I got that feeling too..... Who in their right mind would put that shade of green--or really any shade of green in a bathroom? I had a radiation oncologist who had changing cubicles where you changed into a hospital gown. The cubicles were small, finished with mottled grey-green plastic laminate, there was a full length mirror you couldn't get away from, and an florescent down light about 3 feet over your head. Heidi Klum couldn't look good under these circumstances--let alone when you are sick!
Do they think we’re stupid? No, the staffers were all to young to know. I would NEVER buy their paint. I would tell my kids and they wouldn’t care. It makes me cry. 🇺🇸
Welcome back! The Design Club is fine, questions and answers, meh..,The best are your videos like this, where you educate us and bring the world of interior design to laypeople. Thanks.
My architecture mentor has a lot of sayings :)) one of them is: "there are colors for houses, there are colors for cars and there are colors for panties. For God's sake folks, don't mess them up!". So whatever the color trend is, the one that implies common sense and nature will never go out of style.
The Benjamin Moore pallet this year are very reminiscent of colors from my past and a period where I kinda went overboard in painting rooms in the house. The joy statement part also rings a bell as it also was a point when I was figuring out I had SAD and keep saying to the hubs ( who was supportive but slightly horrified) I can’t take all the grey - we need color!
regarding SAD - you might try out different K numbers in light bulbs - I found that lower K numbers (K2300, K2700) were making me very depressed and that K4000 to K5000 (which for me is a true white light) fixed that. I used to buy K4000 or K4500, but I am finding that the new inexpensive K5000 bulbs are fine (not too blue). The new inexpensive (at least in the US) K5000 bulbs are called "daylight" as opposed to "soft white" (but check the packaging - unfortunately K numbers are always printed in tiny mouse type).
@@ros8986 Interesting idea as I’ve been blaming all the white walls for being depressing in my condo. I should probably change light bulbs and see if that helps
@@Jen39x At least it's cheaper, easier, faster and there's no reason to consult with the COA to make sure they aren't offended. I'm older & I hate white because I was in hospital a lot as a kid. I hate seafoam green for the same reason.
Ms Lisa!!! Welcome BACK! (laughter), it seems that I lost you for a while, I would not see your videos on RU-vid for a months! Thank you so much for returning.... You are so unique-joyfully guiding us! I confess that the colours you presented would NEVER be in my mind but with your advice and ways to use them; I might go bold!!! You are terrific !!! Have a lovely beginning of Autumn Ms Lisa!! helene :))
LOL!! The Mauve reminds me of my parents old living room ... where you never sat! Thank you for all your valuable guideance Lisa! I wish to have a touch of your talent. #masterdesigner
I like BM quiet moments from 2022. Reminds me of Restoration Hardware stores in 2000. They sold the sage paint color that all their stores were painted.
Loved mauve the first time around and might do the whole great room!! No seriously Coral Blush may be the color I was waiting for. Single woman in a condo that faces north east and needs some color to warm it up. Pink is a favorite color but Coral Blush is a sophisticated choice
Benjamin Moore Raleigh Peach is like Conch Shell, but way more timeless. It’s a dupe for Farrow and Ball Setting Plaster. I painted my bedroom this color a few years ago and it’s absolutely gorgeous, nearly a neutral. It glows in morning light and is a lovely warm neutral in the evenings.
Tell us how you really feel about mauve! 😂 Thanks for your no-holds-barred review of the new color trends. You’re always super informative and fun to watch. PS Brava, Dana 👏🏼
Just no to the mauve!!! The everglade color reminds me of a room in Jamie and Claire's home on Fraser's Ridge in Outlander. I have been eying that room for quite some time and loving it.
Thanks for this post on paint colors. I remember the 70's (I am old) when the brown wood paneling was popular. I know people who did their whole house in this. In my opinion brown is the most depressing color for walls. one little office I worked in was painted in a medium brown. My co-worker described it as dirty diaper brown! My ex-husband told me he hated my interior decorating...but when he had his own apt., he had everything brown...drapes, rug, chairs, sofa. It was ugly and depressing. I like buttercream or a touch of lemon yellow. A friend painted her living room/dining room a lovely raspberry with white furniture and carpet...I loved that color too.
Another great teaching video and fun to watch, too. I agree with you about the "mauves". They remind me of bandaids and the dried, dusty, faux flowers of the 80's. Lovin' the warmer undertones and the joy colors. I'll have to look for space in my home where I can splash a little "joy" here and there. Thanks, Lisa, Dana and crew...you're the best! Sharing with friends on social media. :)
OMG!! I sooo agree on those colors of the year! Hideous! I always love very deep, muted greens, blues, and teals. I did my home in Denver in a deep teal. We threw a lot of parties when I lived there with my son. I kept getting offers from friends of friends wanting to buy my house when they came for a party. 😂. It felt like a big hug when you walked in.
Raspberry Blush is close to my ideal dining room color. I have been dreaming of owning a Federal or Colonial historic house and having one of those sort of "Indian red" dining rooms.
I actually think Savannah Green would look excellent with a deep peacock green/blue or purple - but used sparingly. For instance, I’m thinking of using it for my headboard color in my Venezuelan Sea (Ben Moore) bedroom. I’m seeing mustard in abundance these days in the stores- so I kinda get why they picked it. I agree 1000 percent with you on all your other choices!
The blush color would work well in a bedroom or bathroom since it will emphasize and complement skin tones. A green or blue room would make varicose veins more apparent for example.
Colour is the most important thing to me when it comes to design, so I love videos like this. Prepare for an essay! 😅 Let’s go through some 2023 colours of the year: “Raspberry Blush” by Benjamin Moore - Love this. So bright, fun, and energetic, and I feel it would be easy to introduce to so many different rooms. Reminds me a bit of Pantone’s beautiful but awkwardly named “Living Coral” Colour of the Year from 2019. “Spanish Moss” by Krylon - A very country-fied, cottage green as they present it, but I can see how it could be adapted to several design styles. A dark neutral. “Terra Rosa” by Dunn Edwards - I agree that this is a miss. It works with so limited of a palette because it’s too vivid to match with anything but too muted to be an accent. Not quite. “Redend Point” by Sherwin Williams - I feel like this odd bandage colour doesn’t fit interior design; it could work better in fashion. It just harkens back to the 1980s in unpleasant ways and the pinky/mauvy undertone is truly sickening. No thanks. “Canyon Ridge” by Better Homes & Gardens - This light coral is fun and cute. I still like “Raspberry Blush” a lot better, but it’s a fun sort of sockeye salmon shade that could accommodate people who are less adventurous. “Blank Canvas” by Behr - Can a white even be a colour of the year? Behr says so! This is a perfectly fine warm white with grey undertones, which I suppose it helpful when you’re room planning. “Vining Ivy” by Glidden - This teal is just fine. Not great. I feel it could be more vivid, because it looks a bit dated, like early 1990s. “Rustic Greige” by Dutch Boy - Boring stone colour. Too bland to be exciting. Valspar’s colours: - “Gentle Violet” - So light that it would make a room look like it’s under fluorescent light, which makes it feel cold and industrial. - “Southern Road” - This powdery pink would need to be in perfect circumstances to look right … tough sell for me. - “Flora” - I got bored quite quickly by the sage green obsession everyone had these last few years. Not my thing. - “Everglade Deck” - Easily the best colour in the collection. I wouldn’t pair it with the colours they chose, but it’s a lovely bluish teal. “Color of the Year” by Backdrop - A fun yellow-orange that would make a poppy accent colour. “Darkroom” by HGTV/Sherwin Williams - I really like this warm dark grey. I’d be sure to pair it with very few other colours so that it would sing on its own merits. “Wild Wonder” by Dulux - With apologies to my Twin, this greeny yellow, reminiscent of pus, does not work for me. It isn’t super adaptable to multiple design styles and plays well with a very limited palette. If it’s any consolation, some of the accompanying colours they chose, like Cocoa Pod, are quite lovely on their own. “Melt Water” by Sico - Another okay, average teal. I think you could do better with a slightly different shade and hue. “Moments” by BeautiTone - Exactly the same thoughts as “Melt Water”, because they’re pretty similar. Farrow & Ball has some interesting new colours this year. Bamboozle is similar to that Cinnamon you mentioned in the video. A lot of simple, boring neutrals, but Hopper Head is a nice pure dark grey, and Wine Dark could trick the eye into being bluer than it is in the right context. I’m so looking forward to seeing what Pantone picks this year! Only a few more weeks! 😀
LUV this!!! I gotta check out the others I didn't have time to cover! Hope we'll see you tomorrow, the Paint PPL are join gin us, and thy'er from your 'hood! xo L
I love all white walls etc. but I live in Michigan, and we have gray skies and snow 6-7 months a year. So, I need "some" warmer colors in my condo. I compromised with a taupe/soft yellow (sort of like 2022 Pale Moon) on the upper part of my walls with white board and batten and trim. This warms my new chocolate brown wide board flooring (I have a large dark Lab that loses hair and I have learned ALWAYS match your flooring to your dog's hair! LOL). My condo is small, only 1,285 sq. ft so the white helps to make it appear larger. My brand new kitchen is light and white with a slightly warmer toned countertop just to warm itup a bit so that it does not end up looking "cold." I use stronger/deeper colors in the furniture, artwork, and fabrics.
I also live in Michigan and I have a family member that did their home in grey's and cool whites and all I can think about is the cold dead dreary winters we have! I get a headache just being in it.
Okay little miss you are in big trouble. Your skip it colors were having me laugh so hard I scared my dogs. Spot on as always Lisa!! Your channel always inspires me and always makes me smile
Hi guys, As much as I appreciate very dark rooms - I have a rich, forest green powder room myself - I couldn’t imagine a black formal room or bedroom in our northern sun-less winters, regardless of how many lights I might have in them. After about 4:00 in the afternoon, I wouldn’t be able to distinguish outside from inside!
Looking forward to trying Wenge for our powder room ceiling! Hubs is totally down with it. He is planning to drop the ceiling by about 6” (and leave a slit open around the edges) so that we can hide the fan and maybe the metal plates where the lights attach to the ceiling. We will paint Wenge in that area above the wall paper so that it just looks like a bit of a shadow around the edges of the dropped ceiling. Thanks for thinking of Wenge for this room!!!
They are very strong colours. I rented a new, bigger apartment (in Scandinavia) and now I have a chance to pain my walls accordingly to 2023 colours - I must paint them anyway. I have one problem only: the floor. It is very dominating, dark reddish laminat. Almost already as one of those colours of 2023, but not quite. I do not know what it is, I must figure it out when I move in. I prefere light floors and this thing really is one of the negatives in that apartment. But, I took the challenge and ponder, how to make it look my home- and I always have a beautiful harmonious home, even never so elegant as Lisa’s examples, nor expensive. I use recycled furniture a lot - and Ikea. But now, I do not want anything from Ikea. Now I live in the city where there are several shops that sell old furnitures, especially old Artek-furniture (modern antique), and I think I use them. I like more or less Scandinavian minimalism and I do not want lots of stuff, nor furniture, but what I have, I want to choose carefully. White is my favourite ”colour”. However, it can make a hard contrast with the reddish floor, so I think that at least for the living room, I choose some greyish cool colour to make balance with the red floor - and white, of course. I cannot use green with the red floor, because they are contrasting colours and might give headache if combined together and brown is too warm together with red, at least in my space. Mauve is out of the question, it is an awful colour. I could maybe use it in my underwear, if I am forced to. Rather not, it najes me feel as a grandmom. I have two green design sessels, I think I must let them covered with some white or light grey, because that green does not look good with the red floor. Whatever the colours will be, I want to create a light athmosphere, yet very friendly, not cold. I noticed that in this video, in all examples the floor is very neutral and also the colours and details are very carefully chosen, so it is really hard to say anything about a single colour. It is always the combination that matters, no colour alone is good or bad (or maybe mauve is, but even that, maybe your trash can can be of that colour… in the closet.)
Good paint is the beauty of a house. Am even planning of changing mine before the end of the year but still debating the one am going to used, my current paint in my house is white. How’re you doing?
Oh my word!😂🤣 The mauves and skin tone colors are so repulsive!! I had to laugh watching you talk about the ugly colors. No one’s feelings got hurt, unless paint chips are now animate! Teehee
OMG....Love that last coral blush color! So pretty...wonder if it would work with my cream color bedding in the spare bedroom and put some new furniture in the room to make it pop or paint it with those stone accent colors. I am looking for something different with our next house as we are getting ready to retire to Florida!
Perfect timing on colours. In our serene new master, I have several colours due to the concept. Just not one wall cover. What whites would you suggest?
I'm going to say it--I love Grassy Knoll, just not a whole room of it. Because I graduated from uni in 1980, large amounts of mauve, or dusty lilac terrify me (as does polished brass *anything*) and if anyone pairs it with dusty teal in the same LRV I may go postal, or start smoking again. Wenge reminds me of black cherry or mahogany woods, so I wonder how it would look with a cooler mint tone? And I love the cinnamon color as either a dining room color (I'm in the far north and the light is very grey/blue & the sun sets are at 4:30 today), or in my bedroom, which has a lot of Japanese prints in it.
Hi Lisa, love your video as always! Totally agree that the mauve is horrendous - but I'm seeing it in so many places in design! I think it's a terrible choice for the homeowner and it reminds me of other industries where the creative team is too focused on winning awards and being innovative/creative rather than doing what's best for the client.
Agree with your analysis of colors like mauve. But, there are exceptions where a color like Grassy Knoll would be ideal. Sadly, I can think of only one: a makeup station for the Wicked Witch of the West. 🧟 😂
After seeing your video about the Desert Modern style I’m OBSESSED with styling my home that way! I’m thinking of using a warm off white in all the living areas but want something cozier in the bedroom. I was thinking a midtone terracota type color but would that be too orange?
Welcome back! What a wonderful video: the good, the bad, and the ugly of 2023 paint colors. Thank you. (I tried Dezign Club, but it just wasn’t right for me. Guess I was looking for answers to my own design dilemmas.)
What I'd really like to hear from you is exteriors, particularly colours that go well with traditional brick. I didn't like it when I bought the house, but 5 yrs later have come to love it. Circa 1960, an almost yellow almost orange brick but with a nice rosy undertone, not an annoying orange. I thought the front doors (brownstone style duplex) should be an "almost-black" indigoish or aubergineish/raisinish tone (WENGE?), and trims being a mushroomy greige or bluish gray. Help is needed to avoid too many nutso-looking hours staring at your house with Bristol board samples hanging all over it.
Sorry, but I don't like any of the 2023 colors except for (maybe) the Blush one. I don't like dark colors for homes (interior or exterior). I might use a medium tone paint as an accent on one or two walls of a room, but other than this, I stick with light colors on walls. I save the deeper colors for furnishings or accessories. It makes the spaces look so much larger and cheerier.
My bedroom has a yellow undercoat with a glaze on top I did with plastic grocery bags. It’s been 10 years on and I need to do some crack repair. So with the repair I’ll have to repaint. Is glazing still “in” style? I live in a log home and it does go well with the decor in my opinion and I still love it.
I cannot comprehend a world where mauve is vilified in the same sentence where orange is excused, & even defended. There is NEVER ANY excuse for orange in ANY iteration.
😆😆😆 Very fair opinion. I am quite partial to burnt oranges, mauve, not so much. You love what you love Marnie. If it works for you, that’s the most important thing in your space.
Lisa must have about 30 coats or more of paint on her wall if she changes wall color every year or season. Lol. I don't like dark colors on the walls and neither does my plants. But she has a great eye for design on a budget which I appreciate.
There’s one called Coral Dust 2173-50 but it’s quite deep and you might want to reduce it 50% depending on the light in your room. Remember, do the rule of 3; 3 colours, 3 places, 3times of day and take notes. Hope that helps.
It’s funny, but the one new colour you dislike, is and has always been one of my favourites😁 Yes, It does look like something that might come out of the rear end of a farm animal, but in small doses and combined with a sexy turquoise (I know, it sounds crazy, but it’s a good crazy😜), moody teal, gold, golden yellow, a “get in line” wack of badass black and just for good measure - or wtf measure - chuck in a cheeky contrast pop of punchy (neon if you dare) orangy-red and what do you get? A headache, if not careful, OR the most delicious, sensual colour combination innnnnn the woooorld🔥
Would you talk more about why "vining ivy" was close to good but went too far and what is different about everglade deck? I completely agree with you but don't know how to describe the difference. My large master bedroom is painted a similar color to vining ivy (I think it's the original color from the builder 15 years ago). My master bath is quite large and that color feels overwhelming to me in there even though blues and greens are my absolute favorite. Would love any feedback on what's going on there with these two colors.
Hi Lisa! Loved this video! I want to redo Granny's bedroom in the Benjamin Moore Coral Blush color you mentioned but I can't seem to find it. Is it the same as Benjamin Moore Conch Shell?
Hey Lisa, I Iike these colours, espacilly the rapsberry Blush😊 But here in Germany it is "out" to paint an accent wall I heard. But out or in, if I would dare to paint a wall or room with this colour, I would do it! 😉 But I rent and so it is difficult. But anyway, I really enjoy your videos, mostly because I like your personality!! You have a great knowledge, good taste and such a cool way to present everything😃 Thank you for all your good Tips. Greetings from Germany 😊
I agree! Lisa's personality is uplifting and her videos are very informative and inspiring. I've been thinking about accent walls in our little condo.... But first I thought I'd try getting a large blank canvas and painting it with mixed colors, mostly the one I want to use as an accent wall color. A sort of abstract painting. That way I could see if it was livable and it would be easy to change. What do you think?
