New year, new house! To start the year with a fresh new outlook, you don’t necessarily need a new house. If you’re not in the market to buy, try updating your home with some of 2015’s hottest color trends. A fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference in your home. Adding a pop of color can brighten up a space – and inspire you to start 2015 with a bang.

Bright Pops

Bright pops of color are a great way to add an energizing, inspiring atmosphere to a room. To balance the addition of a bright color in a room, pair it with a gray or neutral color and add eye-catching accessories and details.

Neutrals

With the rustic, chic trend continuing through 2015, a combination of neutral colors can soften a room, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Beiges, tans and grays provide for functionality as well a chic, monochromatic look that is sure to last for years to come.

Deep and Rich

With the announcement of the Pantone Color of the Year – Marsala – as a deep, earthy red (think a nice red wine), deep, rich colors will be a hit in 2015. Add a full-bodied color to a room and give it an eye-catching, sophisticated look that will be the perfect way to start a new year.
