Give your home a makeover with your favourite 2023 colour of the year

Each year, colour experts and trend forecasters predict the colour of the year that will dominate the design world. Applying this trendy colour with a new coat of paint or a statement item can enable you to achieve your vision for your home's perfect interior. These colours, which range from off-white to vibrant magenta, are suitable for both maximalist and minimalist home décor.

Here's the trendy colours of 2023 to incorporate in your home décor:

• Pantone - Viva Magenta

The bold colour Viva Magenta, chosen by Pantone as the 2023 Colour of the Year, will inspire you to take more risks while decorating your house. The red of cochineal, one of the most potent and brilliant dyes in the world, served as the inspiration for the crimson colour. By using a velvet sofa or lacquered walls in your house, you may maximise the impact of this colour. If you want to create a more neutral environment, incorporate it with a glass lighting fixture or a beautiful ikebana floral arrangement. 

It is inspired by the reality that, despite virtual worlds becoming a bigger part of our everyday lives, we still look to nature and the actual world for inspiration.

• Benjamin Moore - Raspberry Blush

Raspberry Blush is the shade you've been waiting for if you want to move outside of your comfort zone and try something new. The designer's ambition to convey meaning through colour, form, and sound served as the inspiration for the intense red-orange colour. The captivating colour will provide smaller rooms, such the living room or bathroom, a splash of colour. As an alternative, it makes the ideal mantelpiece or archway accent colour.

• Behr - Blank Canvas

The off-white colour of Behr's Blank Canvas is the ideal backdrop for any area if you identify as a minimalist. For a charming and cosy appeal, Blank Canvas readily provides a clear and welcoming blank slate that encourages uniqueness and creativity. It also easily blends with a variety of colours, including neutrals, earth tones, and pastels. All of your walls might be painted in the soothing colour, or you can think about combining it with brighter, more flamboyant hues.

• Graham & Brown - Alizarin

Alizarin, the moody auburn Colour of the Year from Graham & Brown, was created to add warmth and cosiness to your space. The colour is named from the type of plant known as the rubia, which has been used historically all over the world as a source of dye. It may be employed in small spaces to provide a cocooning effect or in entertainment places to produce an air of wealth.

• Sherwin Williams - Redend Point

Sherwin Williams' 2023 Colour of the Year, Redend Point, strikes the optimal blend between time-honoured neutrals and brighter colours. The colour, which straddles the boundary between blush and beige, was influenced by the notion of discovering beauty outside of oneself. It is a reassuring colour that calls for compassion and connection in every space. For those seeking a warm and happy neutral for both interiors and exteriors, the hue is an obvious choice.

• Dutch Boy - Rustic Greige

Dutch Boy's colour of the year is a medium-toned neutral with a slight red undertone that is subtle without being monotonous. The yearning to get away, unwind, and rejuvenate inspired the versatile rustic greige colour. It's about relocating to a quieter, simpler existence that is motivated by the tranquillity and purity of natural tones. The colour is created to look fantastic with only one application, simplifying the DIYer's makeover process.

• Krylon - Spanish Moss

Since green is still a popular colour in interior design, Krylon chose a variation of the hue as their 2023 Colour of the Year. Spanish Moss is a classic, natural colour that emphasises the raw beauty of nature. The gorgeous green colour was created to complement both indoor and outdoor settings and can balance with both warm and cool accents.
