7 Paint Color Trends We Hope Don’t Come Back This Year

June 11, 2026 · 13 min read

Takeaway & Next Steps

Clinging to outdated paint colors diminishes your daily comfort and negatively impacts your home’s resale value. By saying goodbye to stark hospital whites, millennial pinks, and gloomy charcoal grays, you open up your home to light, warmth, and enduring style. Modernizing your walls is a highly rewarding project that yields massive visual returns for a relatively low cost.

To get your project moving today, take these three immediate actions:

First, walk through your home and identify the rooms still trapped by the decorating mistakes of the past decade. Second, purchase a few peel-and-stick paint samples in modern shades like warm greige or earthy sage green, and observe how they look in your specific lighting. Third, assess your garage or basement to see which essential painting tools you already own and which you need to buy.

Tackling home color trends does not have to be intimidating. We want to see how you banish those bad paint choices from your home. Share your before-and-after project photos with us, and be sure to subscribe to our newsletter for weekly renovation ideas, practical guides, and expert advice to keep your home looking its absolute best.
