continued lean to classic, crisp white. Here’s what the interior designers predict.
Paint Trend #1: Butter-Yellow
“I love how this hue can create a neutral foundation,” says Avery Cox, founder and principal of Avery Cox Design. She believes butter-yellow pairs nicely with extra saturated hues like magenta, cobalt, and forest greens (significantly when these vibrant colours are utilized in textiles and equipment). This coloration gives heat, exudes happiness, and is a simple different to white.

Why doesn’t purple get the design consideration it deserves? Anastasia Casey, founding father of IDCO Studio and Design Camp, believes this coloration, which is paying homage to violets and grapes, is gaining a spot in the summertime design highlight. “Once a design faux pas, purple has gotten an elevated makeover thanks to fearless designers who aren’t afraid to take a risk,” says Casey. “We’ve seen muted purple used everywhere, from kitchens to bathrooms and even main living spaces.”
