Interior painting is a great way to refresh and update the look of your home. With so many new trends and techniques emerging, it can be challenging to keep up with what's in style. In this article, we'll explore some of the latest trends in residential painting, including accent walls, color blocking, and more. From bold and bright colors to subtle and sophisticated hues, we'll take a look at what's popular and how you can use these trends to update your own home.

1. Accent Walls

One of the most popular trends in interior painting is the use of accent walls. An accent wall is a single wall in a room that is painted a different color or pattern than the other walls. This can add visual interest and depth to a space, as well as serve as a focal point. Accent walls can be used in any room of the house, from living rooms and bedrooms to kitchens and bathrooms. Some popular choices for accent walls include bold colors like deep reds, blues, and greens, as well as patterns like stripes or geometric shapes.

2. Color Blocking

Another trend that's been gaining popularity in recent years is color blocking. This technique involves painting different sections of a room in different colors, creating a bold and eye-catching look. This can be done by painting adjacent walls different colors, or by using contrasting colors on the same division. Color blocking is a great way to add visual interest and drama to a room, and can be used in a variety of spaces, from living rooms and bedrooms to home offices and entryways.

3. Ombre Effect

The Ombre effect is a unique and subtle way of adding depth and dimension to a room. The ombre effect is a gradual blend of one color to another. This can be done by blending two or more colors on one wall, or by using a single color that gradually gets lighter or darker as it moves across the wall. This trend is perfect for bedrooms or living rooms, adding a touch of luxury without being overwhelming.

4. Textured Walls

Another trend that is gaining popularity is textured walls. This can be achieved by using different paint types, such as matte, gloss, or metallic, or by using textured paint rollers or stencils. Textured walls add depth and interest to a room, and can create various looks, from rustic and natural to sleek and modern. This trend works well in living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms.

In conclusion, many new and exciting trends in interior painting can be used to update and refresh the look of your home. From accent walls and color blocking to ombre effect and textured walls, there are plenty of options to choose from. Whether you're looking to make a bold statement or simply add a touch of visual interest, these trends can help you achieve the look you want. With the right paint and a bit of creativity, you can easily incorporate these trends into your home and create a space that's both stylish and functional.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
