Top 5 Trending Paint Colors Featured in the 2024 Mytour Home

Looking to revamp your living space? Paint holds the key to a stunning transformation. From setting the perfect ambiance to injecting vibrant hues, paint offers a quick, budget-friendly solution. For fresh color ideas, explore the 2024 Mytour Home collection.

This stunning 1890s Brooklyn Brownstone was masterfully redesigned by renowned designers. Whether your home is a historic gem or a modern masterpiece, this space will inspire your next design project. Discover five standout paint trends from this year's Mytour Home and learn how to bring these shades into your own home.

Dusty Hues

Though dust is unwelcome in our homes, dusty hues are a different story. "Dusty tones are incredibly trendy at the moment—these are bold colors softened to avoid being overly vibrant or overwhelming," explains Jasmine Roth, a renowned interior designer and HGTV personality.

In the guest suite (pictured above), Roth selected Cottage Door by Valspar, describing it as the ideal dusty blue. "I aimed for a deeply saturated shade that would serve as a rich foundation to complement the room's otherwise neutral design," she shares. "The depth and dimension this color brings are truly remarkable."

If you're considering incorporating a dusty tone into your home but are unsure where to start, Roth recommends experimenting in a nursery, painting a dining room ceiling (a current trend), applying it to kitchen cabinets, or using it as exterior paint.

Earth Tones

Earth tones are currently trending, as noted by Hema Persad, the designer and founder of Sagrada Studio. She chose Mesa Sand and Mauve Blush by Valspar for the Mytour Home spaces she designed. "Pinks are making a significant impact in design right now, and both these shades feature subtle pink undertones," she explains. "Under the right lighting conditions—specifically warm, eye-level lighting rather than harsh overhead fixtures—these paint colors enhance all skin tones, reflecting light in a soft, flattering manner."

While these paints were applied in the bedroom and bathroom, Persad also recommends them for kitchen use. "They are excellent choices for cabinetry, especially when paired with a marble or quartzite countertop that includes pink or purple veining, such as the widely favored Calacatta Viola marble."

Cool Tones

Opting for cool tones is always a smart move, and that’s precisely what designer Amber Guyton from Blessed Little Bungalow did for the laundry room. "My goal was to craft a vibrant, cheerful, and tropical environment that would make laundry day enjoyable. To achieve this, I used Valspar's 2024 Color of the Year, Renew Blue, on the walls and skylight, and paired it with Valspar's Purple Fury for the cabinets and trim," she explains. "These striking cool shades complement each other beautifully, evoking a sense of creativity and awe."

Cool tones are not only trendy but also timeless. "Blues are universally appealing and versatile, making them a favorite for any design style or personal preference. It’s a color that seamlessly integrates into any home," Guyton notes.

While these colors shine in a laundry room, Guyton also suggests they’re perfect for spaces like a sitting area, kids' bedroom, playroom, or even for painting cabinetry.

Moody Tones

Jordan Slocum and Barry Bordelon, the duo behind The Brownstone Boys, chose a soft pink shade (Pick of the Litter by Valspar) for the parlor floor. "This color not only accentuates the home's historic architectural features but also introduces a contemporary, bold flair that harmonizes with the natural woodwork. It strikes an ideal balance between modern aesthetics and classic charm, making it a flexible option for diverse design preferences."

When incorporating moody colors, they recommend maintaining equilibrium. "Combining them with neutral tones or natural elements such as wood and stone can amplify their effect without dominating the room," they suggest. "And don’t hesitate to experiment—paint is one of the simplest elements to update in any home!"

Warm Colors

Seeking a touch of elegance? Designer Kate Pierce recommends warm hues, such as Brown Velvet by Valspar, which she applied in the basement speakeasy. "With no natural light in the speakeasy, embracing the darkness was essential. After all, a speakeasy should exude both luxury and seclusion, don’t you think?" she remarks. "This shade perfectly complemented the room’s shadows, creating a lavish and inviting ambiance."

She chose to color drench the area, crafting an intimate and alluring vibe "ideal for gathering with friends on a chilly winter evening, sipping cocktails under soft, warm lighting that reflects enchantingly off the brown walls and ceiling."

Even without a speakeasy or home bar (let’s face it, how many homes have one?), Pierce notes that this color and similar shades work beautifully in a bedroom. "Its versatility makes it suitable for various spaces," she explains. "I find it particularly appealing in a bedroom, where creating a warm and snug atmosphere is the main goal."
