If you’re not easily influenced by trends and what’s ‘in style’ or don’t give much thought to phrases like, “the color of the year,” you’re a perfect candidate for timeless interior paints. As much as it can be fun to try new trends, repainting your home every year just to keep up with the trends can be both time-consuming and uneconomical.
Thankfully, there are a few tried-and-true, timeless shades you can use in your interior and they will never go out of trend. When choosing interior color pellets, it turns out that there's a fairly consistent palette we turn to again and again over the decades. They’re classic colors that you cannot possibly confine a particular season because they’re versatile and timeless.
If you’re looking for some inspiration on timeless home interior colors that would work in most rooms, large or small, playful or traditional, we have a few suggestions for you. Have a look;
Blue
Yes, if you’re looking for a timeless color pellet but still need to introduce some color into your space, blue is a great starting point. Perhaps the most universally loved color, blue calls to mind-calming images of the sea and the sky. For timelessness, consider going for toned-down shades of blue such as powder blue or deep navy, and pair it up with honey-toned woods or white textiles.
White
White is a universal timeless, classic color with the ability to soothe, which is probably why it stars in color themes for spas. There’re numerous shades of white to choose from, you don’t have to automatically go for stack white, which can be quite intimidating to work around. Cream, eggshell, Navajo white, and soft whites could be great timeless picks. Just be sure to introduce some color with furniture, textile, and décor so that your interior doesn’t feel clinical.
Yellow
Yellow is probably not your typical timeless color unless you’re thinking about the more reserved, toned down shades of yellow –which is what we’re recommending here. Generally, cheerful shades of yellow create interior spaces where homeowners and guests love to gather, from traditionally inspired living rooms to country kitchens. To keep a timeless appearance, avoid the intense, bright shades and instead opt for shades like straw, pale lemon or ocher.
Gray
Finally, to the neutral shades that you’ve maybe been expecting on this list. Gray has been trending in recent years, but this is due to its timelessness and ability to play along with many other color shades seamlessly. It remains a classic, timeless color with a wide range of options, from the deepest charcoal shades to the palest fog. Gray might, however, make your space seem a little dull when used predominantly in large quantities, so don’t be afraid to throw in a few more colors for excitement.
Greige
Greige is a combination of beige and gray, which sets you into the deep world of timeless neutrals. Greige, combines the warmth of beige with the sophistication of gray to expand your neutral horizons with a pinch of color. It works in pretty much any style, but it will lend you extra mileage when trying to create a timeless rustic look. You can brighten it up a little with accents of russet and cream.
