The top summer paint trends of 2022 are now in store
Bright forecast: Butter yellow. Blue sky. Color aubergine mood. And to keep it all grounded, there’s a classic sequel, crisp white. This is what interior designers predict.
Paint Trend #1: Butter Yellow
Avery Cox, founder and principal of Design Avery Cox. She believes that avocado yellow pairs well with more saturated colors like magenta, cobalt, and green (especially when these bright colors are used in textiles and accessories). This color brings warmth, exudes happiness and is an easy alternative to white.

Summer paint trend #2: Nature-inspired blues and greens
We’re still feeling the effects of the lockdown — and we probably will for a while. Because of this, Antoinette Arrington, founder of Haume, believes that we continue to aspire to bring the outdoors into our homes “through colors that mimic bright moments in nature”. This includes beautiful blues that “reminiscent of a bright summer sky,” says Arrington, and natural, muted patches of blue “inspired by the ocean.”
Arrington’s nature-inspired paint options:
* Honorable Blue Mention: Sherwin Williams’ Aleutiana favorite of designer Amy Youngblood. “It’s a bright blue that’s perfect for summer but still muted enough to not be overwhelming,” says Youngblood.
Summer paint trend #3: Purple

Anastasia Casey, founder IDCO Studio and Design Camp, believes that this hue, reminiscent of violets and grapes, is gaining ground in summer design focus. Once a forged design, purple has had a significant makeover thanks to intrepid designers who weren’t afraid to take risks, says Casey. “We’ve seen muted purple used everywhere, from the kitchen to the bathroom and even the main living space.”

Summer paint trend #4: Bronze gold
Think of the colors that appear when the late July sun sets over the grasslands. It is a beautiful bronze by Jennifer Walter, owner and chief designer of Folding chair design Co., the prediction will be huge this season. Recently, she used it in a mud bath with a “British pass”. The perfect bronze, which Walter describes as a “cousin of the deep sunflower,” is ideal because it’s not too overwhelming. “It covers the room and captures all the sunlight in the right places.”

Summer paint trend #5: Bright white
Sometimes you need the absence of color to appreciate color. Case in point: A bright, fresh white is always in style. Karen Wolf, creative principal of Karen B Wolf Interiors, believe this, because her clients always ask for it. “We use our perennial favorite, Chantilly Lace, because it’s bright, crisp, and warm white with no pigment.”
