As with everything in fashion, wall color trends come and go, sometimes lasting only a few months. But as much as they change continuously, we can follow our own style, without neglecting the trends of the moment, and adapt them to our personal style and taste. The really important thing is that you like it and it looks good with your decoration.
Today several major paint brands have announced their colors for the year 2022. Let’s see what shades several of them choose, including Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams or Behr.
White
It is one of the simplest options, since the white color on the walls can act as a backdrop to incorporate small notes of color in the decoration.
It never goes out of style, so our house will always look current. It will only be enough to change the decoration accessories to keep it modern.
You can use warm, vanilla, or cooler whites mixed with a small dose of grey.
Beige
You can compose a nice palette with soft shades of sand, gray and white.
This color, on the walls, is also timeless, so your home will never look out of style.
It incorporates rustic woods and oxidized metals, to give a rustic industrial touch, one of the chic trends of the moment.
This beige has a reddish undertone, which is very reminiscent of clay.
This other beige has a yellowish touch, which also looks very elegant.
Brown
The brown tones of the earth are incorporated into the home to achieve a decoration inspired by nature.
The reddish undertones are reminiscent of adobe or mud, which combined with raw colors such as gray, achieve a very beautiful composition that connects us with Mother Earth.
By marking contrasts with light and dark tones, an emphasis on silhouettes can be achieved. This year, browns are combined with whites and greys, which undoubtedly make up a place with light and personality.
Whites stand out in an environment where brown predominates, and can become the focal point, as we see below, where the washbasin acquires an indisputable leading role.
The focal point can also be grey, like this side table.
Another way to achieve an interesting focal point is to paint just one wall this beautiful color.
If gold is combined with a dark brown, the result is majestic and opulent.
Grises
To give a warm and welcoming look, you can implement gray neutrals on the walls, and combine them with furniture and accessories in warm or bold colors.
Dark green, brown or yellow go well with all shades of grey.
As you can see in these images, there are many shades of gray that can be used. Both cool and warm tones will help you achieve excellent results.
Mint green is one of the colors that is being used a lot today, and it looks great with gray.

It also looks great against analogous shades of green. Combined with pastel pink, old pink or lilac, it also looks very powerful.
There are also opposites on the color wheel (red-orange) to consider; shades like salmon, coral and tangerine can bring green to life. Mint green is the perfect complementary color to coral.
