Benjamin Moore went hot. Sherwin Williams stays cool. How do you feel about the 2018 colors of the year?

Too much for me, I like to stick with neutrals and muted colors.

LOST - color and look match
Q

I also have an overwhelming need to see something curvy, flirtatious and round in the space. Consider this when scouting for decor and accesory items (i.e. round rug, curvy fluid light fixtures). Also, would it be a complete abomination to sand down the furniture (so it looks older) or painting it a new color before upholstering to modernize it? I agree with j222b's suggestion in that the furniture and space could benefit from some eclectic coverings but perhaps a neutral fabric against a new color that could bring out the carving of the wood could work too? In my head I see a rusty orange or deep aubergine purple or rich dark green. Just a thought...

Groovy Baby! Love it! I think if you are going to have a strong look like this, you have to go the whole hog to pull it off, otherwise it just looks like a bad take on a 'theme'; you nailed it, very well done!

Landscaping design with neighbor's garage
Q

I agree with the others - ask your neighbor about painting the side of the garage that faces your yard. Depending on your style of decor, you can treat this as a part of your yard and change the appearance completely. Consider a low fence to separate your yard from the street/driveway, something similar to the red fence shown, to provide you a smaller "room" for entertaining. I live in an area where the side of the neighbors house defines the property line and have decorated the side of the neighbors house with various items to break up the expanse of wall (old window frames with the glass missing, sections of old iron fences, bird houses, etc); it really helps to cozy up the space. A trench filled with gravel and topped with larger rocks will help with the water issue and direct the water to other areas of the yard. A brick or paver patio would be lovely for establishing a conversation/grill area. The pictures submitted by PC have some great ideas. I can't recommend plants since I have not idea what part of the country you are located in

Hi there Aspencookie, Thank you for posting your request. I suggest for us to make an appointment to visit your home to identify which are the areas you are targeting to change. On top of that we can also look at any specific themes you may have in mind while matching various colours that will make the house look more spacious and modern. You can drop me an email with the copy of your actual floor plan @ transformdreamhome@yahoo.com and we can discuss more on this! Thank you Regards Sion

Both beautiful colors. I'm not sure it matters much though; does anyone change their opinion because of the "COTY" designation. After all, we would have to repainted every year;)!

Red dining rooms were so 1990. Have the 1990's returned to retro fashionability? If so, we skipped the 1980's.

Maybe on an accent piece, but not on any of my walls -- I am passionate about keeping those boringly calm.

Color is coming back thank goodness but those two are a little on the harsh side for a home interior IMHO

Ditto on celebrating the slow painful death of grey, and ditto on the 90s (I must've been a bit late on that because I did it in the early 2000's) flashback, although that red evokes more red pepper or salsa than the darker 90s red. I was so glad to get rid of that (admittedly I was happy with it for a decade ) that I still get shivers when I see old pictures! I'll take the fun blue and green :)

Behr coty is grayish, greenish blue. “Moment “. Yes, color is definitely making a comeback. Love the Cherner chairs in pic #1.

I usually wait to find out what Pantone COTY will be, I’m hoping 2018 will be more appealing than 2017’s yellow toned green whatever the name of it was. I was disappointed when they picked Marsala, and the year they picked “rose quartz” and “serenity” to me it looked like colors you see in baby shower decorations - ridiculous. :p

I don’t paint the house (ok I hire someone but still...) very often, it’s a messy project that takes a lot of prep work to achieve good result (hence why I hire someone) so if the whole house interior gets a couple coats of new paint every 8-10 years I’m happy.

Though I keep telling the mister that he may come home from a few days traveling for work to a vivid teal accent wall and will just have to accept it. ;)

jenn, i'd pay more attention to the paint companies 'coty', as pantone's is based on fashion. the pink and blue handbags that drove that year's choice made some sense.

The Ben Moore color is presented in a very dated manner. Personally I like the blue best

I like that both colors are not the usual blues and reds you see on walls. While blue is one of my favorite colors and red is one of my least favorite, I actually prefer the red room over the blue room. Maybe it's the mixture of white and the green outdoors or all the light from the windows, but the red room looks very fresh to me. And I don't think it looks dated at all.

Paint color can be used for many different applications. The red is a great color for front doors , or as an accent color. Same with the blue! I think BM expects that these stinger colors will pop up in other places, not necessarily just on a whole wall.
