Named for the Moroccan butter-soft slipper, this bold yellow adds a touch of fun no matter how much space it takes up in a room. Cover one wall with Babouche for something bright but never out of style — as the paint label emphasizes — colorful. Pair it with Farrow & Ball’s soft black balcony for a sumptuous adjoining location, or simply apply it to a window frame for optimism. Cozy is the name of this year’s game.
Green breakfast room number 81
Just the name “green breakfast room” conjures up a laid-back setting. Cheerful bright greens look just as good in sunlight as glow lights, trending colors make a beautiful background for your artwork, furniture or favorite houseplants. The Farrow & Ball team recommends painting both the walls and furniture to make the space appear larger.

Red paint can be understandably difficult to work with. Luckily, Farrow & Ball focuses on the shade’s function, deploying its audacity as a sort of design hack. Take a shot of the circus-inspired ceiling in the photo above, blurring the gap between the ceiling and the wall. Red can also create a sort of pop art effect when combined with other primary colors.
No trending list would be complete without a simple, soothing color, especially in 2022. Stone Blue offers a classic color flair that can be applied sparingly. Save for a vintage-inspired look.
Sometimes the greatest color choice is no color at all, especially thanks to the rich texture of Farrow & Ball paint. This warm ivory feels new every time light hits it and serves as the perfect base for deeper colors.
