Top Interior Paint Trends for 2023

Every fall, interior design experts and paint companies predict the colors that will dominate our homes in the following year. The hues of 2022 focused on back-to-nature shades of green, while designers predict that 2023 will be all about self-expression. Below, you will find the top trending interior paint colors of 2023 and how to best use each hue.

Spanish Moss by Krylon

Although 2022 was the year focused on bridging the gap between the indoors and outdoors, this theme will still follow us into 2023. Green is quickly being considered as the new neutral, replacing the brighter whites of previous years. Krylon chose the color Spanish Moss as its 2023 color of the year, which is a deep forest green that really adds to your home’s biophilic aesthetic. In spray paint form, you can use this shade of green to upgrade furniture and décor as it works well with practically everything.

Referred to as a midnight green, Spanish Moss reminds us of the richness of nature, tree-filled forests, and mossy terrains. This hue of green is a great neutral because it complements both warm and cool accents. Expert interior designers suggest that you pair this green with colors like gold, sandstone, copper, and other nature-related shades.

Raspberry Blush by Benjamin Moore

 The 2023 color of the year according to Benjamin Moore is a vibrant red-orange color called Raspberry Blush. Since 2023 is the year of self-expression, people are ready to bring color back into their homes. A bright and cheery color like Raspberry Blush is the perfect shade to add liveliness to any room in your house.

This vibrant red-orange shade is a powerful statement color that adds personality to your home and if you like more of a maximalist approach, it can even be used on your walls, trim, and ceiling to make the room feel like a big cozy hug. Some colors that balance out Raspberry Blush nicely include soft shades of white and beige as they help balance out the brightness of the hue.

Terra Rosa by Dunn-Edwards

Sticking with the biophilic trend of 2022, a color like Terra Rosa is a perfect mix between a natural shade and something a little more playful. Terra Rosa by Dunn-Edwards is a blend of brown and burgundy, creating a beautiful rosy pink shade that functions both as a grounding neutral and an elegant accent.

With health and well-being as another top focus of 2022, it’s no surprise that the colors of 2023 reflect this notion. This gentle color is soothing and comforting, making it a great hue for your bedroom. Without being too bright, Terra Rosa is a perfect choice for someone not looking for a color quite as bright as Raspberry Blush, but is still looking for a shade that will create the same warm and fuzzy feelings.

Redend Point by Sherwin-Williams

Almost like a lighter version of Terra Rosa, Redend Point by Sherwin-Williams is a lovely blend of blush and beige featuring subtle pink undertones. This top-trending 2023 interior design shade is also very grounding and fits in with the trending earth tone color palette as it looks like the color of clay. Although quite grounding, Redend is still a comforting color that can bring joy to your home’s interior. This rosy hue is a great color for your entryway as it greets guests with an inviting welcome. It is also a great color for furniture as it can make anything an eye-catching focal point of a room.

Canyon Ridge by Better Homes & Gardens at Walmart

Another great orangey-pink paint color that acts like a neutral when applied to walls is Canyon Ridge by Better Homes & Gardens, a Walmart brand. This color is supposed to be a trendy spin on terra-cotta and pairs nicely with bright blue since they’re opposites on the color wheel. For example, a bright cobalt blue has the perfect amount of vibrancy to balance out the softness of Canyon Ridge, adding a very modern feel to any room. If you’re going for a more rustic aesthetic, a darker denim blue may be a better choice.

Blank Canvas by Behr

Unlike the other colors featured on this list, Black Canvas is not a color that will make a statement, but it is a beautiful color that complements practically everything. While you may be thinking Black Canvas is a shade of black, it’s actually a creamy shade of white that acts as a warm neutral when compared to the more cool-toned modern shades that were popular in previous years. This shade is a great color that allows you to play with other aspects of interior design, like maybe adding a statement rug or an abstract piece of art to the room. This hue of white looks great with all of the earthy tones on this list and acts like a blank slate, promoting individuality and creativity.

Vining Ivy by Glidden

Blues and greens have been really popular hues in 2022 and this won’t stop in 2023. Vining Ivy by Glidden is a gorgeous blend of blue and green, making it both energizing and grounded. This color works in both modern and traditional styles, making it a great choice for those who are a little indecisive about what aesthetic they are aiming for. The versatility of Vining Ivy makes the whole process of interior designing a lot easier since it matches with so many different colors and textures. This blue-green jewel tone looks especially great with wood finishes and stone accents.

Rustic Greige by Dutch Boy

Another great cozy and versatile color for 2023 is the simple blend of gray and beige known as “Rustic Greige” by Dutch Boy. This gray and beige shade is mixed with subtle red undertones that makes this hue amazing with today’s trending earth-tone paints. Neutral but still warm, Rustic Greige envelops any room in warmth, making it a perfect color for bedrooms, kitchens, and family rooms. With the rise of DIY and the prioritization of self-preservation, this color brings feelings of calm and protection to any space in your home.
