The 11 Best Places in Your Home to Try Out Trendy Paint Colors

Knowing how to play with trending colors can be difficult if you don’t have enough wall space or even too much. While you don’t want to repaint your home every time a new color is trending, there are many areas where you can play with color, helping you to use a greater variety of shades in your home.

When you love the latest paint colors but you’re unsure how they’ll look in your home, test them out in some creative places before overhauling an entire room.

1. Petite wood furniture

While we aren’t saying to rush off and paint over your prized mahogany credenza, if you have some second-hand furniture or spot a wooden nightstand or chair that’s worse for wear at the thrift store, know that you can breathe new life into it with a fresh coat of paint.

Some pieces that will work well for this are nightstands, accent tables, outdoor furniture, wooden chairs, or vintage crates.

2. A Hidden Accent Wall

Painting one wall in a room is not a groundbreaking style choice. Consider moving the accent wall somewhere unexpected, such as the back wall of a pantry. This oft-neglected area of the home could use a makeover, and how great would it look having a bold color, like a brilliant aqua, in an otherwise muted space?

3. Inside your kitchen drawers

Painting the interior of your kitchen drawers is a genius way to add color to your kitchen and a whimsical surprise whenever you reach for your go-to spatula.

4. Knock, Knock

Whether you want to offer more curbside appeal or warm up a room, painting your front door a vibrant color sure makes a statement. There’s an added benefit beyond style with a bold color choice. A signature color makes it easy for you to give directions to visitors; just tell them you live at the house with the orange door—it stands out much more than plain address numbers.

5. Bookshelves

Books are like works of art themselves, so choose a paint color that helps to showcase them. You can even paint the backing in contrasting colors, allowing you to play with even more trendy colors.

6. Another Take on an Accent Wall

If you’re stuck between keeping your familiar color scheme but want an accent wall, it can be hard to reconcile the two looks. For indecisive folks, we have a way to test out an accent wall or geometric paint pattern temporarily. Pick a small wall in your home and instead of painting the wall directly, add removable wallpaper and paint over that instead.

7. Bathroom cabinets

While you may immediately reach for a neutral like black, grey, or brown, consider choosing a poppy color like teal, tangerine, or peach. If you have a fun shower curtain with a design you love, choose one of the accent colors from it to create a cohesive bathroom.

8. Step by Step

There are plenty of unexpected places to experiment with color in a home. One area to consider is the front of the stairs—providing you have flat, non-carpeted stairs that you don’t mind transforming. If you select a color that blends elegantly with the rest of the room, this can look sensational. The right color choice is key, so it may be worth painting some squares of canvas to get an idea of how it will look before painting the stairs directly.

9. Fireplaces

Have a fireplace that doesn’t hold all the old-world charm you want it to? Give it a beautiful upgrade with your favorite trending paint color. Mantels are a fantastic display opportunity and a place to gather around, so you want to give them a little love. Whether it’s covered in brick, out-of-date stone, regular plaster, or drywall, you can paint it. Just be sure to ask the paint consultant at your local hardware store for the appropriate primer, preparation materials, paint type, and tools.

10. Areas of Natural Light

There are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to painting around your home. If you have a window box or ledge that’s visually lacking, pick a paint color that will really pop since these small areas don’t usually get enough attention. For a dramatic change, opt for a deep gray or black darker. If that’s too much change for you, keeping it light and airy with a softer color is a classic choice that’s always in style.

11. It’s Worth Framing

Over the years you may have amassed a collection of framed photos. Some frames age poorly, but rather than replacing them, turn it into a small crafting project. Paint all your outdated frames the same color, or use two or three colors and create a photo wall in your home. This looks amazing for a wall going up the stairs or stand-alone frames on a side table.
