Benjamin Moore has released their Colour of the Year and Colour Trends for 2025, and we are loving the deep, earthy tones. Cinnamon Slate belongs to the Colour Preview collection. It is warm, rich brown with subtle undertones of red, evoking a cozy and inviting atmosphere that complements both traditional and modern spaces.
TIPS FOR SELECTING THE PERFECT PAINT COLOURS FOR YOUR HOME:
- Consider Natural Light: Observe how different colors look in various lighting throughout the day. Natural light can significantly alter a paint's appearance.
- Test Samples: Paint small patches on your walls and live with them for a few days to see how the colors change with different times of day and room activities.
- Create a Color Palette: Choose a cohesive palette that complements existing furniture, decor, and architectural features to create a harmonious look throughout your home.
- Think About Room Function: Consider the mood you want to create; softer colors can promote calmness in bedrooms, while vibrant hues can energize spaces like kitchens or playrooms.
- Use the 60-30-10 Rule: This design principle suggests using 60% of a dominant color, 30% of a secondary color, and 10% of an accent color to achieve a balanced and visually appealing space.
Paint plays a crucial role in homes, enhancing aesthetics, protecting surfaces, and influencing the overall mood and ambiance of each space.
