An update to the space you live in can boost your mood and keep you focused while you make 2018 your best year yet.

Stay on trend for the coming year by painting and decorating with the hottest interior design colors of 2018.

Read on to find out what the year’s best colors will be!

1. Teal

This is a rich, unique shade that’s right between green and blue.

Teal is one of those colors that’s going to become big in interior decorating in the coming years. It’s even predicted to be one of the possibilities for Pantone’s 2018 color of the year.

This hue is calming and adventurous, making this the perfect choice for indoor painting. It taps into the relaxing qualities of blue , while being unique enough in the world of interior decorating to also make a bold statement.

You can use this color anywhere in the house. Make bedrooms feel lavish, or give a peaceful feeling to a home office. If you’re not ready for such a bold commitment, try painting an accent wall or your front door with this hue instead.

Teal is great when paired with neutrals, cream shades, other rich jewel tones, or even metallics.

2. Muted Turquoise

For a shade between blue and green with a softer feel, try a pale turquoise that’s infused with gray to give it a muted, almost neutral feel.

The combination of blue, gray, and green feels natural and elemental, making this a great way to add color to a neutral-hued home. This shade lends a spa-like feel to any room, creating your very own home sanctuary.

Try this color in kitchens, bedrooms, or bathrooms. It looks sophisticated with neutrals but pops against bright contrasting shades.

3. Paprika

A bold red with brownish undertones color is bright, but not overwhelming for a living space.

Pastels and neutrals have reigned for the past few years, so bold colors are sure to be big in 2018. Red is great in kitchens and dining rooms since it can actually help boost appetites.

This shade also makes a wonderful accent, especially on a door – the bright hue makes entering feel warm and inviting. Pair this paint with neutral shades or natural textures, like wood and stone.

4. Black

Go one step bolder with a true black.

The days of faking “black” with a dark blue or purple are behind us. 2018 is all about commitment to the look – go bold or go home.

Black feels both expressive and private. It’s unusual in interior decorating, yet can feel calming and peaceful – it’s a blank slate.

If you’re not ready for a solid black room (though that can be a great choice), paint an accent wall behind a bookcase, or some interior doors. White, cream, and pastel accents brighten up the vibe and add a chic decorative contrast.
